Transcriber Weather
Re: Transcriber Weather
I replaced the screen on my front door. We open two doors for a great source of moving air. I have to ensure the screens are closed so that we keep thing OUT. Two gold finches this spring. Their little hearts beat wildly as I catch them to send them out and on their way!

Pouring rain and delightfully cool
Anyone want to volunteer for "Man overboard" drill?

Re: Transcriber Weather
Beautiful blue sky this morning and no wind and despite the sun having risen 2 hours ago its 6C! Actually I'm not complaining, I don't like it hot.

Re: Transcriber Weather
Every time I look at the forecast for this coming weekend they raise the temperature. Now they are forecasting 38 Saturday and 39 Sunday here in Kent. They're forecasting 36 for Seattle both days.
Re: Transcriber Weather
Now they're forecasting 41 for Kent this coming Sunday.
Re: Transcriber Weather
Horrible!
Re: Transcriber Weather
I just checked the forecast for Portland, Oregon, and it's 45 for Sunday.
Re: Transcriber Weather
I'm looking at two forecasts for us. Typically the European model forecasts maximum temperatures about four degrees low when clear skies are expected. It's the influence of the water, which surrounds Victoria on three sides. The Canadian model has a much smaller grid spacing, so it can account for locations that are just a few miles from the water.
Here are the forecasts from the two models:
The record maximum June temperature for the University of Victoria, which is the location for the forecast above, is 32.2C. The record for Victoria International Airport is 33.5. It has a longer period of record than does the university.
If I used the four degree rule for the European model, I could argue for 37, but it doesn't seem reasonable to me. I guess we'll soon find out. Either way, it will be hot!
Here are the forecasts from the two models:

Re: Transcriber Weather
Awful! I don't know how you deal with that, I can't cope when it gets to about 30C. Best wishes to anyone in the area affected.

Re: Transcriber Weather
Phew. I can cope with mid thirties somewhere pretty dry, like parts of Egypt but much over 25c in humid Glasgow has me hunting for somewhere cooler. Mind you, our Greek students were moaning about the heat when I know from experience that Greece could get hotter. 'It's the humidity' they panted plus the fact that our architecture doesn't cope well with heat while theirs doesn't cope with cold as I can vouch for having taught there one January with inches of snow in Athens and frost In Patras where I was teaching on an Erasmus course.
Re: Transcriber Weather
I escape to the basement, where it will be 20 degrees Fahrenheit cooler at the start of a stretch of hot weather, but if it stays hot for a few days, the basement is nearly as hot as it is upstairs.

Re: Transcriber Weather
Wow! The water is a big help.
Re: Transcriber Weather
Not for us. We're about four km from the water, so the sea breeze doesn't make it this far inland. You really notice it, though, if you are very close to the water.
Re: Transcriber Weather
This is where we are at 4:00 PM
