A Lark Ascending Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 Very April - a fair bit of rain but nice sunny bits every now and then. Fine enough yesterday to spend a couple of hours putting holes in the lawn. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted May 11, 2016 Report Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) After a spectacular weekend of blue skies and heat, the like of which we see only occasionally here (apart from 1976!), 24 hours of almost continual rain. My water buts runneth over. Expected to run out of Atlantic about 11 a.m. Edited May 11, 2016 by A Lark Ascending Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 115 degrees yesterday more of the same today ? Quote

kinuta Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 Rainy season. Gloomy and wet, very high humidity. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 109-110 degrees today already tired of the over 105 degrees Quote
paul secor Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 We don't usually get severe weather here, but this afternoon brought very heavy rain and nickel sized hail. There was a tornado warning, but we didn't get hit with one. Could be a lot worse, I guess. Quote
kinuta Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Gloomy, leaden skies, very humid and day long drizzle. Quote
kinuta Posted July 3, 2016 Report Posted July 3, 2016 The first truly hot day of the year, 38 in Tokyo, and first use of A/C this year. Good luck with those preposterous mid summer Tokyo Olympics. Quote
kinuta Posted July 29, 2016 Report Posted July 29, 2016 Summer ! Brilliant blue sky and singing crickets. 35 today. Quote
paul secor Posted July 29, 2016 Report Posted July 29, 2016 We got some rain this morning which has broken some of the heat, and there's supposed to be rain off and on over the next few days. We can use it. Quote
kinuta Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 Ditto the last post. 38C at the moment. Quote
fasstrack Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 Balmy and uncomfortable in Bronx, NY---2 days running. Fortunately, I am indoors... Quote
kinuta Posted August 20, 2016 Report Posted August 20, 2016 Unbearably humid and hot. 98% humidity at the moment with frightening thunder & lightning and monsoon like cloudbursts For the first time this summer I've chickened out of my daily run. Three typhoons heading straight for us. The joys of a Tokyo summer. Good luck with the 2020 Olympics. The Quote
BFrank Posted August 20, 2016 Report Posted August 20, 2016 A balmy 61 degrees and partly cloudy here. Summer in San Francisco! Quote
kinuta Posted August 22, 2016 Report Posted August 22, 2016 One of our two local rivers is close to breaking it's banks. Evacuation preparation is advised in several areas near here. Not to worry, we are on high ground. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted August 22, 2016 Report Posted August 22, 2016 And you are the site of the next Olympics!!! Hope it doesn't get too disruptive for you, Kinuta. Britain is enjoying a typical summer. Wet'n windy. Total cloud cover most of this weekend. We've had some sunny days and not that much rain but overall it's not been one that (weatherwise) will remain in the memory. Quote

Nobody I've spoken to has any enthusiasm and most wish they would just go away. I've been saying for ages that the decision to hold them in early August is crazy. The 1964 games were held in October when it's quite warm but dry and pleasant. Seems tv big bucks have dictated an August date. The average temperatures are 27-35C with very high humidity, heat island related early evening thunderstorms and the odd typhoon. Summer here is without doubt the very worst time to plan outdoor activity. For us residents it's a time to grit our teeth and long for October to roll round. Edited August 22, 2016 by kinuta Quote
kinuta Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 The typhoons have cleared off. Today is cloudy, rainy and very humid after a bright and clear early morning. Deafening chorus of crickets. Quote
