Just a lite question today:

How's the weather?

---------------------------------------------------------------------


We've been in a massive heatwave and it has not been fun at all. I am looking forward to it breaking, hopefully soon.

Well its been very rainy in June and now starting in July. We've gotten I bet almost 8 inches of rain since beginning of June! My gardens and lawn have never looked better.

Not too much in the way of high temps though I think we hit 86F one day. Humidity number are high the past couple of days though but will drop tonite.

It seems that we have 2-3 non rainy days then 3-4 days of rain. Of course since we are so saturated with moisture it only attracts more moisture. I hope this keeps up for the rest of the summer though too many weeds and mosquitos!

I can put it in one word....

HOT!!!!!

It has been between 98-107 here in the past couple of weeks. And I don't have air conditioning in my car. Combined with my hot flashes, I have been miserable!

But add the word HUMID! for our area. I think it is making up for the cooler summer we had last year.

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
FREAKIN HOT! I hate it I cant go outside, its disgusting. I went to pick BF up from work yesterday and it takes 12 minutes. Within that 12 minutes I was soaking wet in my car wishing that I had AC dying to get back home to the AC. Its not supposed to be as deathly hot today as it was yesterday but its still hot enough that I already had Max and Franklin outside for hose baths before it got too hot. Both of them are passed out on their blankie right next to me.

Bleh...

Wish I could move to Northern Alaska. Then if I ever wanted warm weather, I'd just go down to southern Alaska for a day or so and realize why I live in Northern Alaska. For the refreshing cold and lack of allergies.

Yuck. So hot and humid. Although I did go running this morning. It was about 81 degrees, so I figured I'd better go before it got hotter. Dark-ish clouds overhead - I kept wishing it would start raining while I was running - that would have been very refreshing. There was a cool breeze towards the end, as I was running along the Hudson River. All the grass is brown, though. We really need rain!

Disgustingly hot and humid here. 31C right now, supposed to get to 32. The last couple days the temperature has gotten higher than what the weather network has said.

Pretty standard Mojave desert summer.
90f currently, 116f for the expected high, that's pretty much the entire summer forecast with the exception of monsoon season here in a few weeks.

At least its dry, 9% humidity.

Its been at least 89-92 for the last 5 days!! I have so much outside work to do and inside, but I just can't do it.

Everything you do is sweat inducing. I don't leave the windows open when we go to bed, but I get up at 3am and open everything, put fans in the windows to draw in coolish air. Then about 9 am, I close it all up again. So far it has stayed about 10-13 degrees cooler inside. You can't hear what is being said for all the fans running!

Tomorrow, rain, FINALLY!
Even my perenials are wilting. Have to water twice a day.

All I want is to be able to accomplish something. Weekend looks good.

Comfortable here - low 80's and less humidity then we've had the past few days - weekend is looking nice too (chance of rain on Sunday).

The weather here is so horrible I can barely stand it. Hot and humid and disgusting, a freaking typical summer. I have had horrid headaches and been sick to my stomach a few tunes. The summer just affects me this way and that's why I hate it so much. I just can't wait till it's over since this has been a really bad one so far. I am so looking forward to the Fall and much cooler weather, that's my favorite season, I feel so much better then.

Thankfully it's only been these last 2 days that it's been like this. We leave tomorrow (we got here last Fri.) and have to head out into the rain on the way home
