Here's a novel idea...

Each day post the weather of the location where you live so we can get an idea of what the weather is like for all of us each day :)

I'll kick it off:

Durban, South Africa
29 degrees Celsius @ 15:50
Clear skies
Light breeze
A perfect winters day for us :D

[Mark]

Stockton-on-Tees, United Kingdom
19C so warm but overcast with a cool breeze.
Been raining quite a bit. So a standard British summer day.

[Mintexmemory]

Mid-afternoon in beautiful Kent - 24deg, a perfect summer's day - sitting on the verandah with my afternoon cuppa as a break from house painting

[BleAivano]

Northern Södermanland, time is 16.26, it's around 20 degrees Celsius, currently cloudy,
had some quite intense rain showers about 2 hours ago but they have moved on.

Today marks a change from several weeks of warm and sunny weather to more colder and rainy weather.

[Gregor-y]

Chicago
At 0922 it's 21.7 degrees (just under 70F)
Overcast, occasional rain (though I biked in without getting caught)
Wind from the WSW at 17km/h

Today and tomorrow will be warm, but temperatures will go back down by Thursday. It's been very nice for the last week or so, for summer.

[Donney]

León Spain
at 16:43 25ºC, overcast and a bit windy it is quite likely to rain
Tomorrow will more or less the same with a higher probability of rain.

It should start improving on Thursday.

[Starter]

10:50 AM in central Maryland, USA
21.1 C or 70 F
Steady rain (the same forecast for the rest of the week)

[gadjo_dilo]

Incredible......Looks like I live in the warmest place.......
And mind you, temperatures are measured outside city and in the shadow.
So: Bucharest - Romania 18.30. 31C partially clouded.
High index of the thermic discomfort causing a horrible sensation of ''always wet'.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

The Fylde, Lancashire, UK - 19.5 C at 17.41. Sunshine with some hazy cloud.

[donKey jote]

'always wet'.
...where's brockman when you need him :eek: http://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Banana/burning.gif :erm: :andrea:

[Rollo]

Western Sydney, Australia
@06:19am
4 degrees, expecting a top of 22.
Early fog and drizzle, both to clear.

[Alexamateo]

Collierville,TN
84°F (29°C)
Partly Cloudy
Really muggy, humidity is 66%.

[555-04Q2]

Some of you guys live in absolutely miserable climates :s hock:

In good old Durban, South Africa today it's...

21 degrees Celsius @ 07:30 (expected to peak at 29 today)
Clear skies
Light breeze
And this is our winter weather :D

[Storm]

Pune, India

A pleasant day with clear skies (mostly) but it did drizzle for a bit earlier this morning..
temp is about 25 degrees C

This is the 3rd consecutive day that the sun is shining after a MONTH (30 days yeah!) of continuous rain.
It rained day and night with only a few hours break at any point of time.
We did not see the Sun at all in the whole of July!
I live in a rain shadow region apparently...hah

Yeah it's monsoon time :D

[gadjo_dilo]

Bucharest 9.00 A.M.

25C sunshine, humidity 51%
Expecting 33C at noon.

One of the days when you feel an imperious urge to jump into an artesian fountain.

[gadjo_dilo]

Pune, India


A typical destination in all indian soaps. :p

[schmenke]

Calgary, AB - 7 Day Forecast - Environment Canada (http://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/ab-52_metric_e.html)

:p :

[555-04Q2]

Well we hit 33 degrees Celsius just after lunch, hot for winter! February's gonna be unbearable :cry:

[Tazio]

San Diego Ca. Currently 0700 17 C
Expected to reach 23 C
That's pretty typical as long as we have the on-shore flow. When the Santa Anas hit in October we should have a few days of intense heat, but very dry. Temps often above 38 C

The Santa Ana Winds (http://www.atmos.ucla.edu/~fovell/ASother/mm5/SantaAna/)

[Mark in Oshawa]

Courtice ON, high today was 24 c, humidex of 30, thunderstorms and heavy rain tonight, I think it will clear by the morning.

Currently the weather here is at the moment (14.00 CEST), 20 C and a light rain and a light north eastern wind.

[gadjo_dilo]

Winter is as tough and sometimes gets "siberian" accents.

As you see, I'm always living at some extreme....

It seems that Romania have a quite extreme weather differences.

In Sweden there is over 90 degrees difference between the warmest ever (+38,0°C in Målilla (https://www.google.se/maps?q=M%C3%A5lilla&hl=sv&ie=UTF8&ll=57.387819,15.902367&spn=0.161164,0.605278&sll=62.935235,15.161133&sspn=17.595644,77.475586&oq=M%C3%A5lilla&hnear=M%C3%A5lilla,+Kalmar+l%C3%A4n&t=m&z=12), 1947-06-29) and the coldest ever (-52,6°C, Vuoggatjålme (https://www.google.se/maps?q=Vuoggatj%C3%A5lme&hl=sv&ie=UTF8&ll=65.802776,19.204102&spn=7.867093,38.737793&sll=57.385115,15.89643&sspn=0.322352,1.210556&oq=Vuoggatj%C3%A5lme&hnear=Vuoggatj%C3%A5lme,+Norrbottens+l%C3%A4n&t=m&z=6), 1966-02-02).

Expected 37C at noon.
God.... wish I have a pool......

[BleAivano]

11.21 CEST, +17oC, overcast,very light wind, no rain at the moment but lots of rain clouds around.
Yesterday it rained allot and apparently we got the most rain in the entire country.

[Gregor-y]

Nice day so far. 22 at the lake front and 26 just a few blocks inland. Which is why I live as close to the water as possible.

31C and 73% humidity here in Virginia Beach... far eastern US.

It's going to be a wet bike ride.

That's why if I do ever move back east it won't be any farther south than Massachusetts.

this was about a week ago and the temperatures passed+ 30oC, now we're lucky if the temp reaches +20oC

[Gregor-y]

20 is nice. Anything between there to freezing I can bike through with no problem.

Though things do get rough in the autumn around here...

Clear skies, no breeze.

[BleAivano]

[gadjo_dilo]

15.30 Bucharest 34C . No wind, no clouds.
A real sauna at work

[Starter]

After several days of seeing the sun we're back to rain and 74 F in Maryland at 8:35 AM. This has for sure been the wettest spring and summer in recent memory around here.

[555-04Q2]

Another fantastic winters day in Durban:

29 degrees
Blue sky
Light breeze

Sunset will be approx. 17:20 and I'll he having a beer watching the sun go down :D

[gadjo_dilo]

Wonder how many degrees you have on summer. :confused:

[D-Type]

If I remember summers in Durban correctly, the killer is the humidity. There's a parameter, called I think "humitherm", which combines temperature and humidity to give one number - a bit like "chill factor2 which combines low temperature and wind speed.

We have the same problem here. The so called index of thermic comfort that measure temp-humidity-wind is so high that meteorological services don't tell us. All we hear is that the index is over the critical point of 80 units.

[anfield5]

New Plymouth today.

Looking from my office out to sea is not an option today, rain squalls sheeting in one after another, some containing hail. 25 km/h south westerlies, gusting up to 50km/h.

All in all a bit like an English summer today :eek:

[555-04Q2]

Wonder how many degrees you have on summer. :confused:

From November to January we average around 30 - 32 degrees and during February to March we average around 35 but also regularly gets days near 40.

We've had a fantastic "winter" this year, haven't dropped below 12 degrees at night and only worn my jacket on 2 days this year :) The grass here is still nice and green and still growing, unusual for winter.

You are correct D-Type :up:

Our humidity is really bad here, especially from November - April. 150km up our North East Coast is a city called Richards Bay which is even worse than Durban.

[gadjo_dilo]

Today it's one of those days when
"The drought has stifled every feather of wind,
The sun melted down on the earth, left behind
An empty, exhausted, blistering sky"....

I nearly fainted at the subway and still feel sick.
Tropical night and 37C prognosed for noon

sounds nasty.

Looking out the window here and you will see grey/blue clouds who seems a bit indecisive about
whether they should release all that rain inside them or not. Temps is around 16oC with very still winds.

[MrJan]

Plenty of drizzle here today.

[Gregor-y]

18.1 with some clouds. 65% humidity, light wind from the north. It should top out around 22 this afternoon. Fantastic weather.

32.5 at 1700 near my house. It's going to be a miserable ride home today and judging by the forecast will be the same all week.

Over here the weather the past couple of days have very nice, although a little to chilly during the nights,

around 21-22 degrees during the days but actually below 10 degrees during nights.

[Tazio]

Tropical storm Ivo has affected our weather in San Diego. It's muggy 75% humidity, but only in the high 70s maybe touching 80 F in the eastern part of the city, which isn't that bad except we are quite spoiled here! :angryfire

[555-04Q2]

Well we got another fantastic day here. Clear blue skies, gentle breeze with temperatures expected to only peak at 28 degrees today.

Ah, what a crap life living in old Africa :P:

New Plymouth this morning. - Howling cold wind from the south. Ambient 9 degrees c with a 50km gusting to 75km wind. Wind chill has the temp down to about 3. Looking out to sea the white horses are galloping.

Can't complain though it's September and it's the first real sign of winter we have had.

[Gregor-y]

I'm envious. It's 29 at the moment and will be staying there for the next few days. At least the nights (and mornings) are getting cooler.

[555-04Q2]

It's a gorgeous spring day here, mid twenties, not a breath of wind or a cloud in the sky. Worryingly though, Sunday is predicted to be 35 degrees which means closer to 40 with humidity etc :s hocked:

Terrible weather here. Yesterday it was the coldest October 1st in our history ( well, at least since they do measurements ). Only 6C ( due to heavy winds it was felt like it was 1C ) and endless cold rains ( 90litres/sq.m ) for days.
Destroyed 2 umbrellas and a pair of shoes, not to mention that I had to stay with wet clothes all the day. Couldn’t sleep well because of cold...
Don’t know how I’ll survive this winter as I still couldn’t solve the problem with the heating system.

[BleAivano]

sunny and no clouds maybe around +10 degrees Celsius. However we had subzero temperatures during the night.

[555-04Q2]

Fantastic day here. Not a cloud in the sky, we hit a max of 28, gentle breeze :) Gonna go have an ice cold beer by my pool shortly :D

[BleAivano]

The weather have been quite nice the past week or so. Mostly sunny with the temperature being around 0 degrees.

The past two days it have been slightly warmer.

Today the sun is shining and the temperature currently is around +6-7-8 degrees Celsius,
which is warmer then normal for November.

[555-04Q2]

We've had very cool weather the last month :) Third year in a row that we are well under our normal temperature range for this time of year. We've been averaging about 24 - 26 degrees for November which is fantastic considering we normally used to get up to 29 - 30 degrees. We've also had solid rain over the last 2 months which has been fantastic :)

Today is cloudy with no breeze whatsoever and 22 degrees, I'm chilling here :D

[schmenke]

It's been between 0 & 5 C here lately. Not bad for this time of the year, although our daylight hours are quickly fading. The sun doesn't shine until close to 9:00am and it's pitch dark before 5:00pm :s

[555-04Q2]

You can keep your weather, that's for sure :p:

Shortest day is usually 21st or 22nd of December.

[gadjo_dilo]

Yesterday we had the first snow of the season in my hometown. Associated with strong winds.
Not only winter has come too early but the decrease of grades was dramatically felt.. It's not easy to pass from 15C to 0 C overnight.
Wish I were a Carpathian bear that hibernates during winter and wakes up in the warm spring......

[anfield5]

16oc, extremely humid, heavy overcast with showers - sounds like a perfect summer day in Manchester

[BleAivano]

So how is the spring coming on?

As usual up here the weather/winter/spring thing is a bit like a roller coaster high "ups" and deep downs.

After several weeks of warm (>+10C) days we had a setback earlier this week with subzero temperatures and snow
but it has melted now since the temp is start climb back towards +8-10C during day time.

[gadjo_dilo]

Beautiful weather this week. A lot of sunshine and temps over 20C.
Spring has finally come on my street. But not also in my soul.....

[schmenke]

No spring here. For the last week we've had temperatures well below zero. Today it's -10 C and snowing :(

[Donney]

Spring here is more of a phylosophical concept than a weather fact. Since the beginning of spring it has snowed three times and rained seven days.

[donKey jote]

Spring here... Sunny + almost 20 deg :D
(as usual for this time of the year, nice in Hanover = worse in Madrid... All thanks to the position of the "Azores weather system")

[BleAivano]

The weather has been quite nice the last couple of days except for yesterday and partially today. The coming days are expected to be quite nice
as well so hopefully that is how it will be.

I have some cousins in New Brunswick and on Facebook they have been posting similar things. As well as pictures from their home and the snow piling up.

Hope you get some spring soon Schmenke, Bagwan and co.

Here in the east of England today we have had high levels of pollution today, drifting from the south and east.
Its been very warm (20 degrees) over the last week or so, and we have a dust cloud of Sahara dust over us too, so the cars are all filthy.

Better than snow though.

[BleAivano]

Quite typical April weather the past week, both sunny and rainy days.

The difference between the warmest and coldest temperature in Sweden the past weeks is 43 degrees difference.
The warmest temperature measured the past week is 18 degrees C and the coldest is -25 degrees C.

[Bagwan]

The weather is a little chilly today here , and that's a big relief .

We had a deep winter , and the last few days were in the high teens , with rain thrown in , just to add to the pain .

I spent yesterday in chest waders , wandering around my basement in water just under 3 feet deep , trying desperately to save treasures like family photo albums , now spread around my home on every flat surface .

Of course , the basement was set well for the level of the last flood , about 6 years ago now , but this one is more than a foot higher , so much of the bottom shelves and contents are now floating or sinking , making moving around in the swirl of precious detritus a little treacherous , to say the least .

It's a little heart breaking , finding little reminders of yours and your family's lives floating by , ruined , but I guess mother nature decided it was time to purge ourselves of a few things .

We saved lots of stuff .
I just hope we can see the river recede before too long , so I can maybe save more .

Floods suck . They really do .

We have our first real autumnal day. There is a strong warmish North-Westerly bringing in plenty of rain. It is expected to swing to the South this afternoon, effectively bring the rain that has just passed overhead back for another go.

Was pretty sunny here today and temps around 10 degrees.

However i saw this tweet from Toronto:


Seriously,Toronto not get the memo? SNOW? So distraught I can't even bring myself to make a 'playoffs/golf' joke.

Quite facinating that a city that is "much" further south then where I live (42N versus 58N) still is having winter while over here
the spring has really swept in all over the country. Lots if migrating birds have already returned from their winter quarters and etc.

Horrible cold rainy day in my hometown with a max of 9 C.
Also snow in some parts of the country.

Well, after several days of relatively spring-like weater it's now snowing hard with accumulation warnings in the mountaints just to the west of the city :s

Have the day off on Friday, and the kids are off school, so we'll make the most of it and head for the hills :D .

Madrid 26C, all green after the rains earlier in the month...
in fact it's been like this all week :bandit:
perfect Spring weather, with a bit of snow on the mountains still if anyone yearns the cold :D

I thought I'd give you all an update on our flooding here , since you asked .

The water is going down , about a foot and a half so far .
It's still over rubber boot height , and I've had enough time in waders , so I'm waiting for a little more drop before gong into the basement to see the carnage again .

Tomorrow morning begins the task of washing river silt .

[BleAivano]

Today weather: partially cloudy and about +14 degrees Celsius.

Hey Baggy, hope the damage isn't too bad. Been following the news about the flooding in your part of the country and it seems quite severe. Hope it all works out for you.

Around here the worst doesn't typically arrive until ~June :s

Thanks , man .

Kinda dreading going down there .

It's not like a normal basement because it's an old mill , with water flowing beneath it all the time , just not normally through it .

[Bagwan]

The water's gone now .
I was kinda hoping we'd catch a few bass in the flood , but no luck .

In the last flood , in '08 , we caught a muskrat . Poor little guy was scratching at the window trying to get out , until we showed him the hole in the floor to get out .

Gonna order some wood for some shelving to hang from the ceiling in the space , well above even this year's high water mark .
And , I am getting ready for a few dump runs .

Yesterday and today's am was grey and rainy but "I can see clearly now the rain is gone,
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sunshinin' day.. " http://i.imgur.com/j2UGFVV.jpg

Once again a horrible rainy day ruining the Easter midnight celebration. :stareup:
The traditional visit to the cemetery will be spoilt by mud.......

[BleAivano]

Yesterday AM very very foggy, then around noon the fog cleared and the rest of the day was sunny with temps around +15C.
Today sunny all day and around +15-16C when it was as warmest.

[BleAivano]

Warm and sunny yersterday (around 18-20 degrees C). The same weather is expected for today.

[schmenke]

Our spring came and went during the last two days. Winter will be back tomorrow :s

Unseasonably warm in S.D. today with a high of 95F. :eek:

[gadjo_dilo]

Terrible rain this evening followed by a spectacular rainbow.
The hail in Bucharest ( fortunately not on my street) made the city look like in winter.

Crazy stupid weather :dozey:

A cold front is coming through today and summer may be finally over. The migrating geese turned up three weeks ago so I think winter's coming sooner than people expect.

Amazing

How rare is snow in your parts in September? I mean you obviously have bad winters (compared to us UK softy's) but I assume its rare to see snow this early.

[schmenke]

A few flakes in late September wouldn’t be uncommon, but over 15cm in mid-month is rare.

The problem with this much snow is that the leaves are still on the trees, which when combined with the weight of the wet snow, cause branches to break, and even trees to topple. Despite much of the snow now melted, the streets are littered with branches and broken trees, and some neighbourhoods are still without electricity due to downed power lines.

7 deg. C here today but it's supposed to warm up to 20C by next week :mark:

Normal here for this time of year. Pleasant 28 Celsius today with a really lovely Spring evening now :)

Why not, it's lovely here. We have 9 months of winter and three months of bad skiing :p: .
