Our TV weather people, in Austin, are, so often, very far from accurate. Unlike in my childhood, where weather forecasters would freely admit they blew a forecast, the Austin TV weather forecasters simply change their latest forecast to what's currently going on outside.

It's absurd. We're talking a four hour old forecast that predicted sunshine and mild weather to actual outside conditions of driving rain and cold temperatures, four hours later, and the forecasters simply talking about the current conditions and how long the rain will last.

Despite today's forecasters with all of their high tech weather forecasting gear, with the fancy names, I believe that the forecasters of my youth, who had an actual feel for the weather, and operated by looking at a few charts and sticking their heads out the window, had a far, far better track record of letting one know what to expect, weather-wise, for any given future time.
 
Sunny..warm , and ended up being 80 degrees all day .. we went out, and it was just the loveliest day to just chill..

We went for lunch and locally brewed Ale at the traditional country pub in the next village and sat out in the pub garden at peace with nature and the horses in the next field ...

Then after we did some shopping we stopped off at yet another village pub late afternoon for coffee, and a comfy seat reading the papers..

..... ideal temps, with no breeze at all...

Don't look now, HollyDolly but there is a horse staring at your chairs. Or is it the coffee?

Bright and chilly here today. 15C but it feels colder. Probably because I have the windows open. Wind died down too.
 
a bit cloudy here this morning,sun made come out by noon,temps near 70
The rest of the week will be sunny temps in 70's near 80. I like it when I still can wear my shorts in Sept
 
I'm in Sydney too and we have had soft steady rain all day and probably all last night too. The ground is getting a good soaking and hopefully the catchment area of our largest dam is also being replenished.
Unfortunately the regional areas where they are fighting uncontrolled fires are missing out on the rain but some drought affected areas are getting a bit of a drink.
 
Small world Warrigal. Yes after at least three months of mostly dry it is good to get a good soaking. My lawns needed it. That current temp I posted has dropped now to a rather chilly 9C. We are in the inner south/west and have had some heavy falls overnite and again today. I can usually tell by the pool water level.

Humberto is keeping this high pressure locked right over us for a week. I'll suffer with the 70s-80s temps and sun.

Weather cooling some here. But will warm up later in week.
Holding off on excitement over Bills. They have started strong in past only to choke later. I am waiting to see how they do against the Pats.

Haha, yes after being in the proverbial doldrums for nearly two decades, one should be cautious about Bills-cheering. But the "experts," the local talking heads, see nothing but blue skies ahead for the Bills. But they could end the season 2-14.

I'm just south of you, between Honeoye and Naples. :)

FWIW, it was 44° this morning.
 
I'm getting Flash Food warnings on my phone this morning. .... think I'll relax on my patio today and watch the storms rolling in from the Gulf.
It's a great view from my 3rd floor apt. .... I just love watching the cloud formations.
 
We're in the midst of our "hopefully" last heat wave of the Summer....temps reaching the mid to upper 90's this week. By this coming weekend, things begin to cool down a bit, then nicer Fall weather should begin to arrive.
 
Back at the cottage in Maine for a week or so and the temp early this morning was 47F. Beautiful sleeping weather with the bedroom window open and a couple of extra blankets. Should drift up into the high 60's or 70 today, depending on the sun/cloud mix. It's as still as a mill pond out on the lake - -hardly a ripple.
 
It's 6pm now and it's been raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock since noon.

But I'm glad of it because we have been drier than a popcorn fart for the past several weeks.

And the rain has cooled it off to a pleasant 72 degrees. A welcome relief from the mid to upper 90's that we have been having for afternoon highs.
 
I'm not in my home in the North East....I'm in the South...It's been Beautiful in the 70's and 80's so far this week....
