SilvrT Posted June 5, 2008 #1 Posted June 5, 2008 It seems more like November or maybe February based on the weather this week. Today's high temp is 10 celcius (49 F) ... normals would be 18 c (64 F). The whole week is going this way... what happened??? May was great...warm...sunny most of the time... I'm even sporting a "farmer's tan" from being out in the sun.... 3 weeks ago I was in my cutoffs...no shirt..and looking for shade! I could go up to the north country and find warmer weather! sheeeeesh! Global Warming??.... not here! If anything, it's getting worse.

GeorgeS Posted June 5, 2008 #3 Posted June 5, 2008 I've noticed that of late, the Wacko's have been kind of quiet about Al Gore, and his stupid book. I don't detect any warming !! Word is the Glaciers on Mt. St. Helens are growing. Not a word about this in the Seattle local press. Guess it does not fit their model.
mini-muffin Posted June 5, 2008 #4 Posted June 5, 2008 Well heck I'll send ya some of our warm weather. Actually strike that it's really hot. Way too hot for this time of year. We're having typical late July into August weather. Yuck. Margaret
Redneck Posted June 6, 2008 #5 Posted June 6, 2008 Its been 104 to 112 here all week the wind hasn't quit its been constant at about 20 mph feels like a giant hair dryer. Way to hot to ride this week.
flb_78 Posted June 6, 2008 #6 Posted June 6, 2008 We've been above 100 degrees for the last 3 days with 30-40 mph winds with gusts above 60mph. We've had 2 wildfires across the highway from work this week already.
OB-1 Posted June 6, 2008 #7 Posted June 6, 2008 Cold & rainy up here, but our 8+ year drought is over! May was the wettest month, ever, on record, and June so far is wet enough to cause flooding in the Black Hills. But, EVERYTHING is green! I'm ready for some drier weather, but you guys down south can keep your 100 degree temperatures all to yourselves. 75 degrees is warm enough for me.
GeorgeS Posted June 7, 2008 #8 Posted June 7, 2008 Maxed out at 58 today, predicting only 60 for the next 5 days. SFO was 54 this morning. All NW states are Cold !! More rain headed East !!! Poured here All Day !! Still Raining My furnace is still running !!!
BuddyRich Posted June 7, 2008 #9 Posted June 7, 2008 I think we went to summer about a month and a half ago.
dr.nemo Posted June 7, 2008 #10 Posted June 7, 2008 Well the hot hazy humid air hit Ontario yesterday, I just went for a ride after work tonight, and currently the temp is 25 degrees and humidex of 31:scorched:, this is at 1:30am... I like the comment someone made about riding into a giant hairdryer, when the humidity is at 100% it sure is sticky...bike handles better tho(almost melted tires grip well)...hehehe..
BigShell Posted June 7, 2008 #11 Posted June 7, 2008 I think we went to summer about a month and a half ago. Compared to last year... yep... it's warmer. Never made it to 100 last year, which is unusual. At least the ride to work in the morning is ok. A cooling vest really helps the ride home. I won't even complain about the winds. Those 20 mph winds help cool you down when caught in traffic or sitting at lights! Today I even caught a couple of brief, light showers on the way home. Now that felt good!
SilvrT Posted June 7, 2008 Author #12 Posted June 7, 2008 Seems there are extremes either one way or 'tother going on...gawd, it's been so long since I've experienced over 100 F temps... but to be honest, even tho I like warm...that's just too HOT!! Could we have just some of it???...how about 10 or 15 degrees??
