tonym Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 On Sunday (28 deg C and very humid) we arrived home to find our normally calm stream up onto the road perilously close to our house. Over a months worth of rain (a lot in the UK) had fallen in less than one and a half hours. Some villages on the other side of the moors watershed had major problems. I had travelled through these places on Saturday twice (once on my bike in the am, and again in the motor late that evening). I had slowed a couple of times to remind myself of how beautiful they are. Then the flashfloods occured. link Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 Glad you got through OK, Tony. I thought of you when they were reporting this on the news. Amazing to hear the story of the woman in Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe whose deep freeze floated away and they'd yet to find it! Quote

There's one guy who's a friend of a friend who has lost 350 sheep. Eeek. As of last night he hadn't found them. no Bo-Peep jokes please Quote
catesta Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 119 yesterday, it feels about the same today. Quote
chris olivarez Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 It rained some today and cooled things down. Currently it's 64 degrees. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 119 yesterday, it feels about the same today. ← 119! I can't imagine being in that kind of temperature for days at a time. Quote
chris olivarez Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 119 yesterday, it feels about the same today. ← Yeah but it's dry heat!!!! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 A couple hours of that and it would be dry heaves! Quote

wesbed Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) I'd rather have good weather all the time. If I have to choose, hower, I'll take the 108° in trade for the 28° every time. Make now mistake, though, Phoenix is a HOT motherfucker. Edited June 22, 2005 by wesbed Quote

It's fucking brutal outside. ← I used to hear a lot of that silly reasoning from people who came from the Southern US where admittedly the humuidity can add a certain amount of misery to the heat. On the other hand when your knees buckle from it who cares if it's dry hit-it's obscenely hot!!! I remember seeing a t shirt with a skeleton out in the desert with the words "But it's dry heat" on the shirt. Quote

It's fucking brutal outside. ← I don't know man. I've lived in both extremes and the 28 while unpleasant seems more bearable than the 28. You can always put more clothes on but there's only so many clothes you can take off before legal and other complications occur. Now minus 17-that really sucks!!!!! Quote
catesta Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 The countdown has started for me. I'm gone in 13 days...... Quote

Soulstation1 Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 unfortunately i live in tucson, arizona Quote
chris olivarez Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 Well that's pretty close. Seriously, I lived up the road in Phoenix for a number of years and believe me I'm very well acquainted with how nasty and long the summers are in that part of Arizona. At this time of the year I'm glad I live in the mountains. Quote
kinuta Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 Hot and very sticky. High of 37C and 29C in the middle of the night. Humidity around 60%. It's just a rehearsal for July and August. Quote
chris olivarez Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 69 degrees and cloudy right now. Quote
