That sounds like NYC weather at night. Hot, murky, humid. Just add the noise of people, trucks, cars, subways and planes landing and you'd have my childhood neighborhood.Quote:

Sunny again today, temps expected to rise again later this week.
Sounds more like down here. We regularly see triple digits and 100% humidity here.Quote:

The way it's coming down at the moment, I expect most of it will end up in Yuma, along with a lot of my driveway.
The radar shows some turbulence down Kevin's way, too. He's liable to end up floating away to Douglas or Nogales.
yikes be careful. Dont YOU wind up in Yuma along with everything else
They won't let me in. Man, this has really gotten hairy. It was daylight just a bit ago, and now it's like midnight out. Kinda eerie, but very cool. We used to get storms like this every afternoon or night this time of year when I was a kid, but now, they are very rare. I can't believe all the close lightning. One right after the other for the last 20 minutes or so.Quote:

That's why it's called the high desert; for the view, not the euphoria.Quote:

Now I'm not complaining. I prefer a mild summer to a blazing hot one.Quote:

We've had a perfect summer. Highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, nights in the upper 40s to low 50s. Humid only in the early morning when the dew falls otherwise incredibly dry. WTF? Is this San Diego? Where's Summer???
It was crazy. We got 4.87 inches here. It was coming down at close to 2 inches per hour for awhile. I couldn't see 50 feet away. The flag pole broke, the vhf/uhf antenna mast bent, again, and just a shit ton of water everywhere. All the washes were running like I haven't seen in 20 years. There was a time before all the MF bridges were built over the washes, that with a rain like that, we would be stuck here for several days. Actually, it was a nice change.Quote:

Keep low, and have the kayak close by. Or the Hayek as the case may be. The stuff headed your way, is the disturbance that is supposed to help channel all the moisture from Mexico up through Arizona and points north. If it goes down that way, we'll get another gully washer, and with the ground over saturated as it is, more flooding will occur. We got 1/2 of our annual fall in one day yesterday. I don't think that is the way it's supposed to work, but who am I to bitch?Quote:

No, but I suspect she'd make a pretty good PFD (Personal Floatation Device).Quote:

So much for summer: Snow set to blast Scotland as forecasters warn of 'coldest August spell in a century'
Snow for Scotland
we have had anywhere from 3 to 10 inches of rain in the last 24hrs... and its still raining.
Here we have the same blocking as the USA had for months, the Jetstream is blocked and sending air from the northpole over the ocean to us and Schotland.
Pissing down 12 degrees C while it should be 23 C and sunny.
Nights 2 to 3 C north westernly wind over the North Sea that still is quite warm giving lots of rain.
110 mm from August now, notrmally 60 mm over the whole month.
The Old Farmer's Almanac has just come out with the forecast for the Northeast. More of last winter this winter.
Endless storms with arctic cold courtesy of the Polar Vortex...
Oh, well, hope the heater (which isn't working yet) holds out...
Given the historical accuracy of Old Farmer's Almanac weather predictions (around 50%, same as random guessing), I wouldn't sweat it.Quote:

While we are having blazing heat and humidity down here he's having much cooler and dryer weather up there. If you love hazy hot humid summer weather you moved to the wrong place. You should have gone further south.Quote:

Just how accurate are te Almanac’s past predictions? Over 80 percent.
When I was living in Brooklyn a normal summer was in the 100's. My friend up in the Adirondacks has been seeing temps in the 100's to 120's this year. We have been having average temps 30+ degrees lower down here this summer. Strange that this summer the north was much hotter than the south. We haven't even had a severe thunderstorm warning or a tornado watch this summer. However, I am expecting a very severe hurricane to hit Eastern NYC at the very beginning of November. It will be twice the size of Sandy and at least a category 5 or 6.
Leaves started falling from one of the trees here today. Brown ones. Does this mean fall is arriving? In August?
At best they are about as good as a coin flip. Actually a coin flip would be an improvement.Quote:
