94° in the shade, and 88% humidity.

How are you coping in your little corner of the world?

I'm doing fine at 63 degrees here in the Pacific Northwest.

by Anonymousreply 1July 19, 2019 6:15 PM

Its currently 6 degrees C where I am, windy and wet as well

by Anonymousreply 2July 19, 2019 6:23 PM

Only 88 F. but the humidity is incredible.

I just brought in the stuff off my patio that can break or fly away in the wind. There are severe storms coming through here late afternoon/early evening. Hope we don't lose power.

Don't forget to keep your pets cool and hydrated, and check on your elderly neighbors, especially if they live alone.

It's going to reach 109 F. I just don't leave the house until 7:00 p.m.

Can we at least give a vague idea of our location? Especially curious about you r7

I'm in Marin County, CA. We are actually having a bit of a cooling trend (don't hate me, we will be paying for this, trust me.) Today shouldn't get much hotter than 75. Highly unusual, but I'll take it.

Currently 75 degrees (12 noon), with an expected high of 79 degrees. Delightful! And as R8 commented, very unusual. The avg. high temp in July is 89 degrees.

This seems like a normal Northeast summer heat wave. Why is everyone freaking out about it? I've even gotten "Heat Advisory Alerts" on my phone?

I'll say it again , but this desert heat In Palm Springs of 112 and higher has been an absolute joy compared to humid ,east-of-the-Rockies climate, even when said temps. are in the 80's

r13, yeah, I lived in Orlando and the humidity was the worst. I'll take 109 F. over 97F. degrees with 90 percent humidity.

I'll be indoors where there is AC.

Checking in on all of you roasters. Apparently, today is supposed to be hotter, though it is still a bit early yet. Anyone want to report how your day is so far, and/or how it went yesterday?

Condoling you in advance...

by Anonymousreply 18July 20, 2019 2:33 PM

Oooh honey, it’s hotter than the devils roasting pan out there at ten AM. All my plants are wilting. I made it to the store and got some shrimp, which I’m going to boil outside tonight after the sun goes down. It was 90 last I checked, but climbing up to 110 today here in the DC area. 🔥 👿

It is already 88 degrees in Albany, New York. It is expected to go to 93. And the humidity is already 70%.

All in all, a good day to go to the baths.

Beastly hot and humid in Chicago. High nineties, and humidity is off the charts. My first summer living here, and it's a bitch. Can't wait to to see what winter brings.

by Anonymousreply 25July 20, 2019 8:46 PM

The winter is worse, R25. The winter is, oh, so much worse.

If you have any cold cans in your fridge, put them on the insides of your wrists, nape of your neck, or behind your knees and you will cool down significantly for a short while. Ice packs works well too.

r26 is correct, r25.

R25: Chicago Metro here. After the high winds came through, we've dropped into the 70s now. Finally. Not all winters are bad, but this previous one was HORRIBLE. Hopefully this next winter won't be so bad. Statistically, it will be almost impossible, ALMOST, to top last winter. I'm now going to knock on wood several time that I said that.

It's a little slice of pure hell here in the Mid-Atlantic region. However in my home it's 64 degrees, cold air on full blast.

We're having a mild summer in LA. I expect it will change soon. August can be abysmal here.

The storms came through (Twin Cities MN). It was up in the 90s before the storms, it dropped to the low 60s afterward.

Bliss.

What scares me is that these extreme weather events are becoming more and more common, whether cold in the Winter or heat in the Summer, it's like there's no middle ground... much like our politics. We, as a nation, are unprepared for the looming disaster that climate change is bringing despite the fact that we can, with a pretty high degree of accuracy, predict the weather.

by Anonymousreply 43July 21, 2019 5:07 PM

We gone from a high of 93° yesterday to a "low" of 78 today. The humidity and dew point has also dropped, it feel almost heavenly. Better days are coming!

Got up at 5 am for my daily 1+ mile speed walk and to watch the sunrise. Topping 107 today in Vegas and a few degrees more later in the week. It's a dry heat of course.
