Weather Topic 2: THE REVENGE!!!

[Zzzptm]

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!

I will not hate you because your weather is beautiful.

Nice and warm day 20C (66F) and now we're having some very light rain...drizzle one might call it...

[Typhon]

Nice and warm day 20C (66F) ...

Yikes!  That sounds chilly.
Has been in the 80s everyday this week.  Now that's nice and warm.

80F is too hot already...and sunday and monday we will also be getting there as the remains of the west european heatwave arrive...

20-25C (66-77F) is the temp range I enjoy the most.

My favorite range, we get that in Texas in early-mid Spring and mid-late Fall. And a few weeks of Winter, usually.

But from here to about mid-September, looks like we'll be having a standard Texas summer. Highs over 100F for most days and highs from 95-99F on days it ain't over 100. It's an El Niño year, so we should get a fair amount of rain, and that can help cool things off when it happens... but we'll have all that in humidity when it's over.

[Charger]

Well as promised today we got over 28C (82F)....bit too warm for me...But it is beautifully sunny.

Been watering plants and spraying the greenhouse plants with a water sprayer and that's about it.

I read where there are thousands of folks that have died in France due to a heat wave central Europe has been experiencing for the past week and a half or so. I talked to a gal I know in Prague and she confirmed it's hot as hell. Her apartment doesn't have AC due to it's age (in the USA, when someone says that it usually means the place is a hundred years old or so. Any older and it's called, "historic" which means anytime from the mid 1700s to the mid 1800s). Her place was built in 1420.

Said she has been laying on the tile floor in front of her front door, with a fan blowing on her. I said, "hold on a sec" and walked away from the video chat. I came back and said I had to turn my thermostat up a notch because it was getting a little chilly and I didn't want to put on a jacket inside my house. She tried to reach through the internet and choke me
