I live in Alaska so that about sums it up. The leaves are starting to turn on the bike trail and you can tell Fall is here NOW. Waiting for "termination dust" First snow on the tops of the mountains, termination of summer. It'll be there w/in 3 weeks proably. SUMMER ROCKS!! ! 70's no humidity, and light almost all night. Came to see the Aurora and just fell in love w/ the beauty, the
laid -back people (and not millions and millions of them) everything. Have lived all over and just can't take the heat. I LOVE it here. Plus we all get a PFD. :D

Blistering Sol in summer; cool in winter.

I don't mind it at all, not that I've known any different.

I live in London.

Considering London has the same latitude as Canada, the weather isn't to bad. This is despite the bad summer with have had this year.

Moderate.

This summer was awful however, it was rainy and cold all the time and there were only few hot days. The weather often changed quickly, from one day to the other, here in 2007. I wish we had a cold and snowy winter already, I could wear my favourite scarf again.

Temperatures usually don't go past 30/35°C in summer and not below -10°C in winter. It is rather boring, but there is an advantage. You can wear the same set clothes during the whole year.

A PFD is a Permanant Fund Dividend. Not sure if this is exact but it goes something like this. All those oil companies up in Prudo Bay,and the pipeline, LEASE the land from the state of Alaska. Then the state takes a big chunk of all that money and it's put into the Permanant Fund. That Fund is invested in I don't know, mutual funds, hog-bellies..whatever, something, I really don't know. But every Man, Woman, and Child in the state is considered a "Stockholder" and in Oct. You get a nice little check for living here. There are rules, you have to RESIDE here (and yes, they check) and you have to intend on staying. If you mess with them you can never recieve it again. The first year I got one it was $1963.00 the largest one so far. It lags a couple years behind the stock market I think, so then it went way down. $8-900.00ish after the War started. Last year I think it was around $1100.00, this year projected around $1500.00. If you live in the Bush (off the road system)it's a big help,heating oil, food also for familys w/ children you can get a house down payment together, buy a decent car, christmas presents, they also have it to where you can save the ones for your kids for their college funds, whatever. It comes at the beginning of winter so it's really nice. New studded tires, remote start, block heaters, Internet service, stuff your gonna need to get thru the hibernation of winter.

Hot and humid. Lately we've been getting some rain and t-storms. Sunny mostly. It'll get cooler in the winter near Thanksgiving in November.
