The monsoon is in full swing here in SWFL. It's raining so hard right now that the gutters can't keep up with the down pour. I had to walk through a waterfall to get in my building and the parts of me outside of my rain jacket are soaked.

keberoxu, We're having the same thing here in Ohio, USA. It's 12:24 in the afternoon and it's only 66 degrees F, I believe that's 19 C. That's nearly 20 degrees below normal. It's quite blustery as well.

the nights are downright chilly, most unusual.

This rain will benefit the farmers hereabouts,
who have been lamenting the lack of rain for their crops.

Sandra, your 12.7°C is a very damp 12.7°C, and I bet you feel it in your bones. I spent a few winters in Nova Scotia, and I remember the misery. Halifax in November was downright purgatorial.

here on the eastern side of the land of Oz we're going thru a cold snap! Thermometers show low temperatures, but the "feels like" factor means it's colder!

I live in a wind tunnel street where winds rush up the hill, past the 2 skyscrapers at the start of my street & howl along. Our front door does not always close! Sometimes pulling it shut is a fierce battle between me & the wind, but I make sure I win.

2 days ago I went out around 4pm into the wind, wearing my thick down jacket normally only worm when I head south to festivals in winter, underneath I was wearing 2 (Sydney) thermal wool skivvies & my thick Scottish-made jumper, the temperature was 12.7C feels like 4.7 (54F feels like 40F)

Those who live in snowy climates might think that's summer, but here in the Harbour City it's cold! I live a 10 min stroll from the Harbour, but can't see it.

Hot and steamy in Perth County, Ontario, with thunderstorms in the forecast for tomorrow or the day after.

That's no surprise, however. In these parts, hardly a week goes by without a couple of storm cells blowing east from the lakes.

Well, we still have the month of August ahead of us, which usually means
hot muggy weather.
At the moment, though, the weather is mild for the summer,
not too hot and the humidity is tolerable, it's pleasant outside.
Probably too good to last, though.
There are to be thunderstorms coming mid-week.

Normally it's sweltering in mid-July around here. (Ohio, USA) But this summer it's more likely to be 70s at high noon dropping to high 50s at night, great sleeping weather. These temps or more like September than July, but quite pleasant.

Well, it's freakin' cold. Today's temperature only just scraped into double figures - that's Celsius double figures - and the 'feels like' barely made it to four degrees.

More of the same tomorrow.

Ah well, it is winter after all, and the third week of July is historically the coldest week of the whole year in Oz.

The remnants of Hurricane Beryl missed my area, but
they scooted to the north, to Vermont,

(think, inches of mud filling homes).

Anyone else affected by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Beryl?

Didn't cool things down, though,

I just posted this on Facebook... I take the current close-to-100F weather with these memories in mind.

In July of 1954, my mother & I got on a train in 111F in Wichita, KS to go visit her brother in San Diego. We spent a nice week or so in balmy 78F, then went home and got off to 109F... ooof! I have delivered newspapers in 102+.
The record in Wichita was 113 that year.

About 200 Km north of Charmion's rural town, we in Ottawa have a forecast of 31°C. People who put store in "Humidex" calculations say it will feel like 41°C in the early afternoon. Chalk it up to the urban heat island effect.

cold! Sydney CBD temperature at 1.30am Monday morning & I'm close to Sydney CBD & the official temperature is 9.2C (= 48F) feels like 2.7 (= 36F)

I don't have a heater (I put on more clothes!) & keep my windows locked open 6" (I like fresh air) & well covered but am still cold.

thermal leggings, & thick track pants, long sleeve thermal t-shirt & long sleeved cotton t-shirt, fleece waistcoat, & this New Zealand merino & possum cardigan (very cosy) with a thick pure wool cardigan my mum knitted in 1988 above that! I also have a jacket draped over my legs.

I'm sure if I had a heater blazing away I could be swanning about in thin summer gear like a friend I remember from years back! Anyway, my electricity bill was much lower then hers then ... & still is below the average 1-person household.

A cool spell is underway, won't last long.
OF course the heat is turned off now.
At night my bedroom goes down to 63 degrees F., which for me is cool.
I slept last night with my clothes on under the covers with an extra blanket.

Soon it will be warm again,
and the refrigerated air will be welcome, but not right now.

Three states near me, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Iowa, suffered the worst tornado outbreak in history last Friday, one week ago. 63 tornadoes occurred, although all of those I have heard of have been rather small - EF 3's. One 4, I believe. Not that an EF3 isn't dangerous.

Most of the damage occurred to small towns with working-class houses which were simply smashed to smithereens. Pick-up trucks were tossed about. I believe there were no deaths, wonderfully enough.

Where I live there were thunderstorms and one tornado watch, but most of Missouri was spared. We had a simply beautiful day today, and the DH and I went out when the sun had weakened (5 pm) and planted tomatoes and herbs.
