It's going to cool down about 5C tomorrow (hurrah) and then thunder storms with hail at the weekend (mother nature really is one). We really aren't used to American style golf ball hail and a few places have been peppered with them already.

Perhaps starting a new thread on it would be better.

Good luck with discussing such topics without rapid escalation into polemics. Or should that be devolution?

That can't be Norway. the camera isn't smothered with mosquitos

112 degrees. (Fahrenheit of course; 44c.) Mid-afternoon, coast of Maine, USA.

Yes, that's in DIRECT sun. But I was working in that direct sun. I'm toasted.

75F/24C at the airport, but that thermometer is in deep shade.

I didn't dare go out in the sun when it was 44.3º here in the shade. That's 7º hotter than it's been here before. First shot is from July 29, 2009 at 37.5º and then June 28th 2021.

Hello,

If you are working out in the sun, face north and lean over at the waist.

Your south side will provide all the shade that you need.

Thanks DT

Or do like I do. Use your belly as a roof and keep your feet from burning.

Good grief. We're not that far apart and it was MUCH cooler here. You should feel free to visit!

Real temps here, MID-afternoon, were probably 83 to 78. Going by the school, the bank, the water park. Each has its own errors. Tomorrow is predicted 76. 3 deg cooler than your part of the coast?

The 112 is because the front thermometer here lives in a bottle on the porch wall. Otherwise snow, rain, and mist obscure the readout. It's a little solar-trap but it only gets sun a couple hours in the afternoon. That photo was just about the peak.

Here in Belgium it’s 20 degrees celcius (to low for the time of the year) and raining again. No floodings are reported yet but everybody is on gaurd…

And the flashfloods started again after heavy rainfall this evening in Belgium, this is footage of Dinant, the hometown of Adolf Sax, the inventor of the saxophone half an hour ago in this (flemish) newspaper article:

That's about right, almost 80 here today, similar yesterday, but we were inland for most of today at my sister's lake cabin, and it was just about a perfect day. Father's 95th birthday too! We even got him out for a power boat ride.

Apparently last time about 50,000 cars were taken by the floods, most ended up in forests and fields. Many have to be removed by helicopter as there are no other ways to get them out. Costly.

Gonna look like a bunch of my beloved rural US.

Saying this, abandoned cars and trucks, largely undisturbed for decades, become quite the item for restoration. Hemmings Motor News used to have a picture in each monthly edition of a valuable fossil!

Anyone need a VW "Vanagon"?

Parts of London UK have been flooded again while here in the English rust belt the clay remains dried and cracked.

 

[soundbrigade]

That's an immediate result of Brexit ...

Here in Sweden (West) we have had a few light showers, but themperature is 25-something so the cold rain just add to the humidity.

I doubt that these are fit for restoration though, them being crushed, squashed and molested. Often the mark/type cannot be recognized.

Taught to me by a Canadian I met in trade school back when.

Degrees C times 2 plus 30 is very near degrees F.

example: 20 degrees C is about 70 degrees F.

not the real formula but fast and easy conversion.

Thanks
