Hot enough for you?

Supposedly, Halifax's summer is supposed to end in the middle of August. David Phillips from Environment Canada says that BC and Nova Scotia will experience cooler than normal temperatures for August and September.

All I say is bring on the Fall, because it's my favourite season. Can't wait to go to Cabot Trail and Glooscap come October. I hate the summer.
 
For virtually the entire month of July, it rained here in East Texas. Suddenly, the rain's stopped for the most part and Old Man Weather is deciding to punish us with extra humidity (on top of what we've come to expect). It freaking sucks outside.

After I got over my usual fear of potentially brushing up against a living creature in the water, I had a lot of fun.

That's the fun part. I like it when minnows think my leg hairs are worms and they come up and nip at them. It tickles.

Yes, it's hot. It's also August on the Plains. It's also the first time in memory that we haven't officially registered 100° on the thermometer yet. We usually hit that in late May or early June, but we haven't hit 100° yet.
Gonna get close this week, though, with highs forecast at 98° all week.
I don't know how those cavalry guys made it through this what with all those wool uniforms and such.
 
Up until the last week or so, it really hadn't been too bad down here in the Gulf South. Really, it hadn't. 90-degree temps, but not too much humidity.
Then Mother Nature turned into a mother****er.
Walked out of the office at 12:30 a.m. Saturday night and it was still in the low 80s with 90 percent humidity. My glasses fogged up when I walked out of the building. This morning, same deal. At 6 a.m. it was already 78 degrees with 61 percent humidity. Supposed to be 93 or so this afternoon, and the heat index will certainly top 100.
Thank God for air conditioning. I can't even imagine living back in the 1800s. Not how people survived, but how they didn't stink to high heaven since bathing was not an every day occurrence.

A buddy of mine is heading to Halifax and Charlottetown for a week on Aug. 13. I am so ****ing jealous....

BTW, I'm totally fine with this. Sure beats freezing ass winter.

But I can put on a mock, fleece or jacket of some sort in the winter. Can't peel skin when it's hotter than hell.

Sam, that's so the southern thinking and I like it. ;) ... Can't stand the high heat. Give me cold any day. But, then again, I've never had to deal with blizzards - just ice storms.
 
Hard to believe, but DFW has yet to record a 100-degree day this summer.

Something shifted in the wind today because the humidity is lower. Must be getting it off the Hill Country instead of the Gulf. But thst means the temp is going to rise.

I feel for you Huggy. :D
 
Today's predicted high temperature in Mysteryville, according to the Weather Channel: 104.

Seriously, what the **** is 104? That's a theory. That's a setting on the water heater. That's a heat index on a hot day.

And I have to be outside at 2:30 this afternoon. I'ma gonna DIE.

It only reached 62 here yesterday. Might make it up to 65 today.

Lucky *******.;D

Our air conditioner broke over the weekend, and we went without air condition in the office Monday and Tuesday. Sweltering heat. 100°, heat index of 110°. Just absolutely brutal. The a/c got fixed late yesterday evening, and today it is tolerable.
 
We seem to be getting a little break today ... either that or the A/C in the office hasn't realized the temp isn't as high as it was the last week and I'm cooling the outdoors now.

I've had my window wide open for about an hour now ... and we've been in the mid-90s with 77-degree dew points.
 
I thought about taking the canoe up to the lake and going for a swim, but it's just too hot. Can you believe that? Too hot to go swimming. Next week the high is supposed to cool down to the lower 90's.

i'll freakin' buy that.
 
It will be Friday, according to the radio here, it'll be 106 with a heat index of 114. I'm not leaving the office all day.
 
It's probably 120 or so on the subway platforms here. Or whatever temperature at which chewing gum melts on concrete, anyway. And humid.
 
it's 75 this second in portland, ore., with a heat index of 75.
