Heatwave!

[Freedom]

We're having a Heat wave - a tropical heat wave!

Three days or more reaching 90 degrees; today is day 3.

High today = 101! Last time we reached that: July 21-22, 1991.

Last time we reached 100: Aug 2, 2006

Heat index: 108

We have had rolling power outages since midnight; no power out for me as yet.

AND water bans are popping up all around. Better water my veggie garden this evening.

Predicted LOW for overnight? 76!

Thank goodness, all the news stations are reminding folks to get their pets inside in this weather. And not to leave pets or children in cars.

Join the club. We've been dying down here for a couple of weeks now and the same forecast for the next 10 days.

Bring on the snow!

Amen to the snow! Same here, 90* right now. The 70* at night is the worst!!!

Ditto in Indy. When the humidity creeps up close to the temp, then you
know it's bad.

I dislike it, but certain loved ones think this temp is fine! So I don't complain too much, just drink a LOT of cold water.

Well, they have changed the official high for today to 102!

I prefer this over the snow. At least I CAN go out, and the days are long and bright.

Here in NJ it has been a heatwave also and I hate it. Luckily I have lost no power yet and hope this weather cools down very soon. Here is some snow from last winter:

Yup you all in the East are having Texas Heat && we here in TX is having mid to upper 90's temps.. Normaly we would have already had numerous days with over 100% temps..

Thanks, Carol, I feel better now! Oh wait, I am sitting in front of the a/c duct and it just came on as I saw your snow pic.

My poor little A/C is working overtime since Sunday. It's only a small single room unit, however with my open floor plan it has to cool 4 rooms and my open stairwell to the upstairs!! During the hottest part of the day cranked up on full, it only keeps the main area of the house down to 82 degrees or so! Still sweaty but better than 90. My electric bill is gonna be a doozy this month.

Same here, only I have no upstairs.

Stay cool...

Good thoughts to all suffering extreme temps. I count my blessings to be in moderate CA. Earthquakes and all! Spending the day at the pool!
