Hmm...I feel almost guilty for bringing this up again, but it isn't that old. Yay, fifth! This is the first time I've had an odd position on the top ten list. And happy late birthday, Arancaytar.

FIFTY! It's currently 33 here, but I'm quite sure it hasn't gone far above 40 this week yet (I haven't checked the thermometer regularly though). So I guess I'm glad I'm here and not in London. o_O -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Above ground in London it was *only* about 34, but the tube is always much hotter than the outside temperature in summer, and usually colder in winter. People were standing at the tube station entrances saying "Don't do it, don't go down there." -------------------- I think this is really wonderful.

Yay, we've been getting between 5-10C whatever that is in Fahrenheit. Its so warm. Infact, schools been cancelled occasionally because no-one can drive because the roads are just ice. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

One could imitate the birds and move around so it's always summer (or winter, depending on preference.

quote:Yup. World Health Organisation statistics show that you're more likely to suffer health problems due to hypothermia in the UK than in Siberia (where the average winter temperature is -25 degrees Celsius). The main reason is that nobody in Siberia is ever surprised to find that it's cold outside; the average Siberian wears 4.26 layers of clothing in winter, plus hats and gloves to cover all exposed skin.

As a transplanted North American, I'm amazed at how poorly prepared other countries seem to be for climatic extremes. In Europe air conditioning seems to be less widely accepted than homeopathy. People open windows, but this only helps so much, and windows don't have screens, so your house fills up with bugs. On the other hand central heating seems to be a novel concept in some places, especially Britain. So in the chilly wet weather that passes for winter, people wear sweaters indoors, and huddle around heaters, and feel cold as nobody does in Canadian blizzards. -------------------- We're not doing cool.

You're also using the official temperature taken above ground where there can be variations away from the measuring station that is located in a Stevenson box. It's possible to get a large range depending upon ground type, shade, altitude, etc. Mt. Lemmon near Tucson, Arizona still has ice on the roads in late April. There are places that stay out of direct sunlight year round and don't melt even though the measured temperature is well above freezing. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |
