Summer is here

[iTwitch]

First day of summer, days will be getting shorter. Fall is coming. :)

[treblah]

Summer sucks. :(

[dmw007]

Greetings first day of summer (although, I prefer spring and fall over this season). :)

[Tanglewood]

I really have no plans for summer besides work. Though Comic-Con and Warped Tour should be welcome breaks.

EDIT: Here is the weather for the first day of summer in San Diego (http://www.weather.com/outlook/health/airquality/local/92121?lswe=92121&lwsa=Weather36HourAirQualityCommand&from=whatwhere)- 75 and cloudy. If you're from anywhere else (http://uk.weather.com/weather/local/USCA0982?x=0&post=post&code=code&y=0)it's 21 and cloudy.

1st day of winter here!!!

Ski season started two weeks ago but there's not much on the ground yet.

Mind you, I don't think you can really call it winter if you're used to the US/Canadian winters....

I was going to convert these to °F for all you crazy americans but then I though "nah."

It's nice here :) we had some hot weather but it's being balanced out by torrential rain and strong winds. thinking about going up to the moors for another life threatening experience... I haven't spoke about the last time I went up!

We had hot weather for weeks, every day was sunny. But that was coming to an end, apparently storms were expected to fall on Manchester and Wales. So I headed up to the moors to catch some shots of the lightning on the horizon. yea. that was clever! I'm up on the most dangerous landscape in England (probably?) deep in the vast plains with a camera about 7 miles from the nearest human. with NO phone signal! I'm up there. walking about. theres a squeek coming from the ground. I look around to find nothing. it continues. squeek squeek. like a mouse. but I chase it onto a flat dried up bog. still squeeking! always 2 foot ahead of me. I'm thinking "YEY! I've gone crazy!". until I see a tiny bird way up in the sky circling me. I think it was that. I HOPE it was that! and not some bog monster or whatever.
So. everythings fine. I drop a sort of 8' deep trench in the ground. only... THUNDER! I'm buggered. the wind has blown the thunder towards me. it starts to spit every so lightly. I'm still in this winding trench trying to find a way up. flash. I start running. flash 2. I think "eff it. I'm climbing up" then continue to dial up Caroline and with the hands free headphones I'm talking to her as I sprint over the moors when signal permits. lightning flashing, hitting the ground about 500 yards behind me, torrential rain battering me. Everything is black at midday only broken up by the constant flashing of the lightning. It was so eerie. so wonderful. I get to the moor peak and start climbing down. Somehow the storm slows. I'm at the bottom now, drenched. There was a family heading up the easy way to the tops. I say "don't go up, theres a storm on the tops". "we'll take our chances" they said. fools. I ran to the other end of the reservoir (the foothills of this particular moor), sat on a bench and watched as the storm came over. I walked the long way home so to keep the storm just hovering behind. Whats weird was how isolated the storm was.

good day it be.

1st day of winter here!!!

Funny, your winter looks a bit like our summer. :D

What on earth is Thursday? Fog?

[Lau]

What on earth is Thursday? Fog?

I think so. Fog in summer. I <3 Scotland. :D (Seriously though, I do rather like the weather up there. Nice and cold, with exciting changeability. :D)

Edit: On the BBC, there's no mention of fog, but it says it's going to snow today. :p

That had me wondering what it is as well. Looks rather creep..... :eek: ;)

I hate summer. :(



Me too.

Summer makes me moodier, crankier, tireder.

Everything badder ...

I hate leaves and I hate the sun.

[sushi]

Move to Germany. Sometimes the sun doesn't show for days, or it shows for very short periods. Bleak weather. :eek:

You'd probably like the British summer. I'm not a fan of abroad summers. just constant sun until Autumn. but here, today. it's warm. it's absolutely chucking it down outside. I mean I was in Manchester about an hour ago and people were hiding in doorways from the huge amounts of wind and rain.

now rain I like. I like the balance. bit of heat, bit of rain. always good! for me at least.

[combatcolin]

F**k off Summer.

Months and months of sweaty bollocks and bad nights sleep.

[Jaffa Cake]

I loves me some cloud. :)

[MacNut]

Hey, summer rocks, You can't go to the beach in the winter with snow on the sand, It makes for cold walks and frostbite.:p

16°C MacNut. Celsius... it's better, just deal with it. :p ;)

if you like beaches... frankly I don't so I'm not missing much. though Manchester is building it's own beach. I swear we're the little inner-country city that could.

Yep, that's pretty warm.... Good thing it's cooling off at night though, 17°C is a nice drop after 42°C during the day.

That's what I miss living down here on the coast rather then in the mountains where I used to be, you'd get hot days like that up there but it would cool right off at night, down here it'll be 40°C+ during the day but then the humidity keeps the heat in and it will cool down to maybe 30°C (85°F) at night - awful stuff, you spend all of summer trying to get to sleep.

[Jaffa Cake]

16°C MacNut. Celsius... it's better, just deal with it. :p ;)Don't forget either that I took that screengrab at 7pmish, so obviously the temperature was cooling off. Why, at the hottest part of the day today, temperatures here reached a balmy 17°C...

Ooohhh, time to hit the beach at Cleethorpes I think :)

Got to love that cloud, though. :)

[xPismo]

Lol. All of a sudden this whole thread became the old men scene from Mony Python. "we lived in a shoe box in the middle of the road" "pfft, luxury!"

As i detest everything dashboard I won't be showing you my widgets but its in the 80-90's here today too. I <3 it to death.

Going to school in San Francisco make you really appreciate the weather down here on the peninsula. I think I make take a bike ride in the near future just to enjoy it some more.

Too hot for June, Summer Solstice or not..

Blech

I can't quite say **** THAT in a loud enough voice. I'd be moving after the first 5 minutes.

[Chip NoVaMac]

First day of summer, days will be getting shorter. Fall is coming. :)

Yeah, was reminded by our TV weatherman of that fact. Sad since work has been such a bear of late. Haven't gotten to enjoy the longer days so far, and less likely as the months go on. :(

[SodaPopMonster]

Am I the only one who likes it hot?
I love summer.

[dextertangocci]

It's winter for me.

[Stampyhead]

Psht, no one does summer like Southern Arizona. It's been summer here for the past two months. This screenshot was taken at 8:45pm.

i hope its a decent summer. I'm working at a camp and its supposed to rain on monday (the first day) :rolleyes:

This is off-topic, but this thread made me think of asking...

I've noticed that the OS X weather widget can be either red or blue, but what determines this?

the "red"/maroon color i think is for night where blue is day

[iTwitch]

Cooled off, but now it's just plain muggy. I prefer hot and muggy, makes me feel better about running the AC.

[stylum]

sadly here we always end winning this sort of things... and to think it's just June :(

[EricNau]

I guess your right. I always thought that's what the moon was for. :o

[CubaTBird]

There is nothing going on where I live during summer. All those "friends" I made at college are all of a sudden "busy". Go figure..:rolleyes:

[raggedjimmi]

You and me both. in this super-rural place I live I've got 3 close mates, 1 went off to study at some restaurant (he's doing some food course or something), another has jetted off to Turkey and the last has joined up with a boy-racer and we don't see him anymore. Infact he's become a massive arse.

oh and of course my whole family go off for holiday to Poland for a month. parents, siblings, cousins, grandparents. all gone. really is just me left here looking after the dog! but it's great for peace n quiet. if my girlfriend didn't come over then I'd probably go crazy through loneliness!

[trainguy77]

And this is warm for Calgary. Yes we have had hotter weather but this is very nice. :)

[TheAnswer]

Not too bad here compared to most places, but I did pick the wrong weekend to try and give up air conditioning.
