Khan Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 We've started getting sunny here after weeks of rain. Don't know how long it will last though as forecast Fox says rain on saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Think we had 8 days without rain in the entire month of July. Which is ok by me, since I've been working two jobs again since May. As long as it is nice for the fall when I get to enjoy my new home int he country.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Good news: No rain for 1.5 weeks at leastBad news: HEAAAAAT. Farking 29 Celsius today, above 30 with humidity. tomorrow 31 Celsius before humidity. Luckily it does cool off at 6PM. So it is only really hot between 1PM and 5PM. We luckily have a breeze and tomorrow wind supposed to get 20km/h and 40km/h gusts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Same here Andrew. Last week has been brutal. I've been baking in my apartment. With the fan aimed directly at full blast, shades closed, glass of ice water and a freeze I'm still boiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 28 today(33 humidity), 30 tomorrow, 30 Wednesday. :(EDIT:ughh. guy on radio said with humidity is feels like 38 celcius.How do Americans go outside with it like this in the summer? I presume it is much hotter down there (eastern seaboard) than here right now. I know your houses/work all have air conditioning (instead of heaters like in Canada), but walking outside for any amount of time sucks. Guess it is opposite of Canadian -40 celcius winters.EDIT:ugh, humidex of 40 tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Oh great, Hurricane Bill is going to hit my area. Last time we had a hurricane it did lots of damage. and with trees still full of leaves it could do massive damage with 150km/h winds. If it turns left a bit and hits land it will suck.Last hurricane was Hurricane Juan.EDIT:Awesome, it is moving leftward directly towards me.

gryphon Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 you guy's always need to complain... In two days I am going to a place where's it's 39C at the moment. It's going to be a few degrees more when I arrive this weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veK Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 when I was at the decibel outdoor festival in hilvarenbeek last weekend it was so unbelievably hot in the sun. I didn't even try to dance at the mainstage until the the sun was gone and had to stick to the "floors" that were in big tents or did spent some shadow otherwise. I wanted to jump into the lake so badly but I didn't have any clothes to change or a towel with me. next year I'll bring one for sure.yesterday we had an incredibly hot day and although there was a thunder storm with some rain later that evening it only got a little bit cooler at night. I really hat those extremes... either it's way too cold or way too hot. It seems there's no longer such thing as spring and fall in this area with warm but not too hot temperatures. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 This week's getting colder. +12 today, compared to about +20 a few days ago. Annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Crap. Hurricane really is most likely going to hit.They say even if it doesn't hit directly we will be getting >100mm of rain. That is what we normally get in a month or two. If you look back in this thread we got leftover of one hurricane last fall which gave 90mm of rain, and did water damage. Lots of construction going on so probably lots of washouts. Now saying 150mm of rain in worst areas. That is 3 months of rain in 24 hours.There has never been a Category 3 hurricane make landfall in Atlantic Canada. Category 2 has only hit 7 times in 50 years.With leaves on trees they will all get knocked down.Gonna have to start eating frozen food before power goes out. If it is supposed to be bad probably some panicking tomorrow by people. Currently direct path for Eastern Seaboard of N.S. and Halifax (largest city in Atlantic Canada).http://www.stormpulse.com/and enable forecast models.

Andrew Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hurricane bill is about to hit.Getting rain, no wind currently. It is part of outer arm of storm. Quite a bit of rain as according to radar didn't like it would last this long (probably 20-30mm in past 30min). My area has no warnings at all. But I'll still be getting 40mm of rain and 70km/h winds.Rain stopped for 5 min, now getting buckets of rain for 2 minutes. Not much showing on RADAR though. weird. Ha, stopped raining for a couple minutes, then a couple minutes of heavy rain.EDIT:Doesn't look like I'll get much more rain (probably scattered showers). a bit of wind. Cape Breton is screwed with heavy rains and wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Starting to wonder if after making that last edit Andrew was hit worse by the storm and is now one of the thousands in the Maritimes without power.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Nope, the hurricane was nothing big. It was only bad for cape breton mostly and along south/east nova scotia shoreline.Thankfully the heat is gone! 20-25 celsius max. looks like lots of sun for the week.

Mahdi Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Same here. Supposed to be around 19 for the next little while! Perfect, since I get my new house on Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hurray, tropical storm danny is gonna hit here Sunday. Most likely worse than hurricane bill for me as the forecast is a direct hit, So we'll get faster wind speeds on right hand side of storm. Too early to tell exactly what will happen.

Andrew Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Danny is just bringing us lots of rain. Got rain warning. 50-70mm expected, with 100mm possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Just about 16 hours ago gryphon seated himself in a Audi Sport (that doesn't handle climate controle as well as you would expect it to) with just over 40 degrees and a perfect blue sky. when I got out I was both sick from listening to Radio Regenbogen for over 500km, and the local weather of 10 degrees and rain. This is bound to give me a headache for the rest of the weekend :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 One location is reporting 69mm of rain. And that is for yesterday. It rained for about 4 hours after midnight, so maybe add another 20mm or so. One person recorded 110mm.Danny is gone now, currently hitting Newfoundland.EDIT:Yep, 38.4mm yesterday. So 107mm in less than 24 hour period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandChigger Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 The summer over here sucked. ALL summer. The rainy season came in June and never left. (It's supposed to end in mid-July or so.)Then I was back in Ohio for most of September and it was fantastic! It only rained maybe four or five days the whole time I was there. (Of course they had too much rain and flooding down south, in Georgia and all.)Then I get back over here and ... it was cloudy and rainy again. Until a typhoon roared through around the 8th and cleared things up.We've had the <i>aki-bare</i> "autumn clear" since, for the most part since. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldebaran Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Here in Athens today it was the first really cold day of the season. It was raining a few days ago but the weather wasn't very cold, today it was sunny but the temperature was fairly lower.From today I will have to dress up heavily and this probably means I will have to wake up earlier :- ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
