Heatwave!

[pomtzu]

Still in the miserable 90's here - with 99 forecast for Saturday. Of course that means it will be even hotter!
We all need a break from this. Problem is - when the heck are we going to get it?????

I don't think we'll reach 99 today like was forecast, since right now it is somewhat overcast. It's ONLY 95, but the heat index is 108!!! Open the door to go outside, and it's like a blast furnace. I am so, so, so, so SICK of this weather............


ETA: 4:30
I think we topped it out for the day. It made it to 97 with the heat index of 113!

Tomorrow, 79* for the high!!! Better break out my winter coat!!!

We're expecting (or rather hoping for) an arctic blast here in Trenton for Monday and Tuesday, reports are saying 88 degrees. Our heavy jackets and extra blankets are already out.

Now if we could only get some desperately needed rain! The grass everywhere is brown and the ground is like a rock.

The only ones coming out ahead during this horrible summer are the electric & power companies with air conditioners and fans having to run non-stop.

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

Another day of temperatures near 100. It's been a week since we had a temperature under 95. The heat index (what it feels like) is around 112. Even nighttime teperatures stay around 76.

I wonder how Scarlet and Rhett could handle this stuff back in their day.

This unusual summer has played hell with my Hydrangea blooms too.
The sun has burned up most of the flowers.I have a precious few left on
the far side of the bush where there is a little shade. Bummer.

Grass is not supposed to crunch underfoot, but it sure does this year. The only good thing, is that it doesn't have to be cut!!!

37 here today and it feels a lot hotter than that. The forecast is for rain tomorrow so I think the humidity makes it worse. I was out this morning when it was cooler but now I'm locked up with the a/c. Gave the dog a bath, put her on the deck and she was dry in less than five minutes. Took her in the yard to brush her and thankfully she had left all the hair in the tub so I rushed back inside.
But, after the cold humid winter we had I'm not going to complain, I find it easier to stay in and at least see the sun shining. I almost wish things could be like this till Christmas, I dread the thought of another 7 mos of below freezing weather.
