1. What's the temperature like outside right now?
Rainy. Clouds trapped the heat overnight; so, it's a wee warmer than it has been.
2. What's your ideal kind of weather?
About 68°F (20°C, 293.15K). If I'm on the pitch, it's best to be overcast and even rainy. But, the lower temps do me best. (Of course, I live in an f'in desert!)
3. Do you prefer living in a climate with lots of seasonal change, or do you prefer it to stay close to the same every day?
We pretty much have all four seasons here, which is great in my book. I'd get sick of the same temperature all year.
4. How hard does it have to be raining for you to pull out an umbrella?
"Rain drops keep falling on my head..." I don't own an umbrella. Living in a desert climate breeds an appreciation for the drops, occassionally leading to bouts of dancing revelry.
5. What's the worst storm you've ever experienced? Is the weather where you live ever potentially dangerous?
I've been through some doozies, but I can't say I recall anything life-threatening. During one storm, it was really coming down hard here at work and I went out back to see what it looked like since the sump pump never works and our lay-down yard floods pretty fast. I was standing under the awning, about 30 yards from out 150' self-support tower when it was hit by lightning. Damn, that was loud as f***!
I drove from Abilene to Lubbock, TX after my friends' wedding, and as we passed through Sweetwater, we saw green-out effects and whirling clouds. Ever seen a green sky with green clouds? It's creepy. We hit the front about five miles down the road, made it through the sheets of rain and hail, and finally got back to Lubbock. When I was cozy in my apartment, I turned on the news. About 15 minutes after we went through Sweetwater, it was whacked with a huge tornado. That was kinda creepy.
There was another storm in Lubbock when my buddy and I were at a movie at an old converted theater. One of the side doors blew wide open, and we could see the rain blowing sideways outside. Nobody else jumped up to shut the door; so, I did. I reached outside to grab the handle and had to grab onto the door frame because the wind immediately sucked me out the door. I was drenched, but I persevered and got the door shut to a small ovation.
And, I got drenched one morning walking to school. There was a pesky li'l cloud that drifted past my head (no joke, it was at ground level and it wasn't foggy at all) as I walked through a shortcut clearing, and I turned around to look behind me and saw a wall of rain coming at me. I was about a ten-minute walk from the front doors of school, but it caught me anyway. I was totally soaked, like Beelz's story above, and the school day hadn't even started yet. I remember how annoying it was to squish around in my desk for First Period.
thats north queensland weather for you though)
- when it rains i get soaked wherever i go..wearing white dresses are fun then
