I see'd itand can't say

I see'd it but forgot!!





GT

Morning all, not me

Morning Arnold(just, in UK)

How is the Land of the Rising Sun today???




GT

Sunny and I guess hot

It has been a warm day today in Preston (18C)..

Now it is about 16 and 'clammy'.....still warm. but damp feeling....not nice at all...

At least there it is warm, but dry, no???



GT

We had really hard monsoon rain at about midnight last night , had to close all windows and doors lost the sat tv channel and it was close all day yesterday 33 c too, now the sun is shinning, not been out but guess it is warmer out there than in england

Never seen 33 in England, Arnold!!



GT

We usually get to 40 in aug not really summer yet (still the rainy season )

Britain, the only place your guaranteed a tan all year round - it's called RUST!

Had to go out and iy does feel a little fresher out there than yesterday but not down to 18 c we left that kind of temp back in early march I would think

In Lancashire, humidity is always 75 - 85 %, so when it is warm, it is damp also, all summer long.


Even in your 'wet' season, it cannot get that humid???




GT

Sorry to say this but,I do know that we got you beat hands down on humidity during the rainy season and summer,we do have nice dry days during winterjust turned the aircon on to dry this room , we do have three aircon's in this house, two in the bedrooms and one in this back room and I will put the sunlounge bed out in this room in a while and rest through the heat of day

It's hard to explain that sort of humidity, it was like that here in the 'winter' when it rained torrentially and then the sun came out. It's like being in a hothouse, (if you've ever walked round one of those big victorian ones) It is unpleasant, but it explains why you can grow rice in Japan.
I was house sitting over the New Year for a friend and had to put all the air cons onto the drying facility, plus a mobile one which I was emptying three times a day - so the clothes didn't all spoil.

Luckily that sort of weather is very unusual here, but it has been very hot recently, over 36 most days from 10am.

Oh God yes, I stayed in Kula Lumpur(sp?) for a while and it rain heavily in tropical rain fashion around 3pm daily. It was briefly cooler but after when sun came out it was walk a few yards and be soaked from high humidity again, mind you the plants in lush rainforest there (malaysia) were often 10 feet across as so much rain and warmth to help growth!
it might reach 24c today which is hotter than I thought. There is a free classical music event in church up road this luchtime so might pop along as enjoyed the last one a lot.
Being free helps as I just saw another advertised on a poster at £10 a ticket in a church!

The worst humidity I ever experienced was in Hong Kong, it equalled the record if i remember rightly. I felt as if I was breathing strangely. And everytime I went outside (out of the air-conditioning) it seemed worse.

Apart from that, happy days

You up and about yet, Arnold??

I will be off to bed soon!



GT

Yep I read about an hour ago your mrs brought you toast n you said you were going to bed after

Just had a go at the Hay/grass round the back of my house , I heard the temp was dropping to 29 c here so thought it would be a good time to get the two stroke motor thingy out and get it cleared , this ere machine doesn't have a bit of fishing line coming out the bottom it has a 12"wood cutting blade on the end with 65 teeth,

that sounds one mean machine Moonraker!
