Weather WTF

[mongers]

Leaves cover the ground and roads of the forest, wind and rain showers all herald Autumn's arrival. 

We have been getting chilly autumn weather here recenty

Very excited. The Texas and Shumard Oaks will all be red in a few weeks. The birds will be headed off to South America. Love it. Even weak sauce Texas Autumn is pretty great, especially after so many months of brutal heat.

Sounds like a real pleasant change for you down there.

Yes. It's the start of the good bit of autumn. Leaves. Ginger. Bonfires (probably not this year ). Layers season. Richer food

Here Autumn is usually days of about 73f/23c with morning crisper at 50f/10c.

Until the rainy season (who knows this year), it will stay like this.  Once it rains everything gets green seemingly overnight, it cools down a bit, and it seems dark all the time - even though most days still have sun.

Compared to -40 in Laramie, it is rather nice here in Autumn/Winter.

I've decided I need a summer home up at this latitude, and winter home down in southern Chile somewhere.  Or the south of New Zealand.

One hour of sunshine so far in December. It's been grey and windy and cold.

Liep, that must be somewhat depressing.

Here is just rain and showers.

It is very depressing.

But we're up to 1.3 hours of sunshine now and I even saw those 20 minutes today even if it was behind a thin layer of clouds.

Even for Danish standards it's a very bleak December:


Sunshine (hours)

-18C today.  -26C with the chill factor.

I just discovered my house needs more insulation.  Dammit.

Just looked it up: it's been well over two weeks since we last had a sunny day in Vienna. Maybe it's these times, but it feels a lot darker than normally at this time of year. It's been grey day in day out since the start of the month, basically.

It seems there's some snow in Madrid?

Snow is not that uncommon in Madrid. Not uncommon at all in Central Iberia.

[Syt]

Still seems a bit more than usual.







Certainly significantly more than Vienna had all winter so far.

[Duque de Bragança]

Precisely, more than usual. Some snow is not unusual; these amounts are. 

-7 last night in Bragança but not snow.

Damn we need some snow here, just to rub in the Covid and Brexit disruptions.
