What's your weather like.? MK3.. - Part 1

Yes, also if you go on google map you can tickle the function "weather"...
Yes, that's true...

 

You are having a great weather up in the british isles, as I see.
And plenty of sunshine...
Nice time to have a stroll at the park (and feed the squirrels with peanuts...).
I wish I were up in your country.
Here, the weather is great the same but the parks are not as lovely as yours (and the squirrels are just in a two parks: one near Turin, the other in "Legnano").

 

Yes Maksim, it's good to have some decent weather here for a change. I'd like to feed the squirrels but this island I live on does not have any unfortunately.

 

Yesterday was our warmest day this year so far; the temperature hit 24.6 degrees, at midnight las night it was still 16 and even now at 5.20am its 7 degrees, much warmer than all the other mornings during this warm spell..

 

Britain (at least, that's what London is to me) when is sunny is simply FANTASTIC !
That's my everlasting remembrance of London in sunny days.
It's not the same thing in other cities.
Milan - for example - in some summer hot sunny days is disgusting.
I mean: you wander through the city without a goal and the only thing you search is: PLEASE WATER ! PLEASE SHADOW ! (like someone in the desert, or in the death valley, in the middle of nowhere with Voltures flying over him...)

 

Same again today ~ initially, slightly cooler though at 21 degrees but a brisk breeze picked up towards dusk with some scattered high cloud. A sign of change I think, another nice day forecast tomorrow but then its downhill from Saturday...

 

A chilly and dull day today. Looks like we're being promised snow for Easter!

 

OMG Just looked at the 5 day forecast for BATTLE, E SUSSEX. 1c next Tuesday night !! ??? Don't know about the seedlings but I'm thinking of going back into the burrow and having 400 winks...............

 

It just keeps getting hotter..! Although looks like a cooler weekend...good for getting the potato bed finished!

 

It's been a mixed day here today; sunny and very warm this morning and then by 11ish it had clouded over and the temperature dropped and it became quite chilly and breezy. Then by early afternoon the sun broke through again and the temperature rose quickly; as the breeze dropped it became very warm again..

 

In Milan Malpensa Airport, +20 C at Midnight !
Yes, you understand properly: +20 C (+68 F).
The high temperature was +26 C.
Yesterday, at Milan Linate Airport, +27 C.
Think that in early february the temperature over here drop to minus 18.
Now, a bit later than a month, we are well over +20.
An excursion as large as 44 degrees centigrade (from minus 18 to +26) within a period as short as 50 days (from early february to the current end of march).
The only thing that keep on staying the same is the lack of significant rainfalls.
The sky is always deep blue and the air is extremely dry.
I wonder if this is northern Italy or a central-asian step. ???

 

Well, its been scorchio here in North East England over the last couple of weeks. If this is the result of global warming, then bring it on.

We've had a couple of mornings when the thermometer in the car has registered sub zero before work. One morning it said -6'C which for round here is unusually cold (we don't get the hottest summers, but being on the coast we don't usually get too cold either). On that morning, it didn't really feel that cold though, and there was no ice on the car. Probably because the air is abnormally dry.

Still, the rain is coming. Mark my words. By May we'll all be asking, when is it going to stop raining.

 

What's going on with the climate ???
Looks like is getting mad.
I record that over the last 15 years changes are not only occuring.
They are occurring QUICKLY and within short time-periods.
Sometimes we experience some extremely cold temperature comparable to those in Scandinavia or Russia and - say two weeks later - we are as in deep spring with temperature well over +15 C.
Now we are experiencing a Spring that feels like an early summer.
I wonder what's going on.
Sure enough, climate's changes have always occurred.
But in the past, they occurred over periods as large as centuries or more.
Now, all occur in short times.
Is that due to human activities ?
Think that our human population has arose from 6,000,000,000 in the '70 to 7,000,000,000 in the current times. That's 1,000,000,000 of people in addition within 30 / 40 years.
Probably that has some consequences.
Still: think that some people as the Chinese (they are as many as 1,300,000,000) or the Indians (they are as many as 1,000,000,000) are beginning to consume goods as we in Europe and USA do. Probably one single planet for all of us (the entire human population) will not be enough to satisfy all ours needs.

 

That's more than a suspect...

 

Did you know that around the 3rd century, some 1500 years before the industrial revolution, Britain received an influx of refugees from north west europe after sudden sea level rise meant that much of their farmland was submerged so that had no choice but to get in their boats and look for somewhere else, and those people had a very strong influence on what is now the English language.

In the bible, there are lots of references to droughts and floods and all sorts of extreme weather events, all before the industrial revolution, so as much as it would be great to say that we have some sort of control over our environment, I'm guessing we don't really. We must try harder
