Old Kay's Weather Center
place: Rotterdam
equipment: Bare skin, naked eye, gut-feeling, a good working pair
of brains to coordinate the data-stream, and not to forget, my
taste-buds.
measurement: degrees Celsius. Why the hell do some people (yes,
the same people I mentioned somewhere else who write down dates
in a strange certain illogical way), use degrees Fahrenheit ? 1
Celsius corresponds with 1 Kelvin, both are pretty much standard
use in physics and other science. So, why ? Why ?
You probably know the expression: There's always sunshine
after rain. Well, it's a bit different here. Here it's: There's
always rain after sunshine. A bit different, yet it's not, is it
? Well, it gives you an idea of how the weather goes on here in
Holland. It pretty much sux.

air running into the warmer air we just had, it caused
friction where negatively and positively charged
particles were created, and hence causing a local
disturbance where air was roughly pushed and pulled from
one side to the other side. In other words, it stormed. 2

heating of the Earth. Earth is getting hotter and hotter
? Yeah, tell that to my frozen ears and fingers. 9 C.
- 13-11-98: Rain is back. Like I was missing it already or
something. Not funny at all. 9 C.
- 12-11-98: Still no rain. But still cold. 8 C.
- 11-11-98: Hmm. It stopped raining. But it's damn cold. 8
C.
- 10-11-98: Still raining. 10 C.
- 09-11-98: While I know over 75% of Earth is water, it
seems it's all concentrated here in lil' Holland right
now. *sigh*. 10 C.
- 08-11-98: In case somebody got their hopes up, hah, no
such luck. Lotsa rain, again. 8 C.
- 07-11-98: Wow, no rain. Even a bit of sun. 8 C.
- 06-11-98: Still the same. Booohoooring. 8 C.
- 05-11-98: Still cold, still a lot of rain. This is really
really getting boring. 9 C.
- 04-11-98: Even colder, even more rain. 8 C.
- 03-11-98: Still cold, even more rain. 9 C.
- 02-11-98: Still cold, still rainy. 9 C.
- 01-11-98: Cold, rainy. 8 C.
- 31-10-98: Back to rain, cold etc. The wind is staying
low, luckily. After the harvest going to hell, now
chickens are the next victims of this weather (countless
chickens died, drowned. It means the price of chicken
will rise in the considerable near future). 8 C.
- 30-10-98: Wow, less windy, less cold, less rain, less
clouds, tiny bit of sun (doesn't mean the weather isn't
sucky, in case you were wondering). 11 C.
- 29-10-98: Still raining, still windy. Now the corn and
beet harvest are the victims of the excess water. But
hey, why do you care eh ? (You never nibble on a corncob,
or what about popcorn, beet juice, sugar ?) That makes
the damage about 200 million dollars now. And the weather
isn't thinking of any improvement anytime soon. 10 C.
- 28-10-98: Same. 10 C.
- 27-10-98: Still windy, rainy and rainy and rainy. Well,
all this horrible (too weak a word, actually), execrable
(nop, still too weak a word), *yet to be invented word*
weather is causing an estimated 70 % failure of this
years potato harvest. But hey, why do you care eh ?
(french fries, chips, starch, thickening of sauces, etc).
10 C.
- 26-10-98: Windy, rainy and rainy and rainy. 10 C.
- 25-10-98: Still dry but still windy. 10 C.
- 24-10-98: Dry but still windy. 10 C.
- 23-10-98: Still storming. 10 C.
- 22-10-98: Stilll raining. 10 C.
- 21-10-98: Raaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiin. 10 C.
- 20-10-98: Same. 10 C.
- 19-10-98: Rainy, sunny, windy, cold. 10 C.
- 18-10-98: Dark clouds, but dry. 13 C.
- 17-10-98: Rainy, windy. 13 C.
- 16-10-98: Same, though the sucky weather is expected back
soon later this day. 14 C.
- 15-10-98: Finally, it's dry. Even sunny at someplaces. 14
C.
- 14-10-98: Same with even more rain, can you imagine. 11
C.
- 13-10-98: Same. 10 C.
- 12-10-98: Cold windy and rainy. Why do most people I meet
on the Internet keep saying they would like to come and
see Holland ? Are they insane ? 10 C.
- 11-10-98: Rain rain rain rain. Lots of it. Did I mention
that ? 10 C.
- 10-10-98: Still dry. At least that's one positive thing.
10 C.
- 09-10-98: Looking a bit better, but that's because it's
foggy. 10 C.
- 08-10-98: Cold wind lotsa rain. And I'm feeling sick. In
fact, I AM sick. 9 C.
- 07-10-98: Cold wind rain. And I'm goin to be sick. 9 C.
- 06-10-98: Cold cold cold, and a tiny bit of rain. 8 C.
- 05-10-98: Still damn cold. 8 C.
- 04-10-98: If there's no rain, then it's damn cold. How
typical. 9 C.
- 03-10-98: Even colder due to the somewhat stronger
eastern wind. At most 9 C. This is definitely NOT good.
- 02-10-98: A mild wind from the east causing a very cold
breeze. At most 10 C. This is NOT good.
- 01-10-98: Cloudy and still windy. 15 C.
- 30-09-98: Lotsa rain and a jerking wind. 15 C.
- 29-09-98: Lotsa more rain. 16 C.
- 28-09-98: Lotsa rain. 17 C.
- 27-09-98: No more nice weather. It's back to the awful
sucky weather. This is caused by a toned-down
hurricane/disturbance/anomaly originating from the
Atlantic Ocean heading for France, hence causing a
eastern wind here, hence the colder wetter air. Boy, I
know so much eh ? 18 C.
- 26-09-98: Summery day. Yihoo. 22 C.
- 25-09-98: Cloudy yet sunny. 20 C.
- 24-09-98: Who said is was autumn ? 19 C.
- 23-09-98: And another. 19 C.
- 22-09-98: Another fine day. 19 C.
- 21-09-98: Finally a whole day of blue sky. Because it's
really autumn now, the temperature wasn't that high,
though still nice for a change. 18 C.
- 20-09-98: Nice, a bit windy. 16 C.
- 19-09-98: Crappy morning, but the sun would show itself
later in the day. 16 C.
- 18-09-98: Hey look at that. The sun, almost forgot is was
there. And it would leave soon to. Yet another rainy day.
15 C.
- 17-09-98: Another rainy day. 15 C.
- 16-09-98: Rainy rainy rainy. 14 C.
- 15-09-98: Like the summer wasn't miserable enough
already, somebody thought it was funny to drop 1.5
billion litres of rain here. Some places had from 10 to
50 centimetres of water. Even cars started floating. 13
C.
- 14-09-98: Cloudy and a tiny bit of rain. 15 C.
- 13-09-98: Rainy, cold, windy, stormy. 16 C.
- 12-09-98: Cloudy and windy with a tiny bit of sun. 19 C.
- 11-09-98: Rainy. 18 C.
- 10-09-98: Cloudy with a touch of sun. 19 C.
- 09-09-98: Still cloudy. 18 C.
- 08-09-98: Rainy. 18 C.
- 07-09-98: Rainy. 18 C.
- 06-09-98: Nice and quiet Sunday. 18 C.
- 05-09-98: Today was something like {morning × (rain² +
fog) + noon (1/3 × wind - clouds) + night (2.5
clouds/sun) }. Or something. 19 C.
- 04-09-98: Very cloudy. 18 C.
- 03-09-98: Raaaaaaaain. 18 C.
- 02-09-98: Same. 18 C.
- 01-09-98: Rainy and cloudy. 17 C.
- 31-08-98: Little improvement, but still autumn kinda
weather. 18 C.
- 30-08-98: Cloudy, sunny. 18 C.
- 29-08-98: Just cloudy, no rain. 17 C.
- 28-08-98: Rain, wind, sun. 16 C.
- 27-08-98: Rain, wind, sun, rain, wind, sun, rain, wind,
sun. Hard to believe, but it's true. 16 C.
- 26-08-98: Guess again again. I know, I'm getting
monotonous, just like the weather here. 16 C.
- 25-08-98: Guess again. 17 C.
- 24-08-98: Guess. 18 C.
- 23-08-98: Another sucky day. 18 C.
- 22-08-98: Nice and quiet (that's because I was indoors
most of the time, you don't have to be a philosopher to
figure that out). Outside, it was close to a storm, maybe
a rain shower here or there. 18 C.
- 21-08-98: Well, what do you know, autumn start August
21st. Rain rain rain rain rain. 19 C.
- 20-08-98: Back to the deceiving kind of weather. Nice in
the beginning, ugly in the end. (That means sun in the
morning, rain later in the day). 20 C.
- 19-08-98: Kind of an undefined day again. 20 C.
- 18-08-98: And yet another undefined day. 20 C. Let's
define "undefined", shall we ? What I mean by
that is, the one minute you have to put on a coat, the
next you're sweating like a pig, the one minute you put
on your sun glasses, the next minute is clouded again.
See ? You can't define "undefined". It's
paradox, accept it. Well, it's actually not a paradox,
but by letting you believe it's not, while it is indeed,
I created another paradox, neat eh ?
- 17-08-98: Another undefined day (you don't know what I'm
talking about, do you ?). 20 C.
- 16-08-98: Very undefined weather. 20 C.
- 15-08-98: Very clouded. 19 C.
- 14-08-98: Now it's really clouded, and really cold.
Summer, sigh. Later in the day the sun would shine again.
22 C.
- 13-08-98: Major drop in temperature, and more clouds and
more wind. 21 C.
- 12-08-98: Thin clouds will make it more bearible. 28 C.
- 11-08-98: Hot, and hot. Really hot. 31 C.
- 10-08-98: Another hot day, with just a small breeze, and
hence a small chance on a small smog alarm. 30 C.
- 09-08-98: A cloudy morning, but with lots of positive
thinking I forced/willed (I'm that good, yes) another hot
summer day. 29 C.
- 08-08-98:
Summmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!.
29 C.
- 07-08-98: Yesss. This is what I call summer. 26 C.
- 06-08-98: Windy summerday. 20 C.
- 05-08-98: More wind, more rain. 19 C.
- 04-08-98: Bit the same, bit of rain. 19 C.
- 03-08-98: Ditto, plus a bit of wind. 20 C.
- 02-08-98: Same. 19 C.
- 01-08-98: Quite nice. No rain, no wind. 20 C.
- 31-07-98: Very cloudy. 20 C.
- 30-07-98: RAINY, what else ? 19 C.
- 29-07-98: Another cloudy rainy day. 20 C.
- 28-07-98: Cloudy and windy. 21 C.
- 27-07-98: Another nice day. But it started raining again.
Cool, summer was exactly 2 days, how exciting. 24 C.
- 26-07-98: Still nice weather. The big question is, for
how long ? 24 C.
- 25-07-98: Seems summer finally arrived. 34 days too late,
but hey, it's here. 24 C.
- 24-07-98: Whoohoo, behold, nice weather, actually. Lotsa
sun. 23 C.
- 23-07-98: A bit of rain, a bit of sun. 21 C.
- 22-07-98: A bit of rain, a bit of sun. 22 C.
- 21-07-98: Back to the old habit. Rain rain rain. 21 C.
- 20-07-98: Yihaa, finally. Now, THIS IS what I call summer
(though it'll probably last one lousy day). Lotsa sun,
lotsa blue sky. Sad thing is, I stayed home all day. 25
C.
- 19-07-98: Cloudy, but the sun actually showed itself.
AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaah. *I'm astounded*. 19 C.
- 18-07-98: Believe it or not, it's ANOTHER drooling day.
17 C.
- 17-07-98: Another drooling day. 18 C.
- 16-07-98: Drooling weather. If you know what I mean. 18
C.
- 15-07-98: A bit rainy, a bit sunny. This getting on my
nerves, y'know? 18 C.
- 14-07-98: Definitely damn lousy weather today. 17 C.
- 13-07-98: Half clouded. 17 C.
- 12-07-98: Rainy rainy rainy. 18 C. Hmm, maybe we can hope
for a long summer (like, uhmm, all the way through
September and October ?).
- 11-07-98: Dark clouds, it's gonna be rainy and sunny
again. And very windy. Where the hell did summer go ? 19
C.
- 10-07-98: A bit rainy, a bit sunny. 19 C.
- 09-07-98: Rain, rain, rain. 18 C.
- 08-07-98: A bit cloudy, a bit rainy. 17 C.
- 07-07-98: A bit cloudy, a bit sunny and a bit more windy.
And a bit rainy. 18 C.
- 06-07-98: A bit cloudy, a bit windy. Pretty nice
actually. 20 C.
- 05-07-98: Darkish clouds. Still no rain though. 19 C.
- 04-07-98: Cloudy, windy. 19 C.
- 03-07-98: Grey-ish clouds. Still no rain luckily. 18 C.
- 02-07-98: Half clouded. No rain. Yippee. (Coz it's said
that last June was the rainiest June since Noah went
sailing). 20 C.
- 01-07-98: Rainy. Sunny. 20 C. (getting confused yet ?)
- 30-06-98: Sunny. Rainy. Sunny. 21 C.
- 29-06-98: Rainy. Sunny. Rainy.Sunny. 20 C.
- 28-06-98: Rainy. Sunny. Rainy. 20 C.
- 27-06-98: Well, there IS some complaining from me now.
It's now raining cats. Or should I say that it's raining
dogs ? Naah, it's raining cats AND dogs now. Ugh.
- 27-06-98: Whitish sky and a bit of sun. No complaining
from me. 20 C.
- 26-06-98: A bit greyish sky today. But I said to myself
"hey, this is going to be a wonderful day" (I
talk to myself sometimes) (uhmm, actually, I talk to
myself ALL the time). Anyway, the weather must have
listened to me. It stayed dry, and the sun showed itself
too. 21 C.
- 25-06-98: A bit unstable weather (meaning, it could rain,
storm, snow, hail, or even be sunny, from one second to
the other). 20 C.
- 24-06-98: Grey sky, but it should clear all up later
after noon. 20+ C.
- 23-06-98: Argh, the drooling rainy weather is definitely
back. 19 C.
- 22-06-98: Sunny, with clouds here and there, keeping the
temperature at a 20 C.
- 21-06-98: Sunny sunny sunny. 25 C. Woohoo. Now, I'm
thinking of beating the man to the hospital. Should I ?
- 20-06-98: Sunny sunny sunny. 23 C. So, should I knock the
man, living just around the corner again ? Just to be
sure ? He _IS_ taking a lot of abuse just for my (and
whole Holland's) pleasure. Tough world eh ?
- 19-06-98: Almost seemed to be a cloudy day, but it
cleared all up. Sunny, making it a nice 20 C.
- 18-06-98: There's an Indian
medicine-man/sjaman/rain-maker living here, just around
the corner, and I just had it with this weather, all the
way up here. So, I knocked the man down, pretty hard.
Just to ensure a few days of sun. And it WILL BE SUNNY !
Wanna bet ? Well, you can thank me (if you enjoyed/will
enjoy) the upcoming nice weather) by providing an alibi
for me. 18-06-98, around 6 o'clock. Deal ?
- 18-06-98: So much for the sun yesterday. It's cloudy and
rainy again. 17 C.
- 17-06-98: Hey, look at that. The SUN. Yeah, it's true.
It's the sun. Finally. 19 C.
- 16-06-98: Loads of rain. Tiny bit of sun. 17 C. Okay, not
even a week before summer, and I can already give this
sound, 100 percent sure, 100 percent free advice, for the
people among you thinking about starting an icecream
company or someting related to it. DON'T.
- 15-06-98: A bit of rain, a tiny bit of sun. 16 C.
- 14-06-98: Rainy, cloudy. 15C.
- 13-06-98: Quite sunny, still windy. 16 C.
- 12-06-98: Once again. a cloudy, rainy, sunny day. Amazing
eh ? 16 C.
- 11-06-98: Another cloudy, rainy, sunny day (you still
don't know what I mean, do ya ?). 16 C.
- 10-06-98: A cloudy, rainy, sunny day. If you know what I
mean (probably not). 18 C.
- 09-06-98: Rain rain and more rain. 18 C.
- 08-06-98: Another cloudy day. And some gusts of wind. I
stayed dry though. 18 C.
- 07-06-98: Looks like it's gonna be a rainy day. 18 C.
- 06-06-98: Nice weather was suddenly replaced by the worst
hail and rain shower you can imagine. And guess what ? I
was in it. I could have waited inside after work, but I
didn't. Anyway, after work I usually take a shower.
Today, that wasn't necessary. Also, you can add 8 big
dents in my head.
- 06-06-98: Now the sun is shining. *Sigh*. About 19 C.
- 06-06-98: Rain, storm, thunder. Temperature: Dunno, you
really think I'm goin' outside to measure it ?
- 05-06-98: Started of with loads of sun. But deceitful as
the weather is here, later in the day, it would rain cats
and dogs, and a strong wind would accompany it. This
seems something quite innocent, but mind you, it caused
over 300 km of traffic jam. 18 C.
- 04-06-98: Mostly cloudy, with some sun late noon. 19 C.
- 03-06-98: Sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, rain. 18 C.
- 02-06-98: Sun, rain, sun, rain, sun. Luckily, the
temperature is stable at a 20 C.
- 01-06-98: Nice clear sky with occasional think clouds.19
C.
- 31-05-98: Cloudy, major drop in temperature. Sun would
shine vaguely after noon.17 C.
- 30-05-98: Sun is shining nicely, and the thin clouds
prevent the temperature to rise too high. 19 C.
- 29-05-98: Thin clouds. Sun is dimly shining. Clouds will
resolve later this day. 16 C.
- 28-05-98: (Okay, so I _was_ lazy, so I _did_ lie, let me
make it up to you by giving you a more detailed report
then) Started of cloudy, with the sun trying to show it's
face. Around 10:00 the sun would finally gain its first
points. This struggle would go on for another 2 hours. By
then the temperature has risen to an oppresive 21 C.
(Official reports say 19 C, but look at the equipment I
use, see above, and notice the superiority). The sun
would rule over the next 4 hours, and even the wind would
drop from 3.2 to a nice 1.9 (that's on the scale of
Beaufort, yes, I can do that too). Around 17:00 the
battle between the sun and clouds would result in some
thunder, and an hour later, rain would begin to drip.
Later, around sunset, rainshowers were reported. A small
temperature drop as a result.
- 28-05-98: Same. (No, I'm really serious, don't think I'm
being lazy or something, and also, I would NEVER lie
about the weather.)
- 27-05-98: Same.
- 26-05-98: Same.
- 25-05-98: Again dark clouds. And a bit of rain. 15 C.
- 24-05-98: Dark clouds. Rain. *sigh*. 14 C.
- 23-05-98: Dark thick clouds. Still no rain, but damn
cold. 13 C.
- 22-05-98: Dark clouds, still no rain. 15 C.
- 21-05-98: Clouds, maybe rain. 15 C.
- 20-05-98: Started of as a cloudy day. But it's clearing
up already. Sun is breaking through. I think it'll be a
21 C.
- 19-05-98: Another hot day. I predict a low pressure area
homing in here in about 2 days. That'll mean a drop to
13-14 C. And rain. See ? There's always rain after
sunshine.
- 18-05-98: Temp is going to be a bit higher than
yesterday. I think. Anyway, now the word "Greenhouse
Effect" pops to mind. Scary eh ?
- 17-05-98: Temp is down to a bearable 25 C now. Clouds are
still nowhere to be seen.
- 16-05-98: about the same as yesterday.
- 15-05-98: temperature is going up again. It's getting
oppresive again.
- 14-05-98: 25 C. A bit more comfortable. Finally. I can't
stand the heat. I think the heat will continue a bit
more.
- 13-05-98: 30 C. Not a heatwave yet. A heatwave is defined
as 9 days over 25 C of which 3 over 30. Or something.
- 12-05-98: even 32 C
- 11-05-98: up to 30 C.
- 10-05-98: Even hotter.
- 09-05-98: It's hot.
- 08-05-98: Whole rainy week.
