Have you ever been on the LiveScience Web site? They have all kinds of interesting information. For example, the highest temperature ever recorded was 136 degrees Fahrenheit (about 57.8 degrees Celsius) in Libya, and the lowest temperature was minus 128.5 degrees F (minus 89.2 degrees Celsius) in Antarctica. The heaviest hailstone, weighing 2.25 pounds, fell in Bangladesh. What do you think they would say about Shimane – one of the places with the most cloudy days? (by Prof. Carmella Lieske)
