I did manage to tolerate the heat long enough to give my tan lines a good workout.  :uhsure:

Was 85 here this morning before 10...and we actually had blue skies all afternoon.

I too, worked on the tan lines.  :-) Tan lines are gone, but have a bit of a "redneck". .... or is that "redneck-ette"?

Made the mistake of doing yard work and washing the car shirtless on Saturday.

Now I look like this:




At least it'll tan out in a couple of days so I don't look like a ghost.

Close to 100 predicted until the end of time, or as long as the NOAA forecast goes.  DAMN!

90 the past 2 days (and nice and humid, too!) with same predicted for today.  Storm system coming through Tuesday/Wednesday, so it'll drop off to mid-70's, then back up to low-80's for the next week.

We're in the 90 until Thursday...when thunderboomers are expected.

It's summertime in the South! Thank you, God, for air conditioning.

Ultimately, He is responsible. But from a more terrestrial standpoint, thank Willis Carrier. In my opinion, AC is one of the most important inventions of the 20th Century. Phoenix, Houston, and Las Vegas would be nothing but cowtowns without the invention, and of course computing in general couldn't have been developed to the point that it has, as early micro-electronic development required cold environments.

Went to Cape May on Sat, beautiful day!!  Unfortunately we got a bit scorched between beachtime and hanging out on the dock (late lunch/early dinner) at the Lobster House. Oh well, it was worth it!  Worked in the garden on Sunday and it was approx. 90 and humid but at least everything is weeded and fed.  And, we have started getting tomatoes (and beans and peas).  Today it's 90 again . . .

Well, crud.  Cursed myself.  It hit 84 today.  Cooling off now so I wonder if we'll get hail. 

There was a tornado in Billings, MT (100 miles north of here) yesterday.  That almost never happens.

Same here. 85 at 9:45 with a real feel close to 100. Un-freakin-bearable. It is just flat out hot. June is usually milder. Can't wait for August.  :censored:

We're wondering the same here. 

At least they have finally changed the start of the school year. The last several years, the teachers have gone back around the 3rd of August, with the kids starting around the 10th. This year, the teachers are going back on the 10th and the kids start on the 17th. The kids are still gong to be out May 25th. Don't know how they have figured out the change.

High today was 95.

Mid to upper 90's for the next three days, dropping to a chilly 89 on Friday, then back up to the mid 90's until next Tuesday. Ugh. It might even be too hot to go out on the boat.   :banghead:

Never too hot for the boat!! We are going FRiday. As long as the boat is going, the breeze is enough to keep it tolerable. However, it will feel like 110 here, so we will be going fast on the boat, or I'll be tubing! Can't wait!!

We are planning a trip from the Peninsula here over to Tangier Island to do some flounder fishing. A light wind, maybe 3-4 knots, to keep us trolling would be perfect for fishing, but not so perfect for keeping us cool. I'll suffer and bear the heat in order to reel in that 25 incher that has been teasing my line every damn time I've been out.

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?
No...not here in Oregon.
As a matter of FACT, this is the very first time in history that moonbat-commie-anarchist central, Eugene, Oregon has NOT been over 80 degrees before the first day of summer, June, 21.

Besides, the south has ALWAYS been hot!

Holy cow it's hot. :fuelfire: :fuelfire: I'm not used to it any more.

Back in the Georgia mountains we'd hit 90-95 maybe in late July, early August. Even then, that would be the peak temperature and we'd only get a couple of days like that. We were usually in the mid 80s. At night we'd get down to the low 60s. We're hitting 90s by 11 AM here in southern OK, and it's staying in the 90s until the sun goes down. It was still 80 degrees at midnight.

That's what we're getting over here in E TN. Sunday it was 96, broke a record.

We were spoiled last summer, we only had a couple of days that it hit 90.....for the last couple of weeks, we are hitting 90 everyday.

Ah well, this too, shall pass......in the meantime, I'll just sit here and "glow" like a proper South'n Lady.... :-)

For the most part, the weather has been fairly average, but I'm getting frustrated with the constant up and downs.  We'll have a couple days in the 90's, then a couple days in the low 70's.  Average for this time of year is mid-80's, which I tend to think is pretty perfect.

It's only 79 this morning, but there is constant rolling thunder and a steady hard rain coming down.

You mean the one that you're going to filet and put in the freezer for the next time I come down?

Wonderful weather. Mid 90's and lows at night right at 55-60. Supposed to be cooler tomorrow, but with a slight warm up toward the weekend. As an added plus it is, as usual, DRY, humidity almost never breaks 20-25%. The weather people here think we might break a record..................................no 100's all year.

Was supposed to have a 1-day cooldown tomorrow.

Just checked Intellicast.  So much for that idea.  85 and thunderstorms.  Be fun trying to sleep tomorrow morning.  Thank goodness for dehumidifiers.

Seeing as how I have lived in the deep south all of my life, I am fully aware of how hot it gets. However, it isn't usually this hot in June.
