I'm almost on my way and I didn't sign up for 13°C and rain.

You can tell when it's summer in the Pacific Northwest. The rain gets warmer than it is in November.

Don't bet on it. I'm about 40 miles North of Eugene...high clouds & cool. Could be a shower or two in the works.

Just find a nice big girl with furry legs to curl up with. They're not hard to find.

Just think of it as 55 degrees Fahrenheit. That sounds a lot warmer that 13 C.

Yeah, Houston is setting record after record. Yesterday was the hottest June day ever. Except, we may exceed that today...

104 F at IAH yesterday

In Houston, we normally do not exceed 100 F. Yeah we get the humidity, but not that much in the temp. The Humidity is rising today, so I expect that we're going to have a fall off in the temp, a little.

Here is the real time data

I'm not sure where you are, but it's warm and dry enough here that I've only had the top on twice in the last month or so.

I just looked at the weather in Tofino and Whistler these past days. Looked pretty dreadful. Will be making a circle: Seattle, Victoria, Tofino, Whistler and back to Seattle via Semiahmoo and Lake Cle Elum.

I have been up to Portland about four times in the past two months and the weather hasn't been that bad.

And that is coming from a native So Cal guy.

I tease the locals that they should subsidies my air fare because I bring the sunshine with me.

The weather has been extremely cool and wet in Michigan this year (it was in the 90's last year).
Over the last week the tomatoes grew about two feet. No complaints here.

Global warming/change has to do with overall global patterns of wind/ocean currents being altered, so local/regional effects will vary.
