A bit north of where I am, chances of sighting Nessie have increased due to Loch Ness water-levels being at their lowest for several years.

It's one of those afternoons.

The cloudburst ten minutes ago brought the thunder,
and the rain was heavy and the skies dark.

Five minutes ago I looked out the window,
as the storm sounds had gone quiet,
and saw brilliant sunshine and shadow on the grass and trees.

The thunder is still thundering as I speak.
I ought to go hunt for a rainbow.

Yesterday morning was the coldest morning of the year so far. The actual temperature was -4.7 C but the "feels like" was -8.3C. That's fairly chilly.

I'll let you translate into F, should you need.

Today, Donuel is a case in point:
High humidity and gray clouds dominating the sky overhead.
And as I don't have to tell you,
the damaging light rays which contribute to said cancer
take no notice of those gray clouds.

The place would feel better with some rain,
but the rain is elsewhere, not here.

Hot, with tons of mosquitoes. They got a real head start with the wettest May we've had in quite a while. The tomatoes are happy, though, if I can keep the water level right - enough, but not too much.

It will reach the 40's F tonight. Grey all day today with showers.

More than ANY other issue discussed here that will kill more people and life itself is the issue of declining fresh water supplies. We are easily distracted by small issues like pandemics, nukes and guns but its water that will have the most important voice in the ultimate survival upheaval.

And now it's really really cold......hasn't gone above single figures C all day, the "feels like" hasn't even reached 5deg C.....it's snowing not too far away. This town is in a broad valley so I doubt we will see the wet white stuff here, but hills not far away will.

The people who get paid to know such stuff tell us that this will be the coldest weather for several years. I believe them.

It's really nice weather for staying inside.

I hope less favourable conditions for the mice come soon JeanieG. Between floods and mice, parts of Australia have had very rough times! My brother (Sunshine Coast region, QLD) has escaped most of this although he did have a couple of days stuck at home as the creek by his house turned into what he called a "raging torrent" in one bout of heavy rain - a minor thing really.

Weather for me (North Norfolk, UK) has been mixed. Mum and I had one teatime meal outside as early as March. April produced a nice spell too but much of May was wet and, at times, with cold and strong winds. June, so far, has had the makings of a pleasant summer...

The mice are still around, still causing problems. Fortunately we have seen no signs of mice, dead or alive, for a few weeks; Bianca the Elderly Geriatric Cat caught one as it emerged from under the dishwasher, we disposed of it in case it had been poisoned and haven't seen any since. There are no new signs of mouse shit either, so we are hopeful that they have moved on from here to elsewhere.

The people who know such things tell us that we need a spell of cold wet weather to get rid of them, so fingers crossed that next week's forecast cold wet weather - even possible snow, no less! - may help with that.

Meanwhile, there are sad news stories about native animals, fish and birds and domestic pets being poisoned by eating straight rodent bait or dead rodents who have been baited. I don't know the answer to that - do we let the mice run free to ruin crops, cause health problems, even cause fires by chewing through cables if by doing so we save other creatures? Or do we leave the mice to bankrupt farmers because their infested crops are useless and can't be sold?

21 degrees!!, & here I am in autumn-y Sydney putting my 85% down quilt on my bed for the first time this year. Thin blanket & woolen shawl have been enough in the past few weeks, but it getting colder.

Forecast was 18 today but we only got to 16 (feels like 12 due to the wind.)

It was 14 (feels like 11 cos of the wind) around 3.30 this afternoon when I went out, warmly wrapped, to buy the paper & a few groceries. I walked past a teenager in a mini skirt, striding along on very white legs. I can't say they were blue with the cold, but they probably weren't so obviously pale earlier in the day! April & May are the times when some folks still dress for summer ...

We're expecting 9 tonight in my part of Sydney near the harbour, & 19 tomorrow. Sydney's western suburbs are expecting between 3 & 5 tonight, & all expect 19 tomorrow.

It's pretty darned fickle at the moment.
Where I am staying,
they switched to refrigerated air conditioning
in light of a recent hot spell.
Just in time for the weather to change
and now we would be better off
if we could turn the heat back on,
but the boilers/engines have been switched off ...

Only just today I saw, taking a brief drive,
how much the rivers have risen from the recent thaw
and the warming temperatures;
there was mild flooding in spots.
Where I am staying, there aren't places where rising waters have an impact,
I had to travel the next town over to see how high the water is.

Rain is forecast here too, starting on Wednesday. The town has recovered from a flood in March - nothing major, although two bridges were closed due to approach roads being under water. We came home last week after four weeks away during which time we only had rain twice, both times at night.

Not only will it rain on Wednesday/Tuhrsday/maybe Friday, but it will cool down.

With a bit of luck it will soon be cold and wet enough to drive away the mice. There has been a plague for several months.....it's time the little buggers buggered off. Into the Oubliette, perhaps.

We met our daughter and her partner for the first time since Christmas Day today, in a lovely park in Truro, where they live. We are not allowed to go into their house, so today's lovely weather gave us a great opportunity to reunite in the open air. We took a picnic and spent several pleasant hours in the balmy air: lovely sunshine and 20C. Most Brits will think I'm lying, as it was far colder in almost all of the rest of the country, but we had it warmer than anywhere else. A really nice day, but a long drive at 130 miles return...

Redefining your misinformation as "sarcasm" isn't exactly honest (and this is my first post to this thread for six weeks: you do let things simmer, don't you?)

Anyway, on the weather front we've been in excess of 23C today, almost but not quite a record high for the Westcountry in March, and 'twas Bude that achieved it...

Like answering a rhetorical question steve tries to correct my sarcasm which is fun while Keb externalizes the threat of weather like a force beyond her control, which it is, but when I think of space and Earth weather my reaction to it is far less stressful. Boston will get 8 more inches of snow this spring. Charge will build up outside our atmosphere and Earth will send up lightening to equalize the charge . Differences that are trying to equalize have a beauty of their own. Even being struck by lightning can be a beautiful thing.
Since I can't stop weather I might as well enjoy it. I like a good storm. All interfaces have a clash of power be it a beach, hot and cold or negative and positive.
