Yes, I know it's early but it's now or never... things to do...
Two cars get confused and have a quiet accident (3, 5)
I can’t believe no one got this… I honestly thought it’d take 2 minutes, max. I suppose I’ll be in trouble now for providing a lousy clue...
Two cars = car car
Get confused = car cra
(Yes, “car” is an anagram of “car”, albeit the trivial case)
And have a quiet = add on a “sh”
And you get ... <drum roll="">
Car crash = an accident!

I quite like that. I was nowhere near it having got fixated on "ap" rather than "sh".
Still a shame that the answer wasn't "raw tacos", though - I thought that was pure genius!

Is it normal to have an over 10 C temperature change (up/down) overnight?
I can't recall it from decades before...

you can get more than that a few times in the daytime in Melbourne, either way and in any season.

At first glance, I thought you were referring to body temperature, to which I would answer that it's perfectly normal . . . if you are dead.
You must, however, be referring to the street temperature - and such changes are, although not common, not rare, either. Actually, today, the AM temperature when I left for work (in the dark) was about 30F (-1 C). It is expected to be about 50F (10 C) by mid afternoon. Roughly the same yesterday.
So - no big deal.

It seems that the normal cooling/heating of the day-night-day cycle has no bad effect on me. What kills me is a sudden midnight wind-storm, that drops the temperatures in 5 minutes...

When I used to commute to work on a railroad, it was always very near dawn. Just a bit before sunrise there's usually a small increase in the wind and a rapid change in temperature. Probably a thermal wave produced by the oncoming warm air. Except, in the winter, it was unpleasantly cooler, and of course, with the breeze, that much more penetrating.
OK - suppose you don't go outdoors anymore. Will that help?

It is common in deserts. Look around, are you in one.

Clearly not... I see way too much trees around...

On the Moon is pretty natural.

In that case my 'One way ticket to the Moon' is for sale... Are you interested?

I am quite interested in the Moon, expecially in the Portuguese one.

A few weeks back, a friend stopped at the grocery store on his way home. While inside, a rainstorm blew through. When he left the store, the temperature had dropped by 19 degrees F.
|
|
|
|
|
Yep, that is common here in the South. 10-20 degree changes from the storms.

I wouldn't say normal, but I've experienced twice that in both directions.

|

Because of your subject I thought you were referring to a fever and my advice was going to be to get yourself to the emergency room right away.

It could be a heat wave if the temperature goes up by 10 °C from day to day, so yes, it's normal ... , but also rather rare ...

Don't complain - just across the Med from you we have had a 12 degree hit, from 12C to 24C. Needed a shirt, pullover and jacket in the morning, and just the shirt three hours later.

Here in Tennessee, where we normally experience all four seasons in a typical week, that is quite common.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

In Melbourne you can get that level of temperature change in the time it takes to cross the street - I have a colleague who bitches about it all the time

I believe 10 C is a decade, no?

Was it just me, or has The Lounge been inaccessible for the past half hour (at least)?
Anyway... easy one as I have far to much work to be doing today.... (which I know I shouldn't complain about, but...)
