Sunshine would be more common with -20C temps though. I cannot stand a lack of sun for too long. Yes, but days are so short here in November, December, January. Riga is at 56N, almost 57N. It is almost not worth it to have sunshine, because it lasts only for a couple of hours. Very fair point but I have lived at 61N (Anchorage) and I definitely appreciated clear skies even when it was dark. Was a good place for star gazing! I would say winters here are more depressing, at 49N.  |

I liked it but probably would not live there again for reasons not related to climate or daylight. It is nice there though, overall. It is depressing here because days are short enough from early November to late January; and it is very cloudy which makes it more dark than it otherwise would be. Just a bit more sun would make a big difference. |

Yesterday had the largest single-day rainfall tally on record in November here: 4.38", with the previous record being 3.99" from November 11th, 2009; there's lots of flash flooding further west in the state as well. Where do you live? Were you an exchange student in Rome or something before? Ben is in North Carolina currently, near the coast I think.

Today reached 60 (16 c) after a 15 (-9 c) low.
Thatβs the 3rd 45 f (25 c) diurnal this month, Rochester has never had one.
A weak but windy cold front will come through tomorrow bringing 50+ mph gusts and maybe some snow. By next week though, mid 60s will return.

Poor Shitney  NSW thunderstorms skip over Sydney CBD
Thomas Hough, Saturday November 14, 2020 - 12:03 EDT A low pressure trough moving across NSW yesterday triggered widespread thunderstorms across the east of the state. Just under half a million lightning strikes were recorded over eastern and central NSW yesterday, with around 46,000 of these ground strikes. Storms that sparked up over the state's central west in the late morning pushed east reaching western Sydney by early afternoon. Despite the significant thunderstorm activity in the area however, depending on where you were in the Sydney basin, you may or may not have seen or heard any thunder and lightning. If you were in the CBD you may not have even known there were storms in the areas as within 10km of the city there were no recorded lightning strikes. Within 20km of the city there were around 60 strikes, 20 of which were ground strikes, most of which occurred offshore.
To the west there were around 1300 strikes within 30km of Blackheath, and nearly 2000 strikes within 30km of Warragamba. To the southwest there were around 2500 strikes within 30km of Campbelltown. In the north there were only a few strikes about the northern beaches, with more significant storm activity offshore and further north around Gosford, Woy Woy, and Newcastle. With the trough now moving offshore high pressure will bring settled conditions across most of the state today, with clear and sunny skies to persist through the weekend.

Turning warm & humid for today with high of 80F/low of 61F. Past couple of days were nearly as warm during the day though nighttime temps were cool. Front coming tomorrow which will bring cooler temps and low humidity. Low temps may get down to around 40F next week. Don't see any low temps down to freezing anytime soon.

Today had a warm morning, reaching 52 (11 c) as a high a little after midnight before the cold front swept through.
The wind seriously disappointed though, the max gust was a lame 36 mph when the forecast called for 55-60 mph gusts.
It was also a dry front and the chance of snow never materialized. Dark clouds threatened over the mountains all day but not even flurries fell.

Yeah I know this feeling all too well |

Lightning tracker over the last hour. Direct hit, but very high based and didn't see a thing due to thick dust. Lot of rumbles and some big raindrops reaching the ground, covering everything in mud. Dust has reduced a bit now @ 3:20PM, 38.2C and windy, cloudy haze. Genuine summer day @ 46.7C so far in Oodnadatta in northern SA after 31.5C low.  Another round popped up overhead, but only heard a few rumbles with some raindrops while it was 40C. The base must be at like 15,000ft. Thick dust again obscured all view.  |

Also had some insane gusts come through at around 18.30, shredding the dead leaves off palm trees, tipping over a boat, blowing furniture and plants, sending a mad ton of twigs all over my place, insane driving dust and debris, I put safety glasses on, cos there was shit being blown at high speed. Unfortunately, my PWS is located too near trees to get a proper wind reading, and evidently this was localised here as the BOM station didn't read any major spikes in wind. Temp did go from 38.6C to 39.7C in 10 mins there, with a bit of an increase in wind speed, but not even 60km/h. It was for sure much more than 60km/h here. I suspect, if properly measured, the wind here exceeded 100km/h. There were high-based showers and T-storms in the area, it might've been a localised downdraft, possible microburst or something like that. The wind was very hot aswell.
Few mins later, it is dead calm and silent.

It hasn't even felt that unusually warm here this year because of the crap summer but we'll still only need December to be about 2C above average to get the warmest year on record. As for sunshine and rainfall, we already passed our entire average for the year for both of them with 1/5 of the year to go. |

Cold front came thru a little while ago. Wind gusts with blowing leaves. Clouds looked kind of menacing but only had a brief shower. Sky is already clearing.  |

It is already 67Β°F here as of 8:54 AM, it should reach the high 70's of F today, before a cold front arrives tonight. NWS has downgraded the forecast low for Wed. night/Thu. morning to 33Β°F, so that night could be the first freeze of the season here.
