We're having a heat wave

A tropical heat wave. Highs in the mid to upper 90's all next week here plus high humidity. And I hear it's worse in the midwest. Looking forward to fall.

95* here 20% humidity.

All I've been hearing around here is that it's too hot. I just want to yell at people. During the winter it's too cold. Just move to fricking seattle where it's rarely either and !

I love the sun, the heat, all of it. I also love the cold and the snow. So I say bring on the HOT days and the COLD days (not too close together though)

This is the hottest Nebraska summer I have ever been through... yesterday went tubing down the river... it was 110!

Right now it is 104! It is insane... then at night it never goes below 75 still...

83 degrees with 30% relative humidity, and a nice 8 miles per hour breeze.


I think I'm gunna go sit on my deck under the shade of my GI-normous maple tree, crack a cold one, and strike up a stogie!

Hot and humid, here. 95+ with HORRIBLE humidity.

Just picked up a 10k BTU window A/C and we're all hibernating in the living room...*sigh*.

Ahhhh......gotta love global warming, but at least the winters are getting milder! We've been getting into the upper 90's but the humidity just makes it awful, AC is the only option at that point. :pat:
