The last few days here have been unusually warm this would make a nice change from the frequent rain if it still wasn't extremely humid. There is so much water in the air sweat doesn't evaporate it just sits there covering you. I'm beginning to miss the rain.

[Yoink]

Had some unpleasant winds lately, but today was lovely, sunny and busy business-wise.
And now the day ends w/ rain!

[Yoink]

Hey hey hey it's raining and stuff.
The sound is mixing weirdly with the sounds of the neighbour kids and the weird music they're playing over there.
Maybe I'm just tired, so it seems weirder than it is.

Sorry for the triple-post, but it is WAY TOO HOT to be bothered trawling the forums to find the slightly-more-recent Weather thread when I could just look in my created topics and find this one right away instead.

Did I mention it is REALLY HOT? Because it is. I mean, I like the heat so it's not so bad, but damn I am sweating a lot.
Good-bye, electrolytes.

Edit: Huh, apparently it's only 29 degrees! It's humid as heck, though, to make up for it.

This has been the warmest autumn I've ever experienced. 10-20 degrees above historical average (the idiot american ones, keep your shirt on) almost every day, and no frost.

[Starver]

We had snow, Wednesday morning (got pebble-dashed round the ankles by a gritter, Tuesday night), and it's warmed a big but I've never seriously considered going out of an evening without gloves, even if I didn't use them, not heing nesh.

[Yoink]

According to Google, it's still 23 degrees here as the time nears midnight, but the humidity is ninety percent.
I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I think I can believe it given how warm it still is at this hour.

And Trump is denying climate change exists.

Arrrrgh.

[Yoink]

GET YOUR FILTHY POLITICS OUT OF HERE, AMERICAN DOG! I'M NOT LOSING ANOTHER THREAD TO THE TRUMP DELUGE

...*Ahem* Sorry.
In more on-topic news, a huge ol' thunderstorm seems like it's about to break here. Been getting severe weather warnings for a couple of days. This should be lovely. I'm drenched with sweat at the moment. Could well lose power, so if you somehow noticing me lurking around less than usual, that's probably why. Or I'm napping.

Well my weather thread is further back so I'll just bump this one.

Yesterday 2.9 Celsius.

Today 8.5 Celsius.

Tomorrow 20.1 Celsius.

Day After 0.7 Celsius.


What the hell, I mean, seriously, just what the hell?

Go home, atmosphere, you're drunk.

Note, the gif was snapped before I noticed the times weren't the same like the links are, hence the differences.

Welcome to polar vortexes, a consequence of anthropocentric climate change. This is our normal now.

[smjjames]

There was also RedKings weather thread though.

Welcome to polar vortexes, a consequence of anthropocentric climate change. This is our normal now.

Do we know how common it did this in the past though? Just good to have a benchmark to work from to see if this is different from normal.

Uh, I think this is due to the ENSO cycle flipping negative if anything, and the warmth spurt washed up from the gulf, this has nothing to do with climate change. Just drunk weather.

This popped up in my head (besides missing RedKing's thread) but I was also wondering if this was just a "if weird winter weather==polar vortex!" type of reaction or what. The polar vortex is just a name for the low pressure systems at the poles, weaker or distrupted behavior of this system can lead to "drips" of cool air down across the middle latitudes which lead to the initial "IT'S THE POLAR VORTEX STRIKING BACK" type of stories over the last few years, but from what I can find there are no stories linking this blob of warm air to the polar vortex, or even really discussing it.

Cold blasts of air from up north have happened off and on long before anyone thought to call it global warming, but warm spells from the south being attributed to the polar vortex? That's new for me.

It did make me curious about what the pressure looked like up there, so here's a montage of our "New Normal" if anyone's interested:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I thought it was pretty interesting watching it progress along as it did/should, and you can see the big low pressure system over the north pacific which was disrupting the polar low pressure system before the one carrying the blob of warm air across me swung up around there with it.

I just wanted to say that it is not snowing here. It is not even threatening to snow here, on the forecasts. I decided to point this out as there are various warnings (and already apparently some instances) of heavy snowfall across the country, but it's not happening here, so it must be notable that it is not for me.

(It has also only been a bit breezy, no violent winds. That was another thing. This may change, but looks as unlikely.)
