Heatwave!

The thermometer on my window sill is currently reading 29°C. That’s in the shade – so I imagine it would be much hotter out in the sun right now.

Argh! This heatwave is killing me! Blind.gif

Re: Heatwave!

Oh yeah! Our state reached 50 degrees c, (122 fahrenheit) try standing that! But I guess 30 is pretty hot for England...     Actually really hot for England. Last time I was in England there was about one hot day actually it probably wasn't hot I was just wearing lots of clothes, that was in the country anyway. The rest of the days I was there were rainy, cold and rainy some more. So I spent a lot of time in the houses of relatives. Although that day in London was nice, a bit.

It is 50 degrees plus and the current fails often!

Re: Heatwave!

Only the Sahara desert is hotter than here but it's a dry heat (123F +), LOL. It's so hot they lie about the temperature on the news. Current fails here too.

Re: Heatwave!

Last time I went to California it was hot there, It was kind of weird though, because when I got to Mexico it was a lot cooler. During the flight we stopped in Hawaii for an hour to refuel and it was sooooo humid there. And that was about 8:00pm.

Well, it’s cooler this morning. My thermometer is reading 27°C. I suppose the small shower overnight helped to bring the temperature down. smile

Re: Heatwave!

Humid rain, I hate that. We have it over here sometimes in the summer, really annoying. Right now, this season, it's soooooo cold it was 10 degrees (c) (50 degrees fahrenheit)  today!

In the U.S. we use Farenheit instead of Celsius... How do you convert Farenheit to Celsius? dunno

Re: Heatwave!

Here in Kosovo it is the same for the last 2 weeks!!!!
Sunny in the morning,raining in the afternoon.So boring
You may think that you can go out with a t-shirt,but just some minutes after you get out,it starts to rain!!!
About 3 days ago,a storm started suddenly.In just about 20 minutes the sky changed from white to dark,heavy rain,heavy winds.
Now it started to get normal,but it is very different from the last year.
2 years ago we had just a little bit snow in the winter and this year we had a lot,but a lot of snow.
The global climate is changing very qyickly

Re: Heatwave!

I know what you mean, I like the heat as well, but not when 50 degrees c!!!

One day we have rain the next day, no rain and off and on off and on. There's more rainbows a day than I've ever seen in my life.

Re: Heatwave!

Tigeree, 15°C is not 34°F. I haven’t done the actual conversion myself but it does not look right to me. neutral

Re: Heatwave!

By my convertor it said 33.8 so I just rounded it up, that's just what I do.

Re: Heatwave!

We've just had the hottest day ever here in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. on July 29.  The city I live in reached 104°F or 40°C!!!! eek

Somebody on T.V. said this isn't because of global warming!?!?!? rolleyes

I realize it's only one day, but the temperatures are off the chart of what's normal.
