Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: harpgirl Date: 02 Oct 21 - 12:14 AM Hey ho, caters. I lost only one tree this hurricane season thus far. It was a twenty five foot pear tree. I still haven’t hauled it all off since I am busy with caring for dad who is now 98. I’ve spent eight years with him and five before that with mother caring for her with dad’s help. Hospice is now helping me but Sky King is still a brave B24 bomber pilot Anyway hurricane season isn’t over but it has been relatively merciful in north Florida. It was almost ninety today I think, but it’s in the sixties now at night. Love, harpgirl |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 01 Oct 21 - 11:05 AM Hurricane season here runs June 1 until November 30. The one that impacts many of us more is Tornado season, March 1 through June 30 and we here in North Texas live in Tornado Alley (scroll down to see the map). That super cold event we had in Texas earlier this year was in February (exacerbated by our broken power grid). Winters here aren't warm like down at the coast or in Southern Arizona or California, and sometimes we feel the weather come straight through from Saskatchewan. I ended up here for a job, I wasn't attracted by the climate. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 01 Oct 21 - 05:00 AM I went out today in the sunshine, spent a lovely day with a friend, we ate lunch in her backyard. The sky darkened as I was travelling home & I was several steps from my door, after battling strong winds as my street is on the top of a hill with 2 skyscraper apartment blocks on the corner!, when the FIRST few drops touched me & by the time I'd climbed up the stairs, it was a downpour, but I was still dry!!! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 30 Sep 21 - 09:05 PM Sandra, we know the area where the tornado happened - it touched down at Peel, a tiny village outside Bathurst, that we have driven through on our way to/from Canberra. (we a choice of several routes we can take, that one is my favourite) It's not far from Wattle Flat/Sofala, the site of gold rushes in the 1800s. There was also a tornado closer to home, in the Narrabri area a couple of hours west. Rain is forecast for today and tomorrow. So far - 11 a.m. - it is warm and sunny. That will not last. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 30 Sep 21 - 10:48 AM on 25 Sept JennieG posted - Official storm season starts next week, on 1st October - and right on schedule, the first rainstorm of the season is forecast for Thursday/Friday. Today (Thursday evening) the Bureau of Meteorology posted ... the storm season was "really kicking off" and urged residents to check the BOM's website for the latest weather warnings ... after a tornado ripped through NSW's Central West on Thursday afternoon, damaging properties and leaving a 30km trail of destruction. Fortunately it was 400km from The Small Smoke where Jennie lives, & about 200 km from The Big Smoke where I live. Tomorrow the Small Smoke forecast is for Showers & Possible storm while The Big Smoke can expect a Shower or two & Possible storm. |

They are clustering around doorways of an evening, trying to get not only to light but to warmer air, as the evenings get closer and closer to freezing. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 27 Sep 21 - 10:04 PM Now that we're past an equinox again, it's doubtful that the temperature extremes will resume soon, but one never knows. It's that time of the year -- happens twice a year -- when you might not have heat at night and so you pile on the blankets, comforters, and quilts so as not to be chilly in your sleep. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 25 Sep 21 - 10:22 PM Early spring here. A pleasant day although the breeze is a little chilly, particularly in the shade, as there are clouds floating around. Official stor season starts next week, on 1st October - and right on schedule, the first rainstorm of the season is forecast for Thursday/Friday. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: robomatic Date: 25 Sep 21 - 06:33 PM We've had the snow line creeping down the mountains and finally yesterday we had irregular snowfall. From over 13" in the east part of town to about a quarter inch in my part. And then rain and a slushy street situation. But Anchorage did not have its first official snow day, despite the schools being closed, because the offical determination is made at the international airport and they didn't get a measurable amount. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 24 Sep 21 - 11:32 PM Don, it looks like SE Asia is screwed as far as the weather goes. We've dropped about 15o since early in the week, and it looks like it will stay in the mid-80s for the forseeable weather future. No rain, and we could use some. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Charmion's brother Andrew Date: 14 Sep 21 - 05:39 PM In Ottawa, the geese are gathering in flocks on the Rideau as they fatten up as if they are planning on migrating. Mother Nature has planned a sound and light show for you around midnight, apparently. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Charmion Date: 14 Sep 21 - 09:12 AM It's the tail-end of summer in Stratford, Ontario, which means alternating doses of rain, steamy heat, and brisk cool weather that makes one wonder if all trees intend to dump their leaves next week or the week after. In summer, rain usually comes in the form of the Perth County Particular, a thunderstorm of remarkable vim and vigour due to squall lines blowing east from Lake Huron. We had one of those last night, with donner and blitzen from suppertime to long after I went to bed. Today is grey and humid with promise of another storm. I should collect the downed tree branches from last night before another load lands on the lawn. I have yet to see a south-bound skein of geese, however, and the municipal swans are still on the river, so we have plenty of warm days -- and the thunderstorms that come with them -- to look forward to. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 11 Sep 21 - 06:15 PM The sun is out, however it feels like autumn. The breeze certainly helps, as it confounds the expletive-deleted mosquitoes, which were everywhere as long as the humidity was high. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Senoufou Date: 06 Sep 21 - 11:32 AM Same here Steve. Same temperature and blazing sun from a cloudless sky. (But not the humidity, thank goodness) Neighbour-across-the-road came to trim back the two honeysuckles at our front door, and (as she hilariously put it) "Oi s'll trim yer bush 'n orl", meaning the large shrub she calls the 'diarrhoeia' (Spirea). She's the same age as me (!) but toiled away with a stepladder, shears, secateurs and shovel. She was soaked in sweat and I kept begging her to stop. Her face was bright red. But Norfolk people born to the land never give in. They keep a-troshin'. I was exhausted just watching! (Husband was toiling away too at the school where he cleans, in mask and visor) It is indeed unusual weather for September, but I like it. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Steve Shaw Date: 06 Sep 21 - 09:58 AM The sun is blazing down from a cloudless sky. There's no breeze to speak of and it's 25C (77F). The humidity is about 80%. An hour ago I spent half an hour sawing up some scrappy old logs for my fire pit. I got into such a lather that I turned the garden hose on myself. There was no-one around I hasten to add. Not typical Cornwall September weather! We don't get those balmy Mediterranean evenings unfortunately (hence the fire pit, which at least has the compensation of driving the mozzies away). So we'll be sitting outside 'til bedtime again. I'm just off to check if I have something chilling in the fridge. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 06 Sep 21 - 06:10 AM We've had some bright weather this summer in Juneau, Alaska, but it is often quite wet. Our temperatures have mostly topped out in the upper 50s-lower 60s this year. This week- and for the foreseeable future - it's misty and cool, quite nice really. I much prefer this weather to a glaring sun that hurts my eyes and my head and makes my skin prickle. Back when I was treated for lupus I was given orders to stay out of sunshine and for more than 20 years I did just that. I've been in remission for many years and don't plan on ever having an active case again so I do just what feels good to me. I think I must be in the right part of the world. To me, 67F is just about perfect. Hitting 70 is getting a touch overwarm. |

From: Donuel Date: 05 Sep 21 - 11:09 AM The bean counters in the town of Wusa have warned for twemty years that their main intersection needed a stop light but someone had to die before the town would approve the expense. Now that millions have died at this intersection we are finally at the stage of deciding for the next ten years what kind of stop light is needed. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 05 Sep 21 - 09:27 AM In the land of the annoyed when the Earth and life was destroyed in novel new ways as it has been for billions of years, Homo Sapiens marked their 'end' in a pyramid myriad of alerts. There were digital attack alerts, domestic terrorist alerts and climate fire flood and tsunami alerts even Hawaii flirted with nuclear alerts. What I will miss in advance, are mysteries and histories left unknown, not just human mysteries but of whales wondering about the space between our fingers and the dark of the deep. Secrets of all life that time will forever keep. Mutations won't drive evolution into a rapidly changing world now gone as much as our exogenetic genes from our past that turn back on. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Steve Shaw Date: 04 Sep 21 - 08:21 PM Well we had a very nondescript August. After the 11th it's hardly rained at all, and my grass is going brown. But August was pretty cloudy, often windy and not that warm. We had some nice days towards the end of the month, but then it turned grim yet dry again. But September has girded its loins. Yesterday we had sun and 23.5 C (74F). Today we had sun and 24.0C (75F). Both those days were warmer than any day in the whole of August! It's last hurrah barbie season... |

From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 31 Aug 21 - 09:00 PM thanks for posting the link to APPOD, Donuel I'd forgotten about it& sent the link to as friend with 2 very inquisitive grandsons. Teacher friend, lawyer daughter, scientist grandsons????? ps. back to topic - official first day of spring & in sunny Sydney we are expecting 24 (approx 78F)- Sunny, Light winds becoming northeasterly 15 to 20 km/h in the evening then becoming light in the late evening & at 10.50am Wednesday it was 20.8 (approx 72F) this is the time of year some folk get out their thin summer gear & pretend they are not a tad cold! And others wear heavy stuff & pretend they are not a tad warm! Of course, some folk have internal temperature gauges (thyroid in my case until it was removed) that are not set at "normal". sandra (11.00am Sydney) |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 31 Aug 21 - 09:45 AM It's about to get really wet for a lot of the mid-Atlantic Mudcatters. Tropical Storm or weather event Ida is still packing some soggy clout and she's on her way. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 30 Aug 21 - 10:18 PM It is quite pleasant late winter weather. Nights are still cool - down to single figures in C degrees (we haven't done F degrees since the early 1970s and the world hasn't stopped spinning as a result) with an occasional light frost. There is usually, however, a gap between the actual temperature recorded at the official weather station - the airport, which is 10 kms outside town - and what it really feels like in other parts of town; it feels cooler, sometimes several degrees cooler. We may have a shower or two at the weekend, which would be nice. Spring flowers are starting to bloom, too. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 30 Aug 21 - 10:08 PM At sunset, I looked -- hard -- for a rainbow, because there had been a real downpour, and then the sun had come out. Too bad. Saw some lovely peachy pink clouds though. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Aug 21 - 12:10 AM The excess humidity in the air here is probably pushed ahead of Hurricane Ida, though it is hundreds of miles to the SE. Each day has topped out near 100 for the last week or so. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 27 Aug 21 - 08:14 PM In the Northern Hemisphere, there is a lot of cursing and gasping about the heat. Of course the antipodes are another story . . . |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 26 Aug 21 - 08:04 PM That hurricane/tropical storm warning early this week was much ado about not very much, after all. The humidity is still with us, though. I calculate that the bathroom ceiling exhaust fan, operated by a humidity sensor, ran for five days and nights non-stop. Only recently it returned to intermittent on and off, as it is still very humid here. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 22 Aug 21 - 12:38 PM The rain is on its way here. The shade on the window is up, and every outside surface remains dry, although the cloud cover is already in place and there are these ominous gusts of wind. When the rain starts coming down, I reckon I will pull down the window shade, as the rain will fall so loudly that one can hear it without seeing it. In the meanwhile, the exhaust fan in the bathroom grinds away all night because the switch is connected to a humidity sensor. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 22 Aug 21 - 08:23 AM What many climate scientists ignore is the likelyhood of a cascade event that will advance global warming 100 times faster than current estimates. THE REASON WHY IS OUT OF SIGHT AND OUT OF MIND. - 25% OF THE Northern hemisphere is permafrost. That permafrost is and has melted! The now rotting organic matter of carbon is being released by microbes. Permafrost is not just a thin layer, it can be deeper than 50 feet and does not refreeze even over the winter. It will not matter to our kids if this obsevation is ignored or critisized. Were not talking about great great grand children anymore, this is going to be quicker beyond anything we can do. All we can do is buy time since the carbon release will exceed all oil deposit release, forest fires, and man made control of carbon release. Sorry guys game over even if some of the percentage numbers are not spot on. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 19 Aug 21 - 10:58 AM What's it like? It's so humid that all last night, the humidity sensor in my bathroom here at the clinic kept the exhaust fan going non-stop. I could have slept through it, regardless, if I had actually been sleepy and not merely depressed. Ah well. Then you get up the next day and do it all over again. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 16 Aug 21 - 03:05 PM The east will have two weeks of rain while the west is in a drought the fires will burn and cause great pain or we'll drown without a doubt. Who will survivors choose to blame? Its ourselves it is about. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Steve Shaw Date: 14 Aug 21 - 03:42 AM Well there are still four and a half months to go, so it can't be official. What I have heard as official is that, globally, July was the hottest month ever recorded. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 13 Aug 21 - 10:27 PM Its official, 2021 is the hottest year in recorded history and beyond. Also the UN issued a strongly worded letter regarding manmade climate change. Today Donald Trump tried to play golf on his empty golf course. He felt something fall off his face and found in the sunburned grass that it was part of his ultra thick makeup that had melted in the NJ heat. After a quick glue job and color spray he resumed his golf indoors with a McDonalds takeout order. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Steve Shaw Date: 13 Aug 21 - 07:07 PM "Taking heat" is, more often than not, a function of the relative humidity. Here in Bude, when we get temperatures in the upper 20s Celsius (it rarely gets hotter than that here), the RH is routinely around 60-70% or higher, and it gets pretty unbearable at times. A good sea breeze often helps. We were in Perth in Western Australia in a temperature of 36C, but the humidity was in the teens and we were fine. We've been to Andalucía a few times in August, enduring temperatures of 40C (Córdoba is the hottest city in Europe), with humidity in single numbers or teens, and it's easy to take as long as you can keep out of the hot sun. I find bars with ample umbrellas to be the ideal resort, though the coffee is much better in Italy. The cold beer, though, is just as good. Cruz Campo is great, but Alhambra, if you can get it, is even better. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Steve Shaw Date: 12 Aug 21 - 05:41 AM I see that the European temperature record has been broken at Siracusa in Sicily, provisionally 48.8C. We spent a week there in 2016, just over the bridge in Ortigia. Siracusa town is a workaday, dusty old place, but at the top of the town there's a stunning archeological park with both Greek and Roman amphitheatres, and much else. On one day there there was a deluge of biblical proportions... |
