What's the weather like where you are? (Read 2090 times)

Well here in New Zealand today is the first day of summer! Unfortunately though we have monsoons today but it's still warm though very humid. At the moment I can barely see out of the window for all the rain. Forecast for the week... Rain today (it's already Friday here) and 60F Rain on Saturday and 64F Cloudy on Sunday and 68F Rain on Monday and 71F They can't make up their mind for Tuesday but the smart money would be on ... rain. No wonder this place is so green! New Zealand's Maori name is Aoetearoa and that means 'Land of the long white cloud' - so true. Despite the low summer temps we also have Sunsmart warnings of 10 (the maximum) from between 11 & 4am every day this coming week. New Zealand is situated just above the hole in the ozone layer and burn times are faster here than other places. Sunsmart ratings tell us how bad the hole is affecting us at any particular time. Funny that some of your temps are higher than ours and we are in Summer! Claire xxx

N. Texas temps went from rainy and 77F yesterday afternoon to snow/sleet mix and 27F this afternoon. Wind is howling, geesh, if you Canadians want to visit...that's great, next time take a plane and leave the weather home! Although, it is [queue's music] beginning to look a lot like Christmas..

So do you run a lot in the rain? If so how do you keep your feet from getting blisters? I tend to be a wimp so when it rains hard I hop to the local YMCA and jump on a treadmill. This year I promised myself to run outside no matter what, well, maybe not if we have an earthquake.

Alan, that's pretty much what we were having for weather until today. I don't mind that too much, as long as it's not windy and/or rainy. k

Here in Tucson, the temps are getting down in the mid-30s at night and up to the 60s-70s during the day. That is also the forecast for the next week or so. We just got our first freeze on Thursday, though, so it's been fun to adjust to the cooler temps. Thursday was absolutely brutal--high of only about 49, which is quite chilly when you're used to temps in the low 80s.

Stifles chuckle. That is seriously like the perfect temp for running, though...you can wear long pants and a lightweight long-sleeved top and be perfectly comfy for a long run without needing much in the way of hydration as long as you won't be out more than about 90 minutes. As long as it's not windy and/or raining I live for that weather. I'd be a happy girl if our weather was always in the 45-55º range.

I agree it is the perfect temperature for running, except we had a wind that would nearly knock you over. I'm used to running in the high 40s/low 50s, even in this low humidity, but a high of 49 puts the lows in the 20s for the time when I normally run. Factor in that wind, and ouch.

In Juneau we just got thrgh a week of sub 10 degrees and now things have warmed up to the high 20s plus we got a bonus of 2 feet of snow in 48 hours. That's on top of the 44 inches of snow we got the week before that. I have been shoveling and not running so my arms are getting the workout that my legs used to. Me and my kids are going out this afternoon to make snowmen that look like us. Mine will have running clothes on. I haven't run in a week and I am going later on whether my arms are tired or not!
