h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Over in Lincolnshire, the majestically flat fens, the weather is bloody awful! Thick mist/fog everywhere!
Is it like this all over Britain? Whats the weather like overseas? Go on, make us jealous!

It's actually quite nice here. (Wales)
It's been not raining since yesterday, and it isn't due to start again until tomorrow morning. Almost a record!

Noggin

Its been murky over here for almost a week now, with intermittent periods of a weak, watery sun poking shamefully over the clouds.
I feel a bit cheesed off with winter. Its no fun! We don't even get good snowstorms any more. I'm going to write to my local MP about this!

It's night outside, so the first thing I see outside the window is a reflexion of myself and the garden behind. Then, if I get closer, I can see the sky, with some light grey clouds and a plane with red and green lights. The trees are also there, as usually, and the sound of the street behind the house.

I'm wondering if I'll survive cycling home on my bicycle tonight what with this 'orrible fog!

Welll...we have rooftops (I live in a flat), and the sky has a slight purple haze to it, owing to the Bristol City football ground floodlights, and other light pollution. The fog from earlier has cleared, so there is a lot of nice little suburbia houses, streetlights, and close-together roads.

Outside my bedroom window, are cramped gardens of various levels, hedges, green green grass, and my neighbours windows, which when lit, means I can spy on them...

Have you seen anything good recently fro your balcony (nudge nudge wink wink)

I'm at work. But at home, I have a river at the bottom of the garden, and a public footpath beyond that. You see allsorts going on down there. People walking dogs, dogs walking people, ducks, dogs chasing ducks, ducks chasing bread, rats eating bread, etc.

It's an absolutely gorgeous day in the Appalachian Highlands of Virginia in the US... just slightly on the chilly side, and most of the leaves have turned and fallen already.

Unforunately, right outside my window are construction vehicles and lots of mud - my building is still being worked on.

Sounds great! Are you having a house built?

Nah, I'm in a university dormitory that's livable but not totally finished being worked on yet. (ie, the inside's done, but the outside is a mess - still putting the porch and back patio together)

It was nice and sunny here in Bournemouth this morning, but when I emerged from four hours of lectures the sky had dissappeared - as had everything else, as a matter of fact. It seems the clouds have become so lazy that they're just billowing around at ground level and not staying in their proper place at all. It is also too cold.

Chronicargonaut - Now that would be telling. And illegal I believe...

It's bloomin' HOT outside my window!

Something like 40-odd deg C yesterday, and similar temperatures today.

I hate summer!

Where the heck are you? Austrailia?

Sorry. The concept of *summer* in November...

Well over here on the other side of the pond, in the northeast it hasn't rained for a week and before that nor rain for three weeks. Since I used to live by the water I know what fog is but have not actually seen any for quite some time. Is the weather over the reason for some of the great comedy that has some Britian?

It's done nothing but rain here for the past month here in Virginia.

Stupid monsoon season.

Hong Kong 3.30pm Very bright sunshine; I've had to pull the blinds down a bit so that I can see my computer. About 26degrees. Last day of teaching today - fantastic

The sun will be rising soon. It's 8am. It's actually not raining at the moment and Venus is really bright in the East.

It's warm here. (About 25 degrees C) A cool gentle breeze is blowing in through the window behind me. The breeze isn't even enough to rustle the trees, just slowly moving air. Very nice.

Only thing spoiling it is the people downstairs with a stupid blower thing are about to make a racket again. (Been going on for 3 days.)
