I'm not posting any pictures today because they would be soggy and dull. But I have a whole lot of remarkable numbers. In the 24 hours from 9 am yesterday (7 August) until to 9 am this morning our outside temperature barely moved.
Here are the 24 hour hourly numbers in degrees C starting at 9 am yesterday: 5.2, 6.1, 6.4, 6.3, 6.2, 6.9, 7.3, 7.3, 7.3, 7.0, 7.4, 7.2, 7.4, 6.5, 6.7, 6.0. 7.1, 7.0, 7.7, 7.1, 7.3, 7.0, 8.7, 9.0, and 8.5. So the numbers barely changed all day but, if anything began to rise a little through the night - which is very strange for winter! Perhaps the cause was other thing happening. There was heavy cloud throughout the day and it started raining at midday and barely stopped until 6 am. During that time we received a welcome but fairly modest c. 10 mm of rain (or just under half an inch).
Have you heard of the term "a flat day"? Well yesterday was the flattest day I've ever remembered. But it looks like we may be in for another similarly boring experience. Right now at about 10 am the temperature has soared to about 9 C, which is what it was 2 hours ago! And the sky is still he same boring colour.
Maybe our problem isn't global warming but temperature stability. Mm! Maybe I shouldn't have said that stupid thing. Psst. Don't pass my remark on to Donald. If he heard about it he would explain how firing guns into the air would bring about climate stability. However, if that conclusion were true, it would least cut down on America's murder rate!
