Weather Topic 2: THE REVENGE!!!

Had a morning rain here in Dallas. While it was nice to wake up to, the heat index will be up to about 40C/104F from the humidity it brought in. Oof.

Extreme Heat warnings for the next few days across the south of England/Wales. The current record high for June was 35.6C set in 1976 they think 38C is a distinct possibility!

Further to this they are now predicting 39C on Wed or Thu. And temps across the south and west of Europe are generally 15C above the norm!

That is deadly heat - and since it doesn't typically cause property damage, heat waves don't get tagged as natural disasters here in the USA. Is it a similar case in other nations?

Life-threatening floods today in counties along the Red River. I'm safe where I am, but it's going to possibly be a year of record rains and floods in Texas with the El Niño we have going.

Bit cooler day here today...only 18C (64F) with a breeze. But that's okay...still nice weather...and no rain.

I see there's a general break in the Euro heat later this week, that's good for them.

Texas is gonna be Texas as we head into July. Blackout drapes on my office window so I don't boil in the afternoon.

Just been announced on the news that the hottest part in the country as of about 1pm today is Thorney Island... that's about 2 miles from me... Aaaagh!!

While I sit here and worry about KDC's melting point, Z's buoyancy, and Charger's unusually nice weather (a trap of some sort, no doubt), the weather remains oddly Finland-like here in the middle of the midwestern United States.

My area's well-compensated meteorologist had been calling for rain today, for the past five days. If a 20 C high temperature and sunny skies, with a few puffy white clouds, is considered, "raining all day," then his forecast was perfect!
