So How's The Weather?

[peewee]

I think about the only topic eeeverybody in the world talks about is the weather. It's always too cold or too hot or too rainy or too snowy and when the conversation begins to die or has trouble taking off, people fall back to, "Soooo...how's the weather?"

So I'm creating a topic just to talk/whinge/gloat about the weather.

I'll begin...

Third day of summer here and the heat has just kicked in. Numbers don't do justice around here. It's been in the high 20s and actually been chilly sometimes, but today the temperature is 30 degrees and it's sooo hot. I'm guessing the humidity must be pretty high.

There were storms here every day of the week and my car has been squeezed up as far undercover as it can be with blankets and covers over the back to stop the hail. There's only been one bad hailstorm here so far and I was just quick enough to get the cars undercover and there was no hail damage. In other parts of Brisbane there's been a bit of damage though and blankets of hail lying in gutters and on lawns all night. There were 7cm hailstones up north in Mackay and 281mm of rain in 2 hours in Noosa.

There was also a tornado about 15mins from where I am. There hasn't really been a tornado recorded here in a looong time and the first so close to the coast on record. Last night there were bad storms down in Sydney and Canberra apparently with a mini tornado and flooding claiming three lives. This is one craaazy summer storm season, which makes for a little bit of excitement.

Oh yeah and this might help a few people:
tornado = twister
cyclone = hurricane
1 inch = 2.54cm ; 25mm
0C = 32F, 30C = 86F (Celsius/Fahrenheit Converter)

Oh, I hate when people says something about the weather to avoid a moment of silence!! I prefer to be quiet than to be forced into a conversation with no point.

The Wether pretty much sucks right now..its my birthday in 19 days and i totally want it to snow

[Jan Willem]

in 19 days?? wow were all december children! mine is in 26 days
the weather is pretty much the same as in england here, it mostly is, and i think the British and us are the most weather-complaining people on earth
After our surprise snow party last week, most snow has melted, and its dry and pretty cold now (a few degrees C). I hope for some snow and lower temperatures this month, i was born with snow and hard freezing (relatively hard for the netherlands, i know in canada the people take cover in frozen meat storages on their way to work because its warmer there then outside ) and i would like the same for my birthday!

I've never even touched a hot water bottle. Thank goodness there's a thing called central heating The weather's quite nice here, snowing and all. It's not too cold yet, once it's -20C, I'll get to the complaining.

It's how I like it; cold and raining! AND NOT WINDY!!!! YAY!

[Italo (Mod)]

Sun and wind just for a change.

We don't have central heating!!! Hence the billions of hotwater bottles!! It's the coldest winter over here since the 1960's apparently!!
