Hotter than heck and getting hotter

 

[Patchouli]

106, 26% humidity. Feels like 112. AQI 56 - moderate.

 

[Chaosdawn]

So I woke up in the middle of night and heard a soft noise. I laid there half asleep for several long seconds before I identified it. Rain. It was rain dripping on my window sill. That's how little rain we've been getting. lol

 

[Bacpacker]

74 this morning. 90s with heat index of 103

 

[JustMe]

Cold.........currently 49 and cloudy, and they are warning that there is no warming/summer sun in the foreseeable future.

Patchouli and I are hogging it all

Not all of it... we have some here. Triple digit weather, sure hope the monsoon kicks in pronto because this heat is drying everything out, BIG-TIME. We're already under drought conditions too, and that ain't helping. My water bill has been on the rise lately... I'm not looking forward to the next electric bill either, now that I'm running the A/C more often.

Actually looks like a lot of people will be dealing with the heat!!

 

[SheepDog]

Well, so far we have had moderate rain and below normal temps. Not ideal boating weather but OK for fishing.

Well dang it, share a little will ya??? I mean the garden isn't even growing at this rate. The lawn sure is though and needs mowed again......and I just did it 3 days ago

Surprisingly, it didn't rain today but still cool in the low 60's. Right now at almost 8pm, it's 55 and I'm tempted to start a fire in the stove. Instead I'll just bundle up and hope for better days ahead

Not much is growing here because it's so hot and dry!! 10:30pm, 86°

95 today heat index of 103. It was 78 at 6 this morning

Patch said something about sharing some heat!!

 

[Pearl]

It's a million here today and very windy!!

 

[Wingnut]

Yes, very hot here and breezy too... glad to be back in the A/C. I wish this really hot weather would just go away, it's drying out the soil even worse than usual and my plants are looking a bit haggard. Can't seem to water 'em enough with this heat and the ongoing drought. Wish the monsoon would get here already and start cooling things down...

Edit: Just looked outside, and there were half a dozen birds splashing in the nearest birdbath, lol... those little guys know that I change the water every day, and the three birdbaths are a godsend in this hot weather. This afternoon, there'll be all kinds of birds hittin' the baths, watering up and cooling off... the quail blocks are still going strong too, lol. Cheers!!!

 

[Pearl]

I too have several birdbaths (aka deer waterers)! They have a great time! Update: only made it to 99° today, cool spell! Some clouds and a lot of blowing dust blocking the sun!! The dust is really nice in your eyes and teeth!

 

[Bacpacker]

Patch said something about sharing some heat!!

Well thank you both.
It hit 96 here, heat index of 105

 

[Patchouli]

Yes, the wind is crazy. @Wingnut I have been enjoying watching the birds and squirrels at my birdbaths too. It’s become a local hangout. Had never seen a summer tanager (immature). Neat looking bird.

 

[Wingnut]

I like the tanagers, they are cool... we get quite a few wild bird species here, so the scene at the birdbaths is often colorful! Yellow, red, blue, orange, brown, subtle green... some birds even have a purplish hue. Nice colors!

Pearl, I like when the windblown dust & sand make my eyeballs gritty... grating in their sockets, lol.

 

[Hooch]

It warmed up to 43 at work :/ sunny, cold n windy.
I think here at home it was low 50's.
... Sigh..... :/

 

[Peanut]

August temps are here, dry and very hot. When it's not raining... then it's steamy and hot!

Unseasonably warm, was 101 degrees on my porch this afternoon. Usually don't see it this hot until late July and August.

 

[UrbanHunter]

This week it cooled down a bit, we are getting low 90s in the daytime and low 70s at night. About every 3rd day we are getting a thunderstorm rolling through, which is perfect because my rain barrels only hold enough water for about 5 days...

This year I planted pole beans along the south side of the house, it is un-shaded and the pole beans are now about between 7' and 8' tall, they are a foot away from the house and they are helping the AC work much better, southern rooms that are normally very hot in the afternoon are just fine, and the AC does not seem to be working as much as in the past.

 

[Tirediron]

it has been raining for the last 36 hours, things are a little damp

 

[LadyLocust]

I feel for you french fries crisping up. We had that last year for about 6+ weeks (of triple digits starting in June.)
We cleared up and no rain today - mid 60s low 46 last night. The rest of the week is supposed to be in the 70s with lows in the 50s & rain on Sunday. Should be good for the garden. Like @JustMe said, doesn't give the garden a lot to grow on being that chilly. I'm wantin' my grub ☺

Ok, now I want french fries!:

[Chaosdawn]

Yeesh y'all got some heat going on. It's been highs between 78-82 here, lows in the upper 50s at night. Sunny and breezy.

 

[Tsrwivey]

We’re dying here in east Texas! It’s hot and humid, we’ll get a break from it in September.

 

[dademoss]

Still morning here, it will be worse later.

 

[Peanut]

Hey @Supervisor42 what's the water temp in the gulf? August seems to have come early this year...

Edit...this just in... I checked the local forecast
