How's the weather?

[Greengoop]

Wow 7°C in Ireland but it’s going down to 11 in England on Thursday!

[Greengoop]

Sorry for double posting guys

I’ve heard the stereotype of English weather too many times, but we are quite literally having the worst rain I can remember currently. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Well, there was an orange rainfall alert in the two southernmost counties of Ireland on Friday. I work very near the south coast so I was experiencing it

[Greengoop]

Oh wow did it happen?

It’s cleared up a bit now, but I still feel the water running down my back I was a bit too late to get inside

[PluMGMK]

Yeah, it made for some interesting driving conditions. I was down at 60 km/h for a lot of the way home (hey, I'd better get used to it since they're talking about reducing the speed limit to 60 on most of those roads anyway )

[Greengoop]

So did you guys get hit worse or us?

[PluMGMK]

Honestly it wasn't that bad overall, so you're probably getting hit worse

[Greengoop]

Good thing it was only a snap tho

It's still around 30ºC here. We experienced a very heavy rain on Tuesday and, as Plum said, driving conditions were... Special . Despite that, it's still hot here and I don't think it's gonna change too much in 2/3 weeks.

You like the heat I take? It’s currently 20° here and sunny

Oh, what is an orange rainfall alert? Is that just the color of the alert or.....? I know I sound silly asking this but I'm curious.

[Greengoop]

Tbh I didn’t know about it as well. I just get the weather from my forecast app

Yes, it's the colour of the alert, not the rain! The system goes yellow, orange, red, in order of increasing severity. It's explained here: https://www.met.ie/weather-warnings

Orange rain would be hilarious tho

[PluMGMK]

I guess if you had a shower of rain in a neon-lit street it would look orange

The weather's been quite nice as of late, but it's very hot in my room at night. I've got a fan on so I don't know why. Maybe my room's just weird. I wish we could get a little more rain.

[Greengoop]

It was completely pouring today, like it flooded one of our school buildings

It’s now quite sunny outside thou

[PluMGMK]

Today's weather was very reasonable, we were able to go for a brisk walk without jackets!

(A little off-topic: I'm curious as to why you abbreviate "though" as "thou", which technically is an archaic second-person singular pronoun and pronounced differently. Wouldn't "tho" be even quicker and more natural? Or are there dialects where "tho" and "though" would not be pronounced the same? )

[Greengoop]

Nah it just depends on the mood I’m in when making a post

Its currently 14° but rather wind and the sky is rather dim, guess you can expect that from 6 in the morning

[DaveRattlehead]

There's a big thunderstorm tonight, but it's still hot... Hopefully it will stop before I drive to work
