    Chris, you need to get out more.

    since i work only weekends and get all week off i think i get out a
    little too much.

    
    Chris, you need to stay in more.
    

Newcastle's a good place to go for anyone wanting to experience
wind chill.  It's the only place in this country where you can
be bloody freezing and still get sunburn (on the odd occasion when
it's not raining, that is.  How I miss the place!  (Really.))

Chris.

    But when I stay in I start to have weird thoughts and I start painting
    furniture and sticking paper on places where by rights no paper should
    be stuck.
    
    I probaly need a house and a dog and a wife and a child and a garage
    and a garden and clonial style furniture and a regular garbage day and
    a car and you know, reasons to live and all that cal.
    

    	Wind chill is still there in the summer.  It's just that it's
    	tolerable, so it's not worth discussing.

    at what speed does the wind stop chilling, and start heating...

Depends.  Wind chill is a misnomer.

    >>> and a garden and clonial style furniture and a regular garbage day
    			 ^^^^^^^
    
    Is this the style where all the pieces look the same?
    
    

    Sounds like an ol protest song. Where have all the young men gone. Long
    time passing.;)
    

    Where dose the wind chill go in summer?  I know where it went in May of 94 -- 
    it followed me from Heathrow airport to Devon, to Wales, to the Lake
    District.  Thank goodness for Coniston Mill wollies and credit cards.

    Wind chill factors are seasonal in nature.  As of March 21st or
    thereabouts, it is replaced with the in the shade factor.  You will
    hear about it being 90 degrees (F) in the shade as a true indication of 
    the outside temperature.  The in the shade factor is replaced again on
    September 21st or thereabouts in favor of the wind chill factor.

    I suspect the dew point is more relevant in summer as well, since it
    includes both temperature and humidity.

    Is the glass half full or half empty, is it partly cloudy or partly
    sunny? I love those euphemisms, like a tornado in NH is called a 
    microburst or a downdraft, unless a funnel is clearly seen and or
    photographed. 
    
    I would SWAG that air friction heating doesn't occur until the air
    velocity is approaching supersonic, and that doesn't happen in nature,
    at least on this planet. Maybe Venus or Jupiter, but not on this third
    stone from the sun, and the propagation velocity of sound would be 
    different under the circumstances on those planets, with the Venusian
    CO2 atmosphere being around 900 degrees F, and at a pressure approximately
    90 times that here on earth, at around 1300 PSI. 
    

    It's summer, there ain't no wind chill in summertime.  8^)

you obviously haven't visited Northumbria, then!  :)

Chris.

    
    >  What happens to the wind chill factor in the summer.
    
    Depends if you are dry or not.  There comes a point at which it's too
    warm to wear a wet suit when boardsailing so I switch to t-shirt &
    shorts. Then the wind cools by evaporative cooling and it can get pretty
    nippy out there even on a warm day.

There's windchill on the top of Mt. Washington in the summertime.

    >There's windchill on the top of Mt. Washington in the summertime.
    
    Yep. Colder than my ex's heart!:)

    Which is more cloudy, partly sunny or partly cloudy??
    
    
    ...Tom

    Partly sunny is cloudier than partly cloudy.  Weatherpersons use
    "partly" to indicate some, but not as much as half.

    That makes sense Dick, except they use the same picture on The Weather
    Channel. Actually I figured if it made sense the answer would be the
    opposite!!  :)

    It was 110 degrees in the shade today here in Phoenix.  By the 5:30
    ride home it was down to 107.  Rolling down the car window at 60+ MPH
    produced "convection heating" instead wind chill.
    
    The all day rooftop parking spot at airport was very interesting
    today.
    
    regards,
    
    
    Joe H.
    
    
    P.S.  I was more comfortable in today's 110 F than I was a week and a
    half ago in New York where it was 83 F and raining.  The humidity was
    unbearable...               

    ...and then there's the "But it's a dry heat." thing.  

    And of course,,,,, some of you who might remember the hippy dippy
    weatherman of George Carlin(sp)
    
    Dark this evening
    continued dark till sunrise
    sun will stay in the sky till it sets in the evening tomorrow
    
    

There's a 100% chance of weather tomorrow.

  Re Phoenix a couple notes back..I lived in Phoenix for a year and loved
 it, heat and all..except for the time I had to change a flat tire on I-17
 when it was 114 degrees.

    I stayed at the Pointe at South Mountain in Phoenix for a week.  Twas
    lovely.

 Ah, the Pointe.  I spent a week at the Pointe Tapatio (sp?).  I'd move back
 to Phoenix given the opportunity.

    I live in Phoenix too and it didn't seem that hot to me.  Maybe I
    should check a thermometer.
