It's really hot today, I want go for a hike with the wife, but I think it might be too hot for our cairn terrier. It's supposed to be in the 90's.

I had a foot and a half of water in my cellar after a torrential downpour earlier this week. Combination of being at the low point in the street and poor storm drains.

Uh, southern Cal?

"It's supposed to be in the 90's."

I had a few weeks ago 116 with the low 93 degrees. Record temperatures for the day in Phoenix, AZ. But they say for every day in Arizona you get a day less in Hell.

It was super hot all week, but now it's dreary, gray, and cool like I like it. It'll probably drizzle too!

*mute*

Update: It is now pouring rain. I expect it to last about five minutes, but I am hopeful that it will last all day.

Update: The rain has stopped. Fucking Seattle.

Grew up in W. WA, ghug, and now live E. WA. Didn't realize how much I'd miss the rain.

90ish right now, pleasant break from 100+ weather we've been having.

Subtract about thirty from both of those numbers and that's exactly how I feel.

Okay, I have to say this because the quote is so apropos:
"Talk about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative"- Oscar Wilde

What a witty quip. Oscar would do well on the internet. As for me, weather and other such topics, seem a bit hobbit-ish, something that I could with more of, and an usual deviation from the standard forum topics.

unusual

Clearly you've never lived somewhere with interesting weather, Vash.

Well it's been shit weather here. Rain every single fking day, flooding on some roads, hail storms, a ton of lightning and around 24 degrees with lots of wind and then suddenly it goes to clear skies and like 35 with 70% humidity where you die from the heat, followed by a big rain storm and cold ass weather.

I live in Indiana, where you can have all four seasons transpire over the course of a week at any time throughout the year. Earlier this year (I think it was in May) it snowed an inch or so, stormed like crazy overnight, and the next day it was over 70.

Apparently it's "summer" now.

Oh that literally happened about 7 times here in North Carolina Bo. In every conceivable combination; heat, snow, rain. Rain, heat, snow. Ect.. Ect

Indiana has nothing on Alaska. In Fairbanks, there'd be snow through late May and early June, and in Anchorage, where it could just start storming for no reason between the mountains and the water, the bore tides would raise the bay by around 30 feet in just 5 or 6 hours from low to high tide (yes, you read that right - 5+ feet per hour at its peak, that's an inch per minute..).

It's muggy today. And the mid day sun was orange-red because of forest fires.

heat is the bane of my existence. should there ever be a free trip to alaska offered I would live there yesterday. I wish only for a cool 50 degree weather from january first to december 31st

Sunny and cool in coastal California.

Talking about variable weather conditions is so un-cool. The phrase 'climate change' is de rigueur.
14C (57F), cloudy but dry in Leeds, UK. A lovely fine, warm day.
You folk are such softies. Where I was brought up, in North Wales (UK), if you could see the mountains, it was a sure sign of rain. If you could not see the mountains, it was already raining.

14C, wow, I wish. It's 30C (and humid) here in Tel-Aviv, Israel. That's pretty much the standard from June\July until the end of September.

Somehow I feel I need to quote the great Jerome K. Jerome, contemporary of Oscar Wilde, here:

"George got hold of the paper, and read us out the boating fatalities, and the weather forecast, which latter prophesied 'rain, cold, wet to fine' (whatever more than usually ghastly thing in weather that may be), 'occasional local thunder-storms, east wind, with general depression over the Midland Counties (London and Channel). Bar. falling.'

I do think that, of all the silly, irritating tomfoolishness by which we are plagued, this 'weather-forecast' fraud is about the most aggravating. It 'forecasts' precisely what happened yesterday or the day before, and precisely the opposite of what is going to happen to-day. . . .

It was too bright and sunny on this especial morning for George’s blood-curdling readings about 'Bar. falling,' 'atmospheric disturbance, passing in an oblique line over Southern Europe,' and 'pressure increasing,' to very much upset us: and so, finding that he could not make us wretched, and was only wasting his time, he sneaked the cigarette that I had carefully rolled up for myself, and went."

It is 30C and raining at Mumbai, India.
I wish the rain would stop now. It has been same since Monday.

OK, Barlog, you win. Or lose, depending on your outlook, I guess...

Whoa! I was just stating a fact along with my opinion about it. I do not hate rain. But continuous rain over here results in long traffic jams, which almost doubles the time to commute within the city.

Fair enough.

Hot and sticky in Houston. It was still 82F at 1am this morning.
