So! How hot is it in your neck of the woods?

A cool 104 today in my Little Land O' Enchantment.




How about where you live?

We have had an amazingly cool summer. We're halfway thru July and have had two days above 90 degrees. The norm is every day above 90 degrees beginning in June.

It's a scorching 76° and sunny, thank you. The sun will "set" at about 11:15 tonight, rising again before 5:00 am tomorrow.

Ours is around 10-20%.

60f at the moment, going to 75f which is about as warm as it's going to get any time soon.

The humidity is what kills this place. I dunno, maybe it is about 400%? This one time I was at a book shop out in Seattle (where they have gorgeous weather, don't believe the hype) and I saw a guy lugging around all these guidebooks to Washington DC. I said, "Hey, I'm from there. Are you planning a trip?" He says, "Yes! We're thinking of going in August. You don't think it will be too hot and humid then, do you?" I was like, "Uh...yeah, better pack a sweater."

Summer finally broke out last weekend. It's been 75-80 and sunny all week here on the Cape, after a cold, rainy and windy June.

This has been coolest wettest summer of my life, I think. I'm not complaining though, I hate the high heat and humidity usual for this time of year. The local flies and whatever flying annoyances have gone nuclear out here. Venturing outside is like walking through a war zone like some gallumping Gulliver.

I have a second cat living on my porch. If I leave the remains of his wet food out there for three minutes after he's done with it, the flies have laid maggots in the bowl. Maggots are really sticky, too. I have to rinse it outside with the hose. Nothing could be more vile.

I think I've used my AC maybe 4 times this year, and this is the first day I set it on timer (it's a hot, muggy day in NYC). Luckily I was in sunny London the wettest week in NY last month.

We had a relatively cool June...in the 80s. But July has more than made up for it: High 90s and triple digits all month.


Projected high today is 108; low 71. With bad air quality.


We have to run the AC 24-7 this time of year. Ugh.

groover and I share the same weather.

I finally needed to put the air conditioning on yesterday after a long run with no heat or A/C. Prior to that I only needed it twice (once in the April heat wave).

It's been a 100 plus for 2 weeks (at least) straight but finally getting a little break starting today. Par for the course, though, this time of year.

This time of year I'm not too crazy about the San Joaquin Valley either.
