The Weather Where You Live

And how those weather tested men, did it.
Managed their galleons

1500 was a tough time in navigation.

3:40AM now
No Hillary

 

Hilary has been down graded.

 

Dipped back down into the 50's last few days. Winter is coming folks. Dust off the crockpot, wash the warm blankets, figure out what channel is that god forsaken Hallmark movie channel again. Time to prep.

 

Don’t drop your guard yet!

 

The media and weather people here are telling all to brace and batten down the hatches for the hurricane coming out of MX, so far here at 11AM light rain is getting a bit heavier. All the fear NOW is due to the Lahaina disaster.

 

Unlike many areas that actually experience hurricanes, the SoCAL and Arizona areas Hilary approaches just don't get that kind of rain. The last CA hurricane was in 1039, they say.

My bet is that the impact could be greater there than similar conditions would be in FL or somewhere that receives this level of predicted rain all the time.

 

You are right absolutely. Any hurricane no matter what level is dangerous. What we call a tropical storm would seem like a hurricane to some people.

 

Wish we could get temps in the 50's.

 

Happy Easter! You still use imperial?

Here in Germany: Grey sky, due to Sahara sand particles, and 10°C

 

Here in Southwest Florida it is roughly 63° with clear skies at 2:45 a.m.

 

That's hot or cold?

 

All depends on ones preferences. To me it's just cold enough to require a light long sleeve shirt which soon becomes warm enough to remove for a bit.

 

I don't know your imperial system and I'm not willing to learn it. Could you please be so kind and translate those F.things into °C?

 

So much for GoreBull Warming, huh?

 

66 degrees now... Mostly sunny and clear, 70's and 80's rest of the week. Texas Coast.

 

I don't know Celsius so I google for conversion. 63F = 17.2222 C

Where I am, its 7am and a nice 68F with the forecast of a high of 81F. Going to be a nice day.

 

That is your morning weather.

The issue is climate change.

 

Here in America we are taught both C and F... although wew routinely use F. C is for science class and engineering courses.

I don't think I have ever heard anyone say "I am not willing to learn it" about anything before. Very strange.

 

Today, the United States, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands are the only countries that exclusively use Fahrenheit temperatures. Some other nations use both systems, including Belize, the British Virgin Islands, and Bermuda.

As you point out, centigrade is used in science and the other countries.

I'm not really sure why someone in Europe should spend time on Fahrenheit. The real question is why we keep it alive.

 

Because it's fundamental to how the country is built.

Wall studs are 16 inches on center, not 40.64 cm.

That's why you never see metric anything in a hardware store.

 

Centigrade is not a measure of length. And, it makes more sense in that freezing is 0 and boiling at sea level is 100.

But, the real point is that almost everyone in the world uses Centigrade. In the US, it's used throughout science, in weather, etc.

For many, its interesting to know what science is finding.

 

With all respect: All countries are built on ancient measurement systems, and the one the USA adapted is one of them, having been used in the UK. There was not only one of them, but many, and the trades suffered for centuries. But all industrialized countries changed to metric. One not.
The past of the nations was built on some queer to funny measurement systems, building the future will be metric.

 

Shorts and t-shirt tonight and probably just shorts and no shirt during the hottest part of the day tomorrow.

We did not even briefly touch freezing this winter.

 

It may be logically tidy, but it's also practically meaningless.

32 is freezing, 212 is boiling. Everybody in this country has known that since they were kids.

What would changing now buy us besides confusion?

 

Not in this country.

But y'all are free to carry on as you see fit.
