You warm-weather degenerates in the southern hemisphere don't know what a real Christmas feels like

Re: The Weather Thread
One time I saw snow in mid December and I thought the world was going to end.
I cannot fathom a temperature below -25 but I am sure I would find it more pleasant than 2 million.

Re: The Weather Thread
Pretty much gonna be identical here. The only positive is that we were also supposed to get a foot of snow with our -45° real feel temps and 60mph winds, but that’s been lowered to just a couple inches.

Re: The Weather Thread
Maybe one day. At least it's not bloody raining or anything this Christmas. Where I am we've got the following:
Christmas day 32C (89.6F) not too shabby
Boxing day 36C (96.8F)
Day after boxing day 38C (100.4F) this one will be annoying because it's supposed to rain that night too, get reeeeeaaal humid.
Give me your winter

Re: The Weather Thread
I think 'Real Feel' is just an 80 year old man who thinks it's Minus 25C when he's a single degree too cold at 19C and 58C when he's a single degree too hot at 23C
If they're just making shit up anyway, why not have hyperbole feel?
It's 38... Feels like: Hotter than hell while you're forced to eat the hottest chilli ever grown and all you can wash it down with is lava.
Real feel... Fuck off with that bullshit already.
Just walk up to random strangers in the street who don't know what the actual temperature is and ask them how hot THEY think it is for a more accurate representation.
Hmm it's 19 in here... Feels like fucking 19 because that's a recorded actual measurement.

Don't think we've ever seen this before! It's crazy to see this absolutely massive cold front.
Agreed, we'll swap every year

Re: The Weather Thread
I went to check my mail and get rid of some trash. On a lark, with me just in my slippers, t-shirt, and PJ bottoms, I thought I'd open the door just now and see how cold it was.
I regretted this decision.....

Re: The Weather Thread
The balloons the Chinese were using to spy on the American weather are a sign if desperation for countries in SE Asia to learn how Americans deal with concealing the weather from the general population.

Re: The Weather Thread
Was so warm and windy out my way that by the time I finished hanging my washing out to dry the first things I put on the line were dry already.
True it took me a while to hang it all out in the heat, but I like when it dries so fast it doesn't have a chance to get dusty again.

Re: The Weather Thread
That's pretty disgusting. I think we had 38 or 39 yesterday, today is better at 28 but it seems warmer than that right nowDr. Zoidberg wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 3:40 pm A bit of a warm one today. It's currently 41°C (105.8°F).

The cool change has come through. It's now 22, which is good.

Re: The Weather Thread
We had in the SE 41*C followed by a quick drop to 22 with very high level sheet lightning and about 30 seconds of rain while the sun was out at 41 degrees. Crazy day. But at least it was a dry heat so didn’t feel too bad.

Re: The Weather Thread
I thought I heard some heavy rain here for a small patch in the middle of the day so I looked out my window and the clouds didn't seem threatening... A few minutes later I took a look at the paths and they were all bone dry so I told myself that the rain must have been in my head.
Maybe it wasn't in my head... Maybe it did piss down for 15-20 seconds and then it was so hot that by the time I got up and looked out the doors at the paths all the rain had evaporated?

Re: The Weather Thread
Yeah that’s what happened. The ground was hot enough to fry a frigging egg.
