Thanks for making my misery even worse!

Just kidding. We shall be at those warm temperatures in June and July. And what we lack in temperatures we gain in long duration of daylight. Close to Arctic Circle, It's light 24 hours a day on the June Solstice.

Currently the sun rises at 5.50 am and sets after 9 pm, so it's over 15 hours of daylight. And the duration of day gets longer at a rate of over 5 minutes a day...

And again, the only place in the U.S.A. to have a taste of the same (white night during summer) would be in Alaska. That's only due to latitudinal location.

It's been a lovely, sunny weekend here in Northern Germany.
We currently have sunshine and about 17 °C (62 °F) at 06:45 PM.

I'd say spring is in full blow here already.

Just wait ...when your temperatures are nice, mine will be between 100-110F. Then I'll be the envious one! lol ...sob

Just wanted to rant a little:

Sunrise at 8:30 am, sunset at 4:00 pm. (Day will get shorter every day until 21th December.)

5 day weather forecast: Dreary and/or Cloudy every day (and has been for over a week now. The only way to remember what Sun looks like is to watch FTVGirls updates!)

Daily highs around 30-35 degrees Fahrenheit
Daily lows around 20-25 degrees Fahrenheit

And it will only be downhill from here to freezing cold January and February. I can't hardly wait for the spring to come. Well, It shall only take some 5 months to get the temperatures back up to 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit in April. Damn how I hate this Northern climate!

20-35 Fahrenheit, that's -6 to +2 Celsius, brrrrrr, that's cold. Where do you live FTVfanatic? Near the arctic circle? lol. It's cold and rainy right now here where I live (Northern part of Bavaria / Germany) but I assume our winters aren't as cold and dark as yours. And because I don't like that climate just like you I will fly away to a warmer place in a few weeks. At least for a few days to heat me up, lol.
Keep your feet warm FTVfanatic!

Lima, with is location in the middle of the tropics and a cold sea stream in the sea by the side, has some crazy weather: yesterday it was sunny and 18 - 21º C nearly all day; right now (7:30 am) it is cloudy, cool but the clouds look luminous. Last thursday it was raining in the early morning, had cleared up a bit by 9 and had full sun on (20 -23ºC) from noon to 4ish. By sunset (2 1/2 hours later), it was windy and dry. The forecasters are nearly useless here; it is supposed to be mid-spring but we can as well get all four seasons in the same day. LOL.

Sounds interesting. You are talking about Lima (capital of Peru), right? It's in South America. (I admit, I had to google Lima)

I have never been anywhere close there. Would be interesting to visit South America for the culture, people and climate.

Its chilly, but not so bad (61F right now). Its gotten below freezing at nights the past few weeks, and increasingly the skies are grey & cloudy (like today), and I am surprised we haven't had more than just 1 evening of wet snow that didn't stick here in the valley (the Sierra Nevada, the peaks here at least, look like their name says they should though: snow-capped).

OK. Got yourself a guide around Lima. No, don't smile yet, I charge expensive.

I live in Finland.

The Arctic Circle actually passes through Northern Finland, and that's only funny if you happen to like Arctic climate. I don't. Luckily I'm in the South Finland some 550 kilometres (or 350 miles) to the south from Arctic Circle. It doesn't help much, but I can always remind myself that things could be worse; I could actually live right on the Arctic Circle. That would be a total worst case scenario.
