It Is HOT Out There!!

[trottigy]

First, I want to say, I am thankful I recently moved out of Las Vegas to cool Central Coast California. Why you ask?

Imagine taking the day's LOW and HIGH, adding them together and dividing by 2 for an average and still coming out with a 96.5° F Number!!!! 

 

 

As they say - "stay frosty my friends".

[Dages]

Ha, we have 35/36C (96F) this week... 

[trottigy]

Is that the high or the average?

Basically the temperature from 10am to 9pm
It's going to be cooler... though.

On the other hand, it Osaka, that's going to continue for many days, with the infamous 100% humidity

Today's temps between those times (looks like a light rain tonight):

It's strange how California didn't get hot until you showed up. 

 

BTW, my central air condition compressor failed last week. We need a completely new system, and it isn't cheap

Our first day here was the first time they had 104 in SLO - CRAZY. It must have followed us!!! 

 

OR, the planet is warming - you decide .......

I spent a good part of my childhood in vegas, from 94-2002ish. My mom worked at the Sands then at the Rio.

 

We moved to SC, and let me tell you... You think Vegas is bad... Nononono. My friend come visit the south east. Its upper 90s here but i'll gladly take those 110+ vegas days over this

After hours of meditation and considering evidence about global warming, I go with the first sentence… LOL 😂

In Oct 1988 we were in Vegas visiting family who were Mormons(no relevance to story).  As we were pioneering and travelling around USA for 4 months our custom was service each morning and sight see in the afternoon.  Well it was so hot we managed around an hour door to door then went to the closest shopping complex and sat in the air conditioning.

Vegas year round heat sounds much like Darwin here in NT Australia.  Though Vegas is dry heat Darwin is high humidity.

I live in the DC Metro area and it's been a record breaking 104. The last time it's been this hot was back in 1988. I've never experienced this level of heat.

Man, you sure are gonna have a hard time gambling now.🤣

 

I understand wanting  to get away from the  heat. Texas is hot! However , this has been a mild and not too bad spring- summer. So I guess for us in Texas to enjoy mild temps other parts of the country have to burn under high pressure heat domes. Yikes

We have had a first this year. Most of my flowers have been killed by the heat. Even the blooming cactus had to be put in the shade. It’s never been that hot in the 40 years or so we have live here. I

There was a deer in a friend’s yard, in the shade of a tree, panting away.

If we didn’t have plenty of water, it would be desperate times.

It's boomin' freezin' 'ere in Blighty.

 

Been an absolutely pants summer so far.

 

Cloud cover pretty much every day. Still too cold most days to go out without a woolie.

 

🤣

Visiting my family in Wallkill, I went out this morning to 60 degrees, enjoying it while we can.

[BLEmom]

We’ve finally had rain. We got into the severe drought category. Everything was looking brown. That’s abnormal for the southeast. Saturday service in the heat is basically barely an hour before everyone is ready for a break.

Corn fields are everywhere around here.  They have huge machines to harvest the corn.  This year a lot of the corn is all dried up.  The plants are not green as usual.  It is going to be a poor harvest this year.

40°C (104°F) to 42.7°C (109°F)

[Ahuvah]

So yeah Aussie temps. 😄 🤣

Our winter this year has been a cracker.  The last couple of weeks its like spring.  Blue sky, sun shining and around the low 20sC during the day.  Nights get down to around 8-10C.  Plants are flowering early.  We could do with some rain.
