What's the weather where you are?

Whoa! Temperatures dropped 10 degrees Celsius!
Predictions had to be modified [as always] on the weather site from 28~29 °C to 19°C, because a cloud front arrived, started to rain and temps dropped suddenly in Hungary, West of Ukraine.

Can't complain though: cooler weather is better for thinking (work) than near sweltering heat. The adobe content of the house wall kept the heat from previous days' intense 'sunshine hours', so now the walls are radiating warmth into the inside as well.

The same in Belgrade, Serbia. It was 30C some 8 hours ago and its 13 now. And the whole summer was like that, plus that feel and smell of the early autumn.

Yeah i had that same sensation 2 days ago on an afternoon hike. It was really a down to earth aroma. A very cleansing fragrance. It felt good.
 
Hello Friends:

In the Netherlands we 'enjoy' autumn in August too the last couple of days, with day temps around 7C below seasonal average and last night we reached 0C in the most eastern part of Twente -- which is unheard of for decades:

Here it is, almost the middle of August, and we've only had a handful of real summer days in south-central France. This morning it was 11 C. It's early evening and 21 C out there right now - strong flow from the West and quite cool! Never thought I'd wear a sweater in August.

It's supposed to heat up to 34 next week but I guess we'll see. All summer, a strange weather pattern: heat up a couple of days, doesn't get too hot, then rain and cooling down, repeat.

Same weather pattern here in the UK.
We also had a heatwave in May for about a week (~30C), followed by snow and frost in June for a few days.
 
One more thing that I paid attention and noticed it today, leafs on the trees. The tree's foliage are already yellow in much greater extent than average for the first half of the August. Remembering how it was before, I would say that it is more suited for late September, early October to be yellow like that. (BTW July and especially August are most hottest months in these parts).

Other than that we had today two lightning strikes in two separate football matches. One in Bosnia and one in Serbia. One Bosnian player is badly injured.

Same here in Macedonia. I woke up this morning and it was very chilly outside. I have to wear a sweater when I went to work at 8:30, and the temperature was only 13C, with heavy low clouds like in autumn.The cold Norther wind is blowing. The forecasts are that it will be warm and sunny on Sunday, but nights and early mornings are chilly the whole summer.

I have noticed the same thing with the tree leafs.Just a few days ago i noticed a yellow leafs under and on some linden trees and I comment to my wife that it is too early for that.
I also noticed that every year summer is coming later( if it ever really comes ) and autumn comes earlier.
 
Northeastern Pennsylvania - since the second week of July, we have been experiencing above normal temps in the high 80-90's F and in the low 70's F at night with an occasional sprinkle or two, which would dry up in a heartbeat. Starting the last week of July, same high temps but with heavy down pours every 2-3 day, increasing the humidity. It's like walking inside a hot oven.

In past years, we would only get these hot muggy conditions, for about a week, in mid to late August.
According to this morning local weather report, we're in for another week, with these conditions.

Friday – starts with some patchy early fog, then hazy, hot & humid, partly sunny to cloudy at times with scattered showers & maybe a thunderstorm, high 93.

Tonight – could bring an evening shower otherwise it’s partly to mostly cloudy, low 73.

Saturday & Sunday – are hazy, hot & humid under a partly sunny to cloudy sky with scattered afternoon showers & maybe a thunderstorm; Saturday’s high is 92 & Sunday upper 80s to around 90.

Monday – becomes partly sunny, high 88.

Tuesday – looks partly sunny to cloudy with afternoon & evening showers & maybe a thunderstorm, high 85.

Wednesday – is mostly cloudy with scattered showers & some thunder, high 85.

Thursday – could be partly sunny to cloudy with maybe a late-day shower & chance of thunder, high 85.

Good this did not come down as snow or it would have been two or three feet. Still these records are mild compared to the damages one can witness on the latest SOTT video review of July.
 
Croatia
After a few very cold and rainy day, the air temperature is again rising.
For the next week again forecasting rain and thunderstorms, but we'll see.
 
S Central Wisconsin, USA

The last 4 weeks have nearly been a rerun. Early in the week, after a beautiful weekend, heat and humidity build until it's almost unbearable to work outside, then a front will come through on Thursday night, by Fri/Sat the temps and humidity are comfortable again. This pattern has cycled like clock work for the last 4 weeks!

Not complaining, just observing something unusual. I noticed this since my grocery shopping night is Thurs and have been getting caught in downpours. Cloud cover also kept us from viewing the Perseids :(

All in all, Summer has been beautiful around here and has been kind to the garden, too.

Singapore, and its hot and humid in between bouts of heavy rain. Temperatures between 27-33C. It is expected to rain all of this week. Hence the rains are not really following the normal monsoonal patterns in the tropics.
 
В Москве дождь идет уже почти сутки. Прогнозировали грозу с градом, но ничего подобного не происходит. Идет обычный дождь, то сильнее- то слабее, просто не заканчивается. Затоплений пока не наблюдается.

In Moscow it's been raining for almost a day. Predicted thunderstorm with hail, but nothing like this happens. There is the usual rain, then stronger, then weaker, just not the end. Flooding is not observed.

I'm not sure when Massachusetts became Florida but we have been in a long spout of hazy, hot and HUMID! This past Sunday it was in the 90's F with humidity over 60%. Which makes it feel like it's over 100F!
