Weather-atlas has gotten even more . Why are stupid people allowed to write articles about a city's climate that they have no idea about? Winter is not the wettest time of the year. That will be summer.  The person who wrote this is as useful as me writing an article about the history of ice hockey. |

Heard someone today say that "the pollen in Atlanta is worst in March because in April it rains and that washes away all the pollen". Thing is, March here gets 4.7" of rain over 11 days, while April gets just 3.8" over 9 days on average, so it rains more in March, the 2nd rainiest month, of course. The reason that pollen counts are higher here in March is simple: the peak of spring leafout happens in mid-late March.

Spotted on reddit So Adelaide is a borderline coastal Washington / northern India climate? That's wild considering how different they are.  |

I think some people will "agree" that southern Vic is like England (it isn't), but the funniest thing here is Canberra being like Finland. What the fuck hahaha |

In the comments someone suggested that "Finland" would be Mount Kosciuszko and not Canberra. Not that it would be any closer.
But remember that r/MapPorn users use sites like weather2travel.com as sources...

From a book, "Regional climates of the British Isles".   Guessing Gordon Manley was a vampire then! |

Overheard at work on Friday:
"I'm excited it's going to be 75 degrees next week! Well okay, I'm not excited the planet's dying, but I am excited for it to get warmer out."
Not sure which forecast Crazy Lady was looking at, seeing as the actual highest temperature in the forecast is 66 F (19 C) and that's still almost a week out. Combine this with the obligatory climate doomerism even though the mean maximum for April here is 77 F (25 C); in other words, one 75 F day in April is nothing unusual at all. Keep in mind that this is the same co-worker who almost always wears a mask to the office, still to this day in 2024.
In fact, the last April here that DIDN'T hit 75 F (24 C) or above was in 2012, and even then, we got warmer than that in March. The last time we made it through the end of April without having hit 75 yet in the year was in 1997.

Blue sky is going to become as rare as snow soon. Bugger. Only blue sky to be seen on two days a year then! All because of climate change. Infact, the UK has become sunnier since "climate change" started.   |

Stupid isn't the word I'd use for this, "funny" is, however this was the best thread for it. The June-July 2037 heatwave prediction from NetWeather's members. The 1,000mm (3ft) of rain in one day sounds worrying.  |

England and Coastal Washington just ruined an otherwise decent analogy. England should've been Southern France. Coastal Washington, I don't know, maybe Northern California? |

The term "non-weather" is thrown around a lot on this forum in the shoutbox, and anyone who uses it is wrong. Members disagree and argue on what constitutes "non-weather", but there is simply no such thing as "non-weather". There is always weather on Earth.

This all out gem from the shoutbox today:
"Northern Italy’s climate is like the Texas of Europe".
