    The heat is unbearable!!

    An hour ago (10PM) is was 28 degrees Celcius in my bedroom, it's now down to 27. I can't risk having the lower windows open (just a little bit on the hook), you never know what Fister might find interesting in the street during night. So I have all the top windows open and hope it'll be enough to cool my flat down a bit - but if you see me here all night, you know why.

    Could you all please turn to the North East and BLOW to get the wind going!

    I put a wet cloth on Fister, he even kept it on for some time.

    I know how you feel! It's currently 94F (34C?) - 77% humidity. Not a breeze in sight. I just took a cold shower and it doesn't even feel like it after stepping outside for 10 minutes with the dogs.

    Thank goodness we have air conditioning.

    Good grief, 34!! THAT is unbearable, especially because of the humidity. I remember how humid it was in Dominican Republic, and you're not that far from there. AC is a must - wish I had one!

    I would have both of your guys weather any day! Over here it is 103F (40C) but wait, this is NOTHING for our arizona weather here in phoenix. We get MUCH hotter.

    We have the heat/humidity thing here in Indiana too. It would seem
    unbearable to me also. Are you using electic fans at all? An AC unit would
    be better. They are pretty cheap in the US.

    The heat does not seem to bother the cats, but it does bother the dogs and
    one of them is always laying on the air vent.

    Yup. Been unbearably hot here too. It seems each year gets hotter and hotter than the year before. We've also noticed a distinct increase in POWERFUL storms. Global warming?

    I hate summer!!!

    Yeah, it may be 103 but you have like 5%-0% humidity. I'd be fine in these tempatures, but the humidity is horrible!

    Man you are sooo lucky! I think 28 degrees is such a perfect temperature! I would love to have that warmth here, for me its still only at the teens like 10 and 12 degrees.

    That's also true, i hate the humidity, like especially when i was in Cali and so much humidity because of the beach as well. So that's a plus.

    No kidding. My first summer here I was warned about the 120F heat, but until I experienced it the first time I had no idea. 120F is SO freaking hot! So I guess I'll be happy it's only 103F for right now.

    I'm wishing some cooler weather your way and hoping your windows help!

    If your windows are in direct sun, doing the tin-foil-shiny-side-out in the window would help deflect some of the heat!

    It was a little bit cooler today but still humid. Our swimming pool is getting GREAT use. My mom, Kiara, Mufasa, and I all took a dip today.

    We've already hit 38 C over here and it's only getting hotter! I've been spending lots of time at the pool and thankfully we have air condition. However the upstairs bedroom where my computer is gets hot it's usally around 28 C in here so Alexa and I fight over what temperature to set the a/c at! When we have guests sleep over we have to freeze the downstairs so that are guests are comfortable sleeping in the upstairs bedroom.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!
