Hope everyone has a good way to cool down today and this weekend because there is no relief in sight.
Hit the pool, keep it [img]cool.gif[/img] do what you gotta do (within reason and keep it legal)
Saw a bunch of kids, and a few adults enjoying the fountain/pool down at yeatmans cove on my way back to my truck after the ballgame today.
Cubs lost [img]frown.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img]
But it was a series split, which isnt bad or good.
I'm sure there are plenty down by the pool here at home today too. [img]cool.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/sun.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/island.gif[/img]

Today's daytime high temperature could reach 98 degrees, but it is going to feel much warmer. The high humidity and lack of breeze could contribute to a heat index that makes it feel 110 degrees today, said meteorologist Myron Padgett of the weather service in Wilmington, Ohio.
Don't tell Gunslinger!
We were in Phoenix the previous weekend (yeah, that's the kind of trips I take) where it was 115 degrees of "dry heat". I'll hafta walk around today to compare our humid 98 degrees...

Yeah, it's gonna be ugly, nasty, sticky gross hot today.
Please dont leave your kids or your pets in the car with the windows rolled up!
Find relief where you can.
Great day to go to the movies or even just go window shopping (or regular shopping) at a mall or something for a couple hours to beat the heat.

Yikes! Come on down to the Gulf Coast if you want to feel cooler. Only 90* here with lows in the mid 70s at night. We almost always have that nice sea breeze too which keeps it from getting too oppressive. You have my condolences. I saw on the weather that your temps should moderate by Wednesday to the low 80s for the highs. Won't that feel nice! Stay cool folks, don't over do it outside. I'm so used to being outside working in the yard and at the beach when it's in the mid 90s the heat doesn't bother me so long as there is a breeze. No breeze and even I don't like it that hot. Won't be long and it will be fall so hang in there....Hope you have a nice and long fall this year before it goes right into winter..

Hi GL! What's shakin bacon?
Gonna be high 90's again on Tuesday, but then it's supposed to drop down into the low to mid 80's for the rest of the week.

According to weather.com, a high of just 77 tomorrow! It'll feel like heaven!
While I was indoors yesterday from 7am to 5:15pm, when I went outside it was very toasty but not unbearable. Even stooped for an hour and a half as the sun went down. Quite warm but not oppressive.
Maybe it's because I missed the worst of it, but I didn't think it was as bad as many have made it out to be.
Wasnt nearly as bad last night, and it should start cooling down tonight.
It was ugly freaky hot yesterday afternoon though.
It was in the low 90s yesterday and going to be in the mid 90s today but I can still shut the A/C off at night and have the bedroom window open with the ceiling fan going. Maybe it's from having been raised in Ohio and not used to central A/C, but I find it difficult to sleep with the A/C on all night. I like to hear the sound of crickets and the leaves rustling outside my window. Some of my neighbors run their A/C units 24/7/365. Ugh! One nice surprise, I coated my roof white again about a month ago and have a new A/C unit from my other one breaking down. I originally had a black shingle roof. Black roof in Florida how dumb is that! But it has to be recoated every summer to be the most effective. So I gave it a fresh coat of white in early July. My electric bill was $180 last month, this month it is $115 and my place is twice as comfortable as it was a month ago....
I do the same thing (sort of). If it drops down into the mid to low 70's at night, I just turn off the AC. I dont crank mine to begin with though, I'd rather use the ceiling fan to help circulate it than drop it down too far.
Looking like it's gonna be mid to low 80's around here for the rest of the week, so that'll be a pretty much nighty occurance.
Mid to low 80s, that is ideal weather to me. My favorite weather is low 80s for the highs and mid 60s for the lows. Which is pretty much what we have here from Oct-April. It's really only May-August that are really hot here. Contrary to common misconception by some who don't live here and think it's hot "year round"... But even this summer heat is OK to me, it just bothers my 14 yr old dog when we go out so that worries me and bothers me to see him uncomfortable. And I look forward to my winter electric bills. They tend to run between $30-$50, tops. But $115 isn't bad considering some of my neighbors have $300, $350 electric bills this month. Last month one friend of mine living 2 streets over had a bill of $500...She is in a mobile home too so her A/C must be terribly inefficient or she runs it at max constantly. She is morbidly overweight so I suspect she runs it at max all the time.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's highly improbable given the record highs in Tampa for December, January and February are 86, 86, and 88, respectively, and the average highs are 72, 72, and 70. Though in your defense, the volatility in temperatures is clearly on the low end (record lows of 18, 21, and 24) which probably skews the average highs downward.Quote:

It's information that's easy to find and accessible to all. How odd that talk of "average highs" and "record lows" prompts you to talk about rectums.
