catesta Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Pretty nice for a change; its in the 60's tonight! Glad to hear that, Ghost. I was getting worried about you sweltering away in that oppressive NE Ohio weather*. Thanks! This has been a weird summer so far. One week its near 100 degrees, then the next week its in the low 60's. I really do like the other seasons here, but the summers here are just nuts. Crazy summer weather for sure. I was in Hudson a couple of Sundays ago and we got hit with some serious rain driving in. The next day was clear so I decided to take the opportunity to put up a new mailbox for my parents. Just as I stood up the post and poured in the concrete, it started to rain extremely hard for maybe an hour. The rest of the evening was beautiful though and the mailbox stayed standing. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Temperatures soar to record high Press Assoc. - 1 hour 16 minutes agoTemperatures rose to 27.8C (82F) today - the hottest day of the year so far, Met Office weather forecasters said. (Advertisement) London and other parts of south east England, Cambridgeshire, East Anglia and the Midlands have seen the highest temperatures, while Northern Ireland and western parts of Scotland have missed out on the sunshine. A Met Office spokesman said: "I think it's squeaked it as the hottest day of the year, although we can't validate it yet. "It may even have risen a couple of points higher than the 27.8C recorded at the London Weather Centre." But the heat does not appear to have sent Britons flocking to the coast, according to motoring organisation the RAC. "The roads have been comparatively quiet," said an RAC spokesman. "People are really thinking about whether their journeys are necessary and trying to economise on fuel while prices are so high." The good weather is not expected to last until tomorrow, with thunderstorms forecast for this evening. John Hutchinson, a forecaster at MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "There is a risk of some thunderstorms in the South East and up into East Anglia this evening. It's uncertain how many are going to form but when they do there will be torrential downpours." The rest of the week is expected to see further showers, with a number of tennis matches at Wimbledon likely to be rained off. "There's certainly going to be rain tomorrow across London and disruption of Wimbledon is highly likely," said the Met Office spokesman. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pressass/20080701...gh-6323e80.html MG Quote

wulfman Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Friday started off hot and humid with dense cover of pollution. We just had a downpour now and it is still in the 30's. I hope they can do something about the pollution before the Olympics start. Quote

Willard Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Hot and humid. it is said there are chemikals that military use to terminate clouds. First they used it officially in Nam but I heard a story 'bout one dude who sold same stuff in 20s . Once he prormised some villagers to make rain for their crop but his stuff wasn't workin by some reason and angry rednecks captured him and lynched. The next day the village was wiped by havy flood. pretty sad story Edited July 6, 2008 by Willard Quote
