I notice that a number of people who come here to complete a daily challenge, like to report on the weather in their part of the world. In that spirit, I'll let you know that here in the Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand's northernmost city), it is cold and decidedly damp. We in the North are currently being asked to conserve electricity after a power pylon collapsed yesterday and cut off the energy supply to the Northland region. Fortunately for me, the power was restored after a two-hour blackout, though we're told that things are not good as the transmission company tries to install a temporary fix. There are some communities that have been without power for long periods of time. Having gone past the shortest day, we can only hope for a brighter future: figuratively and literally. Reply #36541.

It's nice to have a cool day in Singapore. Weather has been hot for many months. Reply #36542. Jun 20 24, 8:05 PM |

Keeping with the weather theme: here we are on June 20 in the State of Ohio, USA; western hemisphere, latitude 40 deg - 21' - 55" N -- experiencing the first authentic heat wave of the year. It's been over 90 degrees F and humid for the last four days, and the heat is forecast to continue into next week. Rollicking thunderstorms in the evenings complete this pattern, which is very typical of our summers, can happen multiple times in a given season, but which has not occurred this year until now. I'm waiting for fall, which is my favorite season (on average) in these parts. Reply #36543. Jun 20 24, 8:32 PM |

It will be interesting to see who gets to the final of the T20 World cup of cricket in the USA/Carribean . My guess would be India and England! Reply #36546. Jun 21 24, 4:58 AM |

My inlaws just got home from Ruidoso, NM where they were witness to the most damaging wildfires in the history of New Mexico. I'm relieved that they were able to make it home safely. Reply #36547. Jun 21 24, 5:15 AM |

I've just noticed ('cos I'm a bit slow)... that the UK's General Election is on 4th July, which I think the US is celebrating for some reason - and the US's Presidential Election is on 5th November, which the UK will be celebrating for some other reason. So which bright sparks on both sides of the Atlantic thought of picking those dates, eh? Reply #36549. Jun 21 24, 7:26 AM |

It's 90 degrees here down the Jersey Shore. Our grandchildren came here to swim in the Atlantic. Of course, they brought their dogs. So the kids are cooling off in the ocean while grandma and grandpa are walking their dogs in the sweltering heat. What's wrong with this picture? Reply #36551. Jun 21 24, 11:31 AM |

With reference to flopsy's self-perceived slowness... My mama told me never to question the speed of a bunny with a pointy stick (at least, not in public). Reply #36552. Jun 21 24, 11:36 AM |

Will be difficult for England to progress in the T20 cricket as S Africa beat them today . Should win the next game on Sunday against USA but may not be enough . Reply #36554. Jun 21 24, 3:29 PM |

posted on the wrong thread. Here goes again. My 6 year old granddaughter tricked me. She drew a dragon and a shark. She asked which will win. I said shark. She said hold on. She drew another picture showing the dragon biting the shark and said you lose. The dragon won. Reply #36555. Jun 21 24, 7:45 PM |

90+ 5 days in a row in June. Hot, hot, hot. I feel bad for the folks in the south who do this 5 months in a row. Reply #36557. Jun 21 24, 9:53 PM |

We have a window seat for one of our cats; it stays up with suction cups. No matter what model we have, once in a blue moon, it will fall. Yet the cat always returns! He must really like it up there. Reply #36558. Jun 22 24, 12:37 AM |
