Thread: So how's the weather?

Right now where I am it's spring. Overcast, raining (but not too much), a little windy and about 17°C (63°F).

So how's the weather where you are?

Sorry to have to quibble, but it's still winter in the southern hemisphere.

It is +24 Celsius in Oxford (+75 Fahrenheit), sunny, and summer.

Its a fairly sunny late summer day. This, among other reasons, is why you will not be seeing me for a few days on TC.

I can't tell because it's dark...

Sorry to have to quibble, but in New Zealand the official first day of spring is 1 September, NOT the 21st . We don't follow Northern Hemisphere conventions, don't have to, not a colony any more, y'know.

It is 16 degrees here in Auckland, the daffodils and tulips are nearly over, magnolias flowering, tender young leaves on the oak, blossom appearing on the peach and quince trees, lime and lemon groaning with fruit, and lambs growing rapidly in Cornmwall park, our city farm.

70 degrees Fahrenheit and cool. Finally... sometimes I really miss Scottish weather.

I didn't know that--no offence was intended. I'm from Canada (although I live in the UK), and winter there, generally speaking, lasts five months in a good year, and six months in a bad one.

Funny you asked.

There was a tornado warning at my university this afternoon. I was in my practice room, watching the wind and rain beat hard against the window, when a lady with a walkie-talkie told me to get to the basement of my School of Music ASAP. So, went down there for about 10 minutes, hanging out with other musicians who all evacuated their practice rooms too. Then the warning cleared, and I went back up to practice some more. The storm is gone, and it's just cool and cloudy this evening.

Sounds like fun.

Beautiful overcast spring day. Hardly any wind and it is a very boring 12°C (54°F). Apparently it's meant to rain a bit today but nothing has happened yet.

Its pi$$ing down and has been for the last week or two, abso blooming lutly the worst winter I have had in the last 40+ years I may have to migrate to sunny England for some decent weather.

Beautiful sunny spring day.

(But kinda boring really...)

It is a beautiful Summer day here. It got up to about 80°F (27°C) where I'm at. Just a little too hot.

Come to Jafaland, Andante, it's another beautiful sunny mild day today.

Just started raining. It was a beautiful weather earlier in the morning and afternoon. I enjoyed driving around with my Subaru friends

No worries, it took me some getting used to. We have the opposite thing, winter in Auckland is not really wintery, flowers all year round and lots of evergreens. When I went to England in June it was colder in the English summer than our New Zealand winter.
