Hot hot hot!

In Denmark, we've been lucky so far. It's not been up to 30C yet, but it has been rather humid at times. I'm OK as long the humidity stays under 60%, though. I wonder why some places are so humid and others dry. In Spain, I can stand a lot more heat, because the air there is dry.

The last couple of years, I have at times had 27C in my bedroom at night, that is unbearable! Even my summer duvet has been too warm.

AC is not common here, very few have it, but fans are used. Only, I get a cold every time I sit in front of a fan.

Hope you all get some relief soon!

I didn't realize they could freeze over.

It has been in the 90's here the last couple days. The news people are sending out "heat advisories".

I am glad to come to work where it is cool.

On a side note, my kitties apparently do not like the AC because they go to the warmest room in the house when I have it cranked up. Maybe I should get them sweaters.

I heard on the weather report yesterday, as I drove into my work parking lot at 7am, that people were flocking to Seattle to cool down! They said it was already 87F in Phoenix. I was perfectly happy to step out into our cool upper fifties morning air, the sky pale blue and cloudy, humidity low, and walk briskly to work. I couldn't stand living anywhere else. It does get tedious sometimes to have so very few sunny days, but I'd rather that than live with both heat and humidity.

We are so cool here that one of the mountain passes isn't going to open this summer because they still have 50 feet of snow which the cool weather this spring didn't melt off sufficiently for crews to work on clearing the rest.

I hear Texas hasn't had any rain for 9 months, is that right?

Gonna be 90 something today. It was 95 yesterday. It's Cleveland! Oh it's SO humid here, that it's miserable to take. I've been inside a lot lately, wishing I could be outside and enjoy the summer weather, but.. too humid. It wouldn't matter if I had a pool, though.

Our average high this time of year is around 90 or warmer, but it's been cooler the last week. We hit 99 on the 4th, then we've had a pattern of cooler weather, with monsoon rains in the afternoon. We've had way more rain than normal this year! It's kind of nice.

Although 90s here is not unbearably hot since we have very low humidity most of the time. Plus it gets cool at night (like upper 50s low 60s). We don't have A/C and it's fine...I can't stand humidity, though! There is no way I could stand 90+ temps without a/c in a place that has high humidity. When I visit the midwest in the summer I feel like I am drowning...

One of the perks of living on the Atlantic coast, is the humidity () - and the further south you go - the worse it is. I grew up in New England on the coast, and the humidity wasn't nearly as bad as it is here in the mid-Atlantic region, and south of here is even worse. Most people that don't live near the coast are under the impression that it is cooler and more comfortable, since we get the cooler ocean breeze. Sometimes yes - but most of the time - no. We get the heat and humidity pumped up to us from the south by way of the jet stream. It's just soupy, sticky, hot!!!!

You guys are so lucky to have all that heat! We had a few nice days and that was fabulous. Now it's cloudy, going to rain again (like we need more). In fact there are heavy rainfall warnings all thru Southern Alberta for today. Feel free to send the heat you don't want this way!!! Be nice to have some warmth for a while before the snow comes back!

We in SE kansas are in the stew pot with you!!! Our temps are over 100. We are to have a cool down tomorrow. The high will be 93, then back to the 100s next day.

Our rural small towns are having water shortages and have to ration now. We had floods just a few weeks ago.

Yes that is true for parts of TX.. Now here where I am at in TX the last rain we got was First Part Of April which did help to put the Bigg Fires out that we was having.. However we only got enough rain to just wet the pavment.. It is so Dry from the Heat & Wind that we need like a whole week of pouring rain to catch up some.. We are for sure in a Drought.. However I can always look around me && see other people & places that are worse off.. So I will just be happy with what I have && where I live..
