Thread Name: BS: Too Effing Hot!!!
Subject: RE: BS: Too Effing Hot!!!
Our lovely summer continues...
Evironment Canada...Saturday:Cloudy. Showers beginning in the morning. Amount 10 to 20 mm. Fog patches. High 19. UV index 3 or moderate. Saturday night:Showers ending in the evening then mainly cloudy. Low 15.
Showers??? 15mm is showers?
Who is paying them to say that? Donald K. Donald productions which is putting on the U2 concert tomorrow? How in the hell is 15mm just "showers"???
Then again, I am not gonna be at the U2 concert so I don't REALLY care but that seems odd to me. 15mm is RAIN... not showers. And, no "Risk of thundershowers" warning, which we have had about 30 times so far this summer, some of which were "severe thunderstorm watches", scaring me mum every time they have said it. (We had four thunderstorms... one was close and sustained for less than an hour).
Sorry if that all sounds paranoid but I get so very upset that these assholes sensationalize the weather and scare me mum on a daily basis but when U2 comes to town they say 15mm is just gonna be "showers" and no mention of a risk of thundershowers. I should tell Bono about this but he hasn't called me yet. I suppose he's busy doing his voice exercises and trying to keep an edge eh?
