I imagine the Rio games will be held at a similar time during the year. It might not be though. Rio is over ten degrees closer to the Equator than Sydney is. It's closer than Miami is. I was in the middle east for a while, though I was slightly closer to the Equator than Rio is, still, the coldest it got in the year was still in the 70s. As you can see here, the coldest months in Rio still average 70 degrees: http://www.holiday-weather.com/rio_de_janeiro/averages/ ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: OT: Rio 2016
hu handicaping the european athletes interesting thought... on the other hand, Brazilian athletes are often handicaped on the cold environments and that never stopped us, we even have a sled team and we have no snow, so I think the world will be fine.

Re: OT: Rio 2016
Winter nights can be chilly, with the temperature dropping to around 15° C (around 70 F). Laugh if you live in a cold country, but the fact is that thermal comfort is completely relative. Wind and dampness could make you feel even colder, and the homes do not have a heating system. In other words, near-tropical climate with a low of 70 degrees F and sunny days. -- excerpt from a travel post -- Re: Weather in Rio During May - August Apr 05, 2006, 10:06 PM I lived in Rio for many years and return every summer vacation (here) - winter there. Always go late July - early August. I can assure you that you will have beautiful beach weather and plenty of tanning opportunity during this period. Was there last summer with my daughter from August 1st through August 22nd and we went to the beach everyday - but one! Enjoy your trip. - Jim Ault Las Vegas On Oct 2, 2009, at 10:15 AM, Joe Lewis Wilkins wrote: Out of curiosity, won't that make the Summer games held in the Winter, since the southern hemisphere is the reverse of where they are normally held?

Re: OT: Rio 2016
Brasil is a tropical country. what we in europe call "summer" is their temperature in "winter" (20-30 degrees celsius or so). If they'd do it in their geographical summer (nov-feb), they'd handicap all the european athletes with the 40+ temperatures and 99% humidity...

However I do feel the Olympics have lost sight of their original fiat and are now corrupted by commercialism, drug-taking and other nastinesses beyond redemption. Let's redress things by having a "RunRev Coding Games" in Rio at the same time, where either individuals or teams are each given a clean computer (i.e. containing no RunRev code except for a copy of Studio) and a theme for a limited time (say, 12-15 hours) in which to create a program.
