Midwinter in Paraguay, South America. Right now 19C (00:17), expected high: 32C.
Don't ask me about summer in January or February...

I'm not too sure what to really say in this thread, but
https://radar.weather.gov/lite/
Has some really nice and easily accessible doppler radar readings in gif form, for the USA.

Got it from this video.

I won't, is that normal for your Winter ?

Your Forecasted Temp is about the same as it is where I am now in Summer, and officially we are in a Heat Wave.

Yeah, it is. I remember a long time ago... our TV forecaster was a real meteorology man, very knowledgeable. We were in August ("in the bleak midwinter..." of the Southern Hemisphere) and the forecasted low was 20C and the high was (gasp!) 38C. The guy said something like this: "I was going to say that we're going to see temperatures way above the normal for this time of year but then I checked out the statistics for a year ago and on this day the high was 39C so I'll just say they're par for the course..."

Now, on a more serious note: we are a landlocked country with Continental climate. This means that we can experience sudden variations in temperature. Winter here is usually mild; an average winter day would be something like 12C to 20C. Sometimes we have cold days, with lows on 04C and highs of 16C, and also several hot days just like the ones we're experiencing now.

Summer is *always* hot and very difficult to bear without good AC equipment. A typical day would be 30C-39C. Winter is mild and nice, though.

Check the forecast: https://weather.com/weather/today/l/...97eb9e61eade10

Don't be scared. Paraguay is a nice little country, very hospitable.

P.S.: your location says U.S. -- where specifically do you live?

New Hampshire, almost directly north of you.

But yes, Paraguay always seemed like a nice place to visit. I new it would be a bit warmer, but not like that

Ground shakes here about once a month < fraking quakes >

Heat this summer feels like a bad spot in the universe < built a huge car port in front of shop >

No hurricanes this year. No Tornado's locally. But we get windy from time to time.
Dry year this summer. < I don't water my lawn >

Still a happy camper though. My summer is coming < Winter for any of you north of me >. My lawn should get watered by mother nature by then.

Everybody is screeching about climate change - a fancy term for - seasons. I may have pissed off St. Greta of Thunberg, and I don't care

-edit

Also here it is nice and cloudy and rainy.

Here it is either raining or it's not raining. Right now it looks like it wants to rain.
