Guest guest Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yeah! Things are horrible here with temperatures at 40 C and relative humidity at 60-70 % You're right about the weatherman and his forecast...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Bittersweet Kishoreda ! Believe it or not we are having one of the worst heat waves here in the Chicago area with temps around 100 degrees and high humidity and relative drought conditions.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Dear Ashok,  Apparently its something to do with the Jetstream, which is not moving (probably on strike or in a traffic jam). At your end this is leading to high temps whereas at our end its leading to water water everywhere with unseasonal low temps. If only we could get the clouds to go where they are needed. The drought situation here (yes, even the UK can have a drought but the ecperience cannot be compared to India where poeple die if there uis a drought whereas in the UK all that happens is you can't water the garden or wash your car!) has abated and we don't need the rain anymore especially not when the cricket and Wimbledon is being washed out. The Olympics are looking dicey as well now.  Regards,  Amulya  PS. Hope it was ecstasy for you on Sunday (unless you were supporting Italy).

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Interesting Amulya ! As far as Sunday it was a mixed bag of emotions. Luckily they were not versing against Portugal. I was kinda rooting for Italy as can't help rooting for the underdog. But at the end it was very heartwarming to see Espana take the cup as they deserved it so much. The final would have been a little more interesting if they were playing against Germany.
