    What's the weather by you?

    It's June, and should be warm and sunny here in NJ. It's not. I honestly feel like we've been living in Seattle type weather the last 2 months - a lot of rain in the spring - but here it's summer and has been, lol! It's been sunny one day, wet/damp the next, then rain, then more damp days, then partially sunny with a couple showers. I'm really wanting my summer here! It's a struggle for me apparently.

    What's the weather by you?
    What is your happiest weather?
    Do you have a memory associated with a certain weather event?

    The weather forecast lately has been cold, almost constant rain, thunder and lightning. In reality, yes it's been cold and a bit rainy but not a thunder clap or lightning strike anywhere near me. Pretty sure the meteorologists have gone to the extreme of over forecasting the weather after there was major flooding & natural disasters over two separate weekends within a month or so a few years back. It became a bit of a political issue after that with civil defence emergency not being put in place quick enough and text alerts not going out at all or in a timely manner

    What is your happiest weather?

    Sunny or cloudy around 60-70F (15-21C) during the day and about 46-53F (8-12C) at night.

    What's the weather by you? Woke up to rain this morning but that has stopped. Temps are in the 70's. 80's are predicted for later this week.
    What is your happiest weather? 70's and above, preferably sunny.
    Do you have a memory associated with a certain weather event? Too many to mention. From ice storms to blizzards to tornados, there are memories from all of them.

    What's the weather by you? 89, feels like 99, super sunny (UV index of 11) and 64% humidity. My poor AC and dehumidifier are already complaining so I think they may both try to quit on me by August
    What is your happiest weather? That week or so of cool weather that passes for Florida winter. I love sunny, cool days when I can stand to be outside with my camera
    Do you have a memory associated with a certain weather event? I have a lot of hurricane stories. I once chased a tornado across Key West a few days before my wedding (so I could text photos to our best man, who was still driving down). My mom remembers when it snowed in Miami when she was in high school.

    We are hovering right around 80 every day, but we've had rain almost every day :/

    What is your happiest weather?
    Sunny and around 80 works for me! It's warm enough to do all the things outside, but not too hot.

    Do you have a memory associated with a certain weather event?
    I would say that most of my big memories associated with weather are probably blizzards..not good memories, but memories. We have a few flooding stories as well, and in 2012 we had a derecho that took out a huge oak tree between us and the neighbors. It landed perfectly between our two houses.

    We are in the midst of a short heat wave - 31c or 88f for the next few days, then it will get back to more seasonable weather.
    I Like it best when its about 22-28 with low humidity.

    Most of my big weather memories revolve around really cold winter snaps and blizzards.

    Funny you mention Seattle, cause it's been SO warm & sunny there! I'm in Eastern WA- about 300 miles from Seattle, but we've been really warm too- today was 93°. My mom said Seattle was 85° yesterday & in the high 80's today. Our next week cools down a bit but still in the high 70's (which I think is perfect!) My only weather memory is that I wanted & wished for snow on my birthday (December 1st) when I was 12 and the rain turned to snow for just a few minutes! It seemed like a birthday miracle since my hometown doesnt get much snow until jan/feb usually! lol

    Sounds like we have the same weather as you do. Definitley a cold spring around here, but not tons of rain, just overcast... plus a side of smoke from Canada for the last week or so. Blah! I'm ready for a little more heat and sunshine!

    It’s really hot here for June. It feels more like July.

    What is your happiest weather?
    Snow when I have nowhere to go.

    Do you have a memory associated with a certain weather event?
    When I was in elementary school I would call “time and temperature” and if it was 50F my mom would let me wear shorts which I loved.

    Similar weather to you Jenn.

    I had a huge 60+ year old tree uproot and topple over a 10 days ago ... over-saturated ground + some gusty winds. Thankfully it "only" took out two other trees and some fencing ... no people, buildings, or cars.

    Weather up here in Northern BC has been a bit on the warm side...which would be amazing, but the wind has been crazy as well!! I just want it to settle down a bit so I can enjoy the warm weather on my paddle board without worried about being swept across the lake!!

    We are finally getting warm weather here, but still rain every couple of days. It's been a wet spring!
    My happiest weather would be "sunny and 75" like the song says. I'd take that 24/7 except that I do enjoy a good loud thunderstorm!
    I've got a few weather stories, mostly snow related, but the biggy was the 1966 Topeka KS tornado. I had graduated high school a week before and the gathering spot for graduation was totally gone! Getting home that night was an experience with chaos and destruction all around.

    What's the weather by you? It's Winter, which could be cold (<12C/ 53F) or mild/warmish (>18C/64F) We have COLD fronts rolling through that bring rain and snow on to the surrounding mountains, and then we have bright blue skies and sunshine that never really warms the houses.
    What is your happiest weather? Neither too hot, nor too cold. So sunshiny winter days.
    Do you have a memory associated with a certain weather event? Not really. I can moan about any kinds of weather.
