Re: WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER

Just reading in our local on-line circular that an emergency warning [alarm level 3] and phone number has been issued by the province: Expected actual temp peaks of 40C [104F] for the next 48 hours, 65% humidity. Shutting down comps as this is bound to cause power spikes people switching their airco's to max [Hospitals/medical centers are given priority, leading to blackouts elsewhere]. We're going up the mountain again... factor 50 suncream... UV has been brutal the last weeks.


I do not envy you. Sounds positively unbearable.

Cheers

Re: WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER

That bites. This has to be the weirdest year for weather. Looks like we will be in the 70's F for most of this week. Try to stay cool sek.

Re: WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER

And on the weather, which here continues flat line, hot hot hot and humid [65%], in short 'scorchio', was reading about a new world record extreme, which before stood at Mecca, Saudi Arabia [where it's always hot]. Needles, Mohave valley had 108F, 10% humidity, and flash rain, which is like a chance in a zillion. http://www.wunderground.com/weather-forecast/92363 which may have something to do with the US redeveloping dust bowl [except much bigger this time]... dust as catalyzer for moist in the mid troposphere.

Re: WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER

Today and for the next few days we are the recipients of some cool Canadian air - 50F to 75F(10C to 22C) for lows and highs. We have been lucky here to have had some timely rains so it is green here yet. Further south into the Corn Belt it is much drier. It was supposed to rain last night but it fizzled out before it arrived here.

Re: WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER

Just our usual: 37°, roma, sereno

(serenely boiling [like frogs are said to show in labs])

We had the hydraulic plumber coming in to fix a not much used outdoors tap that started leaking some week ago at the rate of about 30 liters/day/1 cubic month/12 cubic annual (we put a big bucket underneath and emptied it now and then onto the ornamental plants, to put it to use. He came in 8:15 AM. By 8:30 he was gushing at the same rate, sweat that is, and by 8:45 when finished machining a new copper/brass piston end [this is old stuff], he was ready for a long cold shower. What had really broken was the secondary rubber sealing in the tap... just fallen apart into little grains.

Must have been really old or the hot weather got to it so it died prematurely.

Re: WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER

Here's a little graphic I posted over in "the other thread"

Puts things in perspective a tad



Same latitudes

Re: WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER

From memory Sek don't you live somewhere around the laces of the boot of Italy - sort of level with Kansas?

So it is going to be hot at this time of year isn't it

Or did I miss something

You shouldn't complain we have hardly seen a blue sky this year in the UK

Most of the rain of the Olympic fortnight managed to circle around London.

Today we have a brief respite before the deluge begins again

Enjoy Italy I loved it while I was there. It was the first place I have been to where people decide which side of a building they should walk down dependant on the angle of the Sun. It was like an oven in July and pleasantly warm (to an Englishman) in January biggrin

Re: WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER

Hasn't there been a big turnaround in the Temps across the USA since July?

Re: WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER

Even though Minnesota is about the same latitude as France or the Balkans, we have a continental type climate, meaning hotter summers and colder winters, on average because we do not have the mitigating factor of a large body of water nearby (Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea). Nether does Kansas. You are comparing apples and oranges - Mediterranean Climate vs. Continental Climate. Great Britain too is the recipient of the warming waters of the Gulf Stream in the winter and the tempering effect in the summer.
