Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Hollowfox Date: 08 Aug 01 - 12:23 PM Hotter than the hinges of hell. We had one of those brief "scattered showers" the other day, and everybody felt like the steamed broccoli in a Chinese restaurant. |

From: ard mhacha Date: 07 Aug 01 - 03:53 PM Shields Folk, I spent three winters in sunny Sunderland just a couple of miles south of Shields and it was bloody perishing, but the warmest people you will ever meet. Right now in County Armagh Ireland 9pm it is a pleasant 60. Slan Ard Mhacha |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sorcha Date: 06 Aug 01 - 10:35 PM My inside thermometer with outside sensor said 118F (47C?) today. I think it was a tad off as the bank thermometer only said 111. No rain, dry as a bone, and fires everywhere. I'm spending a lot of time in the pool. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: mg Date: 06 Aug 01 - 10:14 PM haven't read the rest of the replies..but it is hot and extremely beautiful in Vancouver, WA. I am moving to Long Beach, WA in a week or two for a job with WSU. Kite capitol of at least Washington. mg |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: RangerSteve Date: 06 Aug 01 - 09:28 PM What catspaw said, only in New Jersey. And no rain. It's time for the annual drought. At least I have a deep well and really cold water. I can go lie in the tub for an hour. And to continue his gripe about the weather reporters: why do they have to deliver bad news with a smile? HOW ABOUT THOSE TORNADOES IN TEXAS, HUH? HA HA, AND BOY IS IT HOT, A HUNDRED DEGREES HERE IN NJ AND NO RAIN FOR 6 MONTHS!!!!!HA HA HA, BUT IT'S AIR CONDITIONED HERE IN THE STUDIO, SO THE HELL WITH YOU VIEWERS OUT THERE!!!! I checked the Criminal Code book at work, and apparently, weather reporters are not exempt from the laws against murder or manslaughter. Our laws need updating. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: catspaw49 Date: 06 Aug 01 - 08:37 PM It's hot......it's real friggin' hot.......and it's humid........it's real friggin' humid. The word "friggin'" here applies to only the weather 'cause it's too damn hot and humid for the other kind! I was hoping we'd make it through this summer without one of these episodes, but it's Ohio and in the midwest, this is the way of things. We have now had a 110 degree difference in temperature this year so all is about normal. I hate the weather dudes on the tube............ "There's some relief coming as the cold front moves through.".......Lemmee ask you if 5 degrees seems like relief? When the humidity is at the 80-90 level, who cares? or "We have the potential for some thunderstorms popping during the evening hours and of course this time of year severe weather including flash floods and tornados."........Yeah, great....at least the wind will be blowing. or "Thunderstorm activity will be scattered and I hope it doesn't interfere with your fun wherever you are.".........Fun? Sweating your ass off is fun? What did I miss here? What he's referring to is the State Fair now in progress. I love County Fairs and Ohio has lots along with assorted festivals. My county has there fair in October......cool weather, fall colors, a beutiful od time red roofed permanent fairgrounds...it's a postcard from another era. But the state fair???? It's August, it's hot. It's dry and dusty, but the humidity allows the dust to cake on you like a clay colored "Man-Tan." Then it pours down rain and the place turns to mud. But the sun pops out about twice as hot with the extra humidity and the mud dries quickly leaving you once again covered in dust. I haven't gone to the damn thing in 35 years and I'm still trying to get the crud off from that time! Still, I'm an Ohio boy and I've lived a lot of other places..................but home is home ain't it? Spaw |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: harpgirl Date: 03 Aug 01 - 10:21 AM ...we've started a hurricane watch here on the Gulf. 120 days left in hurricane season. TS Barry seems to be going towards Louisianna but recent forcast models indicate a northerly turn. Still too soon to tell. It's hot and sunny but the rain is due tomorrow. I'm going to Gainesville to play autoharps since I can't get away longer for Clifftop...wish I was there....harpgirl |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,guinnesschik Date: 03 Aug 01 - 08:54 AM Hot! Mostly dry. I have to water every day, and my miniture rosebush is failing. The only thing in my garden that seems to be doing well is the aloe vera. It's been in the low 100's, down to about mid 80's at night. Did I say hot? In the north Texas area, late summer takes on the smell of dried grass and hot asphalt. We try to do all of our travelling after sundown, and even the the kids have become nocturnal creatures. I'm a mom, so I never sleep, and sunrise and dusk are my favorite parts of the day this season. Anyone in a northern clime wish to summer in Texas? We'll do a time share thing..... |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST Date: 02 Aug 01 - 04:33 PM Just came in again to have a look, thanks Shields Folk for that lovely poetry the Shipping Forecast. Used to go to sleep listening and making my way down through the cold North Sea passing Shields on the way and heading south to Plymouth and round into the Irish Sea and I seldom made it to Malin, out like a light. Lovely, better than counting bloody sheep. Slan Ard Mhacha. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: John MacKenzie Date: 31 Jul 01 - 02:54 PM Here in the north of Scotland, 50 miles north of Inverness that is, the weather is rubbish. Once again it rained to-day for a short time. I don't think that we've had any more than 10 days without rain since end of May, this is without doubt the most miserable summer I can remember. I'm going over to Boston and points north from 6th September for 2 weeks, so it will probably rain there too. Excuse me Mudcatters but I'm feeling paranoid. You know what they say, "Just because nobody's getting at you; don't mean you can't feel paranoid" Jock |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Drumshanty Date: 31 Jul 01 - 09:33 AM I am sitting at work looking out on to West Parliament Square in Edinburgh. The tourists are flooding the place and most look quite happy - nice. There is a young man sitting beside St Giles Cathedral playing a clarsach - I think the tune is "Dark Island" - which lends an air of serenity to a chaotic scene. It has just clouded over after a morning of blue skies and scuddy white clouds. It is very warm but, judging by the past few days, it will rain before dark. Edinburgh seems to have missed out on the heatwave so far. Tracy |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Rowana (at work) Date: 31 Jul 01 - 09:22 AM It's glorious in southern New Jersey this last day of July. Very low humidity; early morning temperature of low 60s; expected high is 83; sunny; light breeze. Had fresh Jersey blueberries for breakfast and will have a fresh Jersey peach for lunch. Life is good! |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,53, Glenda Date: 31 Jul 01 - 09:12 AM Half an Hour from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA: beautiful day today, blue sky, not as humid as usual - only 90% today. 70 degrees this morning but warming up to low 90s later. We've been having some rain everyday lately, but that is better than drought. Enjoying farm produce like okra, watermelons, cantaloupes, beans, etc. from the local farmers market. Glenda |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: sledge Date: 31 Jul 01 - 08:12 AM Well since I got back to work out here in North Africa, its been hot, damned hot. Today though its exceeded that and is now chuffing hot. Difficult to say what the temp is cos the thermometer burst a while back. Its often windy as well, the winding is also chuffing hot and contains half a ton of sand in each gust, this mean that we never have to buy overpriced cleansing products that promise to remove dead skin and so on, we just go outside for 5 minutes with t shirt off. Oh yes, no clouds, just perfect blue. Sledge (done this side flip me over) |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sorcha Date: 31 Jul 01 - 12:23 AM HOT!! (100F/38+?C) Tonight, severe thunderstorms and rain with lightning, and still hot. At least the rain will help with the fires. I too, prefer "too hot" to "too cold." I seem to always be able to cool off, but never get warm, esp at temps below 0 F/-32 C. Shudddddddeeeerrr. Please cover my feet. Why is it that cold looks colder in Centigrade, and hot looks hotter in Farenheit? Shouldn't there be a "real relative" scale, (grin)? |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 31 Jul 01 - 12:19 AM STILL HOT! |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Melani Date: 31 Jul 01 - 12:14 AM San Francisco Bay Area--low clouds and fog in the morning, clearing to near the coast by midday, highs in the 60's near the coast to the 90's in the warmest inland areas, lows tonight in the 50's...the other day the radio announcer said, "And the weather today--oh, you already know it." We are remarkably consistent. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 30 Jul 01 - 11:12 PM I like it hot. Some don't. But I do like the nights to be cool.... Every window it is safe to open at night, is open creating enough draught to make the door bang, but not enough to cool me down. Which is why I'm posting here at 4.15am GMT. Just off for a semi naked wander in the garden I think..... LTS |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Gypsy Date: 30 Jul 01 - 10:39 PM Well, we are at the height of summer. Which means: fog with delusions of granduer (trying to be wet) to grey. When tourists ask when the fog will burn off, i look at my watch and reply: October! :) |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Jul 01 - 11:50 PM It isn't. The weather here has gone on strike, because it's sick of everyone talking about it. We have no weather anymore. It's a real problem. People don't know what to say to each other, and they are getting really crabby and tense. Things are going downhill around here fast, so I think I will just stay indoors for awhile... - LH |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 19 Jul 01 - 12:52 PM Well, just as I posted above. New moon tomorrow and the next three days are forecast to be in the high twenties C. I expect the next few weeks will be low to mid 30's, but hopefully that won't go on too much after the next full moon. All depends on the cloud cover. Could be two weeks or six weeks of hot weather. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: pattyClink Date: 19 Jul 01 - 12:37 PM Okay, so it's hot as blue blazes! It's bright and humid and sweaty and the UV index is at 'warning' level. I am going to leave a frozen bottle of water in my car while I go walking at lunch, knowing it will be liquid before the first lap is over. It's Hot. But the tomatoes and peaches are trying to apologize. And we'll bring the subject up again again in February, you girls and boys of the North Counteree! |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Lin in Kansas Date: 19 Jul 01 - 12:00 AM Just starting to cool off a bit (down to about 90 and its 11PM here) in middle Kansas from 105 degrees this afternoon. Humidity also high. Can't even hope for rain very hard because you get severe thunderstorm warnings and possible tornados with it. I'd rather have snow up to my butt anytime than this kind of heat. Come on, December. Lin (kvetch, kvetch, kvetch...) |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Gervase Date: 18 Jul 01 - 07:22 PM The weather? More like bloody climate. And so very English - pissing down and pissing off the cat, who doesn't appreciate rain. He's starting to take it out on the furniture and my feet. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: DancingMom Date: 18 Jul 01 - 07:13 PM Raining kitties and puppies at the moment, but we were getting desperate for rain in VA. Muggy, humid. It's supposed to COOL OFF when it rains! But I picked the first tomato off my vines today. It's a beaut. Doing lots of herbs this year, and I have pink and blue morning glories running up and down my fence, and burgundy hollyhocks. And it's all starting to come back year after year. AND my teenager enjoys weeding! Cool, huh? Sharon |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 18 Jul 01 - 02:11 AM Sydney, Oz - just glorious. About 18 degrees Celsius and it's mid winter; almost sunbaking weather. Cheers JennieG |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Jim Cheydi Date: 17 Jul 01 - 11:54 AM There are many scientific terms, but I think 'crap' sums it up nicely. |
