It was quite hot and even here today!
It was above 90° with strong winds this afternoon, dropped back to 88° now. I have an air conditioner running to keep the temp at around 70° downstairs with the help of my Hunter tripod fan to move the air around and two air conditioners in bedrooms upstairs keeping the temp at 68°. | ||

 It was just beautiful here in NJ today. Although a bit warm, in the low 90's, humidity was very low and there was a lovely breeze. Every window was open in the house and after all the rain we've had for weeks and weeks, it was a pleasant change. My 2 Dominion box fans from 1963 are buzzing away in the windows and it feels great. I washed windows today and put in the A/C in the bedroom so I think that will be running for tonight, not supposed to get below 80. In any case, I love summer so all is good. | ||

Can't we all get along? I'm thinking mid 70's and 40% humidity. I'm just saying... | ||

As if the temp isn't bad enough We also have to have 40 to 50 MPH winds driving the 92 degree temperatures. It's like being in a convection oven. Your garden and lawn dry out instantly almost, and you can't give them a good water because the wind carries the water away.
The wind has been so brutal this weekend, it laid my sunflowers down. my tomatoes are holding on because there are cages around them. The Green peppers were laid over, I am hoping that staking them up will save them.
And to think Dorothy actually wanted to get back to this place.

Dustin, your car's AC might be low on coolant again.
I am parked in the basement of a garage so my car should be just about as cool when I return as when I left it this morning before sunrise. What a blessing! | ||

 90+ again today. I don't do heat well either, particularly with the slightest humidity, and begin sweating like a pig anything over 75. My dad never sweat no matter how hot it got outside and neither does my partner. He doesn't like the a/c on in the house, too bad for him, and never uses it in his car, just drives around with the windows and sunroof open.. Not me I've got the thing going full blast in my car. You can always add clothes if you're feeling the chill with the ac but there's only so much you can remove to stay cool in polite company.. | ||

Phil, Is your Frigidaire air conditioner from around 1972 or so? I had one just like that then. Happy cooling. Gary | ||

115 predicted for this weekend. I knew the 80's & 90's of the past few days were short-lived...curses!
forget about frying eggs on the sidewalk...a 12 pound turkey cooks nicely

Very humid here and 78 at this time. Sun is out now, but has rained heavily off & on most of the day. Same story yesterday, and is expected to do so tomorrow. I hope it will dry out by late tomorrow so I can walk at Spring Grove. Friday is supposed to be sunny and about 90, with cooler and dryer next week. | ||

It spiked to 94° this afternoon with a dew point of 75°. The kind of humidity that suffocates you. Went for a bike ride then came back and was still sweating after my shower. Then the storms rolled in and it's been on and off since. | ||

58 and more rain here today. No heat here. April, May and June so far were not nice to us here. Wished you could send some of that nice dry heat here Joe. I still cant get rid of last falls leaves as it just wont dry out.

Low 90's here, and mostly sunny. As for it being 120 or more, we were in Needles, CA in late July of '72. It was 120 when we got to the motel. They were putting 50 lb. blocks of ice in the pool to cool it off. | ||

The heat wave around here was short lived. Here it is the first day of summer and it's in the low 50's tonight. Barely made it to 70 today. I'd like it a little warmer. Always love those soft summer nights with the windows open. | ||

2 days it hit the 90's since our supposed spring broke and it never hit 90 last year. Its been 1 day nice then rain and then 6 more days of rain for April, May and June so far. I got to mow, come on Mother Nature, enough with this crap and let it dry out. Thankfully we are not getting what comes in on the southern coast. But we get every system from the Atlantic and the west to east and all seem to merge over New England, but it is rarely severe by the time they do, thankfully, just annoying.

 Finally we're getting relief here. We hit triple digits a couple of times over the past week, and most homes around here don't have A/C.
This afternoon the coastal fog came blowing back through the Golden Gate, obscuring the bridge entirely. Yay! Some 45 miles south, a delicious bay breeze is cooling things down tonight and temps should return to normal over the weekend. I still have fans running in key windows because the house needs all the help it can get to cool down.
This was too much too soon, and six out of the last seven nights have been unbearable. For all I care, temps can stay below normal the rest of the summer. I can sum up the past week with one word: brutal. | ||

Brutal...
Yes, it's been rather warm around here lately.
I bought a ticket for Sunday's A's game, where they swept the Yankees 4 games to 0. That was the best part. But the seat I bought was in the sun all afternoon, and it must have hit 100 there. It was so bad you had to cover the seat bottom and back with a shirt or something for half an hour until it got cool enough to sit on. A lot of people with seats in the sun headed upstairs to find empty ones shaded by the balconies above. Today was another scorcher... but it is supposed to cool down tomorrow and into the weekend. When I was younger I used to love hot weather. Now, not so much. Still, being the Bay Area, it's possible to run fans all night and then button up the house in the morning and it stays reasonably cool until the next sundown. I did get a Delonghi portable A/C unit last year, but so far haven't had to set it up. It's when the evenings don't go below 80F that it will get plugged in, just not yet. I expect that may happen around August, which is usually our hottest month. | ||

It is nearly the end of September
And am getting that fed up to the back teeth with having to run the AC!
Temps here haven't been that high (maybe into the 80's during day), but the moistness just won't go away. And contrary to what someone else stated in another thread no, it is not about rain being imminent (we've had very little). Just the constant weather pattern of cyclones/storms causing the jet stream to push all that humid air up from the south. There are times when it is only in the 70's but the humidity is 60% to 85% or more. The constant high dew point levels are causing oneself and other New Yorkers to turn on the AC more to dehumidify indoor air than cool. In fact it creates a problem as thermostats have to be set down to low 70's in order for the AC to even come on that things get rather chilly. Sort of like walking down the frozen food aisle in winter. | ||
