What's with this weather?

[Condor]

It's the end of August and usually we're sweating our a$$es off with a 100+ summer heat wave. Woke up this morning to temps in the 50's and rain clouds overhead. Weather man sez it's a cold front out of Alaska and it's going to rain... It's all that damn volcano's fault....

[Flyinfool]

We have been having one of the hottest, most humid AND wettest summers on record.

I thought it was wonderful to wake up to 50 degrees and actually NEED my long sleeve shirt to ride in total comfort.

I hope this sticks aroud for a while, but I know it wont, It is supposed to be back up in the 90s tomorrow with dew points up in the 70's. Bummer

Rain; what's that?

Rain; what's that?

Well, as I understand it, here in Texas, rain is like hail but softer and not frozen.

Looks like all the heat went east this year.... Around here (CA) it's been one of the mildest summers I can remember in the last 40 years. It does happen every once in a while. I remember when a kid growing up outside of Buffalo NY we hardly had any snow one year and they had a storm dump 6" on SoCal. Bet they had a volcano go off then too....

Get out your electric vest !

Our weather guy said our area,Indy, set a record for August 2010 as the driest in recorded history. Sure wish we could have some of the record rainfalls that we had in the spring right about now.

[Mel]

Yep, Indianapolis has had .37 inch of rain for the entire month of August. Average is 4.06 inches. Driest August EVER! I think they said 1888 previous record was like .42 inch.

 

I think they said 31 days so far this year over 90 deg. F, which may not seem extreme to some of you, but I think they said the average is 17 days over 90.

 

Hot and dry sums it up, dry enough to ride but too damn hot most of the time to enjoy it.

 

Global warming? Just saying.

We are supposed to have an absolutely beautiful weekend here in east Tenn. Mid 70's to low 80's with night temps near 50º. Gonna be fall soon.
