The temps have been really out of wack here the last couple of years. Earlier this year, we had some like low 90s back in March/April IIRC, and I just knew it was going to be hotter than ever this summer, except it didn't get really hot until the last week or so (and it really hasn't been that terribly bad, just compared to the mid 80s/low 90s we'd been having). Of course we'll probably have 80 degree weather into late October again. This past winter we would get like week long spurts of like 60 degree weather when in the past we'd be 40 or below.

:music: I walk around in the summer time saying how 'bout this heat. :music:

San Diego hit record temps today. It was 109 in my backyard and 116 at my girl's place. It's fairly humid too which makes life miserable. Good thing we have the beach a few minutes away

In Central Mississippi it's hot and extremely humid in the high 90s every July and August so I haven't noticed anything different down here. I hate cold weather so I never complain about it. I probably would if I had to work outside, though.

I hate to admit it but I'm actually starting to get surprised. It's the humidity that surprises me more than anything else though. Heat waves come and go but I don't remember it being so humid in Southern California.

It's in the 100's. My apt is in the 110-120 F range. My cat is really pissed off.

Earthquake weather?

Oh btw, I as at the beach today and the weather was perfect. A couple miles inland though it's in the 100's. It's almost extreme.

We had a power outage a couple of hours ago. No A/C, no fans. Ended up driving around in my car and turning on its A/C. Probably consumed a lot of gas ($3.25/gal here). :(

Global warming...we're all fvcked.

Shhh...don't Say E-weather...not even in jest...;)


The humidity has been up here in Nor Cal too. Not bad compared to what the eastern part of the country gets, but high for us here. Gonna be a scorcher tomorrow. I was outside at 1 AM, and it was still 88. VERY unusual...

It wasn't a very hot summer until a week and a half ago, here in WNY. Still isn't any hotter than usual though, IMO.

113 today!! I just walked outside and could only handle 30 seconds. I walk back into my apt and it's like I'm walking into a walk-in fridge.
