Erratic weather of Texas...


A post dedicated to this great phenomenon was long awaited. But it could not have come at a better time. It's the spring season here and unbelievably, on the same day, sometimes, we have to flick the swith of the central temperature control device to either the left or the right - heater or AC. Don't believe me? See the snapshot...I took it on Feb 27, 2009. The difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures is almost 50 deg. Fahrenheit (around 28 deg. celcius).

Man, it's just too much...2 days ago, it was quite hot at bedtime, so I switched on the AC and by morning I was shivering and had to rush in the hallway to switch on the heater because outside the temperature had dropped by almost 45 deg. Fahrenheit! 

Has anyone in India ever experienced this...Temperature reaching 35-40 deg Celcius during the day and dropping to 7-12 Celcius during the night?

Moreover, you can never tell when it's gonna rain here...It can pour anytime during the year.

There's a saying here "If you think you know today's weather in Texas, just wait for another 5 minutes and see if that holds true"...

Guess this ain't limited to Texas alone..A few days back it was 8 deg C and 36 dec C within a span of 12 hours in Pune.
Officially Feb was the warmest in a 100 years here.

Hmm...That's strange. Never heard about it when I was in India though...

Btw it hailed non stop for 2 hours in Pune on 13th March in the midst of the scorching summer. Incidentally the temperature an hour before the hailstorm was around 37deg C
