Hot hot hot!

[Pembroke_Corgi]

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.

Since I've lived in CA for over 20 some years now, I don't think that I could ever live in a place where they have a lot of humidity. I can't even stand it here when it's in the upper 80's or 90's. I have no A/C at home so I have to rely on fans. The A/C at work usually doesn't work well and I sit between 2 hot ovens. I work in a dental lab and we use the ovens to bake the opaque and porcelain on the crowns. At least it usually cools down at night so I can open up my windows to cool my place down. I've really enjoyed the past few days because it's been in the 70's during the day. I love this kind of weather. The weather sure seems way out of wack lately. Will it ever be more normal again?

I've been monitoring the heat today, as Willy and I were due at Agility class. And while we are not nearly as hot as many of you who have posted, we reached 93 today, humidity of 62%. Icky to say the least. Average for today is 83. RI has terrible issues w/ ozone and pollution, and today was an air quality alert day - no one should be out exercising in that stuff.

We didn't go to class. Thus far we've missed 3 of this 6 session set. Two for heat, one I was sick. I may skip signing up for the next session or 2!

I also have to remember Willy's age (turns 8 on Sept 2), vs. the rest of class, age 2.5 or younger.

LOVE our central air, the crew of 15 are quite spoiled!

We've had between 28-31 for the last two weeks with one or two days of a few showers which did nothing to cool things off. The humidity is almost unbearable I stay inside with the air on but I do enjoy getting out when it isn't too hot. Malls all have a/c fortunately so shopping is great. It's nice to see the sun and have the heat after 7 mos of a cold freezing winter so I don't want to complain, in another couple of months we'll be hauling out the heavy jackets again.

I would gladly send you some warmth if there was a way to do it.

That sounds like fun making crowns. I had one that kept falling out so they made me a new one and that one did the same thing. I finally gave up and just have the two points from that tooth where a root canal was done.
