Weather where you are?

Just got back from Palm Springs California with the wife on the back of my RGS. It was 114 degrees (45 degrees C) and the bike ran fine. Now at home and it is a comfortable 93 degrees (33 degrees C). I think I broke a worlds record as to how fast one can consume a beer as soon as we got off the bike.

The RGS and I one time rode in 124 degrees (51 degrees C) and it was not fun. I soon found a a restaurant to stay in until it started getting dark to continue the journey of another 200 miles. In the summer I run the bike on straight 50W oil.
 
It’s cool and overcast here in Sapporo: low 60’s F and 17 or so C. We are going to a Japan Professional Baseball league game today in the early afternoon. The local team is the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters, Shohei Ohtani’s old team for any Angelenos or Dodger fans. The overcast burns off every day, but returns in early evening.
 
Here in western Canada we have one of the coolest and wetest springs and early summers in many years. Farm fields have lots of standing water so farmers and motorcyclists both not happy with the weather.

No sign of global warming so I will have to see if the RGS emissions can cause some heat to form.
 
Yeah, the global warming screamers are naval gazing right now here in British Columbia, as last winters cold spell destroyed 90% of ALL wine fields, for probably 5-7 years, and eliminated all “stone fruit” production here in our mini desert, the southern Okanagan Valley. In fact the big controversy now is the local farmers are importing US cherries, apricots, peaches, etc, and branding them local, but all the trees are dead from last winter. Global warming just sucks!!!
 
Not a good idea to start a debate on here about 'the weather' but global warming is just one of the consequences of climate change ... drought in one part of the world, flood in another, record lows, record highs, changes in ocean currents and temperatures ... etc etc etc

Somehow I don't think cold weather means everything's just fine.
