What is your weather like?

Aww yes... Our scandinavian climate has returned; rain, rain, rain, cloudy, cold and overall rather depressing.

It feels like home again.
 
Been just a bit cooler recently but only because of the huricanes and floods in the neighborhooding state of Texas. I'm preparing for the massive invasion of mosquitos that always follow a flood.
 
It's dull with a slight breeze and a temp of ~15°C. It however is not raining, so this equates to a good day here in Wales. :)
 
I'm in Bakersfield, CA (a medium-sized town at the south end of the San Joaquin Valley, about 90 minutes north of L.A.).

There's a huge, huge wildfire nearby. Going outside is decidedly unpleasant, as the sky is totally covered by smoke (even in the middle of the day, it wasn't very bright, and everything was rather yellowish in hue). Ash is everywhere, stinging your eyes and coating cars.

Kinda post-apocalyptic almost.
 
It started raining yesterday, and its been raining off and on since then. I AM HAPPY!
 
Cold and wet in Sydney right now. 16°C odd with rain, as last night I told my mum it would be warm and fine.

I'll never forget the time the sky went practically pitch black in the middle of the day as the result of bush fires. I was gardening in the country down the coast, but had to stop as it was too dark to see. It was easily mistakable for the dead of night, other than the smell of smoke. Later the red sun emerged, before the haze was replaced by blue sky once again, in the space of mere hours. It was surreal.
 
Always is, I'd love to have an active map of all the fires here just so I can get some fantastic pictures.
 
Today was a grand day for weather here.

First there was the nice warm day, oh about 88 degrees at most. Nice like that throughout the day. Then it started to get gloomy. Then a storm, an unseasonable huge lighting storm. Lighting popping every few seconds, hail, heavy rains. It didn't overstay it's welcome however. Just awesome.

I remember that. It was horrific. I think that was when the bushfires got so close to our homes, they prepared us for evacuation...

But right now, it is a miserable temperature, in the mid-teens... And rain...
 
Apparently, we had more rain in Sydney yesterday than the entire monthly average, and a considerable proportion of the yearly average. They might even ease water restrictions for us. Sadly, there is little respite for farmers, as the deluge did not extend to the country.
 
Melbourne. Where we get all five seasons in the space of 30 minutes.

Seriously, I'm surprised all the weatherpeople haven't hanged themselves through the utter pointlessness of their endeavors. It's not possible to predict Melbourne weather.
 
Sunny, but very windy here. I actually caught a cold last week just by walking in the street wearing a t-shirt.
 
The whole of both the spring and the summer has sucked horribly here. Yesterday was the first real rain we've had in the past 6 months that was more than a mere misting or drizzling. Mind you, by now, we should have had a good 20-30 days of rain...

For the past 8 years, the grass here is always green and healthy well into September. This year, though, it was all brown by June, and it's now turning into dirt all over the place. The corn fields I regularly pass on the way to Wal-Mart are all stunted, and the farm across the street didn't have anything this year at all (which is unusual, since the guy always has cows, horses, tobacco, or corn growing).

As for the heat... we've seen a few 100F days, plus humidity (and considering every year prior, 90F was considered 'unreasonably hot').

Global warming sucks.
