Whats your weather right now?
- Thread starter I am Carbon
- Start date
100 F and headed, we are promised, to a stimulating >113 F, <10 % humidity, with 20 to 30 mph wind, and "highly likely" many unquenchable fires. Our previous digs in the hills are supposed to ascend to heaven as smoke. We, however, are by a big wet river among orchards, and harvesting apricots. I shall sally out on scooter when it's warm enough... 
Perhaps about 16:00, we'll see.

117 at 1630 with <10% humidity. Stayed home.
swimmin weather
We are promised another 117F. Very jolly! Nice and cool at dawn, we sat in the garden to watch it. Coffee and kerosene lantern and sleepy dogs.
Batten down the hatches!!
After the storm passed, my wife and I had dinner on the roof of a 10 story building overlooking the river. It was chilly up there. It’s strange to feel that way after days of seriously roasting.
@ 01:45 local it's like a cheap lay....warm, dark, quiet, and so humid it will rot flesh. Pretty soon hotter. Then maybe fist-fights among the nutslossenvolk and automobiles bangin' into one-another. Cop-o-tronic monitor says people go funny in daheads. Do stupids.

Nasty weather from hurricane beryl……about 40 miles from Galveston……hopefully it doesn’t sit on top of us and just pour rain…..
I grew up in the Houston/Galveston area and experienced plenty of hurricane/tropical storm rain. When I moved here in ‘93 the first time someone said it as raining really hard outside I had to look. Seemed like a Texas drizzle. Hardest rain I was ever in was in ‘81 going through the Panama Canal. I was the phone talker on the Focsle during sea and anchor detail and a squall came roaring in over Lake Gatun. Rain was coming down so hard it was pulling my pants down.
Scottish Borders, 9th July, cold and raining.
12°C which Google tells me is 53°F - cold for what is supposed to be Summer.

If that was here, it would mean it was winter.
An hours rain, stopped at 8:00. Sun immediately came out.
95° - 100° for a high today and here comes the real humidity.
Yuck! 90° in the plant already.

Beryl's tendrils are sneaking their way into our neck of the Ohio River Valley. Looks to be an interesting day ahead.
Feels like what a lazy hippopotamus probably feels to me

I’ve been waiting for over 24 hours for the 60mm downpour that’s supposed to hit us (tail end of the hurricane). So far my lawn sprinkler could do better. I’m pi$$ed about this because I stayed at home last evening and missed a great bike meet where it didn’t rain a drop and they had nothing but sunny skies. Dammed weather man
Weather forecasters do get to be mistaken on a daily basis.Dammed weather man
Politicians do get to be liars on a daily basis.
Rest of us just one day at a time what else can you do
Up at 6.00am this morning. Sun is out today and I'm taking the long route to work on The Brat (GS1200). 
Taffy (XS650) is still undergoing TCI replecement iggy testing surgery.
Merlin (GL1000) is still being recommisioned following aquisition after a 4 year lay up.
I'll be taking the long way home too; Maybe over Caerphilly mountain?
