Im loving the weather, it was 91^ last time i checked, I think some roads had tarmac melt and people are flakin out like wuss-tards on the trains, i spent my lunch at tower bridge working my tan, watching some bird sing in a red dress for a week long festival at city hall, while a single loon from the crowd jumped n and danced. Its just about right (hotter than RIO i believe) so whatabout the special part of the UK you live in, Whats it like?
-
It's baking here in Birkenhead, 94o. However, I'm not enjoyong it too much as the sweat is pouring off me! It is just too hot and sticky, the humidity is way up! and the office is not air conditioned! Phew!
-
Man AC is a saving grace, I'm on the 9th floor of Ernst & Young UK headquarters right now and its got the best AC in the firm nationwide. But as soon as you go outside its like sticking your entire body in an oven on Xmas day and sharing it with the turkey. I'm not looking forward to the commute home, I never do though.
@ A14 whats Jockland like?
-
It's roasting in Manchester and I'm on a days holiday.
-
Mid 20s with a slight breeze.
-
I could use a slight breeze roundabout now.
Whats best a cool glass of coke/pepsi or a chilled pint of Cider/Lager with Ice as appropriate?
-
Pepsi/Coke with ice would prob be best for you, but I'm definately going for a pint or three after work (The wifes b'day) :yes2:
Well you wouldn't want a warm beer would you?
-
Bah. Spend a week in my room during summer and tell me that's hot. :p
-
Now, how did I just know Dekker started this thread? :rolleyes:
-

Uh! No thanks! :nervous:
BTW I love that line in Good morning Vietman!
"What's the weather like outside
It's HOT
HOT and WET, which is okay if you're with a lady, but no good if you're in the jungle!"
:D

Now, how did I just know Dekker started this thread? :rolleyes:
Whats that meant to mean Bruce?

Thermometer shows just a hair over 32C outside. Luckily I've got the fridge stocked with almost every cool drink known to man, and plenty of icecream in the freezer :) If this lasts until the weekend, I'll be spending much of it with my brother on a river, in a canoe, with a cooler filled with an assortment of the aforementioned cool drinks (well, primarily beer I imagine), enjoying life.

And this is why they call you Shade! ;)
-
Actually that's just from a mage/thief character I made for Baldur's Gate, which I then came to like rather a lot and whose name I have since been using for most game characters. In fact, there is precious little shade around here for most of the day ;)
-
I am in the US and it's not that bad today, but it hovered around 100F yesterday afternoon. They say the last time it went that high in this area was four years ago. I am home today in any case and just have the AC on.
-

:lol:
45 degree summers days my friend, and we're still out playing sport in 'em.
-
The sun is great, I'm gonna go home now, get changed, go for a jog, and have a shower.
Seeya later guys. *passes out from exhaustion* :cool:
-
I miss the cold :(
-
37 degrees Celsius in northern Limburg (Dutch province), highest ever recorded since 1921.
-
Well, couple of days ago it was 101 F (38.3 C) here in Colorado, at least in the desert region (Pueblo), south near New Mexico.
I don't know if it's global warming or what, but my entire life the temperature here has been creeping up, breaking the records almost every year.
-
I miss the cold :(
I don't. STFU and stop tempting fate.
-
It was over 100F in the D.C. area yesterday, little bit cooler today though. That heat + high humidity = Not... wanting... to move.
Personally I'm a cold weather person, so I hate the summers here. Hope the heat-lovers are enjoying themselves. :)
-
99F (37.2C) last weekend
-
Was a 105F this weekend here. and was over 114F at Pierre, SD this weekend.
-
It's 92F in my room. With a ceiling fan, two floor fans, and the air conditioner running. :blah:
-
It's 95 Fahrenheit in Indiana, but we've got just about every fan in the house complimenting the A/C, so inside, we're reasonably cool.
-
It's around 100 in Bama, after a few mild summers(high 80's/low 90's) It's pretty hot, then you gotta add the 70 degree dew point.
-
This Sunday it's supposed to be around 105 degrees F in Oregon of all places..
-
Actually its quite nice here now... lower to mid 80's ;)
-
It's been hotter than the Devil's asscrack lately here in Minnesota. We had five days in a row of 90-plus degree weather. Add to that the insane amount of humidity we have here, and yeah. Very hot. Today cooled things down a bit, we had a nice thunderstorm this morning, I hope it keeps things cool for a while.
-
I'm about nearly set alight it's that hot. Apparantly today was UK's hottest recorded day in July.

I missed that thunderstorm... I'm just a bit too far north.

:wtf: Nice energy efficiency going on there.....
30+ degrees, humid as hell, plus occational thunderstorms. The AC makes it nice and cool, but since we run it almost all day it has managed to double our electricity bill last month.
-

Alright then, what do you suggest they do to cool down?
-
If you have even a half-way decent air conditioner it should never get that hot. Not even my apartment (which has cement walls with no insultation) gets that hot with the AC on. My AC isn't even a central AC either.
-
Well, you see, there's some kind of problem with my room. I've never been able to figure it out, nor anyone else. The rest of the damn place is a nice 80F thanks to running the AC for short periods, but my room is always at least five degrees hotter then the rest of the house, and sometimes a lot more. :blah:
-
it's because you suck :D
do you have westward facing windows? are you sure your HVAC ducts are not blocked?
-
Westward windows yes, HVAC ducts are clear. :/
-
just on the news... Faith, South Dakota hit 120F last Saturaday
-
Ach, freezing down here.
-
I'm about nearly set alight it's that hot. Apparantly today was UK's hottest recorded day in July.
Wednesday, was the hottest UK day recorded for over 95 years i believe......
-
And a record for July.
-
I think 95 years tends to cover July :rolleyes:
-
I think you've misunderstood me. I wasn't saying it was a record for this July. I was saying that it was a record for any July as far back as records go. Without that it was quite possible that there was a hotter day in July 100 years ago.
-

As July is the hottest month of the year in Britain IIRC, I think that stands to reason! :nod:
-
I just checked. It wasn't the hottest day for 95 years. It was the hottest day in July (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/5193970.stm) though. The hottest day ever was in August 2003 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3138865.stm) (as are the majority of the previous records)
-
:sigh: K, well done with that.... Its well nice today, Not too hot, i went for a jog at lunch down the thames bank and z0MG, how many joggers were there ?!?!
-

Sunday as temperatures soared to 38.1C (100.6F) in Gravesend, Kent.
Hah! We could do 38.1 standing on our heads. Hell, last summer it went over 40 a few times.
I ridicule your milder climate.
-
You have to rememeber that everyone builds against the cold and rain in the UK. We're not set up for summer very well at all. More importantly it's also a very humid 38.1. Much more so than it is over there.
-
Twas 40C on Sunday. Felt closer to 50 though. :sigh:
We've been having the most severe weather here in southern NY, though. Across the river, nothing but down trees and power lines, and even a tornado (in a mountainous area :wtf: )
-
57F here at the moment, feels quite refreshing after such a heatwave
-
HAHA Sorry to perform necromancy but I KNEW I was going to be thinking about this thread in Jan/Feb and guess what...
WHERES THE HEAT NOW?!?! As I speak I think it's about -20F with a windchill of over -35F below... been freezing since last week and looks like it'll last till at least Wed or Thurs before we even hit 0F. Thank god I'm not in Williston or Winnopeg, they were at -29 :mad2:
-
We've barely had a day below 0C this year.....
-
Around 15 celcius here, though that's a rough estimation, whatever, it's warm enough to walk around with a thin sweater and shirt.
-
10 C here, but some days ago we had even 20 C. It's unexplicably warm here...
-
In Michigan we have below zero windchills... (Fahrenheit)
-
In Michigan we have below zero windchills... (Fahrenheit)
Same here. I want El Nino back right about now.
Or I'll just move back to Raleigh.
-
Hah, it snowed a couple days ago in Fort Worth. The heavy snow at that.
-
we had snow... NOW IT'S GONE! Who stole our snow... ;_;
-
After 45 days of complete snowcover, it's finally ****ing melting
-
We just got hit with another big freezing air system in New Mexico... fortunately this one was not accompanied by precipitation, so no snow! :)
I want my mildly warm winters back! :(
-
In my area here in Norway we've had about.. 5-6 days of snow since November. Temperature varies, but 10 degrees Celsius isn't uncommon. Normally we'd be knee deep in snow at this time of year.
-
Good for you Brits! It freezing here in the north east region and tomorrow's high's supposed to be -9C :D
-
Yeah, here in Colorado it got down to -18 C once or twice... that wasn't fun
At least it's finnally getting warm
-
It's supposed to be 17 C here today. Doesn't anyone else think it is a bit odd that we have all this spring weather before spring is even here?
-
Wow...blast from last summer.
Up until mid January we were having the mildest winter on record. Then winter arrived. Now were back to what a true normal Canadian winter is like. We've got -14 outside right now in southern Ontario with a windchill that feels more like -25 or -30 with some whiteout conditions on the roads in various spots. Not a good night to be out at all.
-
no snow so far in most of england if any of england 2006 christmas season. temperatures have been the lowest of about -5 so far.
-
You stole our heat, Kosh. Up in Michigan, we're lucky to break 5F (-15C) tomorrow. We actually have a valid chance of a 'Cold Day.' Like a Snow Day, but... colder.
...on second thought, bring on the cold. =D

Of course you are cold, you have the king of low pressure systems on top of you. :D

By the looks of it, you can expect to stay that way for a good while longer as the PV(Polar Vortex) keeps forming right on top of you.
-
I wonder if it even made it up to -10 today.
-
Hot? If you think a measly 90s degree range is hot...spend a summer where I work at...which so happens to be smack on a river in the middle of a desert. Back last summer there was a day where the temperature was somewhere around 132 degrees! !FORTUNATELY! it was surprisingly and mostly a dry heat...guess too much heat for any amount of moisture to stay near the ground.
91? 94 degrees? thats comfortably warm weather as long as the humidity don't sky rocket and add another twenty degrees to it...

Well if your complaining about the heat... come live here... its only a mere -21F now.. :D
-
Complain? Id rather stay in the heat and look at the bikini babes (mind you a good share of them are thong ones) when they flock here during the summer...than have to settle for someone bundled up in 12 layers of cold weather clothing and see no skin cept whats on their face...
-
HAHA we just hibernate still it warms up... oh about June/july :lol:
-
And here I was thinking that the bicycle felt especially frictionized today morning. They told me it was -31 of Celsius around 9.00 in the morning. If memory serves, last January was colder with -25 degrees of Celsius and strong wind. Using the bicycle for three kilometer trip, I calculated that the effective temperature for the whole trip was roughly equal to -45 degrees.

It's snowing here in western Virginia and with how cold it has been the last couple of days it is going to stick.
-
Yesterday it was -8F (not wind chill) when I left for school at 6:20. I got today off even though it's about 10 degrees warmer because our superintendent felt sorry for us. At my school, we have a campus of four large buildings that are at average 150 yards apart. Man, it sucks between classes. I mean, I personally don't go outside ever hour, but I do once, and it sucks. It's too cold inside my first three classes too, because some idiot kept leaving the doors open.
But still, I feel sorry for people who live farther north than me :p .
-
HAHAH you get school off for being only -8F? :D
Course living here isn't exactly fun... we go from -20 to 90 :ick:
-
Sizzler do you live near Detroit? All the schools around here were closed for that reason.

Yup. Plymouth twp to be precise.

It's -24 degrees Celcius (-11.2 F) here at the moment. It's not the coldness that pisses me off. It's that there's virtually no snow at all in Helsinki. Two or three days ago it rained water. Heavily. It melt away all snow. Now the snow is ice. :sigh:
This winter sucks. And blows. At the same time. :mad:
Anyway, here's a latest picture of temperatures around Finland... in Celcius, obviously.
(http://www.fmi.fi/img/saa/hav_suomi_2007020702_0331.gif)
:wtf:@closing schools at -22.2 deg Celcius... silly Americans... :p It's not the temperature that causes you to feel cold. It's a combination of poor use of clothes, bad superficial circulation and lack of movement. The coldest I have ever been was not actually that cold at all, it was practically at zero C in fact, but the fact that it was raining sleet, snow, water and I don't even want to know what at the same time, while the wind was also not weak and there was about 20 cm of watery snow in the ground AND we* were using leather boots and no rain clothes, and we had to put up our tents into the sleet. Ah, the memories... :D
-
LOL you'll have to excuse the poor Americans (at least those that don't live in this part of American). They don't get this weather year after year. Ya I'll agree the cold isn't THAT bad.. but you add even a slight breeze and that drops the windchill through the floor very quickly.
Someone moved from Alaska back in January down here and was complaining about the freaking cold :lol:
Also looks like a heatwave is coming this weekend... in the teens above :)
-
In Michigan we have below zero windchills... (Fahrenheit)
In illinois we have below zero temps without the wind chill.
the last few days we've had highs of -11F around me.

Our weather must be going down your way.... It was too cold for it up here :lol:

Well, the world is officially ending; South England is forecasting snow for itself, which means the BBC will be clogged up for the next week with stories of 'Chaos on the roads' and 'Londons DEADLY Winter Wonderland' following a whopping 5cm of snow.
-
Weather is screwed.. we're all dooooooomed! :eek:
-

True that. It was fun to drive in pure snow a while back (I've lived in Kainuu allmost 3/4 of my life so snow is something I really dig in winter :D ). Now just... ice... blegh. Icy black Vantaa...
Oh and well the really cold weather was not that nice on this morning. Yes my 323 did start quite nicely, but the cooling fluids were frozen (lazy me, of course the mixture was too mild because I hadn't done anything for it since fall) which means that I allmost overheated the motor :F I was allmost expecting it though so no harm done, had to try it though.

Ah, My Chemistry teacher's wife teaches there. I live in Royal Oak but i go to the IA.

Ooh, I have another relatively cold experience in strangely similar situation. We had this funny refreshing exercise that lasted for a couple of days where I was carrying a nice bonus anti-tank mine (10 kg pure concrete) - a "weight weapon" as they say, "for the exercise" they would say. It was mild, -5 C in the beginning of the day and snow was relatively wet. During the day I ran, crawled and jumped in the snow like crazy (more like had to) and at some point ended up as guarding the minefield when the others were doing something little more interesting. It was one of the coldest moments I've endured, laying on the snow, trying to squeeze in the body armor and cursing man's tendency to sweat heat away before he really needs it. They kept me waiting for an hour.
When it was finally over, we had this short 5 km walk to the encampment area and enjoyed the fresh air greatly. During the day the temperature was gradually getting lower and lower until we hit -25 degrees at the night. I especially liked the part when your buddy comes to wake you up and tells you it's your turn to go guarding! Next morning we had, surprise surprise, this rush to some other place to repeat the yesterday and so we folded the tent as quickly as possible. In the evening (or in the night depending on your point of view) we found out that the bastard was frozen and several men were needed to pull a single fold open.
The same thing happened with clothes but in that situation, who would want to change them any way? When finally returning to home, unused clothes resembled more a slab of granite than something you put on.
Please don't make me remember more funny stories from the happy days...

Got up to about 64 today, but 40 miles north it was in the 40's. Nice to have a warm day before we go back in the freezer later this week.
-
HEAT WAVE here!!!! We got to 9F above today!!! WOOHOOO
-
Sounds brisk and refreshing, Mika. ;)
-
You don't think it was a bit oversarcastic, do you?
Come to think of it, I'm not even sure if every single gag was understandable!

Actually it only lasted about 36 hours, was about 3 inches of snow in total, and, yes, threw all the roads and rail into chaos, I swear, for a country in an area of the world that gets the widest expanse of weather conditions, you would have thought they'd be up to the job by now?
-
England gets such pretty little fluffy snow.
-
Oswego is trying to dig out of 90" of snow...
Me, Im hoping New Paltz gets hit with a 9th of that :p
-
England gets such pretty little fluffy snow.
All we get around here is the horiztonal snow :ick:
-
HAY GUYS SNOW STORM COMING.
YAYYYYYYyyyyY1111
...
I'm moving down south after all this. :blah:
