used to be that libya had the hottest recorded temperature at 58C.. but that was a while ago.

It still is the case, though its validity is questioned.

I guess Cumulus Ten.

read it once, it stuck.
also somewhere in south america has epic thunderstorms for a lot of the year, producing lots of ozone
which is nice.. from QI " in the mouth of the Catatumbo River in Venezuela. Lightning strikes for 10 hours a day (up to 280 times an hour) for 180 days of the year. It is believed to be the world's greatest source of ozone. So much is released that it helps repair the ozone layer."

Nimbus!

In south of texas it is 96 degrees... the sun's burning hot! I have been sitting in the A/C though so no probs else I get all wet in my sweat the moment I go out

Yes, it kinda stinks. I remember hearing the news this morning and hearing 114, but for some reason I didn't care. Maybe it's because I stay inside until it's dark, but my body is used to living in the desert. (that being said, I cannot WAIT to move to a different state where it may rain someday).

My favorite cloud type? The one that brings rain of course.

Chrissy come to Washington though if you want a state that always rains dont come here.

If only, I'm moving to Idaho in a few months to start college, hopefully it will be better there.

It is currently in the -60s (celsius) at Vostok, Antarctica...and that's not accounting for windchill!

You going to the famous blue turf?

Had to look that up, but no. I am going to BYU-Idaho.

Are you Mormon?

Yup. Have been my whole life. What are you? Atheist? Agnostic?

Back on topic: my favourite kind of clouds are those thick, heavy-looking ones that are dark grey, that mean it's going to rain, or those thin, pretty, streaky, wispy ones that make a sunset look even prettier. Sorry I don't know their technical names. And, yes: I know clouds are neither "thick" nor "thin" but they look that way.

shame our country is boring weatherwise compared to the rest of the world, a_w!

More of a spiritualist. I believe in the supernatural and if there has to be a god for that to exist then there is a god.
