Be careful to all with these terribly high temps, just stay indoors and stay hydrated. Hope it breaks soon.

All over town, people are asking, what would you rather have, 3 feet of snow or sustained 100 degree temps? Lucky us, we've gotten to have both in the same year! But, if given a choice, most people were saying til recently that they'll take the heat. In the last day or so, that worm has turned, and now we have people longing for huge piles of snow.

Hey guys, please sort out this weather by 24 August - I'll be coming out of the coldest winter I can remember (and that's quite a long time).

Lee, we will see what we can do for you before the 24th. Try to order us Dingbats a nice Spring in November, ok!!

This has been a terribly hot summer with above 90s for 6 weeks + with the exception for 3 or so 80s days. I miss my outside walking, but just can't seem to do it at 80* with 70+ humidity at 7am. So, it's to the mall I go...... I would love more rain, too, but that pushes up the humidity..... Summer!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

It's so hot that steam comes off items that we take out of the freezer! Can't walk to the mailbox or take the dogs outside without dripping with sweat.

Just PRAYING the A/C doesn't pick this time of year to conk out...

The heat has broken. It's only 90 degrees out.

Our power went out about 45 minutes ago, thank God it came back on in a timely fashion! Karen, I can picture you with your "parasol" - hey, anything to shield from the hot sun! :)

I know what you're talking about. It was 90 today but it felt so cool I had my windows down in the car. With the humidity gone it felt more like upper 70s or low 80s.

On top of the heat, we had a possible small tornado yesterday. Many in the area don't have power 24 hours later.

I think the Mayans were off by a couple of years. So far this year we have had a 3+ foot blizzard (record), an earthquake (minor but largest recorded here), most 100 degree days in a month, and now a small tornado.

I loved the winds that whipped up the bay here yesterday, and it seemed to drop 20 degrees in about an hour. Okay, umbrella in the pool and table turned over and I forgot to lock down the spa cover and had to put it back on. Just nice not to be oppressed with that awful heat!

It's a cool 94 here in Fort Worth now...better enjoy it because we're forecast to be 100-104 with full-on sunshine for the whole next week! I used to LIVE for hot weather but now I kind of want a break. Must have something to do with getting older!

I guess I knew the 100's had to come to TX at some point, but this summer has been a breeze after last summer.

The beach had a well deserved break yesterday and today, a storm roared in, dumped 5 inches of needed rain and temps cooled today to 79* :app:

Strange summer temps all over....other than 3 miserable days, this has been the coolest summer I can remember. Hope it stays this way. Suzie, wish you could send some of your rain our way...we need it.

We have gone from a 15 year drought to
about 4 inches above normal this summer.
Temps were very nice until this past week.
Been hitting the upper 90's or lower 100's
this week.

Just got my electric bill for July :eek:

They weren't kidding when they said it was the hottest June/July on record. I could make a nice down payment on a cruise for what I'm paying to stay cool for 1 month!!

It was reported in our paper today that Siberia has had temps in the 90s this week. Now those folks are really hurting.

Re: electric bill - I didn't even open until I knew it was about due date - HIGHEST EVER in 41 yrs!

As cold as I was this winter and swore I wouldn't complain about heat, I guess I lied! I think the only thing worse was the summer of 1980 when it was 105 for many days and I was in the mountains with no AC and few places to find it, except in the car and the AC grocery store, BUT I was 30 yrs younger!!

It is just sizzling down here in south Florida. We won't get a break in the temp. until late October. Just please no storms this year!

We were in Rome last week and it wasn't any cooler there, but Paris did cool us down into the 70's so no complaints.

According to the Weather Channel, we are supposed to hit 107 today - 106 was the record at DFW for today back in 1998. Lord, have mercy!!!

We FINALLY got some clouds! And now it's actually raining! I'm sure it's short-lived, but it's sweet. I think I see smiles on our plants out back. :) :)

I know more 100s are on the way but this is a little victory for us!
