[dionysus]

some pluses here and lots of rain, but minuses nights so wicked icing.
But still, some day rain is kinda nice as it's emptying the yard of snow banks
Alas, also exposing all those winter poos that the dogs have filled the yard with

Boring weather over here in South West Queensland.

Any given day of the week (Sunday included): Sunny, Cloudless Blue Skies, Hot, Humid.

C'mon sun - take a short vacation FFS!

Reading this map I have decided the safest place is in a dingy off the east coast

 

[dionysus]

Canucks would trade, a bit of rain and wind , for 2 feet of snow

All due to geo engineering

Well I'm glad to hear that, instead of the clock being 'ten seconds to midnight' and that we caused this storm to happen because I didn't drink kale smoothies or turn off the hallway light

 

[goatwack]

Ok this shit's getting windy now

 

[geordiecolin]

Ok this shit's getting windy now

Sounds like you need that plumbing urgently

 

[dunover]

I've experienced more wind after an ASDA microwave tikka masala than there is here in the SW, at the 'peak' of the weather event. According to my weather station 35.3 mph is our strongest gust yet, I've done worse playing Bonanza.

My eldest daughter lives in your town so its good to know shes safe.
This at heathrow right now. The planes are aborting at the last minute

 

[geordiecolin]

And Amsterdam right now

 

[goatwack]

Ok so the letterbox just flapped and the living room light just flickered.

Just please no power cu

 

[dunover]

OK, I had 46.7mph on my weather thingy, I see Isle of Wight has had a 122mph gust, a provisional new record for England. We've gone from red to amber now as the worst is over, now red alert just London and S.E. and East Anglia. (ducks as fence panel comes through patio door window)

 

[goatwack]

Daily Mail have a live link to Big Jet TV, trust them, and the guy's in his element. Think a Murray Walker/ Bill Oddie hybrid commentating on plane approach landings

Strangely therapeutic in a nerdy way, seen a couple of wobblers but thus far the pilots have shown true stoicism

* just seen a bunch of crates come out of leftfield, though nothing's landed on the runway

 

[dunover]

What brand of trampoline is this?

Great ad potential - "get height in your jumps like no other"

 

[Downsman]

Blowing a hooley and tipping down here!

 

[dionysus]

It is freaking nuts. opened the door, can't see a blasted thing. Snow but wicked winds. A complete white-out. Dogs aint getting no walkies today, ef that.

 

[dionysus]

Lol, door's open a crack so they can go in the yard. It's snowing INDOORS

Guess it's 'Pooper scoop in the trailer' time again then

 

[dionysus]

lol, they have a large yard.

 

[ternur]

The weather here is nothing special or exciting like in the UK atm. Perfect for some outdoor swimming I guess.

 

[dionysus]

Pluses last couple days, loads of rain, streets and yards flooded with water - even got a bunch of song birds out in the yard eating all the unburied seeds; felt like spring around the corner


Today, heavy snow, winds and -16

 

[dionysus]

it's been the weirdest week

tees and shorts at 17 last week
yesterday heavy hail half the day followed by freezing rain
rain today and plus 11
back to minus again tomorrow with snow this weekend

 

[Mark_Lottomart]

Sky like I've never seen before here in Gibraltar today... enjoy the nice weather in the UK guys! Well jell!

 

[dionysus]

gutted the garage, 16 degrees, swept leaves, raked the garden......then, this morning ....#$%%^%$

 

[dionysus]

spring, in ontario, seems like something that only exists in theory
Oh, sure, there was a half hr of sun, then....

yes, those are my big ass paddle boat feet, too lazy for shoes if just feeding the wildlife

 

[dionysus]

Doesn't seem like much, wet snow mostly, but wicked winds.
Went out front, im like, where the ef is my lawn furniture?
Walked the dogs, was a block away, over a bridge, down a ravine, sitting in the creek

Seens loads of downed hydro poles and trees, missing shingles, etc this week around us

 

[dionysus]

yanno, because the last few days of missing yard furntiure, downed trees and power outages wasnt enough

Is it always this cold? Or is it warm? It's just that my house is +20 now and looking at your photos made me feel cold, I don't like winter.

currently minus 6 and snowing - some years, we might be out in shorts, some not ..it's pretty much a 'roll the dice' scenario

 

[ads2003uk]

England UK -- weather forecast: Bipolar.
I'm sat in the office looking out the windows.
My desk right in front (less than 1meter) cloudy, window to my right (20m) it's blue sky & sun, window behind me (30meters away) raining. and yep I can see my car out of window behind me & I finish in 5mins ?

 

[dionysus]

lol, ya, it's 'ya never know' - while snowing today, was +21 on Sunday

 

[Kroffe]

Know the feeling.

ohh...It's bad when you don't know what the weather will be tomorrow

Seems that 'Fiery Friday' is a-comin', with temperatures already pretty spicy across the board, with beach- goers wasting next to no time in enjoying the already nice weather. So brace yourself for temperatures in excess of 36C, give or take.

To prove this, look at how hot it's in Bournemouth Beach, Dorset

A nice cool 24 degrees at 7:15pm here by the pool in Albufeira, Portugal.
Typical heat wave in UK when we come away for two weeks.

Buuuulshiiiiit! Wanna bet? Existing record is 35.6c set in Southampton in 1976. About 96f. If it hits 34c anywhere, this will be the third June in six that 34c has been reached, but overall, temperatures in low-mid 30's occur in UK summers every year. So nothing really to see here. The notable events occur when you get a week/weeks/month of temperatures where somewhere is 30+ every day. Like 2019? when 6 consecutive July days reached or exceeded 34c, including the Cambridge UK record of 38.7c.

We suffer from press imbecility in the UK where weather is concerned. The Met Office say Friday will be the hottest day of the year thus far, 32-33c, hardly unusual for June. Then the Chinese whispers begin and this becomes 33-34c, then someone else adds another 1c onto it, resulting in in bollocks like 36c being cited. It won't be. If it is, please come back to this thread with humilating abuse towards me and I will post a suitably embarrassed reply.

To compound the imbecility, we see headlines in this situation like 'London to be hotter than Athens/Algarve/Madrid/****/****' (fill as appropriate with city or location you've spotted that has a predicted temperature 1c or more lower than the London or UK forecast.)

I wouldn't mind so much if the reverse was true, so on the other 355 days of the year, daily, we would get an equally meaningless headline in the papers screaming 'MALAGA TO BE HOTTER THAN MANCHESTER TODAY!

P.S. This crescendo of 90f-plus 'heat' will last ONE day, with the inevitable 'thundery breakdown' the following day. The we can get back to vital stories about BJ's missus or Kevin Spacey's wandering hands etc.

Only UK people can write so long posts about weather I guess

Bad weather, bad teeth and cups o' tea are pretty much our forte, and get our juices flowing

you forgot weak chins and inbreeding

Say what now? How dare you

It's been in the high 90's lately here in southern California,

I was born in a desert city about 4 hours away & when we go visit it's usually 105-110 .. one time it was about 117° & our car didn't even show us the outside temperature in degrees it literally just said HOT! ?

lived in Ca once upon a time; I'll take thosse 90s and desert heat V our 90s and humidity

 

[goatwack]

People think Brits can't stand heat, and we can't, but really the thing that does us in is humidity. So when we had THAT heatwave of 3-4 years ago it was just c.a six weeks of unrelenting baking without so much as whisper of a breeze. Bastarding weather

That is a tough one, I used to go off roading at some beach down in Baja it got so hot and humid it literally felt like you were being suffocated, and it didn't even get better at night 2am was just as bad as 2pm But the dry desert heat feels like someone slaps you every time you open your door.. ?

I'll pick option C, go to Alaska and live in an abandoned school bus

Yeah people forget we’re an island surrounded by (relatively) cold seas. This means that any airmass reaches us loaded with moisture and the humidity goes through the roof. The only ‘dry’ air flow is one from the SE, given minimal track across the sea from a baking hot continent.

A 30c temperature with a high relative humidity % will feel more like mid to high 30s somewhere where the air is drier.

So yeah, we have every right to moan ?
