What is your Weather? :)

Let me see now ... Saturday was 57F/13C and rainy, yesterday was 77F/25C and not bad - but the rain came back later. Today ... rain should be clearing up shortly, and we expect a high near 66F/19C. The old saying is "April showers bring May flowers"; if so we should have lots of flowers.

Yesterday's top was even higher a degree or too.
Intellicast shows 19 C now: the service might be more believable for current temps for it shows local weather stations and the user can even pick one as more reliable.Funny thing yesterday.
As the forecast the other day 'promised' it would be declining and it was 9am, noticeable it was: I peeked out my window to see a guy strolling in his underwear shirt - the funny thing it was May 1 and the underwear shirt is "mayka" in Russian, so I messaged a pal to say "this guy must be celebrating May starting"

I understand "May day" used to be a big socialist holiday; obviously it had negative connotations in these parts :left:
Weather Underground also provides access to local weather stations, but some of them are pretty unreliable. The one it picks as closest to me has been as much as 10F/5.6C higher than the local airport, I think they must have set it up in direct sunlight rather than shade. So I just use the airport.

(Still no smilies, huh?)
Not exactly socialist. It was 19th century, there weren't proper socialists yet, and the thing was about workers' rights and/or working conditions, probably both. There were casualties. It was in the US of North America. Chicago, perhaps. -

Yes, it happens. All the time, it's the matter of luck to have a near station set by a guy with a little brains.
And no, we don't have an airport. :lol:
There is a club or something, perhaps, I don't know...
The clock at our train station was not set by wise guys.

In English, "wise guy" means practical joker...
I guess not exactly in English-in English, being as it is in certain English-speaking areas. As a common jargon.
Thank you for the reference though, I've heard it in movies, now I'll know.
I meant literally - like in English-in English*:)* Like Shakespeare

In English, "wise guy" means practical joker, so are you sure?
Speaking of those wise guys though, I guess it might have been something in it: there shows a station there where the wise guys put their sensors like in the sauna - showing some enormous temps at times - like 52 degrees centigrade, like in winter*;)*

Seems like raining, overcast but not dump now.
Gusty wind rocking some tree branches...
If you listen to some nice radio, and if you had your coffee, it doesn't feel depressing*:D*

Raining again.
Nice summer rain. Even part of the sky is clear I see, the rain is all right nevertheless*:)*Forecast a thunderstorm for yesterday - it passed near even not much raindrops. I was having a walk in our nearby "wilderness" then, searching in where the bridge is being built. Ended up dry as a bone.

A few days ago I started getting an impression that weather forecast had got taken over by politicians: promises, promises, promises, then nothing.
31°C topped today. According to the graph, it's the summer's apex here.
They "promise" some rain with thunderstorm again, then decline in temps. -
