This has been such a hot summer! Whew. Is it hot where you live?
Here, it is insanely hot (which is how we know it is New Orleans in July! ). The temperatures shown by Wunderground (below) are a little higher than the official temperatures, but still, gosh. Opening the door to go outside, feels like opening the door to an oven. I am so glad to have my new AC system which keeps things nice and cool inside.
Oh well, at least there aren't any hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico at the moment...

Note the "feels like" temperature.
I just waked the dog for a 1/2 hour here in Houston and we are both done in.

Not too bad here, 86° a little humid but not too bad. Forecast is for warmer later in the week ~90° but I'm fine with that. Saturday we're going over to my cousin's grandson's house and fly R/C airplanes, last time we were rained out.

It's an insane 71°F here right now. The next week is 50° for a low and 80° F high with a chance of rain. Some infrequent clouds. We've used our AC three times this year for part of the day. I hope it rains more.

Hot as can be in FLA, but we do love it. In the summer, one rarely has to look at the forecast. 91 humid and some rain.

A "feels like" of 133. That's up there. In Chicago, people freak out when the "feels like" hits 100.

You bet!
Hopefully we're below zero F and have snow. A lot of snow! The kind they report in feet.

It's down to 100 today from 118 last week in SoCal. Our pool water temperature is a balmy 88 degrees. We have been out swimming every night this past week.

I think it broke 90 in Tacoma today, but summers are dry here, so not so bad. I hated those midwestern, muggy, buggy, stifling summers as a child.

I'm just checking the thermometer ... 73, after topping out today at 83. But humidity is up. I think we can expect some rain.

Lots of 90s and high humidity this summer in Southern Ontario. Had to come to Africa to escape it... highs in the mid-50s and lows in the high 40s this week. We could see our breath yesterday morning.

Yikes! That is SO HOT. Ice water, anybody?
We have been having cloudy weather and rain off and on lately, so our temperatures are lower. Today's high was 95F, with a 40% chance of rain.

Nearly perfect here, 85°, clear skies with a few puffy clouds, low humidity. I'm savoring it because I know that in eight months, weather-wise I'm going to be hating life.

We enjoyed a couple of weeks in the low to mid 90s with quite a bit of rain. Now back to "normal" July temps of 101, 103 with maybe a 105 day in the near future.
At least the wind picked back up.

Temps in the mid 90's and humdity in the high 80's. Every afternoon we get a storm with rain. When mowing my grass the other day I had sweat dripping off the brim of my cap. I'm looking forward to a trip to CO next month.

Wow! Is this the same thread that started with "it's too cold" here? LOL Seriously, I really noticed the less than wonderful weather more now in retirement than when w*rking.
