Severe Weather?

Postby **Rusty Claymore** » Mon May 30, 2011 10:37 am

Surprisingly, Alaska's weather has been great. Very few rainy days, and have been in the 60-70s for weeks. It hasn't even been overcast for quite some time!

We've finally hit the heat. After being about 70 yesterday, it's about 90 today, and we're hitting the 80's all week (expected).

Though I might have to worry about my apartment since the river behind it is flooding- and I am not there to get my books off the ground.

Was visiting the parents over the weekend, hit 104 yesterday. But it didn't really feel like it.

And dang, Mech... SNOW?!

It's 94 degrees here right now. And I LOVE it! :grin:

It's 97 degrees here right now. And I HATE it.

I was home alone when the tornado came T_T Or, at least we got a bit of it >_> The rest of my family went to a graduation party that was on top of a hill >_> They saw the funnel clouds forming over them O_O I hid in the bath tub, but thankfully things weren't too bad ^__^ Just lots of wind (strong enough to open the front door), rain, and hail O_O

I've noticed something.. The thunder sounds a bit different from a regular thunderstorm and one that comes in before tornadic weather o.O The booms are more sudden somehow.. It's really weird, but there is a difference o.o

Oh yeah, and there was a train (or what sounded like one) that passed through right as things were picking up >_< Talk about trolling me at the most appropriate time (they say a tornado sounds like a train passing through) xD

PS. Everyone is fine ^__^ My family who was at the grad party ducked out in a barn xD; I guess it was headed more into town (where I was) >_< Although, I heard there was lots of down tree branches up town (which is over the other side of the train tracks) o_o

I'm glad to hear you and your family are all okay! So scary. o.o

Wow, that sounds scary as heck! I would have probably had a heart attack and cried like a baby in your situation Tsukuyomi! I'm glad everyone is alright though!

Hmm. Odd, I thought everyone felt that being drenched in sweat was horribly uncomfortable. But since you enjoy it, I guess it wouldn't make sense to you...personally, though, I find being covered in sweat to make myself sticky and uncomfortable, especially when I begin sticking to my computer chair and clothing. I can't imagine anyone thinking that feeling pleasant, but I suppose everyone is different.

Supposedly it hit 90 today, and I loved it. Probably because it wasn't too humid.

And that's pretty crazy weather, Mechana. o__o

Postby **mechana2015** » Mon May 30, 2011 7:10 pm

it was 70, clear and sunny today in that same location, 80 at lower altitudes.

Meh. I think I'm part snake. \(-~-)/ I've lived in the southern states for so long that I enjoy the intense heat and despise any temperature below 75 degrees.

Postby **Nate** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:20 pm

75 degrees is when it starts getting too hot for me. 70-50 is perfect weather, and 49-30 is tolerable.

Postby **Sheenar** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:31 pm

It's too hot outside when I have to plan to wake up at 7 am so I can go do laundry in the laundry building before it gets too hot outside. After about 10:00, it's already in the mid to high 80s --and there's no A/C in the laundry building.

I can't go do my grocery shopping until after the sun sets --it's way too hot to ride on my scooter to the store until then.

Thank you everyone :hug:

It was basically 90 over here :O It's summer already when it's not even summer yet xD

We're supposed to have isolated t-storms tomorrow.. Just as long as it's just t-storms.. I'm ok /o.o\

what are t-storms? Thunder storms? As for the more recent weather in my area, it seems like it's constantly windy now, and a little chilly.

So you like colder weather Nate?

Postby **airichan623** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:57 pm

I'm a midwesterner, so I'm used to tornado warnings, and things have been surprising calm so far this year... though wwaaaaay to cold for summer. It's been like 50 all week/

but today it was 90 so that was better.

Oh, lovely. I was hoping I'd get to cower in fear and be paranoid and stressed out tomorrow!

IT'S TOO HOT for weather from Canada (40 C so that's about (40 + 12)*2 = 104) it's 104 today, we haven't had that for years...

TOO... HO....T.... (faints)

Postby **Tsukuyomi** » Tue May 31, 2011 9:16 pm

Yup,t-storms=thunderstorms ^^

Its still 80 degrees O_O It always makes me iffy when it's this hot at this time of night ^__^;;

Postby **Sheenar** » Tue May 31, 2011 9:19 pm

It's 11:21 pm here in Houston and 79 degrees. Too hot. It got up to the mid-90s today.

It won't cool down again until October, they say. o.o

Postby **Ally-Ann** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 6:37 am

It's still morning here and already the temperature is 89 degrees. It's gonna be hot today! \(^^)/

And I've noticed something weird.... When my feet are cold in my house, even if the temperature is 70 degrees, they go from their usual pinkish color to grayish-blue. 0_0 See? I AM part snake! I NEED the heat!

I've also lived in the southern states for most of my life (Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, Alabama, and Oklahoma) and I have to agree with Nate. Heat and humidity suuuuuuuuuuuck. Autumn is where its at, temps in the 70s and low humidity.

The southern states I've lived in are Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia (The military base in Georgia is basically a swamp.). So, yeah. Lots of humidity. There are days, though, where the humidity levels are low and I can just enjoy the heat. However, I'm starting to get used to the humidity. That still doesn't mean that I like it. I'm just getting used to it. I loved the weather in California when I went to L.A. for a week. It was May, so one day it would be about 65 degrees, the next day it would be 98 degrees. Confusing changes in temperature, but it wasn't humid, so I loved it.

It's been lovely the last few days. It was thunderstorming like crazy last week, especially Thursday afternoon. On Thursday, we had some dime-sized hail....which made my study time for finals interesting.

Postby **Warrior4Christ** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 9:42 pm

The worst I experienced lately was on-and-off thunderstorms and heavy rain on Tuesday 31st May night, heading west of Amarillo, Texas and on to the New Mexico border.. and very strong winds (sand storm) in New Mexico on the Wednesday.

Postby **Ally-Ann** » Tue Jun 07, 2011 4:57 am

The weather is still nice here, but it's starting to get boring... I need thunderstorms! And a couple tornado watches couldn't hurt... Again, ignore my crazy rambling.

Postby **Atria35** » Tue Jun 07, 2011 5:07 am

While the severe storms everynight have for the most part passed, today it's supposed to be over 100 degrees and humid.

I'm staying inside and drinking plenty of water!
