#80f and cloudy

[klaudia2646]

My mom’s friend, Mami, was able to put up with us while we’re here in NYC. She’s so nice.

Little Bit and I went to a laundromat as all her clothes were dirty. She didn’t want to do laundry in Santo Domingo. The laundromat was just several blocks away.

Last night Mami took us in her car to see all the city lights, it was so nice. This morning we went downtown by train, I’m not used to take trains and get overwhelmed easily but my sister told me exactly where to go which was not far from the house, just about 8 minutes walk. Then I had to figure out how to pay, I asked someone but he was not very helpful, some nice delivery guy who was there told me that I can use my bank card. We transferred trains and got to time square. We had lots of fun although it was raining at first.

Now we’re at the airport waiting, the plane leaves at 9pm. We paid for the suitcases from Santo Domingo and had to pay again today. Not right. Not my fault that the flight was cancelled, right? So many things that I can complain about. The other frustrating thing is that there are so many rude employees at LaGuardia airport, also at JFK.

The plane going to Memphis just got here so that’s good. We’ll be boarding in a little while.

The eclipse was fun, but 80f and 75 humidity

Also my neck hurts from looking pretty much straight up, currently cloudy and rain predicted

Super cool though

dope!

I got a pair of compression socks and my legs feel so much better. Been dealing with the post blood clot pains for the last few weeks because I haven't been able to be active with the dog being sick and the fact it's 80f and cloudy

[sevarix-blogs]

it's only 81f right now and cloudy. it feels incredible. i cannot under state how incredible this is. normally this time of year it is 110f with not a single cloud and doesn't get below 80f even at night. i took molly for a walk at 11am it was amazing. normally it would be so hot that her paws would burn on the pavement

the temperature dipped below 80F finally and its cloudy and rainy i feel alive again

Folks, it is approaching Summer here in the northern hemisphere.

That means it is Warm-to-Hot Temperatures season.

DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN OR ANIMALS IN YOUR CARS.

Even on a cloudy day with MILD ambient temperatures, the heat inside your GREENHOUSE OF A CAR can climb up above 100F / 37F in a VERY short period of time.

I, for one, ABSOLUTELY will bash out your car windows to rescue an infant, a dog, a gerbil, whatever you have stupidly locked into your car.

Oh, and for the record, in hot temperatures (above 80F / 26C) lowering just a window or two by just an inch (2-3cm)?

THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP THE INTERIOR COOL.

Every single damn year, children and pets die from heat stroke due to being locked inside cars.

So absolutely, those windows WILL get smashed open by a good samaritan.

(I do strongly suggest checking all the door handles first to see if the car is actually locked or not, of course.)

just had two wonderfully cloudy/rainy days but now we are back to 80F and sunny. NO !!!!!

[luce-goose]

After a week of 100+ degree(F) weather today it's cloudy and 80f out and I am THRIVING

[a-musing-mixologist]

It was 80F yesterday and sunny and now it's 64 and cloudy and tomorrow it's supposed to rain. Love the range of Cali weather... :/

i am a lying liar who lies i ended up filling it and setting up the filter and wavemaker

it’s cloudy as fuck cux of the sand so i’m gonna wait til it settles out before i do anything else. i only have the one heater and it’s in the QT bin rn, so i don’t wanna move it until im 100% certain the tank is ready for animals because i keep this system around 79-80f and ive been cranking the AC lately so ambient temps in my room are like 69-71 which is way too much of a temp drop than im comfortable subjecting my corals to after everything else that’s happened

the epoxy attaching the hardscape on the reef tank is officially cured but i’m too tired to do anything about it today 😭like i know it’ll look gorgeous once it’s set back up but i do nawwwwt want to deal with all that rn so the tank is just sitting on my bedroom floor now

my fatal flaw is that unless the sun is shining i cant do any work. not at my desk, not outside, nothing

This is a brand-new preset, requested by an anon, and I had quite a bit of nerdy fun making it. :)

First of all, for the non-Europeans out there: SaarLorLux is a euroregion, which is a European transnational cooperative that operates together in order to prioritize specific regional interests over national boundaries. Its name is a portmanteau of the areas that comprise it: Saarland (Germany), Lorraine (France), and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. There's a map here, if you have no clue where that area might be.

SaarLorLux is somewhat transitional between an oceanic-type climate and a more continental-type climate, but it's still mostly oceanic. This means that it has fairly steady temperatures within each season and is on the wetter side year-round. However, the variable elevation across the region does tend to push temperatures lower where the elevation is higher. The entire region is affected by currents in the Atlantic Ocean which, when intense, tend to push temperatures higher than average but also increase cloudiness and windiness, but there is also the occasional invasion of colder airmasses from more continental/eastern Europe, which can drop temperatures below average but also bring clearer skies and calmer winds. So, there is more variability than a strictly oceanic climate has, and I've tried to represent that in this preset.

In terms of this overall project, the challenge was to make this preset different from the one I made for the Champagne Region of France, which is geographically very close to this region, but still true to the SaarLorLux region as a whole, at least as far as it's possible to be within the game's constraints.

Details of this preset:

Before I get to this info, for nerds interested in how I came up with the stuff in this preset, there's info behind the cut at the end. The short version is that, because this preset is for a whole region rather than a single metropolitan area, I collected data on Saarbrücken in Saarland, Metz in Lorraine, and Wiltz in northern Luxembourg (which differ from each other in elevation) and then spreadsheeted it to get averages but fiddled with the temperature ranges a little. (And I'm going to do the same kind of spreadsheeting going forward because it really makes figuring out rain/snow/sun weighting easier and probably more accurate.) OK, now to the details...

Highest summer temperature: 80F/27C Lowest winter temperature: 24F/-4C

Overall Climate: Temperatures are fairly steady within each season and are generally mild. Nighttime temperatures year-round are chilly-to-cold, however. Even in the summer it can dip down to 42F/5C. There is a good amount of precipitation year-round, and it's fairly evenly distributed.

Snow: Snow is possible in autumn, winter, and spring when the temperature is 40F/4C or lower. Because of the temperature ranges for those seasons, it is not very likely at all in spring but fairly common in autumn and winter. However, daytime temperatures are such that any snow accumulations aren't likely to persist for long, if at all, especially not in autumn and spring.

Fog: From the reports I found online, it seems fog is fairly common in Luxembourg because of proximity to the Ardennes. It's also common in Saarbrücken, probably because it's on the Saar River, but I couldn't find many reports for the Lorraine region. The reports I did find were clustered in spring and autumn. So, I'm doing some guesswork here, but I set fog to be possible at temperatures between 35 and 55F/2 and 13C and fairly common in spring and autumn, less common in winter, and absent in summer. This is the general pattern for fog in non-coastal, non-mountainous temperate areas of the world, so it seems a good-enough guess.

Hail: I found one very anecdotal mention of hail in Luxembourg, but otherwise nothing else for SaarLorLux, so it's not included in this preset. (Locals should feel free to correct me, however, and I'll update the preset if necessary. That goes for fog, too. Online research can only go so far.)

Precipitation Frequency/Intensity: Snow has a required temperature of 40F/4C or lower, while rain has a required temperature of 30F/-1C or higher. Where their temperature ranges overlap, rain is twice as likely as snow in autumn and spring and 1.5x as likely in winter. The real region has lower-than-average amounts of sun overall and many days of precipitation in every season but with only moderate total accumulations. (Note: A "day of precipitation" in the meteorological sense is defined as at least 1mm of precipitation falling in a 24-hour period; it doesn't mean that it rained/snowed for even a large section of a day, much less all day.) This means more light/brief showers on average than prolonged/heavy storms. Translated to this preset, that means that for all but summer, rain and/or snow will be frequent but mostly of short duration with light-to-moderate intensity. In summer, the real region sees fewer rain days and has a dip in rainfall, so in the preset the duration of sun is set longer, which should produce longer breaks of clear sky vs. rain in summer. Rain duration is still short, but there is a chance of a heavy overall storm or a heavier section within a storm. In addition, because the only weather patterns available in summer are rain and sun, there's a higher chance that the game will choose the same pattern multiple times in a row than there is in other seasons, so there could be long storms or long stretches of clear sky.

Additional settings:

Fireplaces that are upgraded to auto-light will do so on active lots if the temperature falls below 50F/10C.

Any fallen leaves will be removed at the start of winter.

Insect spawners will not spawn in winter.

Here's how I came up with the figures used to create this preset. For the temperature ranges and precipitation amounts, I collected and plopped into Excel data from three cities/towns in the SaarLorLux region that have various elevations:

Metz in the Lorraine/Grand Est region of France at an elevation of 181m/594ft

Wiltz in northern Luxembourg at an elevation of 347m/1171ft

Saarbrücken in Saarland, Germany at an elevation of 224m/735ft

Then, Excel calculated overall regional average rain and snow amounts and average number of rain and snow days for each season across the years 2020, 2019, and 2018. I used those averages as the basis for setting the preset's weather patterns. (Incidentally, spreadsheeting data has given me a much better sense of how to weight rain/snow/sun in Tempest, so I'm going to do it all the time going forward...and now I feel a need to re-revise the settings I've already released...but I won't. I won't. I really, really won't. Do you hear that, me? :) )

For the temperature ranges for each season, the data is a 20-year average for each month, and I noted the lowest and highest temperature in each season from amongst the three cities. (Wiltz is coldest due to elevation and even though Saarbrücken is slightly higher in elevation, it is a bit warmer than Metz because it is farther inland.) I used these numbers for the "baseline" highest and lowest temperature for each season. Then, in an attempt to simulate the region's temperature variability brought about by variable ocean currents and occasional colder airmasses, I nudged those "baseline" temperatures down/up by 5 Fahrenheit degrees to create the lowest/highest possible temperatures in each season in the preset. This adjustment might make the in-game temperatures run a little higher/lower than strict realism would dictate, especially for a more specific part of the region, but it served to create some difference from the Champagne preset.

Overall, because of the temperature "nudging" and the averaging of the precipitation amounts, the preset might produce more or less rain/snow than a specific area of the real region generally sees, but I ended up with what I felt was a good representation of the region as a whole, which is harder to represent than a single metropolitan area.

For any extra-nerdy, statistics-fan kind of folks out there, I uploaded the spreadsheet with the data I used to create this preset here. I mostly did that so that I have a cloud backup of the structure, but then I thought maybe someone else would like to see it and maybe use it to help make their own Tempest presets. It's an Excel spreadsheet in .xlsx format, so if you want to look at it, you'll need a spreadsheet program that will open those.
