It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.
If you’re joining in on today’s word, feel free to use this tag to connect your post to the series: #WaynesWord
Today’s word is POWERFUL (adj.) pronounced parful in Northern Ireland.
When the sun is blazing or the heat is intense, locals from Northern Ireland might describe it as powerful. It’s not just warm, it’s the kind of heat that makes you seek shade, grab a cold drink, and regret stepping outside, like it’s absolutely sweltering!
For example, “that heat is powerful today!”

Interesting use of powerful. Seeing your temps, it is powerful hot there. Stay cool!

I don’t think ‘powerful’ is used in those terms here…I think ‘strong’ or ‘intense’ are our substitutes.
But this was a powerful good post, Wayne. 🙂

Interesting that your temperature is in Celsius but your wind is in miles. Definitely powerfully warm, though!
