viking86 Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Why is it almost 9pm and it is still daylight outside?! Only 9 PM???
ytterbiumanalyst Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Why is it almost 9pm and it is still daylight outside?! Only 9 PM??? I know you're not far enough north to have the literal never-setting sun, but what is the longest amount of sunlight you get in a day?
viking86 Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 ^Yeah, you have to travel a lot further north for that. But just for fun I had a look at the weather data, and the official numbers for today are saying sunrise at 4:51 AM and sunset at 10:20 PM. According to the data the longest day will be on June 21st. This day we will have sunrise at 04:09 AM and sunset at 11:11 PM, meaning just over 19 hours of daylight. But it never gets completely dark this time if year. And just for fun, if I look at the darkest day of the year this past winter, which was December 21st, we had sunrise at 9:44 AM and sunset at 3:29 PM.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Wow, that's pretty cool. Interesting that you would call it a weather phenomenon, because out here we only learn about in in astronomy class. But yeah, if you experience it, it's weather for you! Out here summer solstice is usually 6AM to 9PM and winter solstice about 8AM to 5PM. So...not nearly as bad. Sunset at 3:30...that's gotta mess with you.
viking86 Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Well, I wouldn't call it weather, but since the topic was brought up... And yes, the winters are terrible due to the short days! Dark when you go to work, dark when you go home from work. It just seems to drain a lot of the energy out of you...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Sounds like a good time of year to go to Florida!
DoinItForTheFame Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 It was 102 today. Omg. No thank you. I've got a feeling it is going to be an awful summer.
Nrthwnd Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 We got POURING RAIN! Been pretty dry and sunny these past few weeks. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But no rain for a pretty long time, here in the city itself. Till today.
viking86 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 New heat records many places in the country today. For my city Bergen the previous heat record was 31,8*C (89,24*F) from 2004, but today the temperature reached 32,2*C (89,96*F). This is the hottest officially measured temperature in Bergen since they started the measurements in 1904. It may not seem like a whole lot for many of you, but here on the Norwegian west coast we consider 25*C (77*F) a hot summers day. Fun fact: The location of the measuring station in Bergen is called Florida, and today it really feels like it.
Nrthwnd Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 We're finally getting some rain today. It started late last night. We definitely need it, after all this time of mucho sunshine, fire smoke haze, and humidity. Hopefully it won't keep going and going, and we'll get back to some sun again.
viking86 Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Been raining for most of the last two weeks, getting a bit sick of it. Summer is definitely over, temperature has dropped into single digits this weekend (<50°F).
DoinItForTheFame Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 It sort of kind of feels like fall...
viking86 Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Rain, rain, rain, rain.... we need to go back to September 4th for the last time we had a day without any rain at all. And tonight this is coming...
VF15 Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 It’s currently 0 degrees Fahrenheit and it’s only November 13th . Thankful that this is my last Minnesota winter that I have to endure.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 We had our first snow last night! 32°F for a high today, so we'll keep the flakes on the ground for a little while.
bgtlover Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 It's currently 70 degrees and cloudy here. It's what our fall consists of. It is supposed to get down to 38 tomorrow night/Friday morning however. BRRRRRR...Then it will be back to the mid 70s by this time next week...lol
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Cold. Very Cold. Super Cold. Awfully Cold. I HATE the cold.
VF15 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 The forecasted low temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday night are frightening.
jlp94 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 We have about 8-10 inches on the ground here in Illinois, and on Wednesday, the high is -11. So not great.
