Are you getting roasted where you live?
« on: June 14, 2010, 06:18:04 PM »
Jeez, it is HOT here in the south. The real feel was 110 today. The humidity is almost unbearable and it is only June. What will August be like?  :o

What's it like where you are?

Yeah, it's pretty warm here, about 90°.  We got another afternoon downpour that knocked my cable out for a few minutes.

A downpour would be nice right now if it didn't make it more humid.

Are you on satellite? Does your cable go out in bad weather? That must stink.

I'm on cable, but I think my area has too many people on it.  It goes out easily.

It's cooled off a little bit.  The Weather Channel says 86°

Mid 90s in North Texas today.

I'm sitting here trying to figure out when I'll be in a position to move back to Seattle.

I know parts of TX right now are pretty miserably hot. I am sure SEattle is nice about right now.

Beastly hot for this early.

Went to the grocery about 12:30 and came out and the thermostat in the car read 98. Runnin' Buddy said she came out of a meeting this afternoon about 3 and her's read 114!! She said she didn't even know it went that high!

We had a wicked storm about 5:30-6. Lots of wind, thunder and rain for only about 15-20 minutes. But at least we got rain.

We're in the same forecast for the next several days.  This is late July-August temps. News said the utility company is having trouble.....

Exactly. My uncle's car said it was 120 Saturday!!!!! It wasn't, but the real feel was damn near close. Unreal. It is the kinda heat that takes your breath away as soon as you step into it, and an immediate sweat comes on. I hope it tames itself a little. If it is like this in June, August really will be like Hell.

Yeah, I grew up in Wisconsin.  I know all about humidity.  The 110 degree days are fine as long as I am by the pool.  Otherwise I hide indoors.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

See, when I gripe about it being cold here? lol, I know it can't even compare to Wisconsin!! I can't say I really know cold. I know 20's and some upper teens, but that negative mess? No way. Although that sounds nice about now!! ;)

Yeah, 50 is cold for me!! I do enjoy winter, and I wish we had more snow. We are lucky if we get a dusting once a year. This past year we got 6 inches, and that was major! However, I don't want that blizzard mess and negative temps. Although it seems a nice trade-off right now, that is just me being all hot talking.

Mid 70s and sunny. Couldn't complain about that. Unfortunately it'll be a few years.

It's been cool in Chicago for the last few days. Lots of rain over the past couple of weeks.  Although I love Texas and will always be a Texan at heart, I do not miss summer weather.  I'll be there over 4th of July and am dreading the heat. Thank God for pools :).

Anyone who has ever been to San Diego knows about "June gloom."  Been like that here for the last week.  Even had to turn on the heater briefly last week.  Finally forecast to break 70 today--first time in over a week. 

But by the weekend--upper 80's.  Suh-weet.

Friggin Hot.  Last week my AC was not functioning, and at 10pm, it was 96 degrees.  Inside.  Fortunately, it is working, but it is still friggin hot.  And, we need rain.  BAD.  I was really looking forward to a cooler, wetter summer this year.  I mean, didn't we have an El Nino winter????  WTF?   :bawl:

It's been hitting the mid 90's which, for this Cali boy, is just fine. Supposed to be in the 80's today. Ahhhh it sure is nice......
