Ya science does play a part. For example. If i have wind from the south and am in Texas then the warm, moist airfrom the gulf is goin to move into texas. now warm air is lighter and warm air rises. So as that air rises its going to bring moisture into the upper levels. When it gets to a certain height it will cool enought to become saturated becoming cool air and begin to produce a cloud. Now how far will that cloud move before it becomes big enough to create a thunderstorms and when that storm falls apart what wind speed will be caused by the rush of cooler air which is heavier air falling to the surface. The cooler air also increase stability which will help dampen more thunderstorms from developing. So ya its a pretty big part. I hate the weather channel by the way! They can say somewhere along the east coast it will rain today. But me i have certain sites to forecast for. So if i say there will be a strom at 5pm in this 20 square mile are they may have to cancel a mission that day or launch it early which would not give crews the amount of time they need to prep. So if the strom doesnt happen i look like an idiot and all the pilots are mad at me. Weather is very hard. The only job where you can be 110% wrong all the time and still get paid. lol

Well have already had a couple of 30+C days already, going to be 23-25C, next few days, but hitting the 29-30 by Tuesday. Isn't there supposed to be something between Winter & Summer, I think it used to be called Spring or something. Went out today & put some money down on an Air Con, getting installed on Thursday (Same day I'm in for a wisdom tooth removal) had one out last Thursday on the left side, ain't life a joy.
Anyway, I'm back to my old habits & started to do the old slow punt along the beach roads. I love the smell of sun screen in the morning.
