Gosh i have been seeing on the telly just how hot you guys are having it, it is awful,here i am on the other side of the world, cold today, jack frost has been out, and everything looks white, but the sun is out and it is going to be a glorious day here in NZ, hope it is NOT too hot today for everyone,keep cool.:)
While the humidity isn't as bad as yesterday or the day before, it's still hot. So much so that I didn't take UtchieB and Isis out for a stroll.
I don't know how the elderly or people with breathing problems handles this kind of air quality.
I also don't know how people in Florida deal with it all year long. Give me changes of seasons ANYDAY!
It's 95 right now, but we did have a high of 98 at 2:05. Severe thunderstorm watch up till 10 p.m. but that won't bring enough rain to make any difference even if we do get any storms. We need several days of steady rain to do any good. At least it will be more normal temps next week - finally!!!
Cut me a break - please!!!!! Right now it's 103 with the heat index of 108. It will probably go higher even, before it starts to drop for the day.
We have just over 16C in Copenhagen and we haven't had much summer at all. When you cycle, you have to put a jacket on. However, it will be up to 22C over the weekend. :)
Severe thunderstorms coming here. It's getting dark and I hear thunder. The temp here is 93 with the humidity being unbearable!!! So much so that my little AC is pumping out cool air but it's not making a dent. My poor cats are spread out on my kitchen and bathroom floors where it's cool. Hopefully the storms will help cool it down.
It has been really nice in northern california the last few days...mid 70's, we will be back up to norms by the weekend...
I'm hearing rumbles for thunder now, and am looking forward to rain! It's been 90+ degrees and muggy all week.
The week after I made this post it was up in the 100's. This week is much cooler (almost even cold at night). Actually, yesterday morning it was so misty I had to turn on my wipers on my way to work. I just wish it would make up its mind. Such drastic changes in the weather are hard to handle.Quote:

I frighten easily) Our weather person said at noon at least 7 more days of this, probably more. We are under heat advisories until at least Saturday night. He also said looks like we will have temps above normal through September. I sure hope he is wrong.Quote:

Per The Weather Channel we topped out at 106 at 2:05 - don't know what the heat index was tho - other than oppressive! It's getting dark out and I can hear thunder in the distance - strong storm warnings are up till 9 p.m. Maybe we'll get a little rain...........
I wish it was hot, even warm would be good. I'd like to stop using my woodstove for at least a little while this year. It's just wrong to need a SAD lamp in July in the Land of the Midnight Sun! We had frost twice last week! Today it's about 58F, raining and cloudy again!
Well, and hour or so ago it finally rained - poured as a matter of fact, and the back yard is flooded with just an island for the little tree and a circle underneath that rises up. I stood on the part of the back patio that is not underwater and tossed some seed out there, and within minutes there were twice as many birds as usually, crammed into 1/3 the space! It's been so dry we needed the rain, we're not as bad off as the places that are in drought but still, I was happy for the rain!
I am so very sorry for those suffering such heat. I wilt very easily with the slightest heat. Keep safe and cool everyone!
