Weather. That's right.

[QUOTE=fable]And you actually call that weather...?

Wait until Aegis and DW describe their weather.

I believe at one point everyone recieved a report on the news not to go out unprepared. 20 minutes in the weather here at the time was enough to cause the permanent lowering of the bodies core temperature.

It's a dry cold. It's fun putting people to shame who complain when they make it to weather as dreadful as the freezing point.

Here it is hotter than hell. 4 days no rain in the afternoons, the thermal sensation (according to the weather thingie) is 50 celsius. I cant take it anymore.

When it gets that cold, it's usually very dry. I remember how, well, warm it felt at -25 F while working up in Fargo-Moorhead: it was dry, and absolutely calm, so as long as you didn't expose any flesh, you never really noticed it. And you never felt chill, as such. Though icicles did form in my moustache, simply from breathing out.

It sounds like you need to do a temporary exchange program with Hill-Shatar, Luis.

Not with that sort of wind. I swear, the only reason I got through getting to work with my sanity intact that day is because I'm prepared for extreme weather for trips of winter camping.

*snort*

I just got back from Brazil. Keep your weather.

You want to be put to shame? :mischief:

, but Ill keep this on topic:

That's occasionally happened here, in New Jersey. Apparently, the climate mimics those of other areas, and sticks with them for a time. At the moment, we're back to a warm, wet spell: 42 F was the high yesterday, but it rose overnight to 55 F. It's rainy, gusty, and nearly 60 F, now.

Of course, not even a monsoon would keep you from seeing the horror that passes in New Jersey for architecture when the camoulflage of foliage is gone. Sad place, really.

Thread Necromancy!

I always liked this thread, and the weather is beautiful here in VT- high 60s/low 70s, sunny, dry and otherwise perfect. It got me wondering what it is like other places. So, a little thread resurrection seemed in order- what's the weather like?

After months and months of incessant rain, we finally appear to be experiencing some nice warm spring weather.

The weather's lovely. It's about 12C, which is the optimal temperature for 8:30am. The grass is green, the wind is mild and I'm really enjoying my coffee.

Night..(is that weather?)

Easterly winds are relieving us here in Florida of the smoke from the wild fires in southern Georgia. We've had a smattering of rain the past few days, but unfortunately not quite enough to fix the deficit that has developed this month.

This is certainly not in character for an approaching Florida summer.

Do you mean, from Australia? Because I've always heard the term "Aussie" used to describe people living there, never the land, itself. And I seem to recall that Australia has at least two or three major climatalogical areas.

It's a coloquial term used by New Zealanders to discribe the county and the people. Yes Asutralia has more than one cimate area but they are in the middle of a very serious drought along the entire east cost and inland. (NWS QLD VIC) the murry river has shrunkeb to what looks like a creek and there are Lv 5 water restrictions in place.

Water is the new Oil

A Perennial site for sure; alleviates some of the British obsessesion with weather. I have been moaning on my PM's about our ongoing rain, rain, rain. May is disappointing but April was marvelous even got a couple of mosquito bites! Now for SE England that is mediterranean...

Interesting though: no doubt most GB's are familiar with the Weather Channel stateside. Nonetheless, when they launched it in the UK it closed within 18 months. Seems Brits like to talk about the weather. I thought about this and discussed with friends, and we came to conclusion that it is a conversational 'ice-breaker'. "Lovely day". Or when walking the dogs in torrential rain "We must be mad". :laugh: Okay, must be cultural...A.

PS: Ampasand, your drought situation sounds dire. No doubt you are aware happening in Southern European countries too, sometimes when we have been in southern spain (summer time) the water coming out of the taps and shower-heads has been salt-water... Water is the new oil. But even in "This Green and Pleasant Land" a.k.a. England, hosepipe bans are usually in place by early summer. Last year it was April 1. So much for the Burberry mac'.

AmpaSand · Post by **AmpaSand** » Tue May 15, 2007 10:35 pm

Not my drought. I live 2000 km away in NZ plenty of rain.

Water is the new Oil

Just picked up on the shrunken Murray River...Stopped raining here. Even a hint in a break in the clouds

and they're talking about 21C for the w/e.
B-B-Q's will be out; we're tough here.

Rain!

It is raining like crazy here! First thunderstorm of the summer... to quote Borat..."Very Nice!"

I'm very envious, here it usually just rains without the thunderstorms. *sigh* I love storms of all kinds, but thunderstorms especially.
Of course, the upshot is that we don't get the suffocating, torrid heat and humidity out here on the west coast, can't have it all ways, I suppose.

Yesterday it was warm and sunny, and it actually got up to 26 degrees Celsius. However, we currently have the more usual cloud cover and temperatures around 15 degrees C.

Same here. Well, except for the very nice part. I actually like thunderstorms, but they make my dog extremely upset. I feel sorry for him....big huge lummox of a dog trying to crawl in my lap because of the scary boom noises.

We needed some rain. The weather was absolutely beautiful the last several days, but rain is good too.
