difference in one day
-
What a difference 24 hours makes. Yesterday the temperature was 24C [75F] which is quite cool for this time of year. People were walking around with winter jackets and wool hats. Having lived most of my life in the temperate zone I thought it was quite comfortable. Today, on the other hand, it is a seasonable 35C [95F] which is normal and a reminder that the hot season is just starting. A month from now it will stay above 35 overnight and day time temperatures will be in the 40s. Although it seems hot today we will look back on this as a cool day when the real hot season is upon us.

:D Where I live, nobody would put on a winter jacket at a temperature above 10C. A week ago we had -5C during daylight and -10C at night. Today it's about 6C[^], that's quite warm for this time of year (end of winter). _________________________________ Please inform me about my English mistakes, as I'm still trying to learn your language!

Hmmm ... isn't that an addiction sign when you start going on the Internet to see how the weather is like instead of going outside ? ;P ~RaGE();
Nope, that's the careful way.

I have to wonder if Jimmy means the same thing by winter jacket as those of us who live somewhere that has winter do. I'd think anything warm enough to use for an extended period at freezing would result in heatstroke in that sort of weather.

Dan said; "I have to wonder if Jimmy means the same thing by winter jacket as those of us who live somewhere that has winter do." These run the whole range from coats to fiber filled ski jackets. If they bought the coat here it is a “look alike” and isn’t rated for sub zero temperatures. Some folks have relatives that have moved to Norway and Sweden and they do have proper winter apparel. I don’t know how they can wear these coats and jackets in this heat but then again I cannot work during the day when the temperature gets above 40 degrees and they can. I did have to wear a sweat shirt (heavy material) which I bought second hand in a market down at the seaside for the first time last winter. I cannot get shirts my size up country. This was the first year that I needed even that amount of clothing in winter. I guess after 4 years I am starting to become acclimated. I'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopes

Words fail me. If longterm forcasting ever gets to be something other than a joke, I'm going to have to take a vacation there when the temps are supposed to pluge into the 40(F)'s just for the reactions that wearing shorts and a tshirt without looking even slightly inconvenieced will trigger. :-P~~

Here it's been even more of a difference today. Yesterday it was 38C, today it's 21C :wtf:

it's 7 degrees C here in Newcastle (England) [According! to! Yahoo! Weather!] 24 would be considered a pretty hot day for us here! -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!
What amazes me is that it is 7 degrees in Newcastle since you are approximately on the same latitude as Cape Harrison, Labrador which is probably around -20 on a warm day this time of year. I'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopes

The coldest I have seen it here is around 11 degrees [51.8 F] last winter [we only have 3 seasons and winter is over] and that even felt cold to me. Up in the mountains you would get lower temperatures. They even get a dusting of snow [but no real accumulations]in the highlands of Myanmar so possibly in Thailand also. If it ever got cold enough to snow here I think there would probably be hypothermia related fatalities. I'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopes

Today - Wendsday - the temp ia about 80F. However - being Texas - its not gonna stay that way. We have an artic cold front due in late Thursday night thats gonna drop us into the 20's and 30's for the weekend - with rain/sleet/snow possible. Thats about a 40 - 50 degree change in 24 hours. Then again on Monday we start a warming trend that is supposed to have us back in the 70's before the middle of next week. Oh well..... Richard Suppose you were an idiot... And suppose you were a member of Congress... But I repeat myself. --Mark Twain

Probably he was talking about the fact that Melbourne has four seasons in a day :laugh: Edbert Sydney, Australia "A day without sunshine is like, you know, night."

Yup, that's because the gulf stream keeps the UK nice and warm. If global warming kicks in badly, then the ice caps will melt, stop the gulf stream from doing it's thing, and put us into pretty much the same climate as Canada. -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

I have heard the same thing about the Gulf Stream from a lot of people [conventional wisdom] but I have difficulty reconciling that it is just the Gulf Stream and not the Jet Stream. If it is the Gulf Stream that is keeping you warm then why doesn’t the Japan Current [a cold ocean current] keep Vancouver BC cold? I have never been to BC but I am told that it is warmer than central and eastern Canada. The Northeast US similarly [US states of Washington and Oregon] should also be cold if the Japan Current was the only deciding factor. In fact they both enjoy relatively warm, albeit damp conditions, similar to the UK. I lived on the East Coast of the US for a long time and the Gulf Stream was so close that eddies used to reach the shore line but we had very cold winters. In fact if you dive in the bays protected by barrier islands, in the summer, it is not unusual to see tropical fish at 42 degrees North latitude. They get into the bays when a Gulf Stream eddy would reach the inlets but then would die over the winter because the water temperature was too cold for them to survive. I think the relatively warm weather in the UK and North American West Coast has a lot to do with the Jet Stream flowing from west to east. The ocean waters in winter are relatively warmer than the land and this warm air is being transported from ocean to land because the Jet Stream causes the weather patterns to go in that general direction also. I haven’t had the time to study this much but if this holds true there should be a similar effect in the Southern Hemisphere. Perhaps some folks from “Down Under” can supply some data. In the winter is it relatively warmer in Perth or Fremantle [West Coast] than in Newcastle or Sydney [East Coast]. I picked these cities because they are at approximately the same general latitude, and also near the polar ridge (where the polar and subtropical jet streams collide) to simulate approximate conditions in North America. Due to the Great Australian Bight this may not be as pronounced as in North America. Perhaps Geraldton [West Coast]/Brisbane [East Coast] might be a better comparison,although not as close to the polar ridge? If anyone with knowledge of the relative winter temperatures in these cities would care to comment it would be appreciated. Also relative humidity as the Pacific Northwest is very much damper – actually having rainforests - than the Atlantic Northeast in North America. I'm on-line
