72 F and sunny, light breeze from the NNE....
Edited on Mon Jun-19-06 06:35 PM by mike_c
Humidity 50%. A few passing clouds. Low 51F tonight. Winds at 15 to 25 mph, diminishing to 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow: high of 67 F, mostly sunny, clouds and sun mixed in the morning, then generally sunny for the afternoon. Winds NNW at 15 to 25 mph.

Just a boastful reminder that the political climate in Northern California isn't the only reason I love living here. I'm in Humboldt County, just a few miles from the coast.

What's the weather like in America today?

1. Still 84 degrees, at 6:30 pm Central Time
It was hot and muggy today, typical of the central part of the country. And when you climbed up the mountain, it got ten degrees cooler. Love the Arkansas Ozarks!

3. I used to live in the appalachians...
...and I remember driving through that 10 degree thermocline on hot summer days in the valley. It was a blessed relief!

2. 80 Degrees, 3 kt wind from NNW mostly sunny, 30% chance of Thunderstorms.
Beautiful day here in Chicagoland.

Where we wish we had some of the herbs you grow there in Humbolt!

4. Hot and sticky in Philly. Just the way I like it.
I lived in NoCal for a while in Chico. It could be 100F one day, and the next, you could drive up to Paradise (Paradise is a town. For real!) and go skiing.

Interesting collection of right- and left-wingers clustered around a big state university. Incredible arts and music scenes. And, a few years later, history's biggest mass frat riot.

--p!

14. Here on the Bay we had two days last year with temps over 88F
And it never freezes. I believe our low was around 45F.

Come on out!

26. My family managed to live in SF for two years...
Edited on Mon Jun-19-06 07:17 PM by Yollam
...but then we finally realized that we would never afford a house there or make any financial headway. it was a wonderful place to be, intoxicatingly beautiful, but WAY, WAY too expensive.

Now we're back in Japan. The weather is nice like San Francisco for about 2 months in the spring and one month in the fall, and the countryside can be pretty, but there's really no comparison. At least there aren't hardly any fundie or freeper types here, and it's not overrun with mentally ill homeless people and panhandlers.

5. Waiting for a severe thunderstorm with hail and 60 mph winds. lol
Long Island, NY here. The new tropics. Oughta try it sometime. Florida used to be like this 25 years ago. Rain, storm for a short time each day, then beautiful again. That's what it's been like pretty consistently here. Real freaky. The bugs are bigger in size and number too. Ick. Oh, and FYI...

a thought just occurred to me, my Dad fishes and saw some kind of a swordfish that was NEVER seen up here (this north) before. Just thought I'd share that. It just seemed related.

Hope you are enjoying the nice weather, it sounds just like my kind of weather, too. not too hot and perfect for lifting up spirits. Good sleeping weather.

8. It is absolutely perfect in Tiburon, 69F and 51%, wind calm
just a slight haze over the Bay.

Like looking at San Francisco thru gauze.

With the slight haze, the sunset will create golden air in the hills.

I am sitting here with Angel Island being my view to the left, the Golden Gate to the right, and one of the coolest cities on Earh 6 1/2 mile across the Bay.

16. you'll appreciate this description-- I was at the Sinkyone Wilderness...
...State Park on the lost coast last week and-- I don't know if you get up that way-- but there is an immense old euclyptus grove on the trail to the beach. In the evening when I sat on the bluffs to watch the sun go down, I was transfixed by the golden light in the huge old gum tree boughs. You know how they have that red-gold-green color anyway? And the golden air just lit them up against the Douglas fir and Monterrey pines on the steep slopes above the beach. The wind tossed them and they shimmered like a Maxfield Parrish painting come to life.

Sometimes I feel utterly blessed to live here.

20. I keep meaning to get up that way.
I rarely leave the immediate area.

But I do know what you mean by feeling blessed.

I walk out on my veranda overlooking the Bay and remind myself to never take it for granted.
Every day.

12. About the same here.
Not too far north of you. We're spending the summer in our cottage in the Willamette valley.

For the last several weeks we've had nothing but dark clouds that look like they'll burst any second, but with very little actual rain. The sun's finally starting to peek out, very late this year.

13. Low humidity, nice breeze, all sunshine, 57 tonight - Michigan.
Not always like this weather wise, but we get some beauties, especially in my favorite month - June. Long, long days on the far west of EDT, and the Lakes. Oh yes, the Lakes, and beauty of northern Michigan. Nice here this evening. Real nice.

15. Here in Central Oregon it's 71 degrees, 21% humidity & 10 mile visibility
I can see the spectacular Cascade peaks in the distance, tall, snowy and beckoning. Only thing we don't have is the ocean view, but I absolutely LOVE it here and only wish that the nation's political climate were half as temperate. Congrats on living in such a beautiful area. Been there, done that, like it a lot!

19. we were all wondering whether it would rain....
We ALWAYS wonder whether it will rain during graduation, and so far, in the ten years I've been here, it hasn't-- at least not on my college! This year was so rainy though-- it cleared up for graduation and a couple of weeks afterward, then started raining again. I presume it's finally over now.

21. It was definitely not raining or even foggy for the 8:30 graduation
My son and I even went crabbing at a couple of beaches near Trinidad that weekend. He then cooked a great crab dinner for me since it was Mom's Day.

No pun intended. Really.

I'm in the Biology dept. I was the guy wearing the black Che style military beret instead of the standard issue faculty head regalia. I think the hat pisses my chairman off, which is my mission in life. Well, one of my missions.

on edit-- LOL, I just remembered I have a Che avatar wearing that beret....

31. that sounds lovely-- I would have guessed hotter...
Edited on Mon Jun-19-06 07:54 PM by mike_c
...but maybe it's still early? I've never been to Minnesota, but I always assumed the summers were pretty hot-- mid-continental effect and all.

28. Much the same here in SW Washington State. Gorgeous.
Surrounded by lots of Douglas Fir, looking down on our meadow. The larks have built a nest in our attic despite my attempt to block the vent they find every year.

The political climate in this semi-rural is generally a mix of liberal - conservative, but most lean to indifferent.

32. ouch....
I've lived in florida, and used to have family between West Palm and Miami, so I can relate, distantly. I'm from the southeast and was once accustomed to that muggy heat, but I wilt at 80F nowadays. That's not an exaggeration. It's 90+ inland of me-- just twenty miles will add 20 degrees-- and I used to like it simply because the humidity was low. Now it's just too hot for me. I've become an utter weather weanie living on the north coast. It rarely gets colder than 40F, winter OR summer, LOL! Or hotter than 75F.
