How's The Weather?

[TexJR]

It's sunshining now!

[Weisinheimer]

really rainy and kinda cold

[pussnboots]

its been raining all day

[Sir Bartholomew]

yep, here here! even though i'm on other side of the planet.

[sprinks]

The weather is VERY COLD. :cold:

I suppose wearing shorts isn't helping though :p

[dramasnot6]

:lol: I live where you live,Sprinks. Weather wasn't that bad today,yesterday was a lot colder!

[sprinks]

:lol: I think it's just that I'm so used to wearing like a long skirt, stockings, a shirt, a blazer and jumper and its all a lot of material, and today I'm wearing shorts and a top :p... And the wind is cold. Freezing. The weather itself wasn't bad though, the sky was really clear apart from a few small random clouds!!

[Sir Bartholomew]

tropical storm yesterday. rainy season begins. need to buy me a new umbrella.

[vheissu]

SUNNY!! Finally a bit of warmth and white clouds.

[Pyrrho]

Very rainy. Nice reading weather though.

[sprinks]

The weather today has been quite nice. There was still a slight chill in the air, but the sky was clear and when sitting under the sun it was quite warm :)

[Amundsen]

rainy - good very good

[Virgil]

Looks beuatiful out. I love the spring.

[sofia82]

It is wonderful! It is raining now. There is thunder and lightning, and dark gray clouds and at the same time the sun is shinning. It is a real spring day :D

[Gracewings]

Awfully hot, 100° at the moment.

[grace86]

Not as hot as yesterday. Yesterday I melted as I walked from the parking lot to class. Today seems a lot cooler but still warm!

[amanda_isabel]

pretty cold.. storm just passed, and we;ve got another low-pressure area nearby, so that might not be too good... we;re supposed to have an unusually long list of storms this year. *sigh*

imagine the effect on that on our (already declared to have a shortage) supplies, livestock, harvest, etc.?

(sorry, poltical/socio-economic issue. not good.)

[Pensive]

(sorry, poltical/socio-economic issue. not good.)

Where are you from, Amanda?

[amanda_isabel]

hey there Pen..

I'm from the Philippines, and, lately there has been a lot of those politcal/socio-economic issues... tsk,tsk. deterioration of the social fabric.

[Pensive]

Yeah, have heard of them a little bit. Sorry about that...hope things get better for you guys as well as the world as a whole too.

*edit to add*

Hmmm...as for the weather it's very hot.

[amanda_isabel]

thanks Pen :)

hope you're not too hot there, Pen. (afterthought: hot, at 2 am? strange.)

[Pensive]

Thanks, not hot at the moment though as it's night out here. Well, I meant it as the weather maintained throughout the day, rather yesterday. :)

[amanda_isabel]

i see...

sun's out on my edge of the world!

[Remarkable]

Soo sunny and soo hot...

[amanda_isabel]

not so cold, but still pretty chilly.

[Madhuri]

The weather has been much better for the past few days; it rained and it is cloudy; much respite from the hot weather.

[dramasnot6]

Very windy. I had to come back to my dorm and change out of my skirt into some jeans, all the girls in skirts are walking around campus with their hands plastered to the sides of their hips :lol:

[sprinks]

Rain rain rain... Storm storm storm... okay no storm yet but there should be soon.

[sprinks]

It's raining again!!
:D:D:D:D
Yay!! Rain!! :)

[sprinks]

It's not raining anymore :(

[jgweed]

At last, a morning with bright Midwest sunshine!

[LadyWentworth]

Actually, it was quite chilly today. I don't care what the thermometer said. I don't care if everyone else felt warm. I was cold! That is unusual for me! It is supposed to be quite warm by the weekend, though. Just in time for the Chocolate Festival! :D

[sprinks]

It was storming today... Of course...

But there was heaps of pretty rainbows!! :)

[vheissu]

Cloudy. but then again, this is London....

[Scheherazade]

but then again, this is London....Amen.

[khall12807]

Here in Wisconsin, it's sunny out, but still chilly. Darn that deceitful sun!

[kasie]

Cloudy. but then again, this is London....

It's Spring Bank Holiday weekend - so of course it is cold, cloudy and threatening rain. What else should we expect?

[vheissu]

It's Spring Bank Holiday weekend - so of course it is cold, cloudy and threatening rain. What else should we expect?

But of course!! Its just so ironic that I decide to spend a few days down in London, in the middle of a Bank Holiday (I always end up here at Bank Holidays!) and some fine cloudy weather.

Should have stayed in Edinburgh...

[PeterL]

It was snowing earlier, but that let up. Now the temperature is about 20 below zero with a twenty mile an hour breeze.

[Weisinheimer]

gorgeous. 68 degrees F and sunny. :)

[dramasnot6]

Windy and rainy

[cipherdecoy]

Hot, humid and ****ty as usual.

[kasie]

But of course!! Its just so ironic that I decide to spend a few days down in London, in the middle of a Bank Holiday (I always end up here at Bank Holidays!) and some fine cloudy weather.

Should have stayed in Edinburgh...


At least you can justify spending all day in a museum or gallery, vheissu......:D

[kasie]

Lashing down with rain driven by a cutting north-easterly wind - if I were vheissu, I'd definitely be ensconced in the British Museum/National Gallery/V&A/Science Museum/Natural History Museum by now!

[dramasnot6]

Rain,glorious rain...

[Virgil]

Beautiful spring day. :)

[Idril]

Cold and cloudy. We've needed rain so badly so I really hate to complain but it's been like this, cloudy, cool with intermittent rain for days now and I'm ready for it to change. It's only 40 degrees right now and I'm seriously thinking about cranking up the heat!

[pussnboots]

another beautiful day. should reach 80 degrees. Goin to bbq for the first time this year.

[Idril]

I don't agree with you there. The idea of global warming isn't just about warmer temps, it's about extremes, unusual weather patterns. It may seem contradictory, but colder temps can be indicative of the broader concept of "global warming".

[cipherdecoy]

Very cloudy.

[Weisinheimer]

hot and humid

[vheissu]

London was gloomy and rainy and windy. Back in Edinburgh now and its cloudy and a bit chilly. The joys.

[LadyWentworth]

It was really cold here today (well, I guess I should say yesterday - it is now 1:40 in the morning here :) ). The wind was just so incredibly chilly! I even wore the "lighter" of my two winter coats. I easily could've worn the other one, but I didn't want people to look at me as though I were crazy! :p

[sprinks]

Rain!! Rain!!! And some more rain!! But no storm yet. Well, people thought there was, but the "lightning" they saw was my friends flash on her camera!! :lol:.

Oh look.... More rain!! :D

[Shalot]

rain thunderstorms

[Shalot]

I just can't agree with that. I do believe in polar ice cap warming, but when politicians found out that temperatures, overall, were going down, not up, rather than admit their mistake, they "invented" this idea of "climate change" as being synonymous with "global warming." It's not. Global warming means global warming and temperatures are going down, for the most part, not up. People who said "global warming" was taking place should just be honest men and admit they were wrong.

Virgil has a post somewhere about this, saying almost the same thing. In essence, it said he believes global warming was a myth as well.

No one will convince me of it until we get our 100 F. Mays back again, and so far, the upper 80s is all we've managed this May. If they'd just admit their mistake and call it "climate change" I could accept that. Autumn here is now like summer, while spring is more like winter. But overall, the temperatures are basically the same. No extremes, just flip-flopped. The winter here was actually pretty mild, but I'm moving where there's no cold temperatures - ever. Well, not until that climate changes, too, but I'll probably die before then as it happens so slowly.

I was always told just the opposite - global warming is real, and people with a business interest don't want to acknowledge it because it cuts into their profits...

But, where I live, it is consistently hotter than it has been in years. We haven't had snow accumulation in four years. It snowed in 2004 and that snow was the first in several years as well. For the past three years, I rarely pulled out my winter coat because it wasn't cold for enough it, whereas in the past (growing up), I have always needed my coat. Now, we have 60 degree weather in December. You can't just say that you think global warming is a myth because you went outside and you perceive the temperature to be much colder than it used to be or that weather termperatures have been recorded as much colder than in the past.

I know that Virgil does not agree with the idea of global warming (anyone who reads this board knows that) and while he is very opinionated and active on this board and I have respect for him as a person, he has not convinced me in the least that global warming is in fact a myth. The scientific community (as reported in the media) seems to think otherwise.
Me personally, I am still watching and waiting. But I am not jumping on the Virgil bandwagon. Sorry, Virgil. :)

[Shalot]

I say global warming is a myth because our temperatures consistently run fifteen to twenty degrees cooler than normal. It's not a perception on my part, but a fact that wouldn't change no matter how I perceived it. Normally, we have 90 F. by Memorial Day and this year people were wearing coats and it was in the high 60s. That's fact, not my perception. I wear a winter jacket inside the house, while my brother never wears a jacket, even at Christmas. Now that's perception, but fifteen to twenty degrees below normal is fact.

You didn't read the rest of my sentence. I didn't say that you, Antiquarian were simply basing your statements on your perceptions. I allowed for the fact that you probably had actual records to back up your statement.



But people believe what they believe based on many different things and who knows who is right? I don't know and I don't think anyone here really knows.

The first sentence you wrote in your post indicates that you're pretty sure global warming is a myth, so why did you say that you don't know above? If you don't really know, why bring it up?


I didn't jump on his bandwagon, I came in already a part of it and an exceptionally strong believer. I've never believed in "global warming." The whole world's too cool for global warming to exist.

I didn't accuse you of jumping on Virgil's bandwagon. I just think it's interesting that you bring up global warming and refer back to Virgil's posts about it. He does have a technical background, and seems to have read a lot about it, and provides links to sources that back up his assertions. In fact, he is very opinionated on the issue, and must be thrilled to have a fellow skeptic on the boards. I responded to another post about global warming and I pretty much said that I had no scientific background and wanted to read a convincing argument one way or the other, and he put together a well-written post on the subject.

Above, you say you never believed in global warming and you think the world is too cool for global warming to exist, but also you say you don't know and that no one really knows. So, you don't really know, but you're convinced enough to post again and again on the subject. But you could be dead wrong, but then I guess you wouldn't really be wrong, since you don't really know.


Once the scientific community discovered that global temperatures were much cooler than normal, they changed "global warming" to "climate change" rather than admit a mistake.

Where did you read that? I was not aware that the term "global warming" had been officially replaced by "climate change." Do you have a specific article that you could link here? I am not trying to be a smartarse, I am just asking because this issue is in the news everyday. There always seems to be some global warming summit going somewhere in the world. Leaders of other countries get together to discuss what needs to be done about climate change or global warming. They're concerned enough to have meetings about it so if you're going to say that it doesn't exist (LOL) show me your source.


In the end, it doesn't really matter and only time will tell. But personally, I'd bet all the money I have that global warming doesn't exist and never has existed.

So, you'd bet all the money you have that global warming doesn't exist, but you don't really know? My money is more important to me than that. I am not betting on any of it.

[Shalot]

I didn't see any links at all to scientific proof/sources of global warming in your post so I didn't think it necessary to document mine. I just saw you said you didn't feel you needed a winter coat, which is a very subjective thing. I thought it was just a casual discussion in a casual thread. My mistake in assuming. Totally my mistake in assuming. Unless it's literature or something very important to me or the post of someone I know, I just skim posts due to a lack of time.

Opinions differ on every subject and always will. It's no big deal to me that they do and I certainly don't want to/won't argue over it. Sure, I'm very opinionated about global warming being a total myth as big as Bigfoot, but this isn't the place to debate it.

If someone wants to start a thread on the topic in General Conversation, I might consider contributing if I have time. I've done a lot of research and reading on the topic, and have a lot of records to back up what I, personally, believe, but as I said, my mistake in assuming it was a casual topic since you provided no scientific documentation on your part. But I'll only discuss the topic if a thread is started. I won't discuss me or any other person. I'm not under discussion.

I said I don't know for sure because I don't always believe everything I read. There was a time when I actually did believe in global warming, but the scientific community proved it wrong. So much that was "proven" right is later "proven" wrong, so while I can refer to scientific data, I personally am hesitant to say "I, myself, know." I know what I think based on data, but I think, in the long term, only God or whatever one chooses to call a higher power "knows." For example, my grandmother was "advised" by her doctor to take HRT as it was "known" to protect women against heart disease. However, recently, the medical community advised women not to take HRT as it increases the chance for heart problems and provides no protection at all beyond the first year. So, what the medical community once "knew" they proved they did not know. So, I'm very hesitant to say "I know." I'm wary of those words. I believe, and I believe based on facts, but knowing? No.

No, my money's not that important to me. I spend it and more comes in. I admit to having a very nonchalant attitude towards it, but it is my money. That's all I have to say about that and I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't mention my money any more. Thank you.

Getting back to the thread topic the weather here today was beautiful. A little cool for me, but still, warm and sunny with not a single cloud in the sky. I spent the afternoon at a lake reading and it was wonderful. Tomorrow is supposed to be even better, if possible. I hope it stays this way but warms up twenty to twenty-five degrees. At least. Then it will be even better.


There is no need for you to get offended. I don't have any links to any documentation because I'm not asserting that this is true or false. Nor am I saying that I believe in global warming so I don't need to provide you any documentation. My point is that this topic is in the media a lot and world leaders are gathering together to discuss ways to deal with global warming, so when someone gets on the internet and says that they think global warming is a myth, I'd simply like to know why. That's all. And, you're the one that brought your money up to begin with. If you're going to put it out there, then I can respond to it. There is no need to give me attitude for responding to something that you brought up.

[browneyedbailey]

here the weather is wonderfull.

[Shalot]

I'm not in the slightest bit offended. Never was. LOL I do not offend easily and certainly not on the subject of the weather. It would take quite a bit more on a much, much more important topic to ever offend me.

However, I think it's offensive and disrespectful to other posters and I'd just like to forget it and stick to the topic here.

Again, back to the thread topic - It is way too cool for me this evening. If the doors and windows have to be closed, it's too cool for me. I really should move before winter. I no doubt will.

Staying on Topic, the weather here is quite rainy and muggy. But just so we're clear on how this got started:


Just like I keep saying, global warming is just a myth.

I don't think we're offending other posters - just keepin it lively. God knows LitNet is a drag lately.

[Virgil]

I was just coming in here to say what a lovly spring evening it was here, and whoa, I see my name. :lol: :lol: It's good to see some other skeptics around.

Oh that is absolutely true Shalot. The last ten years have actually been cooling, not warming, according to the climatologist that have been claiming global warming. And that's with all of India and China on this exponential growth and industrialization. It doesn't even make sense. India and China have been producing big time greehouse gases and yet we've gone into a cooling trend of ten years?

I'll have to find some sources. I've been meaning to pull a blog entry on this subject. I'll do it shortly.

Shalot, let me just pose this question: How do they measure the temperature of the earth and average it over the course of a year? And how do they know what the temperature was a hundred years ago across the whole earth and averaged for the year?

Well, I discovered the answer. They computer model it. Well, we model lots of things in engineering, especially stresses on parts so we can tell when they'll break. But it's gross estimate. The climotologists are modeling and striving to capture one degree temperature change over the course of a hundred years. Modeling isn't that accurate. You don't have all the conditions modeled in because you aren't always aware of all the inputs. For instance, sun spots can temperature irregularites. Do they model the sun spots? I doubt it. One degree in a hundred years is within the margin of error.

Finally how many times have you seen scientists in the news claim that coffee is bad for you and then claim coffee is good for you and then claim coffee is bad for you. There is nothing sacred about scientists making claims only to be proven wrong. Climatologists in the 1970s were predicting we were headed for an ice age.

[Shalot]

India and China have been producing big time greehouse gases and yet we've gone into a cooling trend of ten years?

Okay, the last 10 years have been cooling, not warming (except here, we're actually warmer, but the running joke here is that it's East Tennessee - we can have some wild temperature shifts and that's the norm here for whatever reason. But, and this has been documented, our winters are milder, our springs are earlier, it's overall warmer. Here). I wasn't asking about temperature change though. I was asking about the shift from the term "global warming" to "climate change" specifically. When did that become the new term? Just curious. I put global warming 2008 into Google, and one of the first hits I got was a web page and when you opened it up, it said (instead of global warming) Climate Change. When I left off the 2008 (this was last night) I got web pages that used the term "global warming." So, what's the deal with that?

I know, I know. Everytime you turn around there is a new health data available. In the 90's, fats were bad. Eat low fat diets. Now, we have good fats and bad fats. Eggs raise your cholesterol. Don't eat eggs. Oh, but wait, eggs have protein. Eat eggs. But, then someone else comes along with another article, and qualifies those statements, and we all know now that too much fat is bad (so, yes in the 90's when fats were bad, that was technically true, but they didn't mention that those low fat foods were full of sugar and sodium) and now we know that it's those trans fats so use olive oil instead (but remember, it's still FAT). I could go on and on.

I am sure someone who is more educated about global warming, climate change, could argue the same way. I am just not able to do so because I don't know.

Global warming, climate change is constantly in the media and businesses are now marketing green products (don't leave a carbon footprint!!!) Are those products BS?

I have to go to work now which sucks, because I'd love to sit here and ramble about this. But, alas, there's that bothersome money issue.

Have a good day Antiquarian and Virgil, you global warming haters!!

[LadyWentworth]

Today's weather:
Hot
Humid
Torrential rainfall
Flooding
Tornado


All the perks of summer in one day. :rolleyes:

[pussnboots]

its starting to thunder and lightening here @10:00 pm in the east

[LadyWentworth]

its starting to thunder and lightening here @10:00 pm in the east

I hope that you have a better time with it tonight than we have today. It is so bad here that cars were floating down the street!

[Gaiam]

I drove through an unbelievable storm this evening - there were reports in the city where cars were FLOATING in intersections. The flooding everywhere was insane.
It was scary, but now I'm home, where it's about 75 and humid, but calm.

[dramasnot6]

Rather cold

[djy78usa]

Today was the hottest day of the year so far, I think we hit 95. I say, "bring it on." After spending three years in northern Europe, I'm ready for some heat

[dramasnot6]

It's pouring koalas and sheep-dogs!
Very heavy rain all day today. A little cold, but a good excuse to stay in my room in my pj's :)

[pussnboots]

it's going to hit 100 degrees here in NY today. I think I'll fill the doggie pool so my dog can take a dip! As for me I'll stay inside where its nice and cool

[muhsin]

Sunny here...

[ClaesGefvenberg]

I'm halfway through a vacation trip to Karpathos, Greece:

31°C / 87°F, scorching sun, and not a cloud in sight :) I have spent the day snorkeling, and generally goofing off in the warm water. No earthquakes yet today, but two yesterday, and another two the day before that: Nothing heavy, though, and no damages to anything. The biggest one was 5.3 on the Richter scale, with the epicenter some 10 km away from us, but deep down below the surface.

Now for more ouzo, wine, good food and swimming.

/Claes

[novlist*star*]

too hot..

[LadyWentworth]

A lot more pleasant than it has been these past few days. It is sunny and in the 70's. I am not fond of weather when it hits the upper 70's, but at least the humidity isn't as high. It isn't low, but you can definitely feel the difference from yesterday. After all, it is much easier to breathe!! :)

[Nyu001]

So hot -_-

[belatrixx]

not as hot as hell... really

[Gaiam]

The humidity has broken and it's actually in the high 60's this morning. Nice!

[Tersely]

In Georgia (US). HOT. But surprisingly cloudy..

[vheissu]

London: unbelievably sunny! Wish it could stay like this for a few months!

[sprinks]

Typically Australian.

HOT, slight breeze, clear blue sky - all day... now its raining and its COLD now that it's night.

:confused:

[Themis]

There's sun! There is actually sun in Galway. I'm so very happy.

[bree]

It has been really nice today but, tonight heavy rain.

[dramasnot6]

Typically Australian.

HOT, slight breeze, clear blue sky - all day... now its raining and its COLD now that it's night.

:confused:

Hot? Really? wow....things must have changed since I left!

Today it wasn't disgustingly hot,for which I am relieved.

[LadyWentworth]

Very, very cool outside here. In fact, I am sitting in the house with a sweater on and I am quite comfortable! :) It feels like autumn outside. I guess it will be getting very hot again in a few days. :sick: We are just having a crazy weather pattern going on right now.

[Pensive]

Pretty bad. Too hot.

[TurquoiseSunset]

Well, it's winter here, so it's rainy and cold...but to be honest anything under 15 degrees Celsius is considered arctic weather here :)

[dramasnot6]

Very nice. Still humid,but relatively cool.

[Niamh]

We had one hell of a rain storm last night. It poured heavily for ten hours. Now the sun is splitting the trees! :eek: very odd weather!

[Remarkable]

Cloudy and a bit rainy.I was said to be lucky that while my stay in Paris it was generally sunny.

[sprinks]

Hot? Really? wow....things must have changed since I left!


Yeah, it has a little bit :p. The weather is all over the place.... And it's getting really hot most days.... Although there was a cold wind today!! But even still, it was really hot under the sun.

[dramasnot6]

Yeah, it has a little bit :p. The weather is all over the place.... And it's getting really hot most days.... Although there was a cold wind today!! But even still, it was really hot under the sun.

Aww,too bad I missed it! I actually liked Perth's 'cold wind' days. :alien: :)
Today has been raining on and off, but I managed to take a lovely walk this morning. The air feels so clean and fresh after is has rained.

[TurquoiseSunset]

The air feels so clean and fresh after is has rained.

At the moment I feel relieved that the rain has stopped here... I was beginning to think that building an ark would be a good idea :)

[vheissu]

Never ending rain. How dull.

[kasie]

Cold, windy, heavy showers - same as yesterday and I had washing to hang out to dry and plants to put in the garden, the soil is too claggy to dig. Thwarted, that's what I've been this week-end, thwarted.

[LadyWentworth]

Just miserable. It is so muggy outside. :sick:

[Nightshade]

Dont know havent looked yet-- alright looks like we are in for another scorching humid day

[Kafka's Crow]

Very, very windy with occasional showers and downpours. Hope this changes soon. Lovely summer in England as usual!

[LadyWentworth]

Humid, humid and humid!!!! :sick: :(

[Tersely]

Humid, humid and humid!!!! :sick: :(

You must be my next door neighbor :(

[PeterL]

It's about the same as usual. The temperature is within the range that humans can survive in; the humidity is somewhere between 30 and 90 %. It's just an ordinary day.

[dpike13]

Today in Australia it is hidious, Winter and we are having the coldest days in 40 or something years. Ridiculous its like 18 degrees celcius outside......

[sprinks]

Today in Australia it is hidious, Winter and we are having the coldest days in 40 or something years. Ridiculous its like 18 degrees celcius outside......

Ha I knew it! I read your introduction post and knew straight away that you were an Aussie :D. Where I am (which could be very near or very far from you) the sun has been really warm, but the wind is FREEZING. And the nights are getting really cold, ranging about 4 degrees celcius. Seeing as it is about 10pm, I would think that it is getting cold now. But I'm inside and the window is shut so who knows? :p

[dramasnot6]

Torturous heat!

[Niamh]

Its lovely! :)

[Bakiryu]

It's ashen and quiet, just like any other day before the rain.

[sprinks]

Is that rain I hear?

I think it is.

[TurquoiseSunset]

It's snowing here...well, on the surrounding mountains, but it might as well be snowing over my cubicle at the moment. My hands are freeeezing!

[Madhuri]

Snow?? at this time of the year?? :eek2:

Its pleasant these days... Monsoon season :)

[Niamh]

Its raining. Nuff said.

[TurquoiseSunset]

Snow?? at this time of the year?? :eek2:

Yip, it's winter here :)

But luckily the sun is shining today! Yay! It will probably only last for today so I'm going to enjoy it :D

[Niamh]

rain, sunshine, rain... nuff said

[pussnboots]

finally a day where it isn't that humid

[sprinks]

RAIN RAIN RAIN
WIND WIND WIND
STORM STORM STORM!!!

First proper Aussie storm where I am in a LONG while!! :D

[Niamh]

Its overcast. Looks like there is a battle going on between sunshine and rain. Who will win? not sure. As much as i really want the sun to shine, my bet is on rain.

[pussnboots]

another beautiful sunny day

[vheissu]

sunny and very hot!

[LadyWentworth]

Supposedly it was very warm here and very humid. I didn't feel either one of those things today. I thought it was quite comfortable, and even chilly sometimes, throughout the day. :)

[sprinks]

Well... cloudy...

I still want a BIG storm!

[dramasnot6]

Extremely hot all morning and afternoon. Now we are experiencing the rainy beginnings of a storm.

[Shalot]

The day was sunny and hot and we had an air advisory warning!!! Loved it. The sky was whitish grey. Not cool.

[sprinks]

Was constant storms yesterday and kind of the day before... But sky is clearing now. Still a chill in the air. It'll be raining again during the week.

[Niamh]

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet,
Make you wanna move your dancing feet

[pussnboots]

hot, hot, hot!!!!

[thelastmelon]

It's going to be warm today! Hello garden, and hello book! :D

[Niamh]

humm...maybe sleep is in order....

[Scheherazade]

humm...maybe sleep is in order....Wrong thread maybe?

:D

[Niamh]

Yep! :lol: why do these things keep happening to me this week! I swear to god, my brain has gone to sleep and my eyes dont know what they are seeing.
okay weather was nice today.... bit overcast at times but over all quite warm. Great day for the Dubs to win in Croker!

[mickitaz]

ugh.. we are in the middle of a heat wave.. 95 degrees most of the weekend. I was hoping to do some fishing. But unless I would have gotten up at 4am (not very likely) there is no way I would have tolerated the heat.

On a brighter note... strong thunderstorms are headed in my direction with in the next 30 min or so. I will be house sitting for my brother in law this week and he has a lovely backyard. Perhaps I will be able to enjoy some outdoor reading.

[LadyWentworth]

Warmer than they said it was going to be. As usual!

[Niamh]

Sun is shining!

[LadyWentworth]

It is quite warm outside. But there is a breeze that is just the right temperature that is keeping it from getting too hot. It is very pleasant today because of that.

[Shalot]

It looks like a gorgeous day. I want to go do something outside today.

[Virgil]

Thunder storms all day. It came down heavy. Looks like it's stopped now.

[mickitaz]

Some very awesome, powerful thunderstorms today. One very early this morning, then another decent one about 1pm. Since I am a weather nut, these things excite me.

[LadyWentworth]

You can really feel that the humidity has kicked up tonight. Thus begins the start of miserable weather. :sick:

[vheissu]

Windy!!!!


Don't like it.

[lugdunum]

Sun, 36º (97º F), no wind.......Perfect day to go to the beach....

That is if you're not stuck in an office.... *sigh*

[Weisinheimer]

I haven't been outside yet today, but the internet tells me it's 84º F, cloudy, chance of rain, with slight wind from the NE.

[Immortall708]

A wonderful sunny weather with small white clouds on the sky. I love these days.
When we can sit in front of house in the garden.And drinking some good freshy drinks and to eat there.:)

[pussnboots]

sunny day so off to the boardwalk

[kasie]

Rain! Well, of course, it would be, wouldn't it. My window cleaner showed up for the first time since March - didn't even wait until he had finished before it started - might have given me some time to admire his handiwork before drenching them again.

[Joreads]

really windy here at least it is not raining as well

[sprinks]

It's been really cold and storming heaps the past few days, but today it was just cold. The wind wasn't as bad as it has been lately.

[kilted exile]

The sun has got his hat on. hip-hip-hip-hooray, the sun has got his hat on and he's coming out to play

[blazeofglory]

The weather in my part of the world is really intoxicating. It befuddles me. It gets me something what you feel when drunk. I am empty of words, running short in English. In Nepali and Hindi it is Nasalu and I can not find an exact word in English, the language I never feel comfortable with in fact.

[Equality72521]

I'M GOING TO BE GETTING A TROPICAL STORM SOON!!!


(as far as I know, unless the winds have changed and it's no longer headed towards Deer Park, Texas....)

[LadyWentworth]

Hot, humid and occasionally rainy. It didn't rain constantly all day long, but when it rained, it definitely poured!

[sprinks]

Really really nice! :) It was all summery... despite being the last month of winter still.

[Equality72521]

THE TROPICAL STORM IS COMING IN!!! I'm battening down the hatches fixing to put my phone, cell phone, and books in water proof....stuff....haha. Not really, but it's coming...*scared*

[Dinglingzi]

how i wish there will be a storm today....
it's so damn hot to live in such tropical city......................

[Niamh]

Once again the heavens have opened! Its almost as bad as Saturday!
Edit*
Okay i take that back. It is JUST as bad as Saturday. I'm glad i'm at home!

[toni]

Scattered rainshowers. Good thing classes were cancelled today :p
Lucky me~

[pussnboots]

It was a beautiful day to walk the boardwalk. Oh what a great breeze there!!!

[Niamh]

It was a beautiful day to walk the boardwalk. Oh what a great breeze there!!!

Lucky you!

[pussnboots]

Lucky you!

I'll send you some of the breeze :):)

[Annamariah]

It was very warm today, at least in the sunshine, but it was also very windy.

[Niamh]

the weather is crap! Got stranded at Malahide station as the trains got cancelled because the line had flooded because of the rain, and had to get a taxi home.:( What ever happened to summer!:bawling:

[subterranean]

Me and some blokes were supposed to sit in an Irish pub tonight watching a friendly match between England and Germany. But it's been raining and the wind is too strong for an umbrella. So, there goes our plan. And it's predicted to snow this weekend in Denmark with even colder wind.

What's your story with the weather? Did you ever have that totally blown out plan because the weather was not feeling too friendly?

[1n50mn14]

All the time!

Although once, it was the opposite. I had co-ordinated about eighty people to come make snowmen in our local park this February... and the sun came out and melted all the snow! XD

[Annamariah]

I LOVE the weather today <3 It's been snowing the whole day, and it's "nuoskalunta", so-called "snowball snow".

It's just so lovely when it's rather warm and everything looks so beautiful with nice fresh layer of snow everywhere.

We tried to persuade our oral communication class teacher to take the whole group outside and have a nice snow ball fight, but he said "no" because he didn't have any gloves :(

We DID build a snowman tough, before the class with one of my friends. We got angry stares from the teacher inside, who soon came and closed the curtains because we were distracting his students. I don't understand his reaction, I mean, the whole building a snowman was his idea in the first place :D Or maybe not exactly, but as we were trying to persuade him to let his class to go and build snowmen with our group, he told us to go away from his class and that we could go and build a snowman before our own class started... So that's what we did, and for some reason he wasn't happy :lol:

(Yes, I really am a university student who takes her studies quite seriously, don't you believe me?)

[Madhuri]

35 C (95 F)...The temperature will rise even more :( My head feels unusually hot today :(

[librarius_qui]

usual Rio summer day,
hot.

possibly we reached the 40 C, during the day.
(38 C, yesterday ...)

you really must be a little nuts to live here ... :crash:

I like it. don't know exactly how, or why, but it's my home ... I'd be miserable if I couldn't bear it happily!~

[Chava]

Gloom. It is officially the first day of spring, but the clouds are out it's drizzeling, and it's cold. Ah well.

[Madhuri]

Its about 35 C again today. :( :(

I think my tolerance for heat is reduced; I wonder how back home I survived in 45+ C temperature :eek2:

[sprinks]

Quite warm, although a lot of cloud cover again.

[Virgil]

Its about 35 C again today. :( :(

I think my tolerance for heat is reduced; I wonder how back home I survived in 45+ C temperature :eek2:


Quite warm, although a lot of cloud cover again.

It's snowing over here. :bawling:

[1n50mn14]

FREEZING, so cold I can't actually walk anywhere, but very bright and sunny.

[Madhuri]

I think I can manage any degree of cold weather, but not the heat :( I feel irritated all the time :( If only it would rain....

[sprinks]

HOT. And we were doing dancing for sport and everyone was all sweaty :sick: :p

[manolia]

Rain..again :(

[sprinks]

hot again, clear blue sky.
Although it's very cold at night.

[Tsuyoiko]

Sunny and cold

[~Sophia~]

Sunny, a few fluffy bunny clouds, 78'F. Ahhhh

[Virgil]

That sounds great Sophia. Certainly warmer here than it's been. Hopefully the it will melt the snow.

[Scheherazade]

It has been a great day here; sunny and a little on chilly side.

[~Sophia~]

That sounds great Sophia. Certainly warmer here than it's been. Hopefully the it will melt the snow.

Yeah, I could say I miss snow but, I'd be lying. I only crave it Dec. 24 - Jan. 1 Now that would be Camelot!

[kevinthediltz]

40 to 50 F today. Time to get out and fix that shed!!!!

[Remarkable]

Hahahahahahahahahaha,we've stolen the same thing!!!!!!!!!!

Too rainy here...Me and my friends,we had a small gathering at my house and they all got stuck here because of the rain...

[vheissu]

We had sunshine today!!! It was great :D

[sprinks]

about 18 degrees celsius now, but going to get up to 30

[librarius_qui]

not bad, not bad ...

(it must be around 32, 35 C, out there. it'll possibly gu up to 39, 40 ... common Carioca summer! :) )

oops, I should be acting as though I was in Australia :D

[pussnboots]

It is a beautiful day. I have my windows open and the 6 inches of snow that we had at the beginning of the week is now gone.

[librarius_qui]

How's wheather in Australia, Sprinksy?

obs. tiny Tim has temporarily abandoned us! :bawling:

[Virgil]

Very warm and more than spring like. It's over 70F (21C) and because it's been so cold this feels like summer warm.

[sprinks]

How's wheather in Australia, Sprinksy?

Well today it was hot. Somewhere above 30 degrees I think. But now it is really really cloudy!

[Chava]

Grey, rain, and wind. Again, again.

[Nightshade]

rain rain and more rain...

[*Classic*Charm*]

2 degrees and raining to put out hell...but at least it's above zero! Come on, Spring!:nod:

[sprinks]

hot :sick: and I walked home in 3 layers of clothing, my normal school bag and my art file and bag! Gah! AND I got off a stop early!

[Pryderi Agni]

Pretty hot. Summer's here, after all.

[LadyWentworth]

Very cold here. 20F outside. But by this weekend/early next week we should be 25 - 30 degrees warmer than today. That will, of course, lead to the temperature dipping down again by the middle of next week. Oh, how I hate this time of year with the constant ups and downs on the thermometer. :sick:

[Niamh]

It was a nice bright day.

[LadyWentworth]

It was a nice bright day.
Actually, it was a bright day here, too. But cold. How have you guys been doing temperature wise?

[sprinks]

really cold morning wind, lots of cloud cover - but it warmed up later.

[Pryderi Agni]

Hot, hot, hot! Even the sun didn't shine today...

[Chava]

Gloom and cold weather

[Nightshade]

It was a nice bright day.

..... insert what you think I feel like saying!

drizzle windchill and generall ickiness that equals spring.

[*Classic*Charm*]

Beautiful! Sunny, bit of a breeze, and -2 degrees (which is cold, but warmer than it had been!)

[papayahed]

Overcast and chilly

[sprinks]

hot, but cloudy

[Niamh]

A bright day so far!

[Virgil]

Overcast here, but not too cold.

[Chava]

Oy, weathergods, we're a nation suffering from lack of D-vitamin here! Flash us some sunlight please.

For the third week in a row, it is gloomy and rainy, and windy.

[*Classic*Charm*]

Sunny and going up to 12 degrees today! :banana::banana::banana::banana:

[LadyWentworth]

Not necessarily warm (it was in the 50's but the wind kept it a little chilly), but it was OK today. There was lots of sunshine today which kept it pleasant. Now it is in the 40's but should be in the 60's tomorrow.

[skib]

Absolutely fabulous. Sixty eight today, seventy tomorrow. Strange for March though.

[Madhuri]

It was raining heavily last night, I thought it will be pleasant today...but no....it was a hot day :( was about 32. C today....

[The Comedian]

Warm and beautiful -- warm being around 40f. . . .

[Scheherazade]

Excellent spring weather since yesterday... But I cannot enjoy it because I keep worrying about when it is going to start to rain next :-/

[LadyWentworth]

Sunny and pleasant. Fairly warm. Well, warm for this time of year, that is. :)

[Remarkable]

Oh,it was lovely!Sunny,bright,warm!A true spring's day!I was out all day long and I enjoyed it thoroughly!

[Niamh]

Another bright day! it was also quite warm so i sat outside on my break reading today.

[Niamh]

It is beautiful outside. We have been blessed it blue skys for days now!

[Annamariah]

It's getting really warm - today it was already 4 degrees (Celsius)!
The snow is melting fast, the roads are almost clear by now.

There will probably be some more snow before it all melts away, but at least the spring is really coming and every now and then we even get to see the sun :)

[Niamh]

Foggy. The fog horns have been going off for about an hour now and its getting quite thick.

[pussnboots]

it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood !!

[Scheherazade]

it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood !!Aye!

[Virgil]

Oh is it beautiful today. One can call this spring. I have no idea why some people like the winter. Spring is the best! But I guess it takes winter to fully appreciate the spring.

[vheissu]

It's very sunny here...and I'm stuck inside writing!! Wish my laptop's battery lasted a full hour...I'd be able to at least enjoy the sunshine!

[Chava]

I saw sunlight today. I haven't seen the sun for three weeks!

[Snowqueen]

Thunder, Lightning and Rain........:D

[Thespian1975]

Another sunny day in the UK!

I've never been in the garden so much!

YIPPEE

The perfect cure for S.A.D

[Niamh]

Still foggy...

[*Classic*Charm*]

Clear blue sky, but cold and windy

[Annamariah]

In the morning it was terribly windy, but as I was coming home from school, I SAW THE SUN! :D Oh, how I love sunshine...

But with the sunshine came another, not-so-nice sign of the spring, actually one of the ugliest ones, which is ... smelling dog poop :sick: I hate it, it's the same thing every spring.

[Niamh]

Still foggy...

Still foggy!!!!!

[LadyWentworth]

A fairly pleasant day. It is sunny and a mild temperature, but the wind is chilly at times.

[sprinks]

Come on winter! :D The days are overcast, a little cold, and the nights are getting colder... I want winter! :D

[Niamh]

The sun is splitting the trees!

[kilted exile]

it's nice today about 2C sunny, no wind

[Madhuri]

It was really hot during the day, about 34 C; but in the evening it became pleasant.

[Lady Marian]

I love that this thread is three years old and is still on track on the 65th page!

The sun had finally won over the clouds, which are beating a hasty retreat.

[LadyWentworth]

I have absolutely no idea. I haven't set foot out there yet. It is sunny, but I bet it is deceiving. I bet it just looks warmer than it really is.

[Scheherazade]

Who cares about the weather?

:(

[Tournesol]

Weather is important...it sometimes determines our mood...sometimes it determines if we can or can't meet the person we love...maybe it will cause plants to grow or not grow...if it rains on a wedding day some people say that the couple will be blessed...and I could go on...

It was remarkably hot today. About 35C!

[sprinks]

rain, rain, rain!! :D Although the sun does keep coming out and the sky is bright blue with all these dark gloomy clouds... looks a little weird!

[Annamariah]

While I was driving to Kouvola, the sun was shining and it was all nice and warm (+4 degrees Celsius), but sometime during my Russian class the temperature dropped, it started to snow and now everything is white again. The roads might be a bit icy tomorrow, but the car still has the winter tyres, so there's nothing to worry about.

[Niamh]

Rainy and windy.

[K.M Roberston]

Crazy warm (14 c)

[dramasnot6]

Beautiful.

[*Classic*Charm*]

It was beautiful today! 12 degrees and sunny. And it's not going down below zero tonight!

[NikolaiI]

Who cares about the weather?

:(

LoL! :)

It was a rainy day here.. I kind of like all weather patterns.

[vheissu]

Awful!!!

[NikolaiI]

Another rainy day, and 1 degree above freezing... yet for me this isn't awful, I love all the weather, where I live.

[Niamh]

sun is shining!

[Madhuri]

It happens to me every year :( During Summers I am always crying about how hot it becomes....

[librarius_qui]

raining

(possibly about 20 C, out there)

it's night, right now

[LadyWentworth]

Snow, snow and more snow. :( Plus, it is also very cold. It feels VERY cold. MUCH colder than what it supposedly is outside. :cold:

[Nightshade]

clear skies, not that warm yet butg I have hopes that Ill be able to get washing to dry outside!!

[vheissu]

There's sunshine!!!! Finally! :D I'm going out today and enjoy it before it gets cloudy again (which it will, it's the UK after all!)
