Location: Big Island, Hawai’i
Time: Whole month
We had about 4 days of sunshine, the rest is Rain, rain, cloudy, rain rain and more rain…ugh…I hate this place…we once had 26 inces of rain in 24 hours…that was an interesting experience.
We get true desert here in the antelope valley at the moment where its reguarly between 80-110 during the day and gets down to about 60 at night
Althouhg its seriously dry… in the wildfire we had over mothers day weekend the firefighters were having problems becuase they said it was like a august fire where the brush is totally dried out and not a may fire where the brush is still green and not too burnable
Sad to say they susupect it was arson
Wettest? I think the wettest place on earth is a village in Darjeeling, India, but it rains pretty much every single day in Ireland:
Houston reporting in…
Usually we’re hot and humid, a combination I find rather unpleasant. Until the front hit on Friday, we’d been above average tempwise for 31 days or so, usually in the low 90’s and our rainfall this year was half of normal. But with the front we got a good rain and 2 wonderfully cool days. It can’t last.
This summer we’ll suffer through 95 to 105 temps and no rain until it floods. Remember TS Alison? It dumped 20 something inches on us, sometimes at the rate of 5 freakin’ inches an hour.
Another Phoenician here. Record high 122F or 50C. We will see 110-115F or 43-46C a lot during the summer. Annual rainfall is 7.5 in. So far, since Jan. 1 we’ve had .19 in. of rain. We are short by 2.88 for the year so far.
But it’s a dry heat 
Upon entrance I thought I’d see some names of some nice-looking ladies who were ready for just about anything, how utterly disappointing
Scotland has to be the coldest place!!! In winter nahhhhhhhhhhh
It was 104 yesterday according to the patio thermometer. Not bad for Las Vegas, but I really like it when it is 115 or more…love the heat.
As far as rain?..couple times a years, tops. Although when it does rain, it comes down big time! Flood zones all over this city…one casino on the Strip (Harrahs) even sets their machines higher off the ground as the floods go right through the casino area.
The only sucky thing about the weather here is the high winds in Spring and Autumn…60mph gusts are nothin’.
It’s true. the Rangers at Jean LaFitte Nat’l Historical Park in Jackson Square used to tell those stories.
However, there is a below ground cemetery in the area. Travel south of New Orleans about six miles until you get to Chalmette. Look for the Chalmette Unit of Jean LaFitte NHP and you’ll find the Chalmette National Cemetery. All 15,000+ internments are below ground, as required by (federal) law. The cemetery is also above seal level (where the City of New Orleans is not).
Oh, yes. Chalmette is also the site of the most misunderstood battlefield in US history, as well as the site of the greatest military defeat in British military history - the Battle of New Orleans.
ROFL
No Fair!!!
I’m at work and just spilt tea everywhere.
I have this image of New Orleans city cemetery being overrun by seals. 
Thanks Duckster for making my day shiny and new again. That was cool.
BTW thanks for clarifying the trueness of the burial situation in New Orleans too.
We are almost smack on the equator here in Singapore. Every fricking day of every fricking year it is the same fricking weather, except that the locals think it is hot when the max temperature is 35 C and cold when the max temperature is 30 C.
- eight more weeks before the move to France *
Kansas.
30 degrees one day. 70 the next. 45 the next. 90 the next.
Ice storm that destroyed every tree in the city, took out power for almost a week and destroyed every major appliance in our household.— 3 days later it was almost 90 again.
Oh and its been rainy/stormy/drizzly for about 2 weeks straight now.
ThemeParkWorld, Florida checking in.
Lessee, it’s been 90 most of the week (past couple of weeks, actually), we had 1/2 an inch of rain the other day, and I think I can smell faint smoke.
Drought conditions (meaning potential brushfires)
Thunderstorm season should have started (thank goodness fewer lightning strikes in the area to ignite the deadwood from the drought)
And hurricane season starts June 1. (Prediction so far is 13 named storms, meaning maybe some rain, but lots of wind damage).
Not the hottest, not the wettest, just checking in.
Boring weather here in Darwin.
4 months of the year it’s 28-30C every day, 18-22c every night and doesn’t spill a drop from the sky. 4 months it’s 31-35C everyday and 26-28C everynight and always seems like it’s just about to rain, but never does. 4 months it’s 31-33C everyday, 28-30C everynight with constant tropical rain and thunderstorms.
(None of the above figures should be construed as being definitive)
The best part is the air-con at about 12C in every building. You seriously need a jacket to have lunch comfortably, but start melting the minute you leave the building.
Here in Taiwan we have been experiencing a MAJOR drought, which has forced water rationing measures to be undertaken in Taipei. Luckily, in the south (where I live) we just had 5 straight days of rain, and no rationing. Plus typhoon season is coming soon.
It hits about 30-35 regularly in summer, but the worst thing is the humidity. Ugh. In winter it can drop all the way down to about 15C, for a couple of days anyway.

Snowed first week of May here (northern BC, Canada) which is why I’m glad I’m moving south next winter.
Now, at least, we are starting to get green lawns in a few spots. Victory!
