After a couple of 90+ F days. 81 in SW PA. 74 at the camp/mancave.
I think I have Arizona version of cabin fever around 100 every day for 2 weeks, and we are 2 weeks away from the rainy season. Spending way to much time in the AC. Last year at this time I was out on the Horseshoe II fire for 45 days/nights, sleeping under the stars and eating well. I forgot about the heat of June.
Don't you have your schedule reversed? I thought you guys came south in the winter and spent the summers 'up nort'...This is our first summer in our new home in Arizona. Yes, it has been really hot recently. Over 100 every day for pretty well the whole month. Came down last week from Alberta where the highs were in the 40's or 50's. Talk about a shock!
Just got back from a 60 mile bike ride. Bright sunshine, brilliant blue sky and just cool enough that it was slightly chilly at times up in the mountains and on a 5 mile, 2000' descent back to the Bay. In other words just another typical day in coastal California.

W2R, from what I see on The Weather Channel, you will be gettng wet soon. Sounds like Debby will take a turn west and head right at you. It's really nasty here as I am right on the eastern band of the storm. Down town areas of Tampa and St. Pete/Clearwater are really getting soaked. We got some nice rain (needed) and it's windy but really just brushing us as we are about 10 miles east of Tampa. Get the buckets ready.

Things have really gotten bad in central Florida area. I spoke too soon when I told W2R we were just getting a needed rain and some wind. It's gotten worse since I posted that. The storm has intensified and numerous tornados have been reported with one death reported in Lake Placid which is more toward the center of the state.
St. Pete, Clearwater and points north are getting hammered by winds and rain.
Largo has received 9.5" in the past 24 hours. Flooded roads and stranded vehicles being reported not far from the apartment.
That's a lot of rain! Hope your apartment is not in danger of flooding.
