An Interesting article concerning the extreme weather in 2010
Practically the extreme hot weather and drought was global this year, unfortunately they say that the danger of a climate change is no longer tomorrow's problem because its already here today,just look its almost impossible to walk outside in the sun between 8:30am and 5:00pm , the brightness and heat of the sun is unbearable, the temperature reached 34c at 1:00am yesterday yes that's after midnight and we're supposed to be in the fall now, which doesn't exist anymore...
we'll have 2 seasons only from now on 1 extreme summer, and I guess the winter will be extreme too, I pray for an eternal cold winter, wish we'll have an ice age soon too :)

Ah I really dont want an extreme hot season nor an Ice age. I mean really imagine an ice age, you would freeze to death outside, all vegetation and natural life will perish mostly you cant grow vegetables or fruits.
Both are dangerous to us.

The 4 seasons ran away long time ago :P
AymanFarhat wroteCome on guys lets starting thinking of a way to preserve our snow(and climate in general) rather than look at the problem and weep, lets start a movement! A real green Lebanese movement powered by geeks.
Ahh Yes, Sweet. Lebgeeks goes green.
LebGreen sounds a cool name.

Yay! We finally got a thunderstorm!! too bad it's still pretty hot(31C!)
Guess Mother Nature's giving us a small example of what's to come this year :P
Edit:Just did the research and it turns out the storm we're getting today is from a recent Low-pressure system from the Mediterranean sea

Finally some rain, but its still hot though :(

It was a tropical storm (islands hot rain of the Ocean)
I watched the map animation of Meteo France yesterday night and it looks like the hot wind hitting Lebanon right now doesn't come from Egypt but from central Africa!!!!!!
This never happened before since God knows!
Actual temperatures in Beirut under sunlight: 43c ...and we are still 10 am
Weather forecasting over the internet are giving very different results, some of them are saying the end of the week will be hotter than today while others are saying temps will drop!
I am afraid this year we will not have less than 25c during winter...like in Dubai,it's time to send CVs to north European cities :s
MegaCool
Yeah no wonder we had these strange looking humid like clouds and hot water drops, accuweather says that the temperature will kind of drop in the beginning of October, then it will rise again, its like there's a war between a dry hot weather, and wet hot weather too... damn we made some record numbers this summer :)

28th September

38c
And it was supposed to be one of the coolest day

I have a feeling winter will be heavy this year. It was so hot during the summer that you'd expect it to be really cold during winter, right? There are still many conflicting views on this.... Damn global warming!

Interesting article on global warming,Europe and the ''day after tomorrow'' theory:
http://www.activistpost.com/2010/09/is-day-after-tomorrow-happening-today.html
But then like we say in science ''rien ne se perd,tout se recupere'' so where will the hot winds go? toward Lebanon like last winter or we will benefit from icy north wind like the article is saying (about Europe though)?

Summer's back today D:
vegetaleb
It's not even Lebanese summer but Sahara
Ayman
OMG the weather today is horrible, I was sweating, thirsty, tired and had a headache while having my driving try out for the driving exam, and I failed because I couldn't concentrate. Worst day and weather ever! I hate this weather!
Flakk
Oh man when will this all be over? I miss the cold days!
Raficoo
ahh I was relieved today by the *finally* cool moring breeze, and according the Accuweather, seems like the Temps are finally going to be a bit lower this week :D
however, it says that by next week we'll back back at the 29-31 range again :(

Walaw, badna el 7a2i2a ... who cares about nature in Lebanon. if there's no trees, there's no winter => no snow. Lebnen el akhdar bye bye.
