Meanwhile down here in the south, they are calling for a rain/snow mix one day next week … so naturally the grocery store is out of bread and milk
I returned to London for a visit in July of 1986, when Europe was having a heat wave. It had been 80° F/26.7° C in Britain for over two weeks, and people were suffering. There was a lovely article in the Guardian about a group of people arrested in the Midlands for playing volleyball in the nude at 2 a.m. The magistrate dismissed all charges, on the grounds that the heat had obviously addled their brains.
There will always be an England.
And meanwhile, I just rembered that I posted on another thread of being in Washington, D.C., when it was the same temperature and the locals were wearing sweaters F/jumpers C while we tourists were wearing as little as possible and perspiring.
LOL.
Around here, 80 is the overnight low for a few months of the year. This time of year, it’s not uncommon but well above average.
@PaulL, yup. And when I first moved to Oaxaca, where it’s about 80 degrees F most of the time, I saw a toddler in a winter jacket. I asked someone why, and they said, “Because it’s December.”
@RobC, groan . . . it took me a while to get it!
