weather!!!!!

Hi! Thanks Dutch! Please tell us more about your Fall......Are your leaves still beautifully colored? Is it still relatively warm - or quite cool? It sounds like perfect Fall weather there!
How much snow do you get in the Winter?

 

Up till now it, s a very soft Autumm less rain as normal the trees have still beautifull coloured leaves the nights are cold
for this time of year night temperture arround zero now and then night frost at day time arround 10 degrees

 

What a beautiful phrase, Dutch - 'a very soft Autumn'! How long do you think it will last before it snows??

 

You have no monsoon season ? I thought every region did. And all you have said are new to me. We have summer rains. Other than the monsoon season we don't have rains here. No snow falls. We are a tropical country, you see. In summer we get slight rains once or twice & exceptionally for few days. All other seasons, it doesn't rain. May be an odd rain here and there. Our monsoon season was declared to have started yesterday. We had night rains. But we are still waiting for the downpour. Then we will all be happy & our agriculture, drinking water, water storage etc. everything depends on monsoon.

 

Ah @12ss12 I think this is an English word thing - different meanings in different parts of world. To us in South Africa, we don't use the term monsoon here. Only for the east, I think, do we use the term monsoon.

Our country has different rainfall patterns. Winter rain in the west, summer rain in the east and north regions. Northern regions have lots of summer thunderstorms, my region (west) hardly has any thunderstorms.

We are bordered by 2 different oceans too - Atlantic to the west, Indian to the east.

We are also waiting for rain! Waiting and waiting.

 

Farmlily last view years hardly any snow butthe years before that somewhere between 4 till 6 inches occassionly 15 till 20 inches
but thats some years back as soon as it snows i let you know

 

AniE, As I said earlier monsoon gives us rains & ground water level raises due to it. We have to be dependent on it & the lakes, ponds and other water bodies for water. Our rivers are non-perennial. During monsoons we have few cyclones every year and that ensures our water for that year. What we are having now is North-East Monsoon. It gives rains to east coast states of India and Bangladesh. Our neighbouring states get south-west monsoon.

dutchboy, we don't have snows here. I have never seen them. You get snows only in northern Indian states at the foot hills/ on the hill Himalayan States.

Here is the official website for hurricane matthew relief by the Govt. Just a preliminary help. May be you know it already, still in case......

For Haiti & for US -edit: link removed-

 

I've been to India, to the snowy Himalayas. Felt ill! Altitude too high. Was a long time ago.
Also rained when I was in Delhi

Still no rain here And it's so hot and summer has hardly begun!

 

12 as useally i send my gift in the week after any disaster as quikly as possible to the aid agencies and hope they use it to the max
Here in Netherlands we dont know this kind of natural disasters not thank fully
But to see this kind of natural powers and what they distroy ,the taking of all these lives is always painfull and breakes my heart
time after time

 

Even though in October there had been a few rainy days now in November we have warm weather(more than 20 °C) and sunny days. So there have been great days for swimming!
I hope everyone is safe from bad weather descructions

 

Supermoon tonight, and into the morning, and also Monday night!! (US time - Nov. 14, 2016.)

It will be the biggest and brightest full moon in 68 years, and the next one won't be until 2034! October and December are also 'Supermoons', but November's will be the biggest/best.

It is called a 'Supermoon' when the full moon and perigee(its closest to earth) occur at the same time - so it can appear 14% larger and 30% brighter than when at apogee, its farthest point from earth.

Happy moon watching!!
​

 

It's not fully the supermoon *yet* but it's nighttime here and wow, the moon is big and bright!

Our drought here continues but up north in the country there was an insane flash flood last week - 100 cars washed away.

 

I was just wondering y this was removed ??? just wondering, maybe 12ss12 you can put it in the greener pastures I was interested in seeing it

 

same here haven't seen the supermoon either

 

Glad David is safe and that the causalities are minimum. How is elemeef and other NZ friends ? Has anyone any idea. Something in my mind says they are safe too.

Hi MARLYMAR, Meesleepbeest,

My bookmarks got deleted accidentally. So I have to search for them once again. They are the official / Government websites announced by USA and Haiti Government. There is also an mobile application which helps you to contact or make application with regard to Hurricane Matthew. If you want I can send them to you as you wish. Shall I ?

***************
Cyclone brewing near our coast and it is likely to cross the coast tomorrow, early morning -Dec 2- with slight damages. So I feel we would be safe. The picture below was nice, so I thought to share it with you. My journey tomorrow commences after the crossing. I am excited about the journey.

Here is a look at the satellite animation of the Cyclone Nada cloud build-up from 8 am to 1 pm on November 30 in just 5 seconds.

 

It's December 16th here in the USA......and in Massachusetts it is our c-o-l-d-e-s-t day so far! And I mean really cold!! We had Warnings and a few closings due to some single digit(F) temps. for today...and tonight's lows are way below freezing...10-16 degrees F.
More warnings starting @ 1:00a.m. for some snow until 3:00p.m. tomorrow.
Whew! Glad to be indoors tonight!!

Spoiler: What to do when it's freezing cold outside...

Look what I found, illy!!...for you!

​

 

Gosh, I don't think I'd be able to handle that cold! Here it never goes below 0 Celsius. 0 Celsius =32 F I think.
It is hot and windy here. The drought continues City has turned off the beach showers to save water, and it's peak holiday and summer season so lots of people on the beach.

 

Guess what I saw today!
*drum roll*
Snow
Very little and only in the mountains so I didn't touch it only saw it from my window but it's something! It gives me hope that maybe more will follow!

 

Woo Hoo Arielh!! Snow!!!

It's been snowing here all day, off & on! We're expecting 3-7 inches, which will slowly melt off. Snow flurries off and on for the next 3 days or so, with part sunshine in between. Not too bad. A lot of it will melt off. Temperatures at night down into the low 20'sF, then warming up in the 30'sF during the day. They are still planning fireworks for the new year.

Lily send some snow here

Do you know how to fire them by yourself?
