Project 010 - Minneapolis temperatures
2005
Irish people like to talk about the weather. It's an ice breaker,
a talking point, a common interest, something that can be used
to fire up a simple conversation that could lead anywhere. I spent
all of 2005 in Minnesota so I missed out on countless debates
concerning rain, humidity, sunshine and whether I should've hung
out the clothes to dry or not but was then rewarded for not doing
so as copious amounts of water fell from the sky, unannounced.
The Americans don't generally open with "grand day isn't
it?" or "please God the rain holds off", so I'm
kind of out of practice with meteorological chit-chat. However,
I still feel it is my duty to honor this foundation of Irish life.
Here is my spin on 365 days of not talking about the weather.
Average daily temperatures are displayed. Units are °C. January
is top left, December is bottom right. That should be sufficient
information to understand the graph. |
