Cycled into and around town this morning but stopped on the way back to sit in the shade for a while and drink a cold bottle of soda water. It is not too bad in the morning but from about now [13.??] to about 16.30 it gets a bit too warm. I can do it and have done it but it is not much fun.

Really news people, really....
It's -45 in Montana, 7 in Atlanta, and 27 here, but you have to point out that it's FREEZING in Miami with a low of...51??
Seriously, we would love to have that as a low, and I'm sure many places would love to have that as a high.

Well, it's been pretty cold here in Sydney too - I had to change out of my shorts into longer trousers because it is only 18C (about 65F) when it was closer to 30C (about 85F) the other day. January should be a hot month - it can go over 40C in Sydney (about 105F) - so 18C is a bit nippy.
If it gets any colder, I'll have to put on something over my T-shirt.

At the moment its sunny.
We had some sun yesterday, although the wind was fierce.
But the sight of the mighty Severn was breathtaking: tide coming in against the flood coming downriver meant a mini-bore. And behind that the main channel full of white-capped wavelets.
Yes destructive but also beautiful.

Expecting 40C tomorrow which isn't much fun when you are running a temperature as a result of coming down with viral pneumonia- not supposed to happen in Summer in Australia and especially on my birthday! Can't even go for a swim to cool off as doctor has decreed no. Think I'd better take out the smallest violin in the world and play a sad song. ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif)

At around the age of eight I lived in North Africa and the recorded (shade) temperature peaked at around 111F, which is about 44C. Moving around was physically unpleasant, even for a eight year old, when it got over about 105F and school lessons were stopped when it got too hot (especially in our tin huts), but for my Dad, who occasionally had to fix Her Majesty's aeroplanes in that heat, it must have been a whole lot worse.

Here next to the Amazon it is always rainy season, though at some times it is heavier than others (the heavier rains started this week; I already got soaked yesterday).
In the morning, the water vapour starts to rise from the river and the forest, building up to a rain storm at 3:30pm (3 hours from now; clouds are already getting thick). It is so regular that people plan to meet eachother by saying: "I'll see you tomorrow, after the rain."

I wish the weather here would make up its tiny mind. It is the middle of January, when one might reasonably expect it to be rather coolish. It freaking rained last night, and the temp has risen overnight to +8. No prob; I can just haul out the light spring coat. Except it's going to cool down all day to -1 with high winds, so I don't know which temperature to dress for. Thank God for layers (outside) and pit zips (on overheated buses). And a great big middle digit to dumbass drivers who speed through slush puddles as they pass pedestrians: may ravenous potholes eat your axles.

The weather in Japan was perfect. An average -2C during the day with lots of powdery snowfall made for skiing.
The weather in Indonesia was even better. An average of 30C give or take a few with lovely humid rainstorms.
Now I'm back home from holidays. Thankfully Satan's crotch is no longer so hot. Perhaps she got laid.

similar here, NP, only it's pretty standard for our neck of the north. our impressive snowberms are down to subpressive and everything is drippy and slick and howly. on the plus side, I've put up the shoepacks for now and am back to wearing hikers.
the rain and snow dumps on the roof are likely to drive me insane.

Well, it's 44ºC here now, which is effing hot (111.2ºF). The gardener at my daughter's (former) school collapsed and died of heatstroke yesterday.
They've postponed matches on the outside courts at the Australian Open, which they pretty well never do. I suspect it would be well over 50 on court.
Expected minimum tonight is 26ºC. I suspect it will still be in the high thirties at 3am.
In short, it is bloody awful.

Hmm, considers the 88° difference between our recent temp extremes, and wonders about the frozen fish that will be baked from frozen for supper. Hits head on frozen wall, considers resuming sniffing glue, but has a cup of tea (hot) instead.

Just paid out nearly £40 to have a wheel rim bashed back into shape and small puncture fixed.
Potholes are so bad in this area that my independent tyre service have got an old chap out of retirement and all he does all day is sort out wheel rims and re-balance tyres - so much call for it they've even reduced the price!
Meanwhile, local council says that unless you can "prove" which pothole it was that caused your problem they won't accept liability - they want photos and witness statement(s)

We have just got used to rain every day now. We are worried about the water table, as if it keeps rising, all the septic tanks will start backing up. Not nice. My neighbour has a pump inside his, and at a moment's notice, pumps excess water into the hedge. No doubt this is illegal.

Had to pass through a puddle which had swelled to a floodlet this evening. The RAC man who had come to the woman who had driven through the deep side advised me to turn round, but it was a lane, with a line of non-reversers behind me and no turning spots, and a car coming through towards me. And dark. Managed OK having seen that that car did so.
And it was a pointless journey - to John Lewis, the only local supplier of Anchor Stranded embroidery yarn, as my embroidery kit had run out of one colour. Which was the only colour missing on the stand.
