Northern California is back to winter weather. It's rainy, chilly, and dark again. Some people are happy for the delay in the heat.
It got up to 26 C today in Geneva, 24 yesterday. Sunny mostly and some cloud. We will lose about 10 degrees by Tuesday with rain in the forecast. Good for my allergies, not for my mood.

It was about 12 degrees C today here. We'll be up to 30 or so soon and not look back until September but people are sick due to the roller coaster weather.

Oh yea people here too, a student just texted me he will be absent as he feels unwell, though that might be due to other reasons (weekend fun?). ;)

Uh, it’s cold.

Not really…

Yes. In August when the average high temp is 110º. Last year we had a couple 120º days and I don't even want to talk about 2020.
My first year in Central Valley of California it was 112 degrees F for 10 days straight. It wasn't quite so bad after living in Orlando, FL area where it feels like 120 degrees F every hurricane season day.

Yeah, it's a 'dry heat' as we say out here. There's absolutely no way I'd choose to live in a state with humidity like Florida. My family visited my grandmother in Sioux Falls once when I was a teen and the humidity just about killed me. I was miserable the entire time.

I don't remember it feeling so cold in California and we lived in San Jose where it's generally moderate.

I'm originally from Japan and am happier in humid climates.

Favorite quote “Yeah, but it’s a dry heat.” :D We were in a Vegas once at 110F and even though you don’t sweat, you bake… 😳

You get used to it to a certain extent, but as I get older I like it less. The fact that it's warm was one of the reasons I chose to move here 24 years ago. But, I was 30 then - what did I know?! :D

Still, I will take this heat over humidity any day.

Believe it or not I’ve gotten used to it or the humanity is not normally that bad in the Houston area, while there are definite periods of time during the hot months after rain where the humidity is very high. 😑

Definitely cold in my location now.

I can keep the door closed on my home office and it stays somewhat warm - though the 7,1 Mac Pro isn’t nearly as effective as the 5,1 as a room heater. ;)

Riding a bicycle outside is not nearly so nice. I just don’t warm up even while wearing lots of layers.

I much prefer warmer conditions.

You should buy a mid-2012 MacBook Pro quad-core i7 with GeForce 650M. Processing video, it would hit 100 degrees C regularly. Even in snowbound areas, it would heat a room effectively.

Northern California is in the mid-80s right now, but that will probably drop before we go to 100+ degrees F daily.

As with all locales in the Southeast (USA)--on occasion--we are now faced with weird weather over the next few days. Thank you Helene ;)

150-200mm+ of rainfall over the next few days.

Our North Carolina Office is forecast to receive >=~400mm of rainfall in the same time-frame.

Highs will be hovering around 22C 🤷‍♂️
 
Now it starts to be colder, just when I hoped global warming had 'blessed' us here with a very mild winter this year.
But it's getting colder. C˚

Quite the opposite, lots of slippery icy spots if it’s wet weather, which it usually is here in those degrees.

We had our snowstorm on Thursday. It was still icy on Friday but the sun and salt got the roads dry so I went running today. There are lots of folks that will run in ice and snow but not me in my old age.

I saw a discussion on Reddit about which shoes and other equipment were best for running on ice.

Still amazed at how consistent the weather can be where I live. And yes the forecast’s accurate
