Between all the sex, religion, random-news and "do this-and-this looks good?" threads I decided to make this different yet horribly cliché topic.

So, how's the weather over there?

For me, it's epic. I live in Holland, normally known for it's shitty ass weather with the seasons "autumn, cold autumn, mild autumn, autumn", where it is about 27 C (about 80 F for you non-Europe people, and the British :P) right now; the best place to be in the whole of Europe, woohoo! The forecast is that it won't really change, maybe the temperature will drop a degree or 2, maybe a wee bit more clouds but nothing impressive. Won't hear me complaining about the weather, and thát's rare for us Dutchies ;)

Europe here too, Sweden, more precisely.
And I am glad to say that we appear to have exactly the same weather.
Though it seems it will become slightly colder here the coming week.

UK here, in the cold 'up North' only it's not, it's gorgeous. 26 at the moment and looks like it's going to stay in the 20s all week*.

I can't quite believe it, but looks like we may actually get a summer this year.

* We converted to decimal (including centigrade) a while ago don't ya know.

Snowed a few days ago, we got 10cms. It's mostly gone and about 6 degrees Celsius, still now patches though. Supposed to have thunderstorms starting at 3pm. I hate Calgary.

Fairly warm (about 20 centigrade), but also very cloudy.
I'd much prefer if it rained heavily or was really sunny, none of this in-between rubbish.

sunny and warm.

50 for a low, 80ish for a high. 19% humidity. perfect desert weather.

clear skies and 25C though I'm sure it approached oven temperature in my undies last night

sadly I haven't played in the grass today :(

I never knew we had even used Fahrenheit, was this back when dinosaurs roamed?

but thats what England is all about! predictable mediocrity seems to be the key to empire

its been wonderful here... hot and sunny, not a cloud in the sky, for days! :)

we had a BBQ this afternoon, been out for a couple of drives with the roof down, and are now eating ice lollies :D

I can't be bothered with an empire, it sounds like too much hard work.
played in the grass???
I always wondered why there's two different systems for measuring temperature, fahrenheit and celsius.
*dramatic voice*
It's another mystery of the universe!
*/dramatic voice*

It's really hot for here, it must be said. Mid-twenties degrees celcius.:D

Outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA (GO PENGUINS!) and it's springtime for Steel Butterfly.

Right now the wind is going crazy. Traffic lights are out of power all over town lol. It should storm soon.

More thunderstorns and tornadoes last night. Nice now, but a little windy since the cold front came through.
Low around 50, High near 70 in the hills of N. Alabama.

Here. (http://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/) We have a typhoon, and 'nother storm coming.

Its been hot all week in England :cool: :)
Can't wait for summer!!!:D:D:D

I woke up to Tornado sirens, and heavy wind pounding the apartment...Then i rolled over and went back to bed.

Fairly warm (about 20 centigrade)

We use Celsius. Fahrenheit is arbitrary and obselete. Centigrade just means 'on a scale of one hundred' so is rather meaningless.

Anyway, rant on ignorance over, it's fecking hot here. No doubt this will be nicer weather than most of the 'summer'. Quite amazing we had snow less than a month ago.

It's warm and there's a summer thunderstorm. (:

It's been hot, hot hot - about 25 degrees every day this week.

The strange thing is that spring just seems to have vanished - two weeks ago I still had the heating on, it was that cold. It's as if it all changed over night, rather than over a season.

It's cold and rainy here in PA.

It's almost winter here in Oz and the temp is 20C. That isn't really ice-cream eating weather over here :)

Won't hear me complaining about the weather, and thát's rare for us Dutchies ;)

I will complain for you then
It is TOO BLOODY HOT.

Can it go back to the optimum temperature of 293 K now ? Thank you.

Hail Kelvin.

*Facepalm* I knew that. I ... blame the weather for overheating my brain. That's it!

I personally I have never used Fahrenheit and have never gotten my head round it, but I know my grandparents and others of their generation still do.

Lovely here, sunny and warm. Unfortunately, I'm in work all this week, where the powers that be haven't figured out that it's time to turn the heating off. And just to make things a little warmer, I have to wear a proper suit, including a jacket :(

Terrible. 40 mph winds, 50 degrees (F, not C, screw you, science!), and pouring rain. It's going to be really nice the next two days, though. Mid-70s and sunny.

Philly? B/c that's where I am.

We've been having tornadoes aka spring.

And yet you still can post on NS. I salute you, sir.

Milan, Northern Italy here. 27 °C (around 300 K if you prefer), half overcast, no wind at all. Low pressure (let's say something around 1005 hPa), high humidity (a nice 85%). I guess that tomorrow we'll enjoy a drizzle.

We switch between two wind modes here. 350 days/year no wind. The other 15 days include 70-to-100 km/h blizzards from the Alps, 80-to-120 km/h non-tropical cyclones from the Mediterranean with some Sahara sand, 100-to-130 burans from Siberia in spring, and occasionally a windmill.

Ma'am ;)

And alas, I'm not at work at the moment. I don't have a computer at work, just a pen and paper. So not only will I sweat to death, I won't even be able to get on NSG to post about it! :p

The weather's been playing silly beggars down my way. Really hot except for last Friday when we had a thunderstorm with torrential rain and even hail.

Gray chilly drizzle. I was hoping for spring in March, but in Michigan that's unrealistic. Then I was hoping for spring in April, but it kept snowing off and on until I even got frost on my car windows the last morning of April. I'm hoping for spring in May, and we've had a couple nice days (Saturday was great) but today is not one of them.

Trivia: Anders Celsius actually calibrated his temperature scale with 100 degrees as the freezing point of water and 0 degrees as the boiling point, measuring degrees of coldness or whatever. Somebody had to point out to him that it would make better sense the other way around.

Fahrenheit calibrated his scale with 0 degrees as the freezing point of saturated salt water, because that was the coldest temperature that he could make artificially (by pouring salt into ice water). 100 degrees was supposed to be human body temperature, but he was running a bit of a fever due to overwork. He tried re-setting the scale to 96 degrees for human body temperature, because it is divisible by a lot of numbers, in particular he guesstimated that freezing point of distilled water, "32" degrees, was one-third of the way from his "0" to the human temperature, and that is what stuck.
