If you open up your windows, you'll get a really nice breeze. The temperature of the wind is just right today.

Agreed. Maybe too much info, but the wife and I are hanging around in the buff with the windows open.

It's a nice day.

I think anyone who's been here a while will prefer this "gloomy" weather over the "nice, sunny weather" any day.

My wife and I are enjoying today's weather. Yesterday just sucked.

The rainy season is ending and the 'real' summer is about to begin. Yesterday is just a sample of what we're in for. I was down in Jinhae this weekend. I broke a sweat just blinking my eyes. One of the worst days I can remember.

We'll have about 6 weeks of weather when you'll never be fully dry. Paper will be soggy. The sheets on your bed will be clammy.

Salvation is spelled a-i-r c-o-n.

Maybe it was ok in Seoul, but except for about 5 minutes when a quick thunderstorm lowered the humidity, it was HHH all the way today.

(For those of you who don't know, HHH means Hazy, Hot and Humid.)

Gosh, that's terrible. I was feeling ashamed of myself for being a wimp and staying in the aircon out of the heat and rain- but it is actually life threatening! Those poor people.

You have never been to South Africa? Best weather in the world, after Newfoundland.

"Scores of other climbers have been struck by lightning in the same area in the past."

Maybe, just maybe it's not a great idea to go climbing in a thunderstorm Shocked

Man, these thunderstorms are nothing compared to the ones I've seen in South Africa and Newfoundland, let's get real lest I post pics of real storms, my "friend".

Um, Jajadude , are you really like that, or are you teasing? like that skit on Saturday night live with the girl who one-ups everyone on everything?
6 people died in that storm and others are seriously injured. Are they really that ferocious in SA and NF? Do people die frequently there? Gosh, then they are fierce.

No, sorry, I am just saying that South Africa and Newfoundland have better thunderstorms, and it is true. Sorry for being truthful, but that is what occurs when one is full of truth.

Truthful.

yes

I prefer sunny, blue-sky days over days where the skies are gray all day.

This morning I woke up super-cheery, and I looked outside and understood why....(semi)blue skies.. Smile
