    Shore is hot!

    Seattle temp hit 105 degrees today; the trees are whistling for the dogs.
    Old temp record was 98, set on July 28 2009. Record before that was set on July 27.

    I'm thinking of moving to LAs Vegas for the temperate weather. (At least it's cool indoors!)

          Come now, that's not fair - you know that summer in London is a random two-week period somewhere between mid-May and mid-November. This year is was the Wimbledon fortnight, which was pretty good timing. We're now well into autumn.

            Heh, you'd think I'd be used to it, given that I grew up in Dublin where anything over 10C is a nice summer's day...

            ...and it's raining over Edgbaston now. Gah. (even if a biblical deluge is England's best chance of winning the ashes)

              Yes, I was just settling in for an evening of hope giving way to disappointment.

                Ah, Manchester is like that from what I can tell from the weather. Luckily I've run away to Sweden for a few months, where it's been pretty consistently warm even if not hot.
                takkaria whispers something about options. -more-

                  Wow, that nearly exactly the opposite of where I live. Here in San Antonio, Winter is a random two-week period somewhere between mid-November and mid-April. Actually I guess it's usually closer to one week.

                        There was a guy from my college who was from Australia and he said that even though Christmas is in the summer there, they still use snowflakes and winter-themed stuff for Christmas decorations. Is that true? That's pretty weird.

                          Yes, it is.

                            You're all just a bunch of second generation Pommies, dreaming of the homeland where you actually would get fog and 5C temperatures for Christmas.

                              One Christmas we had snow, then it melted and hit a high of 75 or 80. Then it was hot until mid february, where it got to freezing until march.

                              Very odd.
