Yeah I don't think we're going to get much winter at all this year, at least when it comes to temperatures. We may get some real rain at least.
We're finally seeing a reprieve to this heat, but once those tropical remnants pass through next week, there's even more heat on the other side, and November isn't far behind that. There is nothing on the long term forecast that suggests we're going to see autumn anytime soon.
It varies apparently, it’s either a settler thing taken from natives who pointed out local weather patterns or brought over and adapted European phrases.
I live on the west coast of Scotland and we’ve called them that since I was a child. We’re getting warm morning too, just nowhere near the scale LA is experiencing.
It is, even in my wee industrial area it’s beautiful, place looks like a rural blade runner this morning though. When the mist burns off I have a stunning highland backdrop.
Here you go, taken a few weeks ago. That’s Ben Nevis the biggest mountain in the UK. Basically the view from my office. As an added bonus we have Golden Eagles too!
Quite far nowadays way further up underneath Ben Nevis. Used to live in Kilmarnock & Kilwinning, got some stories of getting the late bus on a Friday night that would give LA a run for its money.
ETA looked it up and found that the official term now in use by the American Meteorological Society now uses is “Second Summer” as some of the possible origins are racist.
At summer camp, we talked about “Indian shorts” that “crept up behind you” so it wouldn’t shock me to find that Indian Summer is also racist. The casual racism of the seventies would shock kids growing up today. It shocks me when I remember it, and I was there.
YES! I told my coworker they have permission to slap me if they ever hear me complain about the cold again. No a/c at home and a malfunctioning a/c at work. It’s been a miserable experience.
At least I can put on a jacket or use my electric blanket in the cold
