The Weather Thread

70°F here and it's actually a little bit sunny today after having some dark cloudy days.

 

[Heldenzeit]

90F at work in San Clemente, CA. Could see all the way to Catalina island. I love working here.

 

[Crash]

It's been in the 80s yesterday and today. It's only April, it should not be this hot already.

The war between Summer and Winter continues!

 

[Adamgp]

75°F and mix of clouds and sun. Pretty nice.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Wind. And lots of it:

25mph gusts for most of the day. Break tomorrow and then back at it on Wednesday. I just want to wash my car!

 

[Casey]

It was really hot today for me today, currently 83°F but i think it got around 90°F or so. Also my steering wheel felt like a hot pan when i was leaving school and could barely keep my hands on it.

Let me know how hot it gets at peak temps...


Then I'll miserably beat your record w/proof

Even the weather is sad, that's not helping me at all.

What it did help me is that it's currently 29°C (84.2°F) compared to last couple days where it reached up to 40°C or so (104°F)

 

[Spacegoat]

Raining for the first time in at least two months. It's supposed to hang around for the next day or two. Fingers crossed it does, we really need it around here.

So Bank Holiday was mostly cold and a washout... next weekend, sunny and apparently hotter than Ibiza...

Not digging the wind, but the temperature drop is welcome.

 

[gnomefromnome]

After a few weeks of high 30's/low 40's with mostly/partly cloudy skies, our temp climbed up a few notches to 45°F today, although the forecast calls for a chance for rain Thursday and Friday.

 

[TB]

It's 90F at 5:00pm. Tomorrow is supposed to be a bit cooler at 83F.

 

[Cowboy]

Red flag warning currently in effect in the region. Pretty warm today, getting to 90°F and some added wind. Weekend doesn't look too bad with 73°F on Saturday.

 

[The87Dodge]

Finally a day in Seattle that is not rainy.

Finally a day in Seattle that is not rainy.

Except it's also way too hot for this time of the year. It's only May. It should still be raining and cool.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Staying up to watch this roll through.

This weekend is brilliant weather. Mid 20s (Celsius) and next to no wind (which is super rare here). Took our 5 month old to the beach today (half hour walk from home) and discovered, not to our great surprise, that she loves the sand between her toes. Heading back tomorrow with some beers and a small picnic to do it again.

 

[AlvaroF]

Wednsday was 28ºC and in the afternoor I was at the beach. Today it has been raining continously since 7 am with 13ºC. It has stopped for now.

I don't think we made it quite to 93 but the high for today is the current temperature: 45F.

With a frost warning for tonight.

 

[gnomefromnome]

High clouds today, temp is the low 40's. Looks like the temp will reach the low 50's this weekend.

 

[Hollow]

Beautiful sunny days enough to make your face melt. Summer hasn't even started properly and this is what it's like.

That's entirely too damn hot!

Meanwhile, back in Fargo, it's slated to be a gorgeous 72F with a 10 MPH breeze.
