Summer is here

[BeardofPants]

After a nasty cold snap, we're enjoying nice toasty warm sunny days again. Gotta love Auckland winter.

Because the stadium has a roof which opens and so the back half is usually a bit shaded due to the roof all being back there and where I was sitting my right side wasn't being hit by as much sun due to said roof.

Really? Mine's a drivers tan...right arm out the window all the damn time when it's hot

That's pretty impressive considering drivers sit on the left side of the car in Canada, just like they do in the US.

We were watching the storm this afternoon from the 22nd floor (where our office is) and looking to see if we saw any cyclones forming but we didn't

 

[Leslie]

Nothing happened after all, but they've issued a new worser warning for here now.

 

[Stop Laughing]

We've had the '30 minute T-storms' lately. A loud crash of thunder woke me up yesterday at 10 after 7 (couldn't have set the alarm clock better) and when I got out on my way to work, the sky was blue and the sun was out. No wonder meteorologists like working here, it's interesting and if the weather doesn't go the way they say, we expect it cause its unpredictable anyway.

 

[Nixy]

All of our storms have been short too. I hope tomorrow there's a little tornado, that'd be SO COOL to see from 22 storeys up. With my luck it'll happen when I'm walking to or from lunch though

 

[Luis G]

I want some fucking rain!!!!

 

[Leslie]

come here then

The seagulls are all coming in off the lake. This isn't boding well.

 

[Luis G]

Is just that I can't stand this damn weather, it's driving me nuts. Yesterday night it was 7ºC and I was sweating, there is something seriously wrong with humidity and atmospheric pressure.

If it was raining outside, I wouldn't mind going out and get wet.

 

[Leslie]

It didn't rain for a couple weeks here. It got really sucky. And now it won't stop lol

 

[paul_valaru]

as long as it is nice saturday night

 

[HomeLAN]

We had our sytem drench the crap out of us for two days, and now we're back to parched. To be fair, there is about a 20% chance of flash-and=splashes - prolly hit while we're all in the pool.

Highs in the mid-90's.

Ah, went for a 4+ hour walk - balmy sunny day with that kick-ass autumn/winter haze; not a cloud in the sky. I love the lighting in winter. Even better, we came home and boinked like bunnies.
