God I hate summer

No one likes summer. They say they do cause they think that's what they're supposed to say, but when you break it down, people don't like anything that makes summer, summer.
 
Hey, look at the bright side... summer hasn't even started yet!

But I choose not to live in Texas... for many reasons.

Jeez, our low didn't even get to 79. Our low this morning was 81 with a dew point of 80 for 97% humidity. Even now in the hot part of the day our dew point is 77. This is unreal having a 77 dewpoint this time of day. That's like what the dewpoint would be at 3AM when we had an extremely humid summer night and thick cloud cover.
 
It's been remarkably cool here this year. I think there's been two days that broke 80°. Usually we have 80s starting in April, and full time 80s starting in June.
 
Forgot we also have hazardous air quality today thanks to a ton of smoke from farmers burning their fields in Mexico. So high heat, insanely over the top humidity, and smog that looks like the worst of 1990s LA.
 
That converts to 37C 😱 That's brutal.

We're barely having any summer this year, we had a short heat wave of +30's a few weeks back which started a bunch of forest fires and now that I am off all week we're into +10 range with rain and has been that way all week. Suppose to warm up next week but I'll be working all week... always seems to be how it goes.

Heat index is 49.4C right now (121F) and there is still an hour of warming left in the day

Figured we'd get a break in San Antonio being an El Nino summer after three years of brutal La Nina including our hottest summer ever recorded last year, but...

Last year's summer was indeed brutal for you. Looks like the rest of the week is supposed to be 104-106. Yikes! (My daughter lives there and I keep the daily SA weather forecast on my phone.)

104-106 is brutal but usually when that hits dewpoints are in the mid to high 50s so it's not as terrible as this heat wave is going to be. Our dewpoints have been 77-80 all day.
 
Temps have topped out in the upper 70's (f) here (CT) for the most part so far and most days have been kind of cool actually.

Nights have been borderline chilly in the upper 40's to low 50's. Have not even considered installing my AC yet.
 
This is the current reading from my personal weather station. I'm sitting about 3 feet from an open sliding door onto the upper deck, without even a screen. Birds are still singing, squirrels are bitching, and it is lovely.

I like spring and fall. I hate the humidity that comes with summer more than summer itself. It's kind of a toss-up between mowing and shoveling snow.

Edit to add: El Nino is the hot one and La Nina is cold.

For Texas and the southeastern US La Nina is when we get drought and lots of heat, El Nino is typically cooler and rainier since it brings the jet stream south vs when its north for La Nina it favors creation of high pressure ridges here. We had a pretty rainy spring and it was downright comfortable with highs in the 80s until a week or so ago.
 
Lets face it... with climate-change the weather forecasters ARE really just guessing!

"Trends" they can do and 48-72 hours ahead more precisely okay maybe .... any more than that is asking too much.
