how is the weather outside today?

ITS HOT VERY HOT....BRIGHT SUNNY DAY

In Melbourne, Australia it is around 16 degrees at the moment, with a forecast top of mid 20's later on. It is lovely and sunny with just a light breeze.

How Hot is Hot? There are many places on earth that are plenty hot - record-breaking hot. In fact, there's a good chance on the day this record-breaking temperature was recorded by a meteorological station in El Azizia in 1922 there were other places hundreds of miles away that were even hotter. In all likelihood, this record temperature has been exceeded since then in many places on earth, but we have no official records of the temperatures. It is important to note that when atmospheric temperatures are recorded it is not the surface temperature, where it can sometimes reach 150° F/ 66° C, but rather the air temperature at about 5 feet (1.6 m) above the surface in an enclosed shelter. Of course, it's important that the temperature sensor is not exposed to direct sunlight - the shelter is louvered to permit air flow across the sensor. Most humans don't 'hang out' where some of the hottest tempertatures on earth are regularly experienced so there aren't a lot of meterological stations in these places to reliably record extreme temperatures. Desert Lands As big as the earth is, over two thirds of its surface is covered in water from the oceans. The remaining one-third of the earth's surface is exposed as dry land for us to live on, but a third of that dry land is really dry. In fact, it's inhospitable desert. Much of the deserts in the world are clustered between 5 to 30 degrees north and south of the equator, in what are called subtropical zones. Scientists have theorized that these desert belts are due to two things: 1) Heat (read more about the Sun) 2) Lack of moisture Duh? Anybody who's ever been outside on a hot summer day, all day, knows that. Just about every continent on earth that is inhabited by humans experiences seasonal weather changes, with a distinct winter and summer. Just because there's hot, dry weather during the summer, doesn't mean that where you live is going to turn into a desert. What makes the desert so hot and dry is the climactic conditions that are sustained almost continually, year round. Any part of the world that's hot and dry for long enough periods throughout the year won't be able to support much plant or animal life. Living things need water to survive. Why is it so Dry All the Time? First, the air in the earth's atmosphere is warmest around the equator (because the sun reaches the earth at a direct 90° angle) so that warmer air rises and flows north and south of the equator. As the air "piles" up in the northern and southern latitudes, these zones of "piled-high" warm air become permanent high pressure zones. As the air at the "bottom of the pile" descends toward the earth it gets warmed up even more. Because this descending warm air has no clouds (i.e., condensing water vapor), that allows the burning sun to go right through the air and heat the land mass below even more. Hence, extreme heat. Warm air can hold a lot more moisture (water vapor) than colder air. Unless this really warm air contacts some much cooler air (or cooler land mass), there's nothing to coax the moisture out of the air in the form of precipitation (rain, fog). Hence, lack of moisture. I thought that might give u all some extra knowledge about heat and how hot hot is when we moan about it and its really not that hot atall lol

It is F**** Cold and I am OVER IT!!!!! We are supposed to be in Spring and it normally is a little nippy this time of year but this is a joke...LOL

Well, it's sunny and apparently about 81F/27C outside. *sigh* I'm so sick of it being warm. I want my fall/winter! I look forward to it ALL year and it seems like it's never gonna come here.

It is raining here in Portugal. It's a nice day to stay at home! lol

A lake effect snow warning remains in effect until 6 am EST Friday as heavy lake effect snow bands affect the region. The lake effect snow bands will continue to move onshore from Lake Erie and intensify again later this evening. The snow bands will continue through Friday morning. Additional snow accumulations of 2 to 5 inches can be expected tonight. Locally 6 inches of additional snow is possible tonight where the snow showers and squalls persist. A few spots may see storm total snow accumulations of 8 inches or more by Friday morning. Snow may be heavy at times with locally an inch per hour snowfall rates. Winds will be 10 to 20 mph tonight with occasional higher gusts expected. This will cause blowing and drifting of the snow reducing visibilities to near zero at times. In lake effect snow the weather can vary from locally heavy snow in narrow bands to clear skies just a few miles away. If you will be traveling across the region be prepared for rapid changes in Road and visibility conditions.

i am in bangalore,,here it is very cold

gr8

It is about 40 in PA, USA. It snowed yesterday! I love snow!

Its about 40F at 0347 Monday AM.

It is about 7 degrees Fahrenheit here.

here cool breze going on . and wather is chill

it is very cold!

Parts of Oklahoma has blizzard warnings, ths is the first in history they claim. Not every winter had snow but when we get snow we get abundant amounts. Currently is says 18 degrees. it's not the good snow though. Just that fine power snow. I love watching huge snowflakes comming down. Just think, yesterday morning till about 3:00 pm it was in the 70s' then it started raining throughout the night till this morning. Then the temp dropped and now it's freezing with snow. I've lived here my whole life and the weather still is amazing to me. Tomorrow it could go back to being in the 80s.

It's about 11 degrees, but earlier today we had a wind chill of about 5 below.. That's farenheit..

Cool wet and rainy.

Weather is really pleasant here nither chilly nor hot.

In Mississippi today Thursday Dec. 7 the weather is windy( 25 miles an hour gust) and cold. brrrrrr! 43 degrees farenheit(6 C ), wind chill 33 degrees farenheit.

its cool and pleasent....i love today
