...but no one does anything about it.

Or so goes the old cliche.

Here's the latest version of NarniaWeb's Meteorology and Weather thread (the previous thread begins here). Feel free to tell us what's up, weather-wise, in your area - or perhaps you have some obscure weather trivia or statistics to share (for example, it's only 37 days until the start of the possible snow season here ).

Or perhaps you are a professional meteorologist or storm chaser (or are considering such a career). What is your job like? Let us know what inspired your choice, what subjects you studied, and so on.

While this thread focuses mostly on the weather, we also occasionally comment on other bits of phenology - those other annual and seasonal cycles in nature. For example, maybe you've watched the Perseid meteor shower or seen the Northern (or Southern) Lights. Tell us about it!

Yay! first post!
I did watch the Perseid meteor shower(at least I'm pretty sure this is the one ) with my sibs and dad. I saw 3 and 1/2 to be exact.

The weather where I live is getting cooler, fall coming on and all.
It probably won't snow(hopefully) here for a few more months.

Well, we've had alot of thunder storms lately in Florida aka hurricane/thrunderstorm central.. lol.. It's been cloudy all week.. and on a frightening note, I almost got myself nearly struck by lightening the other day.. Not cool! I was in shock over it for almost an hour.. :S

But here lately Ive noticed that the wearther has been dropping into the 80's.. that means Autumn is finally on the way.. excited about that..

Hopefully, these storms will start going away as more cold weather comes on..

Gosh! That sounds really scary, jadis!

Oh, it was.. I just know now to be much more careful around water and metal objects when it's lightening outside.. I'll be so happy with the weather improves for the better though..

Its getting cooler here in NY, summer is definitely over. Havent had any rain for a while here though.

While we were at Crater Lake NP. this summer we got to see some really cool lightning. We went on a hike down to crater lake- about a 750ft hike down- and the weather was goregeous; not a cloud in the sky. About 30 min. later there was some cumulonimbous clouds off to the west. We decided to start the hike back up. Good thing we did. My sister and I got to the 3rd bend from the top and a lightning bolt struck probably 2 miles away- close enough to see it clearly. Then a little while later when my sister and I were up at the top there was a really close strike that was so close the thunder and the lightning were simulataneous. Mom and Dad weren't up at the top yet and turns out they were about 100yds from the strike. They weren't injured or anything but as they continued up the trail they started to smell a campfire smell. Turns out that strike started a forest fire.
I don't think I'll be seeing that anytime soon again.

Still rather warm here where I live. Thankfully we get ocean breeze which keeps it cool, but it signs of Autumn have yet to arrive. Then again, this is Southern Florida, so I'm not thinking I'll see any change in weather for quite a bit.

Crater Lake is one of those places I'd like to visit someday, Narnia93 - though perhaps not with quite the weather excitement you had. Glad everyone's safe.

So many of you seem to be having really warm weather. We had a spectacular weekend, warm by local standards (around 80F/27C) - just right for camping. We had sunny days and Moonlit nights, and saw a couple of Iridium flares. My favorite time of year is just about upon us!

its suney to day finaley
her in the uk its bin raning alot

I am so glad winter is over, spring is here and summer is next. I love summer. No worrying about school.

Enjoy the summer, Ilf! Before long it'll be snowing here.

I had a rather unusual weather-related experience last evening. It had rained earlier, and remained very warm and humid. The sky was mostly cloudy and hazy - I couldn't even see bright Jupiter through the murk. But inspired by johobbit's comments about seeing the International Space Station through the clouds, I went outside anyway and was rewarded with a view of both the ISS and the shuttle Discovery as they crossed the sky.

The weird part was that it was raining lightly while I watched them go by.

Cool, you must live in the southern hemisphere?

The weather here is boring, so I'll talk about the aurora borealis I saw once. It was during the winter and it was amazing because I've never seen them before where I live. It was bright green and it pulsed over the entire sky.

I almost went into meteorology, but I heard that there's a boat-load of physics required (NOT a strong point for me lol)
