Let's talk about the weather

Looks like the mid-to-upper-80s here for the next week. Currently it’s 88ºF. The 10-Day forecast says we might have rain on the 5th and 6th. Still, it’s better than Seattle. I heard on the radio yesterday that it might hit 100. Ten or so degrees hotter than here? Maybe.

Of course, come February I’ll be craving weather like this.

It has been consistently in the high 90s-low100s here for the last few weeks. Typical Inland Empire weather for July. It was late arriving, though, which makes me wonder about October. We could be in for a wet winter, which would be good for the water supply. Go, El Niño!

It has been consistently around 110 here every day. We’re fixin’ to break the record for the most consecutive days of above-75-degree lows, if that makes any sense. Plus it’s monsoon season, which means my evap cooler isn’t working with a shit. I’ve never sweat so much in my life. I am considering moving to Alaska for my impending perimenopausal stage of life.

NW Cable News is reporting 105º in Portland. Yikes!

Seattle is currently reporting 94.

Is that an all-time record for Seattle? I lived there for four years and I don’t think I remember it ever hitting 95. Hell, an 85-degree day had people talking about the monster heat wave.

It’s getting close.

It’s a bit toasty for me today (and will be toastier tomorrow), but it’s not as bad as Summers in West L.A.

It has been in the 90s in Central Arkansas for weeks. Rain today, and the promise it will continue through the weekend. Humid, but a mere 78F 3:30 Tuesday afternoon.

Cooler than normal summer here in northern Iowa. Maybe one day the temp hit 90, mostly in the 70’s. Cool breeze out of the north today.

I’m sitting down here in Puyallup, WA where it is currently 102 degrees outside.

I don’t plan on eating tonight, it’s too hot and I don’t have any appetite when it’s hot.

106º in Portland right now, 6pm. That’s a record.

I’m on Vancouver Island, in Port Alberni, and right now it’s 104.

Good God. Is there rioting in the streets?

…well, no, people are probably too hot to riot. Still, though, my mother-in-law lives in Seattle and often will talk about how unbearably hot it is when the temperature busts through the 80-degree mark. I hope she’s lying down in the bathtub with a wet towel over her head or something.

We are waaaaay too hot and wilted to do anything but sit here and moan about how miserable we are.:slight_smile:

It regularly hits the 100 degree mark here in West Texas. But, of course, we’re also well prepared for it. My sister lives near Sammammish, Washington, but I haven’t heard anything from her about a heat wave.

Everyone in the Pacific Northwest has my sympathies! I may be in West Texas, but I prefer your climate :slight_smile:

I just returned last Friday from San Antonio, TX where it was 105 with lots of humidity. Bleh. It seems the heat wave followed me.

All I heard on CBC radio this morning, it seemed, was how hot it was going to be in Port Alberni. It says it’s only 30 here now, but man, it feels hotter. Still, you’re suffering more.

The sun came out, damit. 86F at 6:00 PM in Little Rock.

115 at 5:30pm in Redding CA.
Now we hit 100 on a regular basis in the summer, but DAMN!!!

You’ve got me beat. What is your air conditioning designed for? I think those in our area are based on a temperature difference of 20 degrees, meaning that at 100F outside 80F inside is the best it can do.

And, here in the northeast it’s been one of the shittiest, coldest, rainiest, crappiest summers ever. I’ve given up on summer. This is the third piece of shit summer in a row now. Fuck you, summer.
