As all the Texans have said - it is literally burning up.
I, along with many others, have been seriously
praying for rain and for this horrible ridge of high
pressure that has camped on top of us for going on
two months to move. Like others have said, yesterday
was 109 and today about the same. There seems to
be no foreseeable change for the next several weeks
unless God Himself does something. I really feel for
those of you that are in areas where it is usually not
hot like this. I know you are not used to it and it
must be really difficult. We are used to it, but this
summer is the worse one in my recollection. Over 100
for going on two months and not one drop of rain!

I am in TX -- used to be an area of semi-swamps (45 in. of so of rain per year) -- but we are going through a cycle of less rain, but this is ridiculous: I'm watching the tropics hoping for something to come this way in the Gulf -- lol -- and I'm spending a lot of time watering my flowerbeds and yard (we are still on voluntary water rationing -- but for how long?) -- enjoy your cool weather!

its 105 in the sun but not to get above 85today here. I have the air on because I'm sweating from running up and down the basement stairs washing humming bird feeders and filling them.

I'm in Michigan and went out to find it just a bit chilly at 70 degrees, too. Quite an enjoyable change from the heat and humidity. I really hadn't been able to get the house comfortable for me even with air conditioning and fans on me.

All I'm asking for is perfect weather! How hard it that?

I know what you mean, I felt chilly when I went out to get the morning paper (S. Indiana)

Here in OK it has been extremely hot (112 the other day - most days at least 104). Anyway, I was talking to my son about it. He said well, just think mom, when I was in Iraq, it was 130 temp and we were carrying/wearing 50 lbs. of gear. That humbled me. I remember thinking of him over there and how miserable he must be. So when I get to feeling gripy about the heat, I think of our soldiers who are over there, no AC, no cold water most of the time, and wearing all that gear.

As most of you know, Oklahoma is baking. So far it has been the hottest summer on record. Monday, as I went to the Vet, the time/temp sign registered 116 degrees and then my DH and I went to Golden Corral for supper, got back in the truck and my thermometer registered 119 degrees, at 6:15 in the evening. BTW...all our *official readings are taken in the shade*.

Today it is supposed to reach a high of 110 but right now, it is only 93 degrees!!!! A wonderfully perfect summertime day! Our normal is 94. I hope it stays like this but I know it won't.

Ah, yes... I remember 88... well, I ALMOST remember 88, but it was a long time ago. <G> Temperature here: hot and hotter. No relief in sight. And my daughter in Florida tells me it's been raining every day there. Where's the justice???
