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: keberoxu Date: 15 Aug 21 - 07:47 PM More roller-coaster stuff here, going from one extreme to the next -- although the humidity is reliably high. |
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: keberoxu Date: 13 Aug 21 - 01:23 PM The HEAT is upon us and we can barely take it. |
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... |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 11 Aug 21 - 11:07 AM ... and here comes the heat, all right. A big heat wave with the extreme thunderstorms triggered by the heat, is the forecast for New York today, and the system will grind its way east into the New England region soon enough. Thunderstorms overnight and temperatures too hot and humid overnight for comfortable sleeping, without refrigerated air. Ladies and gentlemen, start your air conditioners. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 07 Aug 21 - 09:24 AM The last couple weeks in upstate NY and Mass it has been cold enough to need a jacket. Heat is on the way. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 07 Aug 21 - 03:26 AM A nice sunny winter day, but with a cool little breeze that didn't around......it went through. The past couple of mornings have been frosty and foggy, with more of the same tomorrow. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: pattyClink Date: 07 Aug 21 - 12:00 AM Northeast New Mexico: clear and sunny, high 90, low 70s. Hazy from the western fires, where a friend is working the Dixie fire in California Sierra Nevada, which has been burning since July 13. Was supposed to be halfway to the northern great plains by now, but a big heat dome is making Kansas as high as 102 degrees for a few more days. So, weirdly, hiding out in the southwest til the midwest cools off. And the SW is strangely humid and fairly buggy. Who knew? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: robomatic Date: 06 Aug 21 - 09:56 PM Anchorage, Alaska: We've had a pretty optimal Summer so far. Temperature currently in the low to upper 60s (=15-20 degrees C) It was closer to the higher figure a couple of days ago and felt like a heat wave. We are due for rain. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 27 Jul 21 - 08:12 AM Just looked up the Northern California wildfire, and to put it in perspective for us in the UK, it is covering an area 20% larger than the area within the M25 around London. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 26 Jul 21 - 06:19 PM My location is near some green rolling mountains and hills, and although this was a bright sunny day, those hills had mist and fog around them, and it took all day for the fog to burn away there. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Jul 21 - 10:39 AM North Texas is entering a heat advisory starting this evening and running for at least a week, with temperatures in the "triple digits." (Over 37oC for those on the other side of the pond.) On Friday I had my heat pump air conditioner repaired; it is 19 years old and the outdoors fan's sealed packed bearings were dried up (apparently it isn't something you can lubricate with a squirt o 3-in-1 oil). Good timing. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 23 Jul 21 - 08:41 AM But around here its low humidity and 65 F in the morning. word to wise; avoid chinese subways and the Artic. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Rumncoke Date: 21 Jul 21 - 03:38 PM Two weeks ago I was late for longsword practice due to flooding after heavy rain here on the south coast of England. This week it was so hot that my fingers skidded off the buttons of the melodeon - today I have two fans going and the thermometer in the bathroom has run out of numbers and gone blank. I am using a long spouted watering can and not going inside the greenhouse - those courgettes look rather dangerous so I am adding fertiliser to the water and standing well back. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: robomatic Date: 20 Jul 21 - 10:24 PM From Anchorage: Today when out and about my friends with the dog I walk told me about Siberia burning. Apparently we can smell it here and it is obstructing our views of the mountains, which were so clear only a week ago. I didn't see mention of it made on U.S. news this evening, but the Guardian has it. We had two warm days which I wrote about in the "Dogs in Cars" thread. Now we've got cooler weather and rain. That is probably washing some of the Siberian ash out of the air, but we'll see. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 20 Jul 21 - 04:54 PM Death Valley set a new high temp of 134. FOX weather 'would' report a dry 134 feels like 90. I am either very serious or making a cartoon and rarely both/ I don't blame anyone the confusion that can arise. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 17 Jul 21 - 12:55 PM Our reservoirs in the west are about 2/3 empty, some only have 14% left.The ground water is so stressed that any more pumping will result in a great subsidence. We will probably risk it. If California stopped growing almonds they would have enough water to double other crops. We have many possible solutions but money rules the day, not tommorrow's catastrophe. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 16 Jul 21 - 09:33 PM This summer marks the tipping point of the Amazon basin that now is producing more carbon via burning than it sequesters. Is it wierd that we are going to let the world burn? Yes. From my perspective on people it is normal to let it happen in this post tipping point era. If we were serious about putting a hold on climate crises we would need newly created forests the size of THREE Texas'. Machines to power tech to bury carbon would be too big and require more power than would be effective. So we are on a one way ride not because of pessimism but inaction. Instead of a war in stinking desert Sudan it would be life saving to have a world war against the Amazon arsons and Bonisaro. Thats not going to happen so the new normal will be more extremes. All the best solutions are behind us. However the next best solution is to start today. Will we? Nope, we are going to let the world burn and have wars over the quickly shrinking fresh water out west and move away from all the new flood zones. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 16 Jul 21 - 08:32 PM There is a very cold wind blowing, and it may rain. Should that happen any rain which dares to fall will probably be blown sideways, and not reach the ground. We - Himself, Bianca the geriatric white cat, and I - are staying inside today. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 16 Jul 21 - 03:11 PM This thread is now into its fiftieth page of fifty posts per page.

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 06 Jul 21 - 03:30 PM 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. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 06 Jul 21 - 12:30 AM 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. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 26 Jun 21 - 03:45 PM 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. |
