Well, its a sweltering 82�F here in Buffalo. This is the hottest weather we've had, and although many people ventured out today, I stayed in my room, in front of my fan.
After weeks of on and off weather, we finally get a solid week of warm beautiful weather...and it looks like storms for the rest of this week...Frankly, I miss thunderstorms, hehehe.
How is everything elsewhere?

In Houston it's hot. And I mean freakin' hot. 91�F is the current temperature (32.8�C). The humidity has been terrible! It rained Monday morning, but it was a hot sticky rain. If I had the money, I'd transfer to the University of Wisconsin!

It's been on and off cold/warm here, with nice sunshine most of the time... VERY windy, though. The past few days have been rainy.... *shudders at thought of thunderstorms* .... I hope it gets nice again soon!

Summer's been trying to force its way into eastern New Mexico these past few weeks. We've had highs in the eighties (~mid-20s C) recently, but today's high temp was in the 50s (~mid teens C).

Well, today it was supposed to be typical Southern weather with hot sticky skies. But the clouds never let the temperatures get to 80 degrees (Farenheit), so wearing khakis today wasn't too bad. It supposed to stay like this for the next five days. Hopefully it will be about today's temperature in a week and a half since many of my friends will be graduating outside in the field behind me as I write this message.
On the really positive side, I finished my last exam! (Whoo Hoo!) Now I can get back to reading Sun Tzu's The Art of War for fun, and not graded. (We had the pleasure of reading it for Conflict Management. Somethign we can all use skills in. Recommend it to anyone.)

Ohhh, don't get me started about the weather.
Has anyone noticed how MORONIC the general public can be? Take last summer for example. El Nino or whatever it was. TERRIBLY hot. Everyone was sitting in front of their fans or in their air-conditoned houses, whining and complaining, WISHING for summer to be over, PRAYING for winter to come and save them.................and what happens when winter finally does arrive? THAT'S RIGHT! THEY WHINE ABOUT THAT TOO!! Jeez!! Ohhhh, close the window, I'm too cold. Ohh, let's get some more wood on that fire. Ohh, this is a cold winter! *ROLLS EYES* So soon people forget........ARRG. Like on the bus (we have a rapid-transit system here, believe it or not).....it's the same every year. In the summer, the windows are wide open and everyone's complaining about the heat. But when winter comes, do you see ANYONE opening the window to ENJOY the cold they've wished would come for 4 months? NO. --Coddman P.S., as far as responding to the TOPIC.....the weather here has been unsatisfactory. It's too damn hot. But of course, hot for me is 19 Deg. Celcius (What's that??)................. (or, for those metric-challenged homo-habiluses out there, "66 Deg. Farenheight" LOL, is that more familiar?). Hehe

West of Scotland has had sunny skies and temps around 20 Celsius for the past week. Until today, and the RAIN. D'oh!

For those dictionary-challenged people its Celsius and Farhenheit...And just because I choose to use one form of measurement does not make me metrically challenged...
Now if you excuse me, I have a 2lb, 1.5 cubit sub to eat.

I use both the metric and Imperial systems, although I prefer metric, and delight in calling people "Imperial scum" (jokingly, of course). If I had my way, we would all use Kelvins for temperature. It's 300 degrees out, and that's the way it is. Etc.

And no I will not convert that to Celsius.

Upper Michigan: ~50� today, ~70� the week before I left. Cold rain today.
North Coast of Jamaica: ~90� with like 90% humidity! Some rain, but in the evening.

Here in the amazing great etc UK we use both. Centigrade because it's more logical, modern, and we can understand it in Trek without having to convert it, but we also understand Farenheit, so that when old people talk we can understand.
Actually, most of my generation quite happily interchanged Centigrade, Farenheit, inches, centimetres, metres, miles, feet. Strangely a lot more people know their height in metres than know their weight in kilograms. (I'm around 1.8 and 75 I think). And we weight using stones and pounds too...
And yard seems to have fallen into dissuse.
I hate the indeterminate weather we're having now. If I take a coat to uni I'm hot, and end up stuffing it in my bag. If I don't it starts raining, and I become cold and wet. Hot, cold, I don't mind, but just MAKE YOUR MIND UP!

I thought weight was supposed to be measured in newtons?
