Insane Temperature Contrast

#1 Postby Scorpion » Thu Feb 10, 2005 4:37 pm

I can't believe that it is nearly 81 degrees out right now with a warm wind blowing.Especially when tomorrow morning its gonna be near 40 degrees with a windchill in the mid 30's. Thats about a 40 degree difference in day and night :eek: .

I agree with you, Scorpion. A big temp contrast.

We are suppose to get down to 38 tonite. It was in the 70's earlier and at present it is 68. I'm still in shorts and flip flops. Not for long, I guess.

Eh! Thirty to Forty degree diurnal temperature changes are no big deal here-especially in the Spring and that's with out fronts!

Wow, thats insane!! I wonder if such extreme temp differences in such short time can injure people? I guess its kind of insane down here because we're so far south and its crazy to be able to go to the beach in the evening and then in the morning freeze your butt off.

Wow, talk about hot flashes. The warm up wouldn't be so bad but those drops in temperature are unreal.

When the weather flip flops back and forth like that, people around here call it pneumonia weather.
