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......

That ain't right man, that just ain't right.

I saw a thermometer at the corner of North Pearl and State yesterday, in Albany, which read 69 degrees.  It's supposed to be about 10 degrees hotter today.  This Saturday, it's supposed to be near 90 again.

Last summer, it was cool and rainy.

This summer, hotter than hell and stormy every afternoon. Yesterday's was excitin'... :badmood:

It's like stepping out into a sauna. It's just wrong to be all cleaned up, dressed in appropriate "meeting clothes"...just to get outside and sweat....I mean "glow".....Southern women glow....we don't do anything so crass as to sweat.  :whatever:

It's not the heat, its the humidity.  Not bad today at 82° with 69% but Dallas probably feels nicer with 92° at 44%.

Back below 70 again today and tomorrow.  Then up to 90 on Friday, right through the weekend.  Bastards.

Next time y'all get rain like that, think about your neighbors on the other side of the river, and share a bit, k?

I heard OKC got like 10 inches in that storm.  Holy Schnikeys!

Sunblock will definitely be my friend.

Lizard? YOU????  BWAHHHH.

I've never seen such pristine white porcelain skin as what you have on those gams of yours.  :lmao: 

You need to come out on the boat with me some more so you can work on your tan. M'kay?

We'll keep the hose handy.   :tongue:

Seems to me you're the one who got nailed with the hose, but then again you had your revenge when I fell off the platform and the railing broke, which made me land on my hip.  Whee.

I have no "say", per se...it's 100 percent, 100 percent of the time.  Anything less, THEN I get to hear about it.

Amazing. Three pages of hot weather and nary a comment on the "global warming" craze.

Had this been a DU thread you know damn well that George Bush, BP, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and the entire capitalist system would have been blamed for creating the conditions for this unseasonably hot weather.

There's no need for all that drama here. We're all adults and know it's all because it's Summer. Sorta like in a few weeks when the MSM is going to start wailing and flagellating over the ice pack melting and, OMG open water showing in the arctic we'll know it's from the same summer-thing phenomenon. The same one that's happened for billions of years and will continue for billions more after we're all long gone.

It's been in the low 90's the last 3 days. Long range forecast was saying upper 90's next weekend.

I made the mistake of going outside with pants on today.  Big mistake.  Took me long enough to carry my toolbox to my car and get out the jack... I was back inside looking for a pair of shorts and a drink of water.  I've already been through two shirts today.

Oh, and I hate you Mister Yamaguchi, or whoever the hell invented pressed-on rotors.  I put my wheel hub in the oven hoping to heat it up enough to get that damn rotor loose.

Not roasting here (WY).  My furnace is set at 60 and still coming on in the mornings.  Most days are in the 50s and nights in the 30s.  Unusual even for us. 

Lots of rain, and after drought we are happy about it.

Low 90's here again today. Spent the day at the beach with the kids and some family members from out of town who came down for the weekend. It was just ghastly hot, even for being at the beach. And while the ocean felt like warm p*ss water, I did manage to tolerate the heat long enough to give my tan lines a good workout.  :uhsure:

Much the same for tomorrow, if not a touch worse. Mid-90's in the forecast, and I'll be out working in it all day long.  :(

That actually sounds nice.  I'm not a huge fan of 90°+ weather.  Going to be higher than that in a few weeks.
