what's your local weather?

[Gary Mitchell]

Send it Florida's way, please! It's hot and dry here, and our air conditioning decided to quit working yesterday afternoon.

That sucks.
My whole lawn is pretty much dead. Yesterday the rain formed east of me and moved east so we got to hear the thunder for awhile but got no rain again.

I managed to coax it into working again. A repairman will be out early tomorrow, but a least we've got some cooling at the hottest part of the day.

My lawn has had it, too. Living near the beaches is nice, but not when the sea breeze pushes storm formation east and keeps pushing them that way. We could use a good steady three days of rain. Without the winds and storm surge, of course.

I hope you get some rain soon, Gary!

@Jack Wolfe Glad to here about the A/C and hope you get your much-needed rain.

Thank you! It's still running and the clouds are building. Even heard a rumble of thunder a couple of minutes ago. Maybe today is the day.

Central Finland reporting.
It's starting to feel like summer.

So what is that, about 10 °C?

I don't remember exactly what the temperature was today but forecast says around 17-24C in the upcoming week.

Was just messing with you; summers around my neck of the woods are known for strings of 38 °C (100 °F) or higher days.

There seems to be a misbelief that Finland is always cold and frozen. =) We have summer, yaay. Getting temperatures above 30C isn't unusual but also not very common. It does happen in June, July (and perhaps August?). On the other hand -30C is also something that happens here sometimes. =)

 

[Mrs. Silvercrest]

HOT!

Canada has summer, too!

Last year it was a Tuesday...

Summer, best day of the year?

Are there big bets being made which day it's going to be this year?

I've got July 17 in the pool. Wish me luck!

 

[Velocity]

Thunderstorms moving through.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Finally getting a little rain.

If you have summer the day before that or the next day and no one has bet on it will the closest guess win?

 

[Mrs. Silvercrest]

Sweating Weather...

 

[Jack Wolfe]

Still hot, still no rain. Storms have passed north and south of me on their way to the Gulf the past few days. But the A/C is still behaving itself, so I'll be happy with that.

What is this "rain" of which you all speak? I think I have vague memories of it, but it's been so long I'm not sure.
OK, joking aside, we haven't had any real rain here since Feburary or January.
Yesterday and today we hit at least 107F, so we've hit that time of year, where you start to go outside as little as possible in the afternoons. It wasn't to bad on my bike ride this morning, but it's definitely reaching a point where I have to get out fairly early.

To be honest, I didn't really put that much effort into worldbuilding the rules around what I thought was a one-off joke!

What is this "rain" of which you all speak?

Liquefied snow.

 

[JD]

Snow?
Honestly, I think it's probably been over a decade since I've actually seen snow in person.

I'm jealous!
