94 degrees F here in NE Ohio, and no breeze. Just 89% humidity and a hot breath. I'm melting......  |

97 here but the humidity is seldom higher than 20 percent. I die when I have to go East. Can't handle that humidity.

36ºC or about 95ºF in my part of Toronto. So humid the rocks are sweating.
Smog alert. Heat alert. Storm alert. And Strong wind gusts.
All these alerts tire me out.
I wish it would snow.

In contrast to the more central parts of the US the weather here in the UK has turned miserably cold with overcast skies and rainstorms. Being a small island stuck out in the North Atlantic Drift (what's left of the Gulf Steam by the time it reaches us) we have a fairly temperate, not 'continental' climate. I read, though, that Washington is having unusually heavy rain.
But June in the UK is traditionally 'Flaming June'. There was an old saying about English summers: 'It's warmer remember in June and September'.
Daytime temperatures in the south east have been between 11 and 14 degrees Celsius, that's around 52 to 57 degrees F. Humidity has been very high, quite often 'actual precipitation' as the weather people say. It was a darn sight warmer in April.
Oh well, that's yet another old saying gone up the Swanee.

Like the many Europeans that think of cowboys when they think of North America, my thoughts have always turned to Sherwood Forrest or Stonehenge when I think about the U.K. Never been across the pond, probably never will. I'm glad Peter, Paul, John, and Rachel (sounds like a folk group) are members here and post photos for us to see of foreign lands.

It's now 2:10 AM Thursday morning in middle Georgia, USA, and the outside temperature is 79 degrees! We've been seeing daytime highs of 95~98 degrees on average for the past week and it reached 100 degrees a few days back. We're also in a bad drought that's been going on all year.
Peter, my last "Summer" in England (Suffolk Co.) was 1987 and as I recall we didn't have much of one. It was cold and wet almost continuously. I left East Anglia in October in a down pour.

I can remember many wet summers here in the UK but in recent years we have had some really hot ones. Watching the news and seeing the flooding in many parts of the country, I think we've missed the worse of the rain here in East Anglia. Even so it's hardly been summery. Fingers crossed for July and August. Like the many Europeans that think of cowboys when they think of North America, my thoughts have always turned to Sherwood Forrest or Stonehenge when I think about the U.K. Never been across the pond, probably never will. I'm glad Peter, Paul, John, and Rachel (sounds like a folk group) are members here and post photos for us to see of foreign lands. I've never been to Sherwood Forest and I can't sing Randy  |

Rachel,
What more qualification does a folk group singer need?

In an "average" year here, we get about 10 inches of precipitation. I see parts of Texas got 18 inches in 24 hours!! That would be like standing under a waterfall all day.

It's been hot here too...but not 100°...only the 90s...but very humid. Rained a LOT yesterday (at least downtown...out my way, about 40miles north, it hardly rained at all...my lawn is turning brown and getting crunchy  ) The storm that passed through seemed to lower temp and humidity, though. Today is a relatively pleasant, if mostly cloudy, 80+° day.......... |

...my lawn is turning brown and getting crunchy. I always looked forward to that. I could go 2 - 3 weeks between mowings! |

The wettest June since records began over here. Cold and windy too. The poor people in the Don valley in Yorkshire got hit by a years rainfall in a day. A dam almost burst (took dozens of fire engines pumping the contents down a storm drain to prevent it).
I don't think the weather people have a clue what's going on any more. We are under a 'low' pressure zone which is trapped between high pressures on the continent and out in the Atlantic. But how can it keep on raining? The clouds were obviously full when they came in, but it's been raining for over a week. There must be a hosepipe feeding in at the top!
It'll be too wet to mow our lawns Ron! (Plus I have this little rain dance - Hunya Hunya Ho, Hunya Hunya Hee!!) I do it in the toilet first thing in the morning - never fails!
Regards - John
