How's the Weather?

What's the weather like at your place today?

As we have been enjoying sharing what our day is like,
in another thread- I have decided to start this thread-
“How's the Weather?”

It is really interesting to hear what sort of a day we have,
in our different localities around the World.

For me, here today, there is not enough sun and too
much cloud- but at least the rain has gone and it's
not too cold :)

Re: How's the Weather?

Hi Sandy

It's 7.52am in England, it's dull, heavy grey cloud and a little windy…
We did get chance yesterday to go out for a bike ride in the morning, before it went really cool and very windy, with a few showers.  I noticed the roses were blooming - the sun on Sunday must have given them a nudge in the right direction!

Re: How's the Weather?

7:40pm here in Kaikoura, New Zealand - cold with a light southerly - has been overcast all day - fire is on, and winter has arrived - snow on the hills.

Re: How's the Weather?

Thanks Ted for your weather report, think it helps us all to “link in” to our environment and to each other…

Re: How's the Weather?

after last week being about 106 so about 95 in unairconditioned room, the rain on thurs was sheer delight! and the next day stayed cool too… it warmed over the weekend, not sure what it got to today, but my room at 2:18 am is nice at 80 with the doors open to let the cool air thru… without looking at the weather report tho, it is still probable that the rest of the week will be about 100, and this is only the beginning and the humidity is low… will be melting here mid july thru mid sept. so not too much change in the desert of arizona!!! the shutters and curtains are all closed up during the heat of the days!!! tell me more details about the winters, altho I dont like cold, it sounds good when I am sweating away! and that's it for tonite folks… enjoy your days! and nites, wherever you are! peacelovelight… and to a variety of climates, what a great idea here! thanks!

Re: How's the Weather?

Its 8.55pm here and cool not cold. Outside has that fresh damp clean smell of late autumn. The rabbits are digging like crazy, sand everywhere. If they pop up in your garden send them back will you. While they could escape they choose not to at present. Not sure what their plan is, maybe digging north for winter or just renovating. Maybe they just want a cellar to keep their carrots in.

The wind has dropped and the rain stopped. Not sure if the storms are over or just a lull.

Re: How's the Weather?

Daily it is too hot here. Last night , there was a little rain. It is like that during may, here where we live.We are in Sri Lanka at the southern end of our capital city.

Re: How's the Weather?

There's such variety with the weather - it's 20 degrees c or 68 degrees F in our house, so pretty cool … barometer says 1020, humidity just over 70 (England)

Re: How's the Weather?

It's cooler than usual here - day time temperatures have varied between about 9 and 20 C and nighttimes are still cold. Going to rain the rest of the week they say…

Re: How's the Weather?

Here around the Toronto region it's a tropical rain drizzle, but not as warm as the tropics.  It will be a high today of only 18.  We're looking at this weather for the next two days, and sunny with a high of 22 on Friday and 19 for the weekend.  I get to plant my garden….yeah:-))

Re: How's the Weather?

It must be boring being a weather guy in San Francisco?
This time of year it's cool ( 55-65) and cloudy (coastal fog) and winter it's cold (45-55) and rain or gonna rain. Of course here if you want hot you drive east and in about 30-40 minutes you go from 55-65 to 80-100 and no clouds.
So today's specifics?
I'm sitting on the 3rd floor of a building in the Mission district of SF looking out to the Northwest, the sun is almost directly overhead and the buildings I can see are tossing almost no shadows at all. The sky overhead is a pale blue fading into a white/gray bank of fog hanging about 10 blocks west of here. The buildings on that end of town are gone, dissipated into the fog. There is a slight westerly breeze slipping through the west-east oriented streets, but the sun is bright and warm. When I look down on the white, slightly rusted roof of the single story PG&E storage sheds just across the street and below, I have to squint because the light is too bright.  In a minute I'll leave here and walk a few blocks to go find lunch and the gray pinstriped jacket unbuttoned will feel just right when the breeze blows into the open front and slightly warm when the breeze is blocked and the sun shines on the dark fabric.

Re: How's the Weather?

Much like my Arizona neighbor … Sunny & hot here in Las Vegas … around 92ºF upstairs and 88ºF downstairs, and about 95ªF in the shadows outside and its just getting started this morning.

Thankfully, we have some clouds tumbling over the mountains here in the Valley, so it looks like we'll get a bit of cloud relief from the Sunshine so perhaps not getting as hot as it would if those huge billowy clouds did not blow over on the light but steady breeze to visit and bring us just a tad of humidity.

AND, who knows, maybe we will be treated to a lightning show later this evening!  One of my more favorite things about living in Las Vegas!


= )  weather is very cool … i admit, i am a recovering weather channel junkie!

peace & harmony,

Re: How's the Weather?

Well after alternating sunny then rainy periods, everywhere is looking lush and green and growth is rampant, including the weeds, lol, the forecast is for more sun now starting tomorrow and over the weekend so I'm looking forward to working and relaxing in the garden. Temps 20C + S E coast of UK

Re: How's the Weather?

wow what a great weather channel. 
Its 7.15 am and pleasantly cool autumn day here on the east, central coast of Australia. Looking out the front door, birds twittering, doves cooing, just took some photos. Some pretty cloud formations in the east over the sea. About 18C.

Re: How's the Weather?

It is amazing how much closer I feel to you all, with your descriptions
and “weather report”s I feel we are sharing our lives more and I love that.
SO very happy to see all the new posts this morning -it has given me a big
lift to my day, already!

In Brisbane this morning (9.33 am) -the sun is shining ,the birds are singing
and the peak hour traffic is over!
We are aiming for 23 degrees C and although that is a little cool for us
Queenslander's -we will adjust!
A beautiful day for a walk, I am thinking :)

Re: How's the Weather?

Today clear blue skies , just a few contrails, the birds are singing their little hearts out, everywhere sparkles green and lush, and looks spring cleaned. Too beautiful to lay in bed, I was up at 6am, two lines of washing already drying in gentle breeze, its warm and going to be hot.The ducks are splashing in their pond and sharing their joyful exhuberence, and the poplars are whispering sweet nothings. Wow, what a beautiful day, wish you could all share.

Re: How's the Weather?

Hi Zephyr - our weather in the North West of England is damp - night showers - very dull, grey cloudy and a brisk breeze - temp indoors 69 F - it did brighten up a little yesterday afternoon, so I took a few pictures of the tangerine rambler rose in my garden… hope it brightens up later today……

Re: How's the Weather?

Its 8.17 pm. Just stepped outside. The air feels cool and clean with a light rain. I can hear the kids practicing soccer on the oval at the bottom of the street. The plants look really happy in the wet.

Re: How's the Weather?

time for a song

Re: How's the Weather?

great rainbows Jenny!

perfect blue sky here, just before sunset… altho a few pink and purple clouds on the horizon. the crescent moon is shining bright already!
got to 99 I think outside, and when it dropped to 91 we opened up the doors and windows to let the breeze in. it is cooled by the watering of the golf course out back… inside i think is still in the high 80s… so a lovely day in the desert!
the ducks had a party in the yard… 3 females and 4 males who quickly shooed away the extra male. love their squaking and neck stretching and guarding their gals… the other birds were fed earlier too, so they are starting to settle down with their nitely singing/calling  to each other, another day…
and in the other room, roomie is playing the cowboy junkies. perhaps we will sit outside again to enjoy the evening and take a break from the computer as the darkness of nite slowly surrounds us and all is quiet again…
I have no idea of what tomorrow will be, but usually more of the same!

Re: How's the Weather?

Well, we got through most of the day, without the forecast showers,
in fact it was quite sunny.
But now it is overcast, with a few sprinkes of rain -which doesn't
bode well for the approaching weekend!
At almost 4 pm, it is also quite dim and the nights are definetly closing
in on us.
Only 2 more days of Spring left -boo hoo- and then we will offically
in Winter,though June is usually not toooo cold -well here's hoping!

I am entranced with the posts on our thread here and the stories
about your places coming with them :)

Re: How's the Weather?

woke to the sun shining today, but a little mist first thing, pretty warm in the back part of the house (the heat comes through from the conservatory which faces NE) nice and cool here in the living room. 

lovin' rainbows
Tai

Re: How's the Weather?

Sounds delightful. We're getting a steady downpour here… 3 days of rain :)

Re: How's the Weather?

Its a bit cold outside and dark too. Here's a song

Re: How's the Weather?

oh good idea Jenny - the weather here is this Beatles song :)

Re: How's the Weather?

I got up this morning and its raining heavily. The rabbits arent very happy. They are hiding in their mezzanine floor. Its a nice day though, no wind, just rain. I heard the kookaburras going off this morning. They seem to enjoy rain or maybe they were complaining. Am going off to get my hair cut this morning.

Re: How's the Weather?

Hi, it's sunny in England!!

Re: How's the Weather?

Love those old Beatles songs and the clouds in that video Tai fantastic.
Here are some pics from my walk on the beach this morning after my hair cut. The rain let up long enough for the dogs to have some fun and me to take some photos then just as we decided we had enough it started raining again. ;-D The lagoon had opened out into the sea with the rough weather.

Re: How's the Weather?

and another

Re: How's the Weather?

ah, how amazing to live near such a gorgeous beach… mmm… 

the rain has let up here but we're still obscured by clouds…

Re: How's the Weather?

Just wonderful Jenny, I love your beach pics -just been out in the garden, planting out beetroot and watering.  This morning the weather was perfect, sunny, warm, breezy, so we went for a bike ride…

Re: How's the Weather?

Hi Nicole - clever use of the video, it's amazing how we feel when looking at different clouds, or no clouds at all…

Re: How's the Weather?

ah, a bike ride and sunny weather! how lovely!

Re: How's the Weather?

as the gray clouds promising showers blanket our skies, the sun tries to burn through to bring us back to 100ºF+ temperatures, but the water laden clouds have not relented on this second day of relief in the their shadows!  as they take their showers and rain to the rocky mountains, we thank them for holding back the heat rays for another day … and, just so they know, if they wanted to, we would really enjoy a rain shower here in the nevada desert too and would welcome it with open arms and a splash dance too.

Re: How's the Weather?

In Mpls, MN in the upper midwest( we use to be the Great Northwest when I was a child until somebody admitted that Seattle really deserves that moniker) it is gorgeously sunny, cloudless, with a constant following breeze out of the nw keeping the 80's temps feeling like the 70's. We had rain in the early overnight hours and the winds are chasing the weak low front. Rare to get a cloudless afternoon so all the more stunningly sunny. Out to do yoga and meditate in it.
And I just want everyone to know that I am very, very proud to be from a place that prides itself in being nice. MN nice.

Re: How's the Weather?

Nice -ilung-that you too are so proud -as I am too, of my place-
where we also take pride in being nice!

The weather however is not so nice today -although still around 23 deg,
the wind is up and the sun is faltering!

It is strange to see some still walking around in sleeveless tops
and light clothing, while we a rugged up already-
we say they must be Southerner's ,when we see them out and about
dressed that way!

Re: How's the Weather?

Bright, sunny morning, pretty hot and sticky in the night - temp indoors 71 F/21 C, barometer reads 1030, up from 1020 on Wednesday.  Started getting my big pot ready for the second lot of runner beans - had to remove the Chervil as it was going over and take out some of the old compost and kill vine weevil grubs - yuk!!

The wisteria has finished flowering now but it was a sheer delight this year, lots of blooms, but went over pretty quickly with the wet and windy weather we'd been experiencing

Hi there iljung, thanks for joining the weather report…

Re: How's the Weather?

still a little on the cool side but sunny yay! 

Re: How's the Weather?

Hi friends,

Wheater report from the Netherlands, at least the western part which we call Holland. It's been very changeable, last week terrible wheater, heavy thunderstorms with mansoon like rains and chilly wheater and the last copple of days it's just been perfect. To me perfect is warm, nice warm not to hot: like 24-25 Celsius (mid seventies F) .There is a firm breeze, but it keeps it nice. Sat out on a sidewalk terrace and got some sun, while my daughter and friends went out swimming in the lake.
To me this is the kind of wheater i'd like to have all year around Lol. Not too hot, so you can still DO things. When it gets really hot over here it's usually also very humid, which makes it hard to bear. We're gona have a copple more nice days but by wednesday it's drop again low until around 16 C. (60 F) which is too cold for the time of year but to keep a positive outlook: good wheater to work in the garden.

Here is a temp converter for convenience :

Re: How's the Weather?

What a lovely lot of posts since I last looked in. Its still overcast and cool here and about 15' C. I'm enjoying it. Finding it restful after summers heat, not that it gets as hot here as it did in Canberra when I lived there. Canberra has a dry heat which I like. Here on the coast its humid and can be even in winter. I dont enjoy the humidity so much. 

Here is another photo of the lagoon, showing how it carved a big section of the beach out after the waves came in and let it go free.

Re: How's the Weather?

Thanks so much for the temp.converter, Alluvja-
a great idea-!

Great photo Jenny -amazing how much erosion waves can cause-
it has been really bad on our coastlines up here too.

Well, today is showery and chilly -hello Winter !!!
15 to about 21 deg forecast- but doubt if we will reach that?

Re: How's the Weather?

9.04am and it's been a hot night again (for England that is!) it's the warmest morning since the sunny weather started on Friday - about 75 F today, nice blue sky - would love to dip my toes in the Aussie sea to cool down.  It's a little hot for drumming, but the bike ride was good yesterday, I'm gradually building up to a longer one, but when the weather cools down, which could be tomorrow….

Re: How's the Weather?

Its 6.30am and very dark still and raining solidly most of the night. Hope the bunnies dont float away. Had them in the garage for a few nights and thought it would be less wet last night. The holes they dug have filled up with water so they have a swimming pool in their back yard. They seem pretty snug in their mezzanine though.

Its funny Sandy how the sand gets carved away but here at least in another week or two it will have all filled in again. Gets shifted from place to place and back. I think its when we start building structures, houses etc on the dunes that the balance is interrupted and it washes away in storms never to return. 
The earth has an amazing ability to self heal given the chance a bit like our bodies. I think sometimes we get in the way of healing. We need to have faith in the self righting aspects of the earth and life in general. We probably interfere too much.

Re: How's the Weather?

Its getting light now and the kookaburras are having a good old laugh.

Re: How's the Weather?

kookaburras laughing

Re: How's the Weather?

Fantastic idea Jenny -posting up the Kookaburra's laughing!!
Now our overseas friends can hear them and laugh along too!!

I love them and we often get them in our yard -I always stop to hear them laugh!

After a bit of clear sky this morning, it is raining again here -
so it will be a wet State of Origin game tonight-
go the Queenslanders !!

Re: How's the Weather?

Jenny: I was about to come say that I'd never heard a kookaburra before, and then you posted the video below. Thank you!

Re: How's the Weather?

Lets spare a thought for those experiencing the brunt of Global warming, them today and us tomorrow unless we act now, check out these blogs

Re: How's the Weather?

Thanks for the links Zephyr - it's coolish and overcast today, a little cooler in the night too, the weathermen were right for once!  Those Kookaburras sure can raise the roof with their laughter!!

Re: How's the Weather?

I love the kookaburras. They always make me smile. They remind me of childhood holidays and weekends for some reason. Siona I was thinking maybe some people didnt know what they sound like so went looking on Youtube. I never cease to be amazed by the stuff that can be found on Youtube.
Zephyr thanks for the links. We have recently had waterspouts in the sea off Sydney and that is unusual. I'll check the links out now.

Re: How's the Weather?

It is 47 with frost and freeze warnings up north. Some places along the Canadian border get frost every month of the year. Highs in the 60's today with frost maybe in the suburbs tonight and a little warmer tomorrow. Had wonderful meditation with the birds in my zen sand garden. THe sand is so rejuvenating and supportive. I am the sand and my back scratcher is the rake.

Re: How's the Weather?

iljung we posted at the same time!!!  Hello, do you have any photos of your zen sand garden? Or is it a metaphorical garden?

Re: How's the Weather?

Hi iljung - do you know what line of latitude you are on, we're on about 53 degrees north - seems a lot cooler in your part of the world, when do your temperatures get to the 70's, it's quite rare here to have temps in the 80's.

Re: How's the Weather?

Hi Jen, we've done it again!!  maybe we should have a communal sand garden, and meditate together!!

Re: How's the Weather?

All I can contribute today is Wet,Wet,Wet !!
I am glad there are lovely posts here to read and cheer me up!

Also -time for a new thread, so away we go again-always think it a shame
we have to do this and hope like myself, other's do come back and read
through the previous thread and posts?
