I Don't Miss This Weather

The weeks forecast for the area outside NYC I grew up in. At least we are only looking at 2 days of it here...

For anyone who (like me) would prefer to see those figures in Celsius:

They don't go any higher than 32C, which isn't particularly uncomfortable (although, of course, humidity needs to be taken into account as well). It's still below body temperature, which means that it's possible to lose body heat to the air. It's when the air temperature exceeds normal body temperature that things can get a bit worrying, as it's impossible for one's body to lose heat. For example, it's going to get to 41C in Cambridge on Monday!

As a sun worshipper I'm confused by, on the one hand people investing their hard-earned to get to a place in the sun for a fortnight and on the other, people complaining about getting it free.

Sells papers I suppose.

It's OK if you sweat because the evaporation will cool you, even if the temperature is above body temperature. Prince Andrew might have a problem though!

Chris, I thought there was an option on the page for either.

Cambridge is landlocked, whereas Long Island is almost surrounded by water...Atlantic ocean to the South, Long Island sound to the north.

So did I! However when I clicked on the °F symbol, expecting to be able to change it to °C, it only offered me different locations, rather than a different temperature scale. That's why I had to call on Aunty Beeb for help.

Being surrounded by water can sometimes mean that there are lots of cooling winds (as in the Canary Islands) but in other locations it can just mean that there's very high humidity (as in Singapore). I suspect that Long Island might fall into the latter category.

Andrew could simply stick his head out of the car window and let his tongue loll, the dirty dog. :-)
