"I went to so and so place for three days, and the weather was this way. That must mean it's ALWAYS this way" usually said by some tourist who doesn't understand differing weather patterns.

"I visited Porto/San Francisco/ Lisbon/whatever in July and it didn't rain, therefore it's a desert-like climate there right"? With as much as you love Portugal, you really ought to be calling it Lisboa (pronounced like "lijboa", emphasis on the second syllable, where the j is as in French and the oa is the stereotypical New York coffee vowel thing) by now.  |

I prefer to call it "Lissabon" because it's the Swedish name of the city, so in my head I always translate it to "Lissabon" whenever I read it lol  Or at least when I speak Swedish. If I was down there I'd say "Lish-boa" though of course My favourite parts of Portugal are Madeira and the Azores though, no contest! |

It's not X season because it's not X temperature (insert non-equatorial place) doesn't have X season because it doesn't have an average of X temperature. Because on Guadalupe Island, summer and fall are completely different, as well as winter and spring. That just means there's small differences between the seasons. Summer isn't defined by a temperature, it's a period with the warmest temps and longest days which every non equatorial or near equatorial climate has. Same with winter. And fall and spring are transition seasons so if there's a summer and winter, there has to be those seasons too. 2 more are the libtards who say "oh look, a heat wave. Must be caused by global warming" and the conservatards who say "oh look a cold wave, must be no global warming". |

I mentioned this exact thing in the previous page lol, people are so quick to blame everything on GW/Climate Change. Just saw some tard blame the warm pattern in the east on "climate change". What's funny is all these people who are so quick to blame everything on climate change disappear when a cold snap happens. Or they blame that on "climate change" also. One thing is to believe in it, another thing is to be an ignorant fuckwit about it. |

One recent trend I've noticed by some idiotic liberals is to try and blame EVERYTHING on climate change. "Don't believe in climate change? Look at all the hurricanes this year!" Right, we all know hurricanes are a new phenomenon and have never occurred until climate change happened. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that August/September have the warmest SSTs of the year usually. "Look at how mild it is in December. Climate Change!" and when a cold snap in March/April hits it's "climate change" also. And then if you try and argue that this isn't happening solely due to climate change, that it's natural you're a backwards hick who's a far right extremist. Even though I myself am a liberal that believes in climate change.... Oh yeah, that is an olympic sport here. Another classic running gag is how every single storm or hurricane is the "strongest in 100 years" as a result of global warming. Hang on a sec, 100 years, so there were stronger storms before global warming was invented? Greentardism is a disease. I was on the TWC (Weather Channel) website earlier today, the first headline I read is "Strongest storm on the planet set to strengthen". The storm is a Cat 1 storm with 75 mph winds. Seriously? Yellow Journalism at it's finest. They push the global warming thing pretty hard too. The liberals we're mentioning right now are exactly the types that annoy the fuck out of me. They don't use logic, they use their emotions. They're also the SJW types that try to push Third Wave Feminism, hate anything masculine, and think everything is "racist". And I'm a greenie leftist myself but I'm at least logical. |

Another thing that annoys me is when people expect warm or cool weather the second March 1 or September 1 hits. As if air masses and weather patterns care about it being September 1 as opposed to August 31, or it being March 1 as opposed to February 28th, lol. Yeah, I forgot to mention my biggest pet peeve as well, calendar morons. According to these people seasons change on the very moment of each equinox and solstice, climate data be damned. Snow in November or April, cool weather in September, frost in May, etc, are utterly confusing to them. I'll add another one: people who complain about daylight saving time. Apparently the most arduous, health-destroying experience of their lives is shifting their daily schedule by one hour. Their screeching was only outdone in the nineties when we skipped daylight saving for a few years and everybody hated the 3 AM June sunrises and 8 PM August sunsets. |

The Global Warming/Climate Change agenda is pushed massively by the met office/BBC here as well. Every time a so called "freak" event happens, such as the London Tornado or even a date-record high temperature in summer, somebody on the BBC is always, in all seriousness talking about "here we are seeing the direct consequences of climate change on our doorstep. We need to start doing something now, even if it's just changing your light bulbs in your house". I mean I would laugh at these twats if it wasn't for the fact I am rendered paralytic by this level of retardation.

Gonna revive this thread because it's necessary.
Saw a few idiotic examples this past month or so:
In early-mid June when it was hot already, idiot news anchors: "Omg, it's so hot and it's not even summer yet!"
Yeah, because hot weather on June 12th in South FL is so unusual and unprecedented. Also, anyone with a brain can tell summer-like weather becomes the norm down here in late May (humidity jumps up and thunderstorms become very common).
In light of the recent heat wave, again moron news anchors:
"This scorching heat wave is unprecedented at this time of year, summer has just begun!"
Fam, it's the end of June/July. Hot weather and heat waves is nothing unusual at this time of year. The hottest weather of the year can easily occur at this time of year.
Really wish they would stop pushing the astronomical seasons idiocy on the news. It's misleading to the public. You really have people walking around acting like June 20th is still "spring". If you think the beginning of summer is the day with strongest sun and longest days, you're a fucking idiot.

Didn't even know this thread existed, FUCKEN  As for weather stupidity, I fucken hate it when kunts use Köppen classifications to label climate types (often down to the last detail). More precisely, calling a high latitude climate at a polar 56° parallel with cool summers & snowy winters alongside dominant low pressure an "oceanic climate" or CFB—as opposed to subpolar/ CFC. For example, many would idiotically label the likes of Lerwick or Tórshavn Oceanic instead of Subpolar  |

What the cretins fail to understand is the fact that Lerwick yields 68 snowy days (sleet counted) per year, with Tórshavn yielding an even greater amount. They all seem to think that these climates are nothing but cold rain year-round, when in fact they're much snowier than the likes of mainland Britain, Germany etc—about sea-level, of course. Latitude makes the largest dfference of them all; approximately ~111 km (69 miles) per parallel°. |

July, the warmest and sunniest month on average, was forecasted to be of normal temperature and precipitation and now the sky is apparently falling. That after two months of pure, record-breaking sunshine and warmth. I swear the people living here are somehow from Egypt.

I think people have a skewed way of looking at oceanic climates - I find it odd how some people think having cold or snowy winters excludes a climate from being oceanic. That's fucking stupid. Obviously, a high latitude oceanic climate can indeed be prone to cold and snow. Longyearbyen is very clearly an oceanic climate at very high latitude. I've seen people call Tromso "humid continental" simply because the winters are cold like no, just no. In fact, I don't think oceanic should be a climate type, rather a climate influencer as oceanic is something that can exist in every climate sub-type from tropical to polar. "Oceanic" climates are really variable as well so to me it doesn't make much sense to group it all into one category. |

I agree with Turku guy's last post at weather forecast thread.http://cdweather.boards.net/thread/47/weather-forecast-thread?page=89&scrollTo=60479 Now to answer to Hiromant, yes April, May indeed were above average and that was nice but they were still less above average than it was on western longitudes. And so far July here has been cold and cloudy, with deviation of about -5.6°c. meanwhile in west... And there has been in general the same weather pattern (west Eur. with heat waves and big deviations, east not) within last 4 summers, i'd say. Yeah, pretty soon I must file a complaint to Putin himself who allegedly controls everything and ask why there are no any more heat waves or even warm spells in western Russia. It is obvious that Scottish, English or Norwegian warm spells do not reach to here. Back then in 19th century peasants of Estonia wrote to Russian tsar in St Petersburg if something was very wrong. |

Yes. Tromso may be a continental humid climate under the certain "classification" system, which shouldn't take the term as a literal sense, the "climate" describes individual characteristics of local biome like a piece of mosaic and explaining how oceanic of location could be a better way to refer by continentality index. Judging strict guideline as isotherm which can lead to many cases of misunderstood.
