What's Your Weather Like????

[wendav13]

Goodness - our heat index is about 98 degrees today :confused: - and its been like that all week!! I love summer - and don't mind the heat, but humidity....yuck!! I shouldn't complain.....it's better than several feet of snow :eek: and below zero wind chill factors :eek: ...

What's your weather like???? Do you like it or hate it?? Favorite season? and why?

[lizmolik]

One word....HOT!

[TrishaB]

It is very Hot and Humid here.
I don't mind it though.
I love Summer. It is my favorite season.
I love to be outside doing things, and the tan looks great. :rolleyes:

[Cpogie]

Today it got up to 84, right now it is 78, very pleasant, we do not have the humidity like you girls back east, (thankfully) nights get down into the 40-low 50 very nice! but then I am at almost 7,000Ft. altitude

[teacheng1967]

Oh, hush Carol! You haven't tried heat since you sprained your ankle. In central IL is it hot and humid; we can hear the corn growing; a sauna is cooler. Thank heavens for air conditioning. Kids even fussed with me about who was going to go out and walk 45 feet to the mailbox and back.
Trudy:eek:

[shopsforsix]

Well we had to take to cooking our eggs out on the sidewalk today. No sense in heatin' up the house! "Hey shut that door! You're letting all the cold air out!!!"
It's supposed to be in the upper 90's through August with heat indices in the 100+ range!! I would take Carol's weather in a heartbeat!! I think I need to move to Alaska!! I love the cold! It could be worse though! Last year we had water restrictions because of the droughts!

[giraf98]

Right now...about 6pm .. the heat index is 97. I don't even want to guess what it was earlier! It's very humid. So i really haven't been trying to do a lot today. :p

[sweety19]

Its 93 right now.......really very HOT

Trudy:eek:

LOL. I was born in Chicago!!!! I remember the humidity as a kid and we didn't even have a fan let alone air conditioning! we lived in a house that was right next door to an apt. building, I can remember having the bedroom window open at night and the man next door's bedroom window was facing my bedroom window, now it was hotter than you know what and he would be in his bedroom hacking and hacking.....when your a kid it seems like it went on all night, but it was too hot to close that window...we moved to Calif. when I was just 12 but there are somethings you just never forget! lol Now you all stay back east, it is too expensive out here!!

[lizmolik]

LOL...In a few months we will all be saying it is FREEZING COLD! :)

[wendav13]

LOL - you guys are making me laugh.....glad to know I'm not the only one who is putting the deodorant samples to good use!!! I just hope everyone is comfortable (me personally - I HATE air conditioning - but when my hubby is home, if its not on....OH BOY>>>>) We aren't scheduled to have a break in the heat for at least another week!!! Supposed to be at least 90 every day - not including the heat index!!

Let enjoy it before the snow flies!!!!

[Zoneey]

Not in Arizona. We are lucky to wear sweaters. 104 is mild here. It is when it hits 112 I can't stand it. We are in our monsoon season now with dust storms and humidty.

Trudy:eek:

Where are you from, because I live in Central IL as well.

[wendav13]

I'm sorry sweetie - but look at it this way.......you don't have to deal with several feet of snow in the coming months........

Wanna trade???

[Zoneey]

Nope, I will just throw some extra ice blocks in our jacuzzi to cool off!

[wendav13]

LOL - It has actually cooled off nicely tonight - I turned off the air conditioning! It is about 74 with a nice breeze.....hubby might not be happy, but I would rather sleep with no blanket, no sheets and no clothes :eek: than burn up my electric bill....................

[Zoneey]

It is 8:30pm right now and still 99 out with the storm coming. Lately we have brown outs around 2am. It is a rude awakening. Please send that 74 over here.

I would love to do that if I could....:) ...are you willing to take one of our winter days for one of you summer days??

[Zoneey]

Yes, I will include tubing down the Salt river for you. Wasn't there a lady last year selling snow balls on E-bay?

[VanillaBean]

Here In Michigan we just got done with about 4 days of 90's with humidity and no rain- everything is so brown. Some areas have put water restrictions out already and some have banned watering your yard. Today it finally was in the mid 80's and tonight it dropped into the mid 60's which is great for sleeping. Hey- send us some rain...pleaseeeee??? LOL

[star1997]

It be hot sometimes but it's 67 right now and soggy cause it rained overnight:)

[mom2fussbudgets]

It is hot and humid here in Tulsa, and the current temperature is 90°

I know that it could be better and it could be worse! We used to live in Yuma, AZ, and I loved the climate there. Most of the year, the temperatures were in the 70's. For a few months during the summer it got really hot, of course. But, the heat in AZ is a dry heat and much more tolerable than a humid heat.

We also used to live in Jacksonville, NC. The humidity there during the summer was awful; it would just suck the energy right out of you.

[sweety19]

Its 91 today....Hot and humid

[cinny278]

its 100 in oak grove alabama today.its very hot and humid.the heat index is about 105-110,:eek: its to hot to do anything

[lizmolik]

I have Asthma...and just walking out my front door makes me not breathe good...lol...Our weather has been soooooo messed up lately. It is just sooooo humid!

[wendav13]

It really cooled down here today - 72 - and its raining right now...we are supposed to be back up to 90 soon - and with high humidity again. Makes the heat index crazy!

[Carly's Mommy]

We're expecting record breaking heat this week with highs of about 100 and heat indexes of at least 110. :eek: It's supposed to "cool" off some on Thursday and our high is only supposed to be 93. Unfortunately, our lows are only projected to be about 77 - and it will take until just before the sun comes up to get that low.

Our "official" temperature comes from out near our airport though - and that's out in the sticks where there's hardly a sould around. I would imagine it will be much hotter than 100 here in the city with all of the people, traffic and buildings.

It's only 11:00 AM and it's currently 88 with 71% humidity and a heat index of 100 (again, that's way out in the sticks away from everything). :(

[wendav13]

Our "break" is over - it is oppressive here today!! The humidity is so high it and the air feels so thick, it is almost hard to breathe!

But I am not going to complain (too much anyways!! lol) there will be 3 feet of snow :eek: on the ground before long!

[covette]

its very hot in nc 98 degrees but humidity is 100+ thou boy is it hottttttt

[wendav13]

Maybe there really is something to the whole "global warming" thing?????? We all seem to be sweltering across the whole country!

I'll take your snow and give you all the heat and humidity from the Midwest!! I prefer the cold weather way more than the heat!! I'll have to keep complaining about the heat since it will be this way for a while and school starts next week!! Good thing they have air conditioning in it!

School starts next week - yikes :eek: Our kids don't go back until Labor Day weekend!

I'll pack up my snow for you this winter - you can have it!!! lol

[usarmy wife]

Sorry guys for all the heat, maybe you should all take a trip north. (Washington state) Its cold today, and has been for about a week. Its only in the upper 60's or lower 70's. We are in the military and just moved from Oklahoma, about 25 mins. from Texas. (orgiganaly from Illinois) So I was used to the heat. So I think its cold here. Its in the 50,s at night. ITS STILL August isnt it?;)

[TrishaB]

We are under a high heat and humidity advisory for the rest of this week. Heat indicies are supposed to reach as high as 110 by thursday. :eek: I have lived in Illinois all my life and love summer, but even I think that is just way to friggen HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't like that much heat. :(

[wendav13]

I have to admit - I love it hot...but this is getting ridiculous!! Its not even 9 am and our humidity level is 95%!!!!! That make it a little uncomfortable (to say the least)!!!!

[wendav13]

Okay - we are getting majorly waterlogged here...........:eek:

[Carly's Mommy]

Yikes! I just got back from lunch and it is so, so hot! My car has a digital thermometer readout on the dashboard (always pretty accurate too) that tells the temp outside and it was reading - 106F! :eek:

[leezme]

It is 104 here in Birmingham, and that is NOT with the heat index! I dont know what it is with the index, have to see what they say on the news. But it is HOT HOT HOT! I will live with it though, because I hate cold weather. anything below 60 is cold to me! I am miserable from about November thru April. I am a true southerner!

[lizmolik]

Heat index is at 107 here in Illinois...who would have though! My thermometer is reading about 110~ We set a record yesterday! I hope this is all over wtih soon.

[wendav13]

Ughh...we are getting clobbered with bad storms again - between the heat / humidity and these storms.....eerghhh

[leezme]

We set a record in Birmingham yesterday at 104. I will still take this over yalls snow and ice and cold!!!

[Cpogie]

Today it is a pleasant 85, and NO humidity!!! Love it

[heges girl]

[gingefur]

It's been 103 the last two days in NC. I'm wearing my "Let it snow" socks.

[wendav13]

my power keeps going out - its hot hot hot humid humid humid.......and with no power = no air conditioning or fans..............eeerrrgghhhhh.........hopefully the storms are over and the power will stay on and the air will at least get the "damp" out of the house!!!
