The Weather Thread

[mafia_boy]

Just arrived back home after driving through my first cyclone/tropical depression (ex-cyclone Olga!) and can I just advise the more southerly Aussie guys not to do it unless you were in dire straits......that was the most 🤬 scary drive I have EVER taken myself on and would not want to do that again in a hell of a long time....but I got home in one piece.

From a jack knifed truck blocking the main highway causing me to take a 2hr detour around the accident, to horizontal rain, flooding on every single road I took on that detour and enough wind to take me to China if I had a kite, smashing through flooded causeways that weren't visible until 10ft away, I have never been so focused on a piece of bitumen EVER and to say it was a bit of a hard drive is an understatement!! A 5hr drive turned into 7.5hrs!! Even now we have the remains of this ex-cyclone battering my town and it's copped well over 100mm in the past 24hrs and it's just squalling outside, sounds almost like WW3 with it's ferocity!!

Forecast is more wet until the end of the week as this ex-cyclone heads further south to cause more carnage.

Sounds scary. It was 35C here and unusually humid for SA. The cyclone has brought humid weather to the heat down here.

 

[Anghammarad]

Temperature hasn't risen above freezing since Dec 14. Average temp during that time -8,9° C, minimum -25,6° C. The last time Stockholm had this many subzero days in a row was 1829.

 

[Thiele]

I didn't think Sweden ever went above zero. It's in the low 30's again, that's usually nice but i'm not used to this humidity. Only a couple more days and it will be back to the usual dry SA.

 

[Legendary]

Humid, stinking, sweating hot. As always, I am used to it but sitting at the computer in my room is horrible, fans going, aircon isnt in my room. Ahh, the joy of living here.

 

[Rykon Zero]

I kid you not, the weather has remained the same since the cold streak a while ago. That's several months now. I want snow. Maybe next year, I guess.

 

[livemusic]

So ****ing hot yesterday, I think it was the hottest day of the year. I was melting!

Now it's 8 AM and it's alredy hot again, I hope it doesn't get like yesterday though because I'm on AC only until 1 PM.

 

[Trial_Echidna]

It's hot here, about 32ºC here ( 90ºF ). I'm with a fan poiting to my face right now...

Sounds like Seattle!

Apparently it's 18 here. It was a bit warmer earlier and there was some sort of heavy snow/light rain stuff falling. Not too bad. I'm enjoying the 4 or so inches we have on the ground right now.

 

[Thiele]

Mild weather, 30C and overcast. The humidity has gone though.

 

[Rykon Zero]

Sounds like Seattle!

I hate the El Niño.

 

[Thiele]

I hate the El Niño.

You live in a cold area, you would really hate it down here then.

Cool change has come in. About 20C now, with a top of 24 tomorrow. Looks like i might have to wear my jumper for the first time this year.

 

[livemusic]

🤬

 

[Northstar]

It's a tropical 27F, it's been a warm week.

 

[Philly]

I hate the El Niño.

I agree. More wetness and coldness = ftw. Especially in the summer. Weeks of 90 degrees and sunny = ftl.

 

[Thiele]

I agree. More wetness and coldness = ftw. Especially in the summer. Weeks of 90 degrees and sunny = ftl.

Pfft, That would be a mild summer

25C today, didn't feel any cooler than the last few 30C days strangely. We've been having freezing mornings even when the temperatures went up to 30C during the day, but today felt warmer.

The Next Ice Age has struck according to Pennsylvania.


Check it out, this is out my front door. There's a mountain in this pic somewhere.

 

[Keef]

The end is near. Pray for me.

 

[TB]

Straight up 32°F!

 

[Legendary]

Some of you people would never be able to live here , it would be WAY to hot for you.

 

[Rykon Zero]

If it is not humid, I'm fine up to 110. In Fahrenheit. Not Celsius. That would be terrible.

But in humid conditions, like you get here, 90 is too high.

 

[Legendary]

Its humid and temperatures can be up to 35 Celsius. Ill grab todays weather stats:

80% humidity, thats usually the same every day, can be 70%. Top of 28 degrees celcius but some possible rain, that means REALLY humid. Damn its gonna be a sweatbowl today. 28 Celsius is 82 Fahrenheit and 35 (common temperature in summer) is 95 Fahrenheit.

Mountain is gone. And most of those trees you saw.

No, that's normal summer here. It sucks. We can get up to 40ºC with 95%+ humidity.

 

[TB]

I would gladly trade locations with you for the chance to see you freeze your ass off.

And, as Jetboy stated, 85-95 isn't all that bad. Even in the frozen wasteland that is NoDak our average summer temps hover around 85F and being born in Georgia where it's 80F and 80% by 8am, I like to think I can handle most of Mother Natures wrath fairly unscathed.

It's very dry here and rarely humid. Temps go 45C+ though.

Doesn't it get hotter than 35 up there? We get up to 45C. (110F) and have had even hotter. As i said though humidity is almost always low, like 20-30%.

Whoa that does suck. As i said we get like 45 but with only like 20% humidity.

Well today looks to be a sunny 30C.

Yeah, rarely 40 but it does happen, 38 isnt that rare. South Australia has such a dry heat, its a very sun burnish type heat, ours isnt that dry.

Snow... and more snow... here in Indianapolis. --- Randy

 

[Legendary]

I want to touch snow, I never have, I have never been within 2000 kilometres of it.

 

[Jetboy.]

I'll air-freight a shovel load to you. You can keep the damned shovel too.

 

[Philly]

Well it was a fairly unbearable 35 here today. Weird that I can do low teens when it's dry and not much wind but anything above 30 with humidity makes it way too cold, no matter how still the air.

Mountain is gone. And most of those trees you saw.

And the best part is that all this is going on a whole 20 miles from here and we're getting nothing. I want snow. These storms need to stop wrecking our neighbors and missing us.
