Re: weather??
 

Just spent 11 days in Turkey, were the temperture hit 53, think lowest was around 40. Usually go at the end of July and have known it as hot as it was this year. Not complaining though.

One of my grandsons is at Squam Lake New Hampshire -teaching the yanks rifle shooting for the second year running.
I have looked on google earth and that is the same latitude as you Eric.
The lad is fair skinned and will be feeling the heat in a log cabin.

Re: weather??
 

It's been like a steam bath here for about three weeks now, and the air quality is poor ... it gets like this when we get the polluted air from the US, particularly the coal-fired generating plants in Ohio. We are hoping for a good shot of clean Canadian air from the north ... we had a cold front rush through on Saturday. This sparked a 10 min. storm that uprooted trees and dumped hail the size of golf balls on the city.

I have been asked why i have not mentioned the weather here recently, mainly because it is still very warm, verging on hot. The winter is very slowly creeping in. The temperature at this time is 76f/16c. I am now off out in a sleeveless top and shorts. :hothothot:hothothot:hothothot :D

SF/Bay Area weather is crazy , last two days in flannel and fleece during daytime , today back to shorts and a tee shirt, we have had rain in both September and October which screwed up the Napa Valley grape harvest , rain not usually seen until at least Thanksgiving (late November)

Re: weather??

Re: weather??

Thought I'd resurrect this page ... we haven't talked about the weather in a long time. Maybe it's because your weather has been as stimulating as a sermon on the commutation of tithes. As you can see, weather can be fun;) And I think I'll open a Bomber and sit on my deck, and enjoy the show.

Re: weather??
 

I don,t think they want to know we're having a heatwave Eric.

Re: weather??
 

well ours is consistent............still crap.

Hey we had sunshine last Thursday:rolleyes: but its been crap ever since

Re: weather??
 

Wow, Eric. We have forecasts for the South,SE,SW,NW,NE etc. Probably about 10 altogether and all the same-WET.
You have 271 separate forcasts(added up in a moment of boredom)-is Canada BIG?

Re: weather??
 

Been up and out early on a Sunday morning - the bells are ringing for mass in the village and the sky is blue, looks set for a beautiful autumn day. You can see the Alps this morning, capped in white, we've had the first snow of the year!

Re: weather??
 

Sun won't be up for a while here .... had to get up to one of my dogs her meds ... a little foggy, but it seems it will clear up and we will have a nice sunny fall day, with temps around 22c. Not bad for late September.:D

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

As we speak: 25c, low humidity, gentle breeze, cloudless skies ... aaahhhh.:D And tomorrow, with a little more humidity, could hit 30c. But, a month and a half from now I could be shovelling ... maybe sooner, October snow is not rare.:mad:

Re: weather??
 

Ya mean you'll be donning the tennis racquet shoes next month then Eric:D

Re: weather??
 

Don't know if it will be next month; but I was out on my front porch having my first cup of coffee of the day and there were flights of geese heading south ... not a good sign. Squirrels seem to be stocking up on the groceries. Summer is definitely winding down. It's been a good one; a few days when it was just too hot and muggy, but overall, not bad at all.:hothothot

Re: weather??
 

Lovely here again today -blue skies and warm sunshine (23°C) in the afternoon -went for a round trip of 8 km on my bike -part of a "keep healthy" campaign. Lots of Moorhen on the canal and the leaves are just starting to turn -i love Autumn.
Wouldn't mind a wet windy walk along the Leeds-Liverpool canal though....very invigorating!
Only downside of the day -a visit to the dentists.....:(
Plus my laptop keeps blue-screening!

Re: weather??
 

Well the good old weather is set fair here in blighty for the next 5 days, will be partaking of some rays and fresh air this after down town in sunny Accy:mosher:

Re: weather??
 

I have my mobile aircon machine running for the last two days.
It is bulky to store for most of the year, but a blessing at times like this.
I get heat from the shallow roof space so every room get too hot for comfort.

Re: weather??
 

I thought one frosty look from you would have been enough to cool things down;)

Re: weather??
 

Margaret must have been looking this way;) ... it's been damn cold for the past couple of days. The geese are starting to head out in their thousands.

I asked a friend of mine, an Algonquin indian, if he knew if the winter would be a hard one. His response: "Hey, paleface, watch the weather chanel like I do." So much for Indian lore.:D

Re: weather??
 

Must be quite a sight to see the migration of the geese. Here in Italy the weather is great -28°C in the afternoon but there's an autumny feel with leaves falling. Went along the canal today on my bike -great place for freeing the mind and thinking. There are lots of Moorhen this year as well as the usual ducks. Kept my eyes open as I have seen a Kingfisher there once last year -amazing, he wasn't around today though. Have only ever seen one before over 30 yrs ago while out walking with my dad along the Ribble down near Whalley Nab...

Re: weather??
 

The geese are amazing ... but I am already looking forward to spring when they come back;) ... the corn harvest is in full swing, and there's nothing geese like better than corn ... so most of them will be around for a few weeks yet. We don't have any kingfishers here; but there are quite a few cardinals in the neighbourhood ... and the bluejays of course.:mad: The leaves are turning ... the fall colors in this part of the world take one's breath away. We may have frost next wednesday; that means that the nice weather that will probably come after it will be our Indian Summer.:alright: And Canadian Thanksgiving is on October 10. Hunting season just around the corner. And hockey is back. This is a great time of year.:D

Re: weather??
 

Just can't get the Indians these days can you Eirc:D

Re: weather??
 

Nature is a wonderful thing -puts everything back into perspective, what seems big is actually small in the grand scale of things....
Didn't realise the 10th was Thanksgiving in Canada -I will also be celebrating, but just another birthday! We are due to continue with the good sunny weather till then according to the forecasts ...in the meantime I'll keep getting out on the bike and conversing with nature (it can't refuse to listen!):thankya:

Re: weather??
 

October the 10th is St Lukes day....and a sunny warmish spell around this date is referred to as 'St Luke's Little Summer'.........I like the Autumn colours, but it fills me with dread that later on in the month we will put the clocks back by an hour and we will have shorter days.......dark when we get up and dark early in the afternoon.
It makes me want to hibernate until the end of March.

Re: weather??
 

Never heard of "St. Lukes Little Summer" how quaint! Hope you get another one over in the UK too -I believe you've had a good spell recently.
I love it when the days draw in -cosy evenings and frosty breath in the morning, wonderful:D

Re: weather??
 

Friday and Saturday were warm and sunny...yesterday was grey and gloomy but not cold...today it is a bit indifferent.

Many people do not know about St Luke's Little Summer. I like to do a bit of educating, when I can.

Re: weather??
 

It is always a good day when you have learned something new -so for today - I thank you!:)

Re: weather??
 

Remember the last line of "Ode to the West Wind": "If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind. Obviously, Shelley didn't live in Canada:eek:

Re: weather??
 

I have a good view of two mature trees from my lounge window - a scandinavian maple and a sycamore.

For the nine years I have lived here, the sycamore has always dropped its leaves before the maple.

This year the maple is changing colour first - strange:confused:

Re: weather??
 

Talking of Kingfishers ... although there are none right in the city of course, one can find them in Frontenac Park, just north of here .... I'll be heading there next monday, Thanksgiving Day.

Frontenac

Re: weather??
 

Thanksgiving is not on the same day every year; it is celebrated on the second monday in October. Which means it gives us a long weekend so that Canadians can indulge in that traditional Canadian pastime: drinking lots of beer.:thepint::thepint::thepint::thepint:

Re: weather??
 

9.20pm -It is supposed to be 14C outside right now(per BBC), and it hasn't been particularly sunny today, yet my wall thermometer is at 28C, and I have got my aircon machine on again trying to get the temp down to 24C.
I find this very unexplainable. The man in the flat below me is not home, and has been out since midday, so he can't be using his heating.:confused:

Re: weather??
 

Out of interest what temp is it now Margaret?

Re: weather??
 

I only got up an hour ago and flung the window wide open - thermometer reads 22C.
