I think Americans are more well versed with weather terms because our weather can be so crazy that our local meteorologist has to give a mini course on the nightly news to explain what's happening 🤪

[@brynnkohler4084]

And it's all standardized as to how it's displayed on TV as well as described/presented on radio or online -- in Europe, each nation/culture does weather in different languages and "styles" (for example in southern Europe, the weather 'girls' are usually flirty and wear skimpier clothing).

[@LeighG137]

It is literally my favorite thing when the meteorologists start explaining the radar mid-tornado. "See this? That's a debris signature." ohhhhh. "See this softball-size hail? Let's look at a cross-section of the upper atmosphere." ...and it all makes sense.

[@robert4657]

When I was younger and living in Tennessee U.S, we had an ice storm one year. Temp was around 35 F. And it started by pouring rain then turned to ice. It lasted for about 24 hours. When it stopped in 3 inches of solid ice. Trees falling over everywhere even the power lines fell due to the weight. Then the temp dropped following days to below freezing. That ice lasted for about 8 days before it completely melted. It took 2 weeks for the power to come back on. It was miserable but at the same time it was the most beautiful sight you can imagine. It looked like a real life vision of the movie Frozen.

South Texas here, it's 94 here with a heat index of 105. And I'm in the projected path of the hurricane. A dry heat is manageable as your sweat dries and cools you. A humid heat feels like you've got a 100 degree wet blanket on.

Rain, snow, sleet, hail, etc. The worst weather? I couldn’t open the door to leave because of how much snow had it off blocked. Could not see a single thing even when I pried it open a bit. It was taller than me. And we had flood days at school. 2 days off, 2 half days. 9+ inches of rain, dams burst, city almost devastated. It trapped people in their cars, ripped apart roads and washed away train tracks. The aftereffects lasted several months before people started seeing true progress.

[@bluflaam777]

San Diego's worst weather is always much better than anywhere else in the US. It can get stormy here, but it's always worse somewhere else. As they say, "it don't rain in california, but girl don't they warn ya', when it pours...man it pours." The tropical storms/hurricanes coming thru' the gulf atm is bringing warm humid air into SD. Warm humid breezes from the east which is unusual for here. When there's a breeze from the east it is coming from the desert usually and very dry (Santa Ana, aka devil winds). Those can be dangerous. Otherwise, it is on average 68* (20*C) and sunny. Nowhere in the US is the weather this mild and consistent.

[@rickmiller4842]

The only mention of the location was the edit San Diego. I need context! (I'm from So Cal, with a few stops around the U.S.). Just a curiosity question.

[@misslora3896]

I'm San Diego too, inland @ the far east end of Spring Valley. Last few days have been in the 90's out here. I've definitely noticed in the last 4 yrs being back in SD that the humidity and dew point (62 & above is when you really start to feel the humidity) is MUCH higher than it's ever been. I grew up here in the 70's and 80's (National City) and have been back throughout my adult life and it's never been like this. It's been happening almost everywhere though. I spent a total of 7 yrs living in San Antonio off and on between 08' and 2019... It used to be pretty humid early in the day, but both the humidity and dew point would begin dropping substantially around noon making the hottest part of the day much more tolerable. But my last 2 summers there in 18' & 19' the humidity was markedly higher, but worse... the dew point was up 10 to 20 points above average, making it feel SO much worse, and it would barely drop, if at all during the day anymore. Nearly every single day was high 90's/low 100's, with a dew point "feels like" temp of 108 to 115... Just absolutely miserable. According to my friends, it's been like that ever since. Every time I think it's getting uncomfortably hot here, I just remember how that felt and then it seems down right pleasant in comparison.

You already have 34 comments in the first 18 minutes this video is up. That should tell you that Americans love talking about the weather, wherever they live, whether they love it or hate it. And I'll post my experiences in a different post. But the weather in the U.S. is another thing that defines different states and regions from each other. It's one of the things that gives every area a different experience. That's one of the reasons why you can't just lump ALL of America into one category.

I was born and raised in Niagara Falls, NY. Twice, up until I moved my family from Western New York to the San Francisco Bay area in 1963, early thaws caused the ice on Lake Erie (the shallowest of the Great Lakes) to break up and send copious amounts of ice cascading over Niagara Falls. The ice formed a glacier-like flow and was solidly flowing all the way to Lake Ontario, wiping out docks and boat houses all along the way. Air Force dropped a couple of 500 lb bombs in an effort to break up the flow. The bombs were just absorbed and had no effect. I remember standing at the foot of the main street in Lewiston, NY and looking UP at the glacier-like flow. It was really incredible.

5:20 Oversimplified: The entire west coast of the U.S., hell the entire west coast of the western hemisphere, is a tectonic plate boundary. The Pacific Plate is subducting underneath the North American plate. This pushes up mountains, the Cascades, the Sierra Nevada. It's why there are volcanoes all along the coast. This is where earthquakes come from, the plates moving against each other. Volcanoes enrich soils and is why the central valley is so fertile. Between the good soil and mild weather plus rain explains Redwoods but also the wine region of northern California.

When moisture from the air gathers on a cold surface, that is called condensation. When moisture in the air cools enough gather and fall out of the air, that is called precipitation (rain, hail or snow). If you dove into a cloud, your body will collide with droplets or snowflakes that are small/light enough to be suspended by air. Water or ice can begin to gather on you as you contact more and more moisture depending on temperature.

I was standing in the street a block from home and a man came out of his house and yelled at me, “Get the hell off of my car!” I had no idea I was standing on the roof of his car.

One year we had 3 significant storms within 2 weeks. I think it totalled about 13 feet of snow. They essentially closed the county down for 2 weeks. The banks on the side of the roads were taller than our snow plows, which I think were about 15 feet tall. I was a kid, so I'm not sure of the height, but they were big. The government did have some huge snowblowers that could blow the snow on the roads to about 25 foot tall banks. But it took a while to clear the main roads. On the side roads, they just packed the snow down. I think we had to use tire chains almost the whole winter. We used the snowmobile a lot for transportation and to check on neighbors. I remember that there were still some patches of snow on the 4th of July. I should be clear that this area is notorious for snowfall -- we regularly got more than just about anywhere in the US. This was a lot, even for us.

I was hauling ice cream out to Washington on I-94 in winter and it was so cold my refrigerated trailer was in heating mode to keep the ice cream warm. Ice cream ships at -20F, North Dakota was at -40F with a wind chill of -60.

Our Gulf is like bath water. Today it’s 86 degrees

I live on the Pacific coast, near San Francisco. If you don't wear a wetsuit, you'll get hypothermia. I can't even fathom warm ocean water.

Live in South Carolina, we have Summer and Fall for seasons, and sometimes fall forgets to come and you'll see flowers still blooming and trees still holding their leaves in December and January. Then in February and March the weather seems to go "Oh $_#&, we forgot to do fall and it's almost time for Summer again. let's do fall in a hurry." Then by April we are back to Summer.

I thought 4 feet of snow was hard to shovel without a snowblower.
