Just curious....how is the weather in your neck of the woods?

I probably wouldn't mind the heat that much if I had a sweaty girlfriend to cling to

106F currently. It dried out for a few days though the chance of rain increases in a couple days. So far, the monsoons have been a bust. There have been a few strong, very isolated storms that made more headlines than rain. If this continues, we're right back into extreme drought.

Peaked at 108F today.

Only got to 105 here. But we made up for the heat by getting 0.17 inches of rain in July and the forecast has a 24% chance of rain on August 15th!

If he could afford one you think he'd be here with us?

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Ugh 103 at 7:30. One of the things I usually enjoy is going out at 8PM to water my herbs, peppers, and veggies because it's has dropped to 100 by then usually. Doesn't look likely today. Maybe I'll put on a headlamp and go water at 9:30.

Affording isn't the real issue but rather the upkeep...

My two choices are, spend the rest of my life here all alone or retreat to a beautiful countryside with a nice girl but give up all tech because there might be no electricity and no internet there.

Third one, where a woman with a job suddenly materializes in front of me and tells me that she can't imagine her life without me, is NOT happening. Well, at least, based on my 42 years of life experience.

 

[Red Squirrel]

10C right now. About on par for August night weather. The days have been in the low 20's.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Last year was the summer from hell for San Antonio, hottest ever recorded here with the hottest May, hottest June, hottest July, and hottest month ever recorded in San Antonio. Had a record three excessive heat warnings. This year we have had something like ten excessive heat warnings, have another one tomorrow, and then Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are all forecast to be hotter than tomorrow. JFC we're following up the worst summer ever recorded here with one that has a very good chance to be even worse once our summer is over in a month and a half. The peaks we have already had are far worse than anything we had last year, which was the most miserable summer I had ever seen in 35 years living in the area. With a little more than a month and a half of summer left we're 20 days from setting the record for most 100 degree days in a year. And while we're usually out of the 100 degree weather by the third week of September, you can see decent counts of 100 degree days in the first couple of weeks of September in some years. Already have 100+ forecast for the next 12 days with two days of 98 to round out the two week forecast.

You just need to let your...d*ck drag on the ground behind you when you walk around. Teh wimmenz will take notice. Trust me.

Low 80s, 40% RH pretty nice. Had a wicked migraine, so I'm just getting outside now.

 

[igor_kavinski]

I'm 42 but walking in this weather, I was feeling 70+ old.

 

[MrSquished]

80's during the day. 76 currently. Not humid. It was sunny during the day but got cloudy in the early evening but with no chance of rain.

Which made it a lovely evening for a 630 picnic in central Park, then an 8pm showing of Hamlet at Shakespeare in the Park. Modern somewhat interpretive version that took place in Atlanta. Would normally not be into Shakespeare but this was quite good. Then a lovely long walk with a first kiss.

That's the kind of nice weather I'm talking about. Now to walk the dog in it shortly.

Looks like a storm with severe hail and possible tornado is headed this way. It's only halfway through the state though so it will be a while before it gets here. Maybe the mountains will weaken it or it will brush to our south or north. It looks like it's merging with another storm.

According to my sister, bill gate created this storm.

Damn...she got access to the uber-secret reports?

Better notify security.

 

[Stiff Clamp]

Getting drier and drier. Tomorrow morning is the first imminent chance of rain in weeks. If it doesn't pan out, we get another uninterrupted week of dryness. At least it's not hitting 100 F today like it has.

Bill Gates - if you're reading this, Texas needs you. k?

Ugh in the San Antonio area we're not seeing any hope of rain until the 17th or so. Just gonna be a straight 104-105 until then. Except today I guess since it's 106. Getting really tired of these extended stretches of 104+ which were unheard of in San Antonio until this year. Even the summer of 2011 which the corporate media blamed for beef prices shooting to hell (and never coming back down) didn't have these kind of extended stretches of 104+ like we're seeing this year.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Ugh, our daily highs as measured at the airport, one of the coolest weather stations in town:

August 1st: 102
August 2nd: 102
August 3rd: 101
August 4th: 105
August 5th: 104
August 6th: 105
August 7th: 105
August 8th: 105
August 9th: 106
August 10th: 106

Our next week's forecast

In a city where the record for most days of 105+ in a year was set last year: at four. This forecast would take us to 17 this year.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Ugh our seventh day in a row of 105+.

 

[A///]

sweltering. i thought i'd kill two birds with one stone this evening and mixed up a liter of organic coconut water with a half liter of vodka for a weekend or a daytime's worth of cocktails over ice. bloody revolting flavor. out of lemons and limes which might improve this crap. I don't like wasting perfectly good alcohol or coconut water I'll force myself to drink this slop.

this is why I stick with wine, it goes well with everything. even the delicious crab lenguine I made with the remainder of my whatever white I was sipping on this morning.

obviously cannot drive in this state but feel very functional, though not about to walk over to a neighbours in a mildly or incredible state and ask for some lemon lime like some lunatic. as far as they know I'm an upstanding member of the community.

Damn...I might actually sweat! (humidity will be relatively high as well)

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Today for the second time in a little more than a month we have climbed to #2 on the list for most consecutive days of 100+ in San Antonio, at 15. Will most likely beat the current record of 21 straight.

 

[Iron Woode]

All of August so far has been very nice here. 23C - 25C everyday with varying amounts of humidity. We are seeing rain about once a week.

So far, it has been one of the best summers in decades here.

We had a bit of a cooldown too; only got to 104F = 40C today in San Antonio.

Living in some of the places I have I've become acustomed with 40c weather. Every few years if I fancy going back "home" for a few weeks in late summer it might pop into the high 30s and I'll find it lovely while the locals will be sucking down ice lollies all day long.

I've been outside most of today doing some moving of some stuff and sucking down the water. I've spent upwards of 8 minutes at the lav emptying my bladder. The pains of doing work outside in the summer and drinking fluids all day long. there's enough urine to change the water level in the bowl!
