This even more just in - the weather thread
pwhodges:
I learnt the other day that the weather on Fair Isle (halfway between Orkney and Shetland) is the most consistent in Britain. The temperature there has varied between a maximum of 20.2C and a minimum of -5.6C over the 63 years from 1951 to the present.

Report from Cooktown:
--- Quote ---3 days without water and 4 without power which was restored last night.
Spent Fri night (when Ita hit) with an old lady who didn't want to go to
the cyclone shelter. Hers is a small wooden house so it was an exciting night.
Cooktown was lucky. Only roof gone was one of the pubs. Loadsa big trees
fell but they all seemed to fall away from buildings. No one hurt.

The local weather people have come up with a new word to describe the summer-like weather we're getting around here this week (temperatures ~95-105 F / 35-40 C): "Maugust".
ankhtahr:
Around 35°C. I'm boiling. Everything is sticky. I have a terrible headache.
AND WOULD EVERYBODY PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT HOW FUCKING GREAT THIS FUCKING WEATHER IS?
I want Winter. Real Winter. Not this wishy washy 5°C thing we had here. I want -15°C, with the hairs in your nose freezing when you breath in deeply. That is great weather. Not this outdoors sauna.
