man, you're lucky. Here in the DC area there is a heavy downpour about once a week, but all bright and sunny on the rest of the days. I cannot stand all this sunny weather; wish we had more rain to make things darker outside.

here rain does not signal end of heat wave, it means start of oppresive life chocking humidity

If it gets any hotter, I will go mad, and that is a PROMISE.

I've got to go into work and lift heavy loads all day tomorrow as well....

Pay a small orphan child to do the lifting for you

Silence, both of you. I want this weather to last all summer so when I go back to Uni I see lots of freshers in skimpy outfits... and my girlfriend of course :nervous:

England not rainy enough for your tastes? I would think that over there, a few days of sunshine would have people jumping for joy, but I guess I was wrong:D :D

Sunshine, fair enough, but most of us don't cope well with sweltering heat as we're unused to it - and by sweltering, I mean anything over 30c :)

Thanks to global warming we get less rain in the summer now (at least it seems that way).

As for the rain we got a few spots on the other side of London (i.e in Kent) but it seems to be clearing up again now.

30c is 86f.
thats a normal summer day here. then you factor in almost 90% humidity and it sucks.

Stealth: how hard did houston get hit by that hurricane? (if at all)

I don't care about the temperature since I never go out, but the stupid sunlight still comes in through the windows and makes it all bright inside the house. :p

if you can't handle 86F then DON'T move to Texas. It easily gets over 100f/40c ( :eek2: ) every day here in the summer.  Speaking of the hurricane its been raining where I live all week.

aah if it rains in England then it's possible that it will rain soon here in Finland too.

Oh how I wait for that day. Heat is nice time to times, but several days in a row when we are not used to it is a bit too much.

i know, true dat :D :D

that hurricane Claudette (?!) was cool though, we all went to surfside, by the channel.  waves were breaking pretty hard core there.  awesome surfing, but very dangerous with the currents.  the one guy got sucked out, and the coast guard had to pick him up :D.  stupid n00bs... who goes surfing in the most dangerous weather when it's your first time and you don't know what you're doing :D :D

'tis about 21 degrees here in the boondocks (ok, we're only about 10 miles from Glasgow).  Looks like getting set to piss donw...sigh.... I was actually starting to go a nice shade of orange.  Guess it means I can go back indoors and do some work for Reci, I s'pose.  Bloody rain.   Thunder & Lightnings kinda fun, though.  'Cept it always seems to take out our local power substation.......
