What's the weather like over there?


Recommended Posts

The weather...

Twins had a soccer match in a rain shower. After 5 minutes both teams had the same coloured tricots/jerseys: mud with some grass spots. My son was playing goalie and was complaining because the others got only 3 shots towards his goal. Wet thick protection clothes and not much chance to warm up with some running...

With the final whistle of the referee rain stopped and sun appeared. The match of the adults was in bright sun.

 

@knuckles: wet weather and cold fingers. That's why I bought a used multi-copter with a camcorder to check for nests of birds of prey in high trees. I don't want to touch trees with nests when cleaning the forest from some trees for a new access road.

It is starting to cool down a bit more, and it is overcast in the early mornings, and we have been blessed with a bit of rain... but we need so much more. The soil dries before the day is halfway done...

 

Otherwise still sunshiny South Africa

It's a little bit on the hot side, especially for april, here in southern Germany -- 28 °C/82 °F and not a single cloud to be seen anywhere until maybe monday. Still down to 10/50 over night though, which I'm really glad about.

So when I get up tomorrow, way too early for a sunday at about seven, I'll check if my bike survived the winter and go looking for some sweet, sweet ice cream. That is, if I can get my lower back up.

Sunday,  BBQ at a friends place 3 miles away.

16:30 30C, sunny

16:35 20C, hail storm with heavy lightnings, phoned home to close the storm doors

16:40 16C, rain storm

16:45 16C, flooding of the local rivelet starting because of a mud slide from just worked farmland

16:50 16C, daughter number 2 answers: which storm, we were sunbathing, no heavy weather at our house, she just heard a bit of thunder from the other side of the hill

I think weather researchers call this micro climate

Wife smiled and said our daughter had her boy friend visiting, could be the reason for not recognizing a storm this near

We're finally getting some good weather too. Clouds in the sky with a nice wet morning after a cold night. Hoping this leads to oodles of rain. We had 88mm in three days last week, but it's a drop in the ocean compared to what we need to end this water crisis. So tired of having 90 second showers and buckets everywhere.

We catch and use the first bit of cold water from the showers to water our plants, and sometimes for the toilets, other households use it mainly for toilets. With just two people showering we can water our garden at least 2ce a week. We don't drink that water. The tap water in Franschhoek is very clean and drinkable.

I really hope it gets better.  My mom's down in Bethesda, and she's saying they had soggy weather last two days.  Yah, I always really push what I can do on Sundays, hoping to get a "fill" of activitiy before returning to work on Monday for the long week

Sunday was mother's day in Germany. The weather forecast map was painted red: warning for hail, heavy rain, storm, ... However it was sunny , calm and good BBQ weather for 70 family members. We planed to use the barn we had emptied. But watching the rain and cloud radar online: a small stripe with no clouds was at our place. So we could do the BBQ outside.

I had mixed feelings because we are not connected to the water supply and forced to use our water supply well which reaches deep into the hill. Also the forest around was dry like cinder. So we needed rain badly. We had luck; rained all night and at morning the sun is here again ;)
