I cant remember the exact temperature, but when I was in Hanoi there was a temperature - I think it might have been 11 degrees C - where if it went under that they closed all the public schools.

Network Rail have a similar business model. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to one of the water parks in Orlando and it was about 21/22 degrees C. It was like a ghost town, I asked a member of staff why it was so quiet and they said it was because it was so cold. No locals would go outdoor swimming in that weather. Made even less sense because all the water was heated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 You cant win where the weather is concerned.Over here around about March people ( Im one of them ) start moaning about how they are sick of blue skies and sunshine every day,for like 5 months.Then they are wrapped when we get our first overcast or rainy day but then ( and I am one of them again ) after 1 week of winter we have had enough of it and want the sun back again.

fightoffyour Posted July 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2021 Oh, yeah. Bloody hell. I'm sweating out here. Roasting. Boiling. Baking. Sweltering. It's like a sauna. Furnace. You can fry an egg on my stomach. Ohh, who wouldn't lap this up? It's ridiculous. Tremendous. Fantastic. Fan-dabby-dozy-tastic. People say, "Don't you miss it?" I say, "What, England? Nah. **** place. It's a dump. Don't make me laugh. Grey, grimy, sooty. What a shit hole. What a toilet. Every word removed with a long face shuffling about, moaning, all worried. No thanks, not for me." They say, "What's it like, then, Poland?" And I'll say, "It's hot. Hot. Oh, it's **** hot. Too hot? Not for me, I love it." 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted July 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) I take it back. You do not want to be hungover in this weather. It's too hot to go outdoors or indoors. What I need is for someone to take me for a drive in a comfortable, air-conditioned car. Edited July 8, 2021 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason my view of Poland and its climate is based on the early 80s footage of the Gdansk shipyards. It always seemed wet, grey and cold.

Grey days are so rare that they usually make se say or think "ugh, it's like a nice day in Manchester here today." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Quote ‘Heat dome’ probably killed 1bn marine animals on Canada coast, experts say British Columbia scientist says heat essentially cooked mussels: ‘The shore doesn’t usually crunch when you walk’ More than 1 billion marine animals along Canada’s Pacific coast are likely to have died from last week’s record heatwave, experts warn, highlighting the vulnerability of ecosystems unaccustomed to extreme temperatures. Christopher Harley, a marine biologist at the University of British Columbia, has calculated that more than a billion marine animals may have been killed by the unusual heat. A walk along a Vancouver-area beach highlighted the magnitude of devastation brought on by the heatwave, he said. “The shore doesn’t usually crunch when you walk on it. But there were so many empty mussel shells lying everywhere that you just couldn’t avoid stepping on dead animals while walking around,” he said. Harley was struck by the smell of rotting mussels, many of which were in effect cooked by the abnormally warm water. Snails, sea stars and clams were decaying in the shallow water. “It was an overpowering, visceral experience,” he said. While the air around Vancouver hovered around the high 30s (about 100F), Harley and a student used infrared cameras to record temperatures above 50C (122F) along the rocky shore. “It was so hot when I was out with a student that we collected data for a little bit and then retreated to the shade and ate frozen grapes,” said Harley. “But of course, the mussels, sea stars and clams don’t have that option.” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jul/08/heat-dome-canada-pacific-northwest-animal-deaths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mjmooney Posted July 16, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2021 Eighty dead and hundreds missing in the north German floods now. We have a neice who's married to a German lad and they live right in the middle of it. Quote Everywhere flooded. I got trapped in the supermarket and managed to get most of the (long) way home, before reaching the street nearest my apartment where a rapid river replaced the street… I waded through with the help of a very kind passerby and made it home a little soggy but otherwise ok. Now our apartment is an island! … we are both OK. We are lucky, so many people here have lost everything. I don’t see how this can be fixed. Some shops had just reopened after lockdown, some had just redecorated and decided to start up. The windows are blown on to the street and the floors are rubble. Problem is, it’s the whole high street. Not to mention all the peoples who’s houses have been broken or badly damaged. We were lucky in our apartment, just the cellar and no utilities. I feel very sad and sorry for the rest of the town. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
