    Is that off the North Sea? I find that winds off of water are not like any other kind of wind. We'd get them off the Atlantic in Brooklyn and it was like an invisible wall. Solid too.

    April, May and June are the hottest months of the year, in Guadalajara. It's supposed to reach 94°F (34° C) today, but the humidity is low and there's a bit of a breeze; so the heat isn't too bad. Just a few clouds in the sky.

    70 °F (21 °C) and sunny here with a breeze blowing in off the Pacific. Damned near perfect.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Yep, South west wind straight from the Channel ( North Sea) with the blue sky sunny and the antenna farm swaying about in the wind whistling and all, tthat was funny to see.
    Normally storms go with heavy clouds pissing down rain and all that nice stuff...

    I've always liked that kind of weather. I miss seeing a storm come in from the sea. There's a build-up much like a good book, then if it's a big one, BAM! Winds and rain. Great time for Clam Chowder and tea. That's the only thing I miss here in the hill country. The weather is more like what I used to see in NYC when I was a teenager though.

    Overcast again and barely hit 60°F (16°C). With the wind it felt more like 45°F (7°C).

    April showers bring snow, snow, snow. About 3' on the ground again.

    Yes, I have noticed that too. The Brooklyn winds were like brick walls. When I lived in East NY Brooklyn I experienced the winds that would come in off the Atlantic and the lower bay. They were unlike any winds I ever experienced anywhere. I remember riding my bike as a kid up by the Ridgewood Reservior and getting knocked over hard by a 25 mph wind coming in from the ocean. It was as if I rode into an invisible brick wall. Not to mention the hard gusts that would hit the buildings, smashing windows, breaking walls, and smashing cars leaving them as if they had a head on collision with an invisible truck. Living inland these days the winds are different. Winds rolling in over land don't pack anywhere near the punch of winds off water. I say for a 20 mph wind off water it would take an an 80 mph wind over land to match it in strength.. I feel its in a 4:1 ratio.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
