I would honestly like to find a single instance of a 100/25F day that was ever recorded anywhere on the planet. Closest thing I could find is on page 8 of this thread.  Surprised to see that much stupidity come from those kinds of sources. If I recall correctly off the top of my head, most places in the Sahara have average lows in the 80s during peak heat season: far more typical than anything close to a 100/25 diurnal range. |

When 25C is "too hot" and 15C "too cold".
Gee, like relax...

Oh my, this is so bad I'm almost in tears. And the NASA source...  Anyway, I came here to post my own insanity of the day. It isn't exactly weather-related, but as daylight change is a much talked about subject on here, I think it's relevant to this thread. Here it is, printed on a famous Italian newspaper, the jarring notion that the first dawn of the year in Stockholm takes place in April. I mean, I can easily forgive someone for having a cloudy understanding of the concept of polar night, or not mastering the geography of Europe, but suggesting that the laws of physics allow a place comfortably south of the Arctic circle to somehow experience polar night for 8 months straight on a prominent newspaper, is unacceptable. I can anticipate a tsunami of comments along the lines of "Roz you're full of shit" or "you're fooling us, that can't be". This is all understandable. As a matter of fact, I would be the first to challenge such outlandish claims. Now here's the proof that I'm not a liar. Unfortunately in a foreign language, but that's what Google translate is for, right? And here's the name of the culprit. Needless to say, she should be shamed, humiliated, or worse: Actually, she has her own Wikipedia page. I want my own Wiki page now for writing that the Earth is flat and that money grows on trees. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesca_BorriThat's it: from now on, my primary news source will be Facebook. More sensible news producers there. |

^Yeah, goes to show just how "trustworthy" NASA is on climate They don't know a fucking thing, and should just stick to space stuff FFS. |

One thing I get fucked off with is people who try to doubt others' experiences of certain weather just because their own experience is different. Learning the difference between "subjective" and "objective" is often a good start. I mean, experiences are experiences. The truth of something that happened. When I describe experiences I've had and people tell me "uh that's not in touch with reality", like, fuck off. Or people saying I've never really experienced proper snowy weather. Uh, yeah, I experienced the coldest December on record in the highest fucking town in England, and multiple blizzards, including one with 15ft snow drifts, derp. Not all of England is like the SE where clearly not much snow ever happens, y'know.

Yeah, but he was such an idiot as to be more or less inoffensive, despite his ignorance. He couldn't be outdone by anybody in England, under his impression that Northern Ireland is the snowiest/coldest place in the UK. When I went out to take photos up in the hills outside Buxton, during March 2013, in 40mph winds, -3°C temps and foot-thick snowdrifts, he got so jealous, he went up to his "hill", to try and beat me with his own photos. But then, Buxton had even more snow, with 6ft snow drifts just in my back garden alone!
Mind you, there are a few plonkers on this site who should know better, too. Somebody in the shoutbox, wanking on about me not experiencing real winter weather the other day - living with somewhere that gets milder winters no less. Wonder if they ever saw a monthly avg. max of 0°C like I had in December 2010. March 2018 - Beast From The East - walking to work in a maximum temperature of -6C, with 40-50mph gusts, blowing snow, quite exciting actually. But no, never experienced that. Must have been in my imagination - because a few ignorant plonkers on a website said so.

Somebody in the shoutbox, wanking on about me not experiencing real winter weather the other day - who lives in Australia no less. Wonder if they ever saw a monthly avg. max of 0°C like I had in December 2010.

Must have been in my imagination - because a few ignorant plonkers on a website said so. Excuse me? Please explain this allegation of yours—because "the other day" I didn't even interact with you! In fact, I have never had this sort of argument with you. Unless you're talking about another Aussie… Oh, and another thing: I actually praise England's capability for wintry weather, as is well-known by now. Just ask Ariete. |

Not you, someone else who was in there but I only saw part of the conversation, so I may have misread it. I know you're aware of the winter capabilities of the higher parts of the UK, but there are some who should know better. |

Because as far as I know, I'm the only Aussie on here who actually cares about winter (jointly with Caspase, but he's inactive). The other Aussies don't givafuq about winters. |

There are some people on here who are regulars in the shoutbox who have said such things, might have become confused between them when I saw only parts of the convo briefly. Had I seen the earlier part of the conversation would have had a better context. |

I think that might very likely be GayJ1013—he makes quite a habit out of shitting on UK climates for "not having REAL winters", despite only having lived in non-winter climates himself (oh, and his dream climate has the same avg midwinter maxima as Buxton!). Reeks of jealousy. |

Reeks of jealousy. There's a few other people including in NE states who's done this, granted they can get more snow than I do, but it's not like I haven't seen severe winter weather and had to walk/drive about in it - I can testify from the latter how dangerous it is, seeing people who'd actually slid off the roads and were stick in a ditch.
Then you get people who laugh at all the UK for not handling 2cm of snow - but that's not a UK wide thing, that's really a SE/Midlands thing. In Buxton area and the surrounds and probably much else of northern England, people are far more equipped to deal with severe winter weather, we had very little disruption in say December 2010 despite literal feet of snow. No cancelled trains to work - what a shame.

The way netweather.tv website ignores any decent weather we're having and always has a headline on their site saying something like "cold with wintry showers" or "feeling chilly despite sun" or "feeling like spring but not for long". Does my head in. It's 14°C today and of course they didn't acknowledge that and are already foaming about "wintry showers". Not hard to tell that the Administrator himself is a hardcore polar weather wanker/coldie (which he actually is, based on everything he posts anyway).

You see this when they start a winter thread in October, yet spring and summer threads are frowned upon until 1st March and 1st June respectively. Ignoring mild or warm forecasts less than a week away, but posting cold charts deep into FI like it's a dead certainty. |

I stopped posting there ages ago, hated the site and the wankers who post on there. The whole site is set up for cold foamers, I once started a summer thread in March/April in retaliation to the early winter threads and it got shut down. It’s also full of morons who complain about sleepless nights, sultry summers etc and a lot of these people live in parts of the UK that aren’t even lucky enough to get the minimal heat we get in the SE! It’s crazy, I pray for them that we get a 6c above average summer and they all have sleepless nights and complain all day long |

Watched The Business of Drugs on Netflix, and the host said it's "100 degrees with 100% humidity" in Kenya.  |

Wow, quickly-changing weather is something so unique to England. Nowhere else in the world sees that. You know what they say....if you don't like the weather, just wait 15 minutes!! A VERY VERY unique saying to only my area. Nobody else says that.
