We should feel sympathy for those poor souls forced to endure an antiquated measurement system.

I was doing a to Coldwizard. If he wants this kind of weather, why doesn't he move north!

It's nice and balmy here in the winter compared to up north.

Been close to 10 C higher than normal all month. So it's been great!

DanS, did you check my first link? It seems greenhouse gasses may be all that's saving us. The second link is about global warming on Mars. Maybe there's a solar system wide, sun induced global warming?

The third link had some amazingly skimpy bikinis, but it doesn't work.

DanS... Completely different experience in Scotland. I can't believe it but I actually got sunburnt here. In April. It's not exactly a mediterranean climate here, but it's pleasant enough to sit out in a t-shirt. Fantastic.

Well, you Euros like a cooler clime. I wasn't joking when I said that high 70s feels chilly to me (high 20s for you Euros).

70's is chilly to me. 79 is the coolest I like it.

At least you got a dry heat, Diss. I used to think a dry heat was great, but now I feel dusty when the humidity is too low.

I've lived in Florida and Mississippi. For the most part it's great. But it sucks when you are doing any kind of physical work. I sweat so much it gets on my hands and my hands slip off the tools I'm using. It gets in my eyes when I'm trying to work on something.

Not that I don't sweat out here. Just last summer I was working on the roof (in the morning when it was cool even) and I was sweating so bad it was getting in my eyes.

So don't think we don't sweat out here in the desert. Just not as much.

Technically we sweat just as much and even more, but you don't feel it as it evaporates so quickly.

This can be dangerous as people don't realize how much water they are losing. And if they don't drink any fluids... They are in for a fall.

Weatherman are horrible!!

Just yesterday they were saying it would be sunny today. But we have cloudy skies with a chance of rain.

You'd think we could predict the weather by now.

[Theben]

Pretty much perfect.

~60 degrees F, bright and sunny, light winds.

[Dracon II]

No.... we don't need anymore global warming. Not where I am anyway. The way things are going we'll only have a week or two of genuine autumn (not that we get any genuine seasons anyway.... just a really hot period peaking in Jan/Feb and a slightly colder period around July... and apart from the usual down pour in mar/apr the rain is pretty much unpredictable.
Plus we've got that damned el nino thing...

Hey, it's Queluelie! The system isn't so bad, once you're used to it.

Hey, it's Theban! Spare a thought also for the poor american scientists who must constantly convert between the two because the scientific community in other countries uses a modern system of measurement.
