First 90 Degree Day Of The Year
« on: March 31, 2011, 06:13:23 PM »
Temperature got to 93 F (34C.) at 1600 today, it was 54F. (12C.) at 0515 when I left for work .

Quite a wide temperature range today with the low humidity that's present, 9% .

Needed the leather jacket on the way in and the mesh jacket for the ride home !

Forecast for tomorrow is 99-100 F. (38C.) .

Winters over, it's almost pool time !!!

We have a Sunday forecast that may hit 90 degrees here in North Texas. Doubt we'll see the century mark for another few months.

Riding time, for sure. Planning a westerly run on Monday with pretty wife on the Triumph Trophy.

How can anyone survive in that kind of temperatures?

Here in Denmark the highest recorded temp was 35C ~ 95F and we consider 25C ~ 77F a nice warm day - maybe a bit on the warm side and too many days of that kind make us long for cooler times when it was possibly to wear clothes :-)

greetings from a wet and foggy day (8C ~ 48F)

I agree trolle. 25C ~ 77F is more than warm enough me.

8C ~ 48F is a bit cool though.

We are expecting 19C ~ 66F today so I've booked a 1/2 days leave and will be taking the long route home.

It got up to about 85 F here in Northern California last week.  Alas, the temps are down already and it got up to about 65 F today.  Windy with clouds coming in bringing rain tonight and wintery weather tomorrow.  

It will clear up faster now, though, than it did last month.  It's April, and we will have every kind of weather this month.    :D

I wasn't sure the lilacs were going to survive the heavy rains and wind at the end of March.  But they are blooming beautifully and are so fragrant.  Ahhh.

Hi

Now it is beginning to look like spring: The weathermen have promised temps up to 70F ~ 21 C this week due to a nice high pressure centered on Denmark.

We're having our Easter holiday and spend our time on the veranda in the sun. That is when we're not riding.

Saturday we had our annual spring parade and this is the sight from my parlour window:



greetings from a sunny north
