I love the weather and have always been interested in it. To me, the creation of incredible storms and the patterns of heat, wind, fronts, and pressure systems in absolutely incredible, especially since many of these things still baffle humans!

I want to know: does anybody share my interest? Any other weather buffs out there? Or, some interesting story or fact about the weather?

Please, share it here!

How hot has it gotten, Ernie15 (preferably a Fahrenheit temp.)?


Yesterday, according to my thermometer, it got to be about 88 in my home and I had the fan on. That isn't much for some people here, but I'm not used to it where I live.

I really don't like hot weather. It makes me want to just lie down and die (and then respawn when it cools down).

@Ernie15

Haha

Well you're right about that not being hot for some people. :P
When you said "hot" 100 and humid popped into my mind. 88 actually sounds rather nice!

I hate the weather, literally
Every day its almost a hundred degrees, it never rains, everything is dead, there isn't anything but dirt, and the wind never seems to stop blowing.
Can you guess where I live?

The desert southwest? It's still cloudy and drizzly here. It's kinda icky.

Finally, some sun showing here! It's going to be a beautiful day; mainly sunny, upper 70's, only a light breeze... Absolutely perfect!

It would appear that this thread is dying... BUT! I will not give up on it.

Today a huge blob of rain hit (is hitting) here. Occasionally there's that rumble of thunder, but otherwise it's just rain.

Anyone like the Northern Lights?

I don't think I've seen the northern lights before in real life. From what I've seen on the Internet, they're colorful, and I like that.

There's supposed to be a thunderstorm later today or tonight. I like thunderstorms, it's good weather to play round up in.

I love the Northern Lights! I've never had the pleasure of seeing them, however...

@GhostOfMatrix

I totally agree! Thunderstorms, even severe, tend to put me in an incredibly happy and relaxed state. The best part is playing outside in heavy rain. :P

where I live there are some nasty storms that come through every once and a while. A few weeks ago this horrific lightning storm came through and hit a tree and the tree burst into flames.

Talk about weird yet interesting weather today. It's raining crazy. It's summer...

@bravehawk 204

Wow. That's sounds bad, yet very entertaining to watch. :P

@vinster132

Do you not typically get rain during the summer?

---
Yesterday, I walked outside and there was a thunderhead nearby! Even better, there were no leading clouds to obstruct it. So, I had a complete, undisturbed view of the storm. I could see the lightning bolts and flashes streaking between the top and bottom of the anvil and many places in between. It was incredibly cool.

I was up at Bay Beach two days ago. It started raining a bit. There were very few clouds. They were thin and white, not storm clouds. The sun was high and it wasn't dark at all, but it was raining. HOW?!?

There was hail the size of grapefruits yesterday, and I put out a bowl to collect them. Then we had lemonade with hail as ice cubes. =P
