Weather Check

"I'm scowling in the rain and I'm slightly pissed off again, what a crappy sensation, it's raining again. My umbrella just broke, my train is really late and to make things worse, I got splashed by a car" is what Gene Kelly would be singing if he was here. 

You know I feel out of the loop not having hit China yet (august 23 tickets bought). But the weather here is wonderful 76 degrees sunny and bight with a lake I can swim in so there.

Heat wave just passed.  Women are showing their knees. 

Tornado and hail warning outside of town.  It smells good here.

Another cool summer morning in Osnabrück, Germany. It is cloudy, about 20°C and probably, there will be sun outside today 

Hail storms in western T.  Snow on the mountains. Warm during day, good snuggling weather at night.

There is some sort of celestial fight going on here. First hail, then thunder and rain, then sunshine, then rain, then sunshine, more thunder, rain and then sunshine with dark clouds promising more rain and the distant rumbling of thunder. And this was within the last four hours

Eric, I hope you survived the weekend.

Here in Germany, it is again typical wheather. The whole weekend was raining. And this morning, sun is coming out. Well, who needs sunshine at the weekend

25 degrees and raining.

Thanks, I nearly didn't. Thought the rain had gone, went for walk with doggie, discovered that the rain had set me up. I was very, very drenched when I came home.
The loony weather continues. I think it is because there is some squabble going on among the old deities. See, my theory is that the skies above Denmark is where the celestial retirement home is. The place where all the old ones, like Zeus and Ra went after they retired. Now, these grupmy old deities (or GOD, if you prefer the acronym) are all fighting over who gets to wear the weather-control hat this month. Thor is winning but I suspect Helios is planning to snatch it away soon.

35 C and sunny with about 75% humidity in Saskatchewan, Canada (really atypical, at least the humidity is atypical).  At least the sky is blue and the air is clean.

Bad flooding on the weekend. Waist deep water, lightening touching ground and thunder setting off car alarms. One storm knocked out the power in our building for nearly 8 hours.

chicago, 90's but breezy and dry (unusual for Chicago -- lake michigan means humidity usually) so it doesn't feel like it. Very mild for the end of July.

It rained.  I really think I could sleep outside but for those last 2 hours before dawn. 

Yesterday, we had a visit from Santa's two most disliked reindeer - Donder & Blitzen.   
Today it's 28/29*, with 80% humidity, breeze of 10-15 knots.  Nice.   

Yesterday it snowed and for the last 2 days we were driving through sandstorms.  Hot in Yecheng - sent back all of my warm clothes I needed in T.  P.O. fuwuyuan made me unpack everything to check, then repack - it ended up (with tents, sleeping bags and souvenirs) as 3 large boxes of stuff.
