Guest lurkerspeaks Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 It is currently 59 at my hometown of Phoenix with rain predicted.. Do you ever dream of vacationing at some of the exotic locales people post about here, but wonder what the weather is like there? Thanks to my Iphone app, I can instantly know the weather at those "favorite places".. Montreal is 50 and cloudy Rio de Janeiro is 75 and cloudy Prague is 41 and sunny Bangkok is 82 and overcast Barcelona is 64 and also overcast Quote
Members RA1 Posted November 13, 2011 Members Posted November 13, 2011 Weather is a constant source of interest for a pilot. What it is where you are and what it is where you are going (and in between) is something we study each and every day. The first thing I look at when I get up is the US radar return. After that, I get into specifics, especially if I am flying that day or the weather is "threatening" where ever I happen to be at that moment. Other than that, I periodically check on the weather where some of my friends live such as NZ, which is on a completely different seasonal cycle, mever mind having "different" weather. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted November 13, 2011 Members Posted November 13, 2011 Bangkok is 82 and overcast Wow!! Bangkok seems sort of habitable. How long does this window of survivability last? Prague a bit chilly but nothing that can be mitigated by a warm body. Quote
Members Lucky Posted November 13, 2011 Members Posted November 13, 2011 Wow!! Bangkok seems sort of habitable. How long does this window of survivability last? Prague a bit chilly but nothing that can be mitigated by a warm body. Don't forget that Bangkok is having a little water problem, bringing uncollected trash, mosquitoes, and other inconveniences.

Members ihpguy Posted November 13, 2011 Members Posted November 13, 2011 Very overcast and a bit chilly in Samba City. Quote
Members eeyore Posted November 13, 2011 Members Posted November 13, 2011 59 and sunny in Burlington, Vermont, that steamy hotbed of male erotica. Quote
Guest FourAces Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I have always been fascinated by weather. Herein Dallas we seem to go from one extreme to another. It can be a high of 80 today and tomorrow its not uncommon to drop 20 or more degrees. When I lived in Miami the weather was fairly predictable based on the season. In Southern California the weather was pretty constant which became a bit boring at times lol. Quote
