How's Your Weather Today?

[Darkness]

My 74 Super. It made it into Hot VWs magazine.

Beautiful! I miss seeing the wild and creative paint jobs. I read a copy of Hot VWs when I was in first grade and loved Beetles ever since. Hopefully one day this one can grace the pages.

First grade ... hahaha, OK. So, your Beetle is like 10 years older than you ? If I was to try to get a car 10 years older than I, I'd have to mortgage my house.

This one is a '70, I was born in '82. In my garage I have a real mysterious one. Body says December '53 and pan says '55. I've had it a long time in storage and plan to get started on it next Winter.

People say cars are bad investments, but I bought these for $1500-$2000 respectively. They're worth 10x that now, but I have no interest in selling.

Classics will appreciate, not Civics or Corollas.

I had paid $3400 for my then new 74.

You mean my Corolla will never be a classic???

We had a lovely day for working outside and work I did!

 

[soulman969]

Looks like this is the last of our 90° plus days for awhile. High of 97° forecast then tonight we get a major shift in the weather pattern and we drop into the mid to low 70°s for a few days with some rain at long last.

 

[Equalphone]

Low's 90's F here all week but with humidity at the same levels (90% much of the day), "real feel" is around 105 F.

I spent a few hours working outside, under a carport, but still... by the time I was done, my shirt was so sweat-soaked it looked like I had stepped into a shower with my clothes on... and it's not because I'm overweight. It's oppressive out there.

I need to move back to Arizona where it's 110F but there's no measurable humidity. At least working in the shade there is pleasant.

Another mild day ........



Supposed to cool off Friday .

 

[soulman969]

11:30 PM and it's 64° which my weather person says will also be our high for the day tomorrow. So we go from a week of highs in the mid to high 90°s to a high of 64° in just one day? At least there's some rain in the forecast. Gotta love this crazy weather.

 

[Lancpudn]

It's a grey wet day with light rain forecast for the whole day, Top temp of 19C/66F. Proper Lancashire Summer weather

Holy Moly, How do you guys cope with those brutal temps day after day? I start keeling over when it hits the mid 70F here.

You get used to it . Also helps to get anything outside done in the early morning hours .

Well so far today is even stranger than expected. After a high of around 97° on Monday and Tuesday right now we're perched at 57° with 96% RH. Seems we've borrowed some of Ian's Lancashire weather.

Seriously, it's like a damp, wet, autumn day. More like November than early August. The forecast says we'll have two days of this nonsense and the we're back in the 80°s again over the weekend and all of next week. Won't need at A/C for at least a week or so it seems.

 

[Digger]

So 17 today with a 20% chance of some precipitation.

 

[Lancpudn]

It's a changeable day with a bit of cloud, rain & sunshine today, Top temp of 20C.

 

[soulman969]

Reporting another proper Lancastrian day here. 56° and 96% RH with full overcast and rain off and on. We don't get weather like this very often so actually it's providing a nice break from the brutal heat we had a week ago. The high today will still be in the 60°s but tomorrow we begin another warming trend.
