So I'm back in US after two extra hours spent in Toronto due to storm delays. Poland was beautiful as this is the time of year when everything is blooming (I went from lilacs and lily of the valley through the whole azalea and rhododendron blooming season all the way to pseudoacacia) and the weather was behaving perfectly. I got new visa. I met family. I replanted plants. And I (traditionally) got sick. I was too busy to write. Now I'm hiding from the heat as I came back straight into 35C (95F) and above weather (it's supposed to be 37 (99F) for the next 4 days straight). I resent the thought of going outside. I thought the 29-31C (84-89F) weather I was leaving in Poland was bad enough.

Also back - Philae lander. It just contacted Rosetta and the mission control. After 7 months of hibernation due to cold and lack of sunlight it's awake again. Just in time for the summer. It's just like a bear. Everyone's excited. It's been trending on twitter and xkcd has updated the Landing strip.

I would switch in an instant - forecast for next 10 days is basically nothing but 36C (96F).

It is cold here. ugh. (I tried to post from my phone this afternoon and failed)

iirc, the conversion was 11 degrees c this morning (52 f)

That sound's perfect. I don't mind cool mornings (they were even colder half of my stay in Poland). Cool night is the one thing that can make hot days bearable. I'll be so much happier if temperature here would fall below 20C (70F) at night. But I hope you get your dose of warmth soon.
