Another hot and humid day here in Jersey. Has to be too hot here as DH, who hates AC, even left it on overnight. I was planning to run some errands and do some food shopping before it gets too hot out, ouch when getting into the car even though I leave the sunblocker over the windshield. Think I'll whip up something from the fridge/freezer, maybe potatoes, peppers, onions and eggs, tomatoes on the side and some Italian bread. Sounds good to me that way I can sew instead of going shopping. May in Jersey

Today it is suppose to top near 100 with high humidity. Air quality is reaching code red, as it did yesterday. Heat index 105 to 110 this afternoon. Piedmont of North Carolina (Charlotte area) Blessings to all, Sandi |
In coastal south Texas, it will be between 95 and 100 again today. We are very fortunate though, since we live close to the coast. Each afternoon the sea breeze comes in and makes the heat bearable. I grew up in San Antonio and there was NO sea breeze, just heat and humidity.

I love where I live!!! |
Here in Spain its around 80. Starts of cool in the morning but by 1pm its hot hot hot. Still nice balmy evenings though. Hottest time here is August when it gets up to over 100, well last year it did, but its hit the high way before it usually does- Its hotter in the middle of Spain, They call it the melting pot and thats Madrid. All the big Companies close down for the whole of August, so forget trying to get any thing. This I think is what is called Global Warming.

THANK GOD FOR SUMMER! I live in PA and we had the third worst recorded snowfall winter. It was awful...give me sunshine and warm weather! I cant even stand the thought of winter coming :(.

It has been hot and humid the past couple of days, upper 80's near 90. A cold front passed through this evening and we should be dry and near 80 tomorrow and for the weekend. Give me fall weather any day. I do not like the heat anymore. I think I must have been a polar bear in a previous life! Oh, and the hot flashes are not helping any either!!!! :-D

Seems to be hot everywhere. How about Alaska? Do we have any quilters up north. How to stay cool. Crank up the air, put in White Christmas and sing along with Bing! WEorks for me.

Hi, we are in Oklahoma and its absolutely miserable here. Yesterday it was 98 with heat index of 107. I open the door and my air is shut off. Glad it was a little cooler today (about 5 degrees) as I had to take hubby in for surgery. He is home and fine. But right back up tomorrow. Electric bill will need help from my banker. haha

and could make them. the good ones to buy cost $23.95 for 2/w shipping. The ones at WM, the innards come right thru the fabic after a couple of uses. Midge |
I am so hot & tried of running the A/C & already a high elec. bill, I could just scream. Ya get out of the shower & before you get your makeup on & hair dried you are dripping sweat! Ugh! I am just cranky. I'm also in full agreement that those crazy hot flashes are for the pits! Why don't men have to enjoy those suckers? DH even asked me if I would like for us to go away to the Mountains somewhere for a few days. I asked him, "Where do you suggest, as it is just hot all over the darned place?" Yep I am just cranky & crabby. LOL I want FALL. Love that Season!

Actually if you want hot summers come to South Texas and we also have high humidity. I stay inside or in the car most of the time. But we have very mild winters. We had one frost in Galveston last winter, if it gets down in the 40's we think it's freezing. |
Try dabbing some cool water behind your ears and a cool wash cloth around the back of your neck. When I lived in NW Arizona I'd keep a damp wash cloth in the freezer!! It will help with some of the heat.
|
Heat index has been over 100 degrees here in Louisiana, too.
|
Indiana has been hot in the high 80 low 90's with heat index high
|
what is the humidity ?
|
All I know is that it feels like it's Zimbawe hot here in OKC!!! And I don't have air conditioning, only fans!!! SEND ICE!!!
|
Living in the Kuwait is tough at this time of year we have average temperatures of 115. Fortunately everything is airconditioned. We spend very little time outdoors which gives me plenty of time to quilt.
|
We are having a heat wave in Middle Tennessee as well, and lots of nasty humidity to go with the heat. I struggled with the idea of putting in a new a/c unit (there is a great reason for that) but thank goodness that we did, I who never gets warm and barely breaks a sweat am just a little warm I have to say. UGH!!! is right.
|
You sound like my DH! He'd live in summer all of the time, I believe. But give me the winter any day. Just don't do heat well at all!
|
yesterday wasn't so bad today you can't breath when you go by the door. it is like you are breathing in water.........................I WAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNTTTTTTTT winter. give me snow and ice and the cold.
|
It's probably 92 here is Longwood Fl but I really don't know. I dont't go out there until after sundown lol. I just sew and quilt inside with my children (doggies) the go out but run back quick lol.
|
It hit 100 in Baltimore yesterday!
|
HELP HELP this heat is killing me!!!!!!!!!
|
WOW! Where are you? Is that in the states?
|
Cruised to AK about 5 years ago.... The weather was 70's and beautiful in August! It's nice to have the memories.
|
In Brigham City we started at 57 degrees. Blue sky, slight breeze and dry. Should get up into the higher 80's by 4:00, but will be back in the 70's by bedtime. Perfect picnic, play around, gardening weather. We try to stay in between 11:00 and 3:00, but by 4:00 it is cooling and the shade is getting larger.
We seem to have perfect weather here, all four seasons. Nothing really lasts so long you get totally wrung out. It really does change about every 3 months. |
Gwyn that sounds wonderful! We had 101 on Saturday, 99 Sunday, 97 today, but a "cold front" comes through tomorrow and we may be down to the mid 80's for a few days. This is usually our August weather, but it's come early this year. So much for working outside taming my jungle of a back yard.. *sigh*
|
Lori: This year all of our weather is starting late and lasting longer than ever before. I have been here when it snowed on July 4th. I've also seen it be very hot and humid. The Tsunami in Japan a couple years ago was actually so strong it changed the earth's axis by 3 degrees. The weather man told us to expect changes and that it may take several years to get a regular pattern again.
We also have trouble keeping up with the weeds and grass, but at least it cools off in the morning and evening. ONly unbearable in the afternoon. |
