content: Here in the UK it will be the spring Equinox at 5:14am on Tuesday 20th March. As this forum is international in it's character I would love to know how the weather is where you are and what you have to look forward to in the coming months? Will it be Tornado's or Monsoons, Autumn or Spring or what?This topic was inspired by the BBC series Orbit that I have been watching.http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00xztbrPlease share and educate me(I'm a bit bored of electronics at the moment).David.

content: We have had a full blown summer weather here on the east coast of the USA. Crazzzzy! I was in shorts and t-shirt for the last couple of days, my geller voltage reference is finally at its calibrated temp of 23C:)

content: I'm in San Antonio Texas. We have been having great weather. Last years was a drought years and did not receive much rain in the winter/spring. This year seems to be different; it been raining more consistantly. Everything is turning green.Summers are always hot and humid. That's why we have a swimming pool to cool off in the summer.

content: Yup same as above. In the US (Kentucky) we had basically no winter. Never had to really bundle up at all. Basically skipped spring ad went into early summer. I hope that having a mild winter will come back with a vengeance in form of severe heat in the summer.

content: Beautiful and sunny in Oxford, mid teens all week. The pubs are full again and people are rocking about in shorts and t-shirt.I have to laugh though because it hasn't rained for five days and people are talking about droughts, water restrictions etc.

My allergies are horrible, the worst my allergist has seen, and I haven't slept well in weeks; I wake up with plugged sinuses and a sore throat, eyes are red, every day has been miserable. I'm burning through Zyrtec-D like it's going out of style, and I'm wondering whether the local pharmacist thinks I'm using it to cook meth. None of the other OTCs work as well, including Allegra, Claritin, and Benadryl, so I'm hoping that either a deep freeze comes along, or that these stupid trees are done with their dumb flowering soon.Until then, I'll be slumped over the desk, with tissues in hand, HEPA filter on, and hot coffee/tea in my cup.

content: Warm and windy here in New Zealand.Currently, 21.905 Deg C here in the lab (Measured with 100 OHM RTD on Agilent 34410A, what else would you measure the lab temperature with!)We had a totally crap summer, Warm and very wet. We didn't even light the BBQ once when we would normally use every day in the summer. Needless to say we are hoping for a warm and dry winter.

content: Quote from: harnon on March 24, 2012, 11:16:48 amAh! Time to plug one of my favourite breweries, I think; The Grapes on George Street (opposite the theatre) is worth a look if you like a proper pub. Bath Ales have just (less than a fortnight ago) re-opened it after buying it from Greene King; I popped in for a couple of pints and a spot of work last Saturday, was very pleasant.QuoteWe've already got a hosepipe ban in place, I believe; to be honest I think people do tend to forget that we've just had a couple of relatively dry (on average) winters and seem to be heading for at least a second nice warm spring on the trot. One of the big reservoirs near here did look a little on the low side when I ambled round it recently!
