O.k. folks, it's back!

What's that in scientifically valid units?

What's that in scientifically valid units?

Hot.

[laklak]

Fucking hot. But it's a dry fucking heat.

[pErvinalia]

That's the nice kind. We get the wet type up here (like you'd get in Florida). I hate it.

[laklak]

It's unpleasantly warm and humid at the moment. I often wonder how the hell people lived here before air conditioning. And screened porches. Fucking mosquitoes can carry a two year old off.

[laklak]

And now we have these motherfuckers buzzing around. I haven't seen one yet, but my daughter caught one at her work, thing was as big as a hornet. We're doomed, I tell ya, doomed.

[pErvinalia]

We get those things. They are slow and funny.

I looked up the latitude of Tampa, and it's almost exactly the same (except North) as Brisbane! We must have very similar weather. (although you've got more water around you, so possibly more humid on average).

Yours are probably poisonous.

Wait til it hits's 130 next week

100 YEAR OLD RECORD
Heat Wave May Break World's Hottest Temperature Record
climatecentral.org Nature 2h

A brutal and potentially historic heat wave is in store for the West as parts of Nevada, Arizona and California may get dangerously hot temperatures starting Thursday and lasting through next week.

All-time records are likely to be threatened in normally hot places — including Death Valley, Calif., which holds the record for the highest reliably recorded air temperature on Earth at 134°F. That mark was set on July 10, 1913, and with forecast highs between 125°F to 130°F this weekend, that record could be threatened. The last time Death Valley recorded a temperature at or above 130°F was in 1913.

Las Vegas and Phoenix, two cities well-known for their hot and dry summers, are also predicted to approach all-time record territory. Last Vegas’ all-time high temperature record is 117°F and Phoenix’s high is 122°F. Excessive heat warnings are in effect in both cities from Friday through Monday.

This is more a result of stalled weather systems......a feature of.....AGW

AGW my hat. The fact that is has sometimes been warm in the past conclusively rules out AGW now.

It's 90 degrees F here. Lovely. I will be availing myself of the screened in patio out back this evening, with a cool beverage.

[Clinton Huxley]

It's cold, windy and drizzling here. I'm going to be forced to sit and drink.

Back to the Mesozoic - the dinos were happy with a warm earth for 200 milliom years.

That's what I like about the UK, the weather always provides a reason to drink.
