Administrator Stan 18,368 Posted July 26, 2019 Administrator Share Posted July 26, 2019 Had a lot of thunder overnight. A secondary alarm clock for me. Glad it's cooler today and hopefully much more manageable when getting around. Don't mind a bit of rain actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted July 26, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 26, 2019 42 C° here yesterday, it was supposed to get colder today, but they corrected the prediction and now we'll get 40 C° again. It doesn't get much colder at night, so there's no way to cool down the flat I usually don't complain about summer weather, but this is too much over 4-5 days.

I read an article on BBC and I'm surprised I wasn't aware of it before but keeping windows & curtains shut during the day help stop the inside of the room/flat get hotter. Stops hot air getting in and keeps heat out. Then at night open the windows to get any through-breezes in. Also, stick your (clean!) socks in the fridge and wear them because having cooler feet helps lower the rest of your body temperature.

It's just a cooling effect. After a certain temperature, even that doesn't do much. Had 31 C° in the flat yesterday. If you keep your windows and curtains closed all day, the air becomes really sticky and unbreathable, I'd rather deal with the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted September 1, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) The UK always gets the backlash from one of these for some reason. Hurricane Dorian: Bahamas braces for category four storm The Bahamas is bracing for Hurricane Dorian, which strengthened into a category four storm over the weekend. The "extremely dangerous" storm was expected to hit the island chain on Sunday, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said, before making landfall on the US east coast. Residents in Grand Bahama were preparing by boarding up businesses and evacuating the storm's predicted path. The storm surge could be as high as 15ft (4.6m), officials warned. Authorities closed some airports in the outlying islands, but the main international airport remains open on Sunday. The storm was on Sunday morning about 125 miles east of the Bahamas' Great Abaco Island, moving westward at 8mph (13km/h) with maximum sustained winds of nearly 145mph (225km/h). After hitting the Bahamas, it was expected to move up the US coast, grazing Florida, which had expected a direct hit but appeared to have been spared the worst by a change in the storm's path.

Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted September 9, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 9, 2019 Apparently the Met Office have snubbed these reports of the coldest winter in 30 years saying it's very difficult to predict that far ahead even with the extensive technology.

I don't like wind and rain but I love the wind if its snowing and blowing all the snowflakes everywhere. Not a bad morning so far as when I woke up at 05.00 it was misty and drizzly but now it's become sunny and cloudy but the rain has moved on...so far, better for me as I am heading off later to pick the grandson up from school and bring him back here, he loves the rain and splashing around in the puddles with his wellies on.
