captain cojones 15 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 What are your night time temperatures Newt? I'm not really bothered by hot daytime temps, but its difficult to sleep when its 30c at night. We have had maximums of around 40C for most of this week. Link to post Share on other sites
n4lly 91 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Night time temps the last couple have been about 18 C, bloomin' 'orrible. Winds from the south bringing hot air off the continent bumping into the usual cold jet stream off the atlantic. Causing havoc, re the flood thread. Link to post Share on other sites
captain cojones 15 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Looks like the temperatures in Spain are dropping by up to 8c, which perhaps will help a bit you lot. Link to post Share on other sites

Phone 750 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Ayjay, Very funny. Took me, a non-computer guy, a second look. All, We are on pace to break the 108 year old heat records. Wheat harvest turned out fine. Corn and soybeans are now in trouble and "good" crops are at best suspect. Phone Link to post Share on other sites
Newt 290 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 As the good Captain says, high daytime temps are tolerable after a fashion but hot, humid nights are really tough to deal with. Thank goodness for airconditioning. Today's high here was only about 37º but when I got home from work a bit after midnight, 27º with 98% humidity did not make for comfortable sleeping weather. The mid & eastern US was treated to a derecho on Friday. If you aren't familiar with that weather term, you can look it up like I had to since it was also new to me.

Now there's a right un. 48 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Newt, you're just showing off now... :P At best we get 2 days of okay... <_< I am still waiting for these damn easterly winds to drop. I am waiting for the Jet stream to realize that it is in the wrong place. I am waiting for the rain to stop. My children break up for their 6 week break in 3 weeks and I am hoping that Summer might kick in before that... @ Ayjay----love it. Link to post Share on other sites
