What's the Weather like where you live?

[BLEmom]

I’m over trying to research a city I could drive to for sunny 70 degree temps….even Florida will be overcast all this coming week. 
I want remote work so I can leave the country every winter….i need to get warm and there aren’t any good infrared places around here.  😭

70 degrees here and sunny with a few high clouds.

O well… 100 C is boiling temperature…. Unless you mean that strange measurement in F that most countries do not use …. lol 😂😂😂🙈

It warmed up a tad currently 20°

[hatcheckgirl]

43c expected today 🥵🥵 Last day of low 40c temperatures for a while.

Some information on temperatures: 

 

Temperature Scales
Very simply, where the Fahrenheit scale is used, such as in the United States, 40 degrees is cold, not far above the freezing point of water. But in Europe, where the Celsius scale is commonly used, 40 degrees registers a temperature that is swelteringly hot. In this article we will only consider these two scales used by the general public. Where did the Fahrenheit and the Celsius temperature scales come from?
In 1714 Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit, a German physicist, used a mercury thermometer to devise a temperature scale. He determined three fixed points. He wanted the zero point on his scale to be as low as possible. So he mixed ice, water, and a kind of salt, and the temperature of the mixture dropped down to the lowest point he could then obtain. That temperature became 0 degrees on his scale. After that, Fahrenheit selected the temperature of a healthy human body as the upper point on his scale. He set this temperature at 96 degrees. (However, since then the body temperature of a healthy human has been found to be about 2 1/2 degrees higher than what he arbitrarily set.) To obtain the third fixed point, he measured the freezing point of water and found it to be 32 degrees. Later, the scale was applied to the boiling point of water. The temperature turned out to be 212 degrees at sea level, which Fahrenheit later proposed as the upper point on his new scale.
A contemporary of Gabriel Fahrenheit was Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, who lived from 1701 to 1744. In 1742 Celsius devised a temperature scale that is also identified by its inventor’s name. The scale is based on two fixed points: 0 degrees is the freezing point of water, and 100 degrees is the boiling point of water at sea level. Since Celsius divided his thermometer into 100 equal parts, it is also known as the centigrade temperature scale. The Celsius scale is used wherever metric units have become accepted.
Since both the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales are in common use today, it is often necessary to convert from one to the other. How is this done? Well, note that the difference between the boiling point and the freezing point of water on the Fahrenheit scale is 180 degrees (212 degrees minus 32 degrees). But on the Celsius scale, it is 100 degrees. Therefore, the ratio between the two scales is 180/100, or 9/5.
Thus, to change from Fahrenheit to Celsius, first subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature. Then multiply the difference by 5/9. As an example, say the Fahrenheit temperature is a sweltering 104 degrees. To arrive at the Celsius temperature, subtract 32 from 104, which gives 72. Then multiply 72 by 5/9. The result is 40, which is the Celsius temperature. Indeed, 40 degrees Celsius is sweltering!
On the other hand, to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you need to multiply the degrees Celsius by 9/5 and then afterward add 32. So, as an example, say the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius. What does that equal on the Fahrenheit scale? Multiplying 20 by 9/5, you get 36. By adding 32 to 36, you arrive at the Fahrenheit temperature of 68 degrees.

26 degrees feels like 14 with wind. 🌬️

It was 30 F midday yesterday, but without the wind.  Hubs is working on installing a wood burning stove.  I’ll be glad when he’s able to complete it. I’d hate to be without heat this time of the year.

Our Southern States (Downunder) should be our coolest. Currently set to get close to 40C (104f). 

Yes, it is our summer, but 40C is too hot!

It's going to be a stinker of a day. (See #7 on the list below)

The purple/lilac in the centre is 44C or 113f

Not again...
We have extra Metro shifts to cover the Australia Open Tennis currently held in Melbourne.

"The Victorian capital is expected to be the hottest major city on Monday with long weekend temperatures building up to reach 40C [104f] before a relieving cool change could drop temperatures significantly for the city's "four seasons in one day".

Before storms started up firing and bringing in some cooler temps.

 

 

Sydney is about 20 degrees cooler and 10 degrees in the western parts.

 

 

However, where I am, it is still above 40 degrees celcius

[pnutts]

The weather outside is frightful. ⛷️. Snow, snow, snow. Our meeting on Wednesday was on zoom and Canada Branch visit on Saturday was on zoom in London and most of southern Ontario. Visiting brother mentioned it in his talk about travel restrictions due to snow. 2 storms this week. The weekend storm started early Saturation and is just slowing down Sunday evening, however our area is having snow squalls especially north of city.

[Sheep]

Here too. Two snowstorms in a row!!! Same meeting arrangements as @pnutts above last week and this past weekend.

 

Here's what my street looks like.

For the past week or so we,ve been under either a winter storm warning or advisory. Our storm warning changed to an advisory till 7 am this morning and now has been extended till 7 pm tonight 😬😬

 

I only did the back path this morning and will have to do the driveway a little later.

 

O well, with the kind of weather they’re having down south I really shouldn’t grumble. But the path’s banks are so high from throwing snow, I have to heave it over or have to pick it up a second time 😡. The first time is bad enough.   is bad enough. 😤.   🤪🤪🤪🤪

At the moment, pretty cool for being the later parts of summer, being about 24-29°C, where normally it would be in the high 30's and low 40's. But we had some rain and still very humid, which is unusual for us. But the grass is loving it though, as I am mowing somewhere each afternoon. 

[Dustparticle]

Global warming is back. It is 27 degrees outside.

That's my favorite temperature.....in C (Just a reminder, that most of the world measures temperature in Celsius, so please American friends convert it for us 🙂) 

[MullumMiss]

Rained all night….5.26am Sat still raining here in Northern NSW, Australia.  We are known to have good rainfall each year.  Very rarely do we have to water the garden or lawn.  

[pnutts]

<<I want remote work so I can leave the country every winter.>>

 

hmmm I thought that was now a no no in the US eh.

 

You could come to Canada. We are starting of a heat wave.

Supposed to get above freezing for a few days. Normal is just below freezing however

 

it has been COLD!!!!!! -10 C ( 14 F ) wind chill - 19 C ( -2 F ) some days even colder.🥶

Well, was almost a week ago I said that we are having a oool period, but yesterday it was 35°C, today just on 40°C, and the next two days around 35°C. Summer is going out with a bang!

Battening down the hatches atm in anticipation for Cyclone Alfred.  Woolworths was hectic this afternoon as many residents live in the hills and outer areas where they could be flooded in.  Rained and windy with sunshine at times during today.  Quite calm atm almost like the calm before the storm.  We have a 40min drive to hall so we have decided to Zoom meeting tomorow night rather than drive.  Will keep y’all posted.

About 5 years ago, this area had a record-breaking rainfall.  Since that time there has been drought.  This area has lots of cornfields.  Last year the corn crop did so poorly that the farmers were hoping to break even on their crops.  

 

There was a wildfire in Carolina Forest, SC (just west of Myrtle Beach) recently.  Several people had to evacuate. It is now under control snf people are allowed to go back home.
