Its a few minutes before 6am and its 82 with a dew point of 80.

Going up to 102, with a dew point around low-mid seventies.

I am seriously considering moving North, or Northwest.

This summer has been flat-out brutal.

Humidity here is so thick fog formed overnight when the sun burns it off we may not be as hot as 102 but we have the humidity and it will make the 90’s
Not too corfortable here either but alteast a few degrees cooler,meven cooler near the ocean

One good thing the golf courses have dried out and the drives are rolling a lot further, if the club does not slip out of my sweaty hands first.

I packed it in at 4pm with a high of 103.

I’m feeling kinda wacky.

We peaked at 72 today for a brief moment. 60 degrees now and we’re considering a small fire tonight. Whacky weather. This feels like late September.

Sandor, real estate is not dropping here, still going up. We tend to be an anomaly in more than just the weather.

The sky exploded at three pm here and the thunder and lightning and deluge hasn’t let up since. Anybody want 10 cords of soaking wet firewood?

Another scorcher, near 100. red face

When I go outside from the AC..........it feels like stepping into a furnace room.

The least thing I do, the sweat starts pouring.

Sometimes I wish I lived in Alaska............ tongue rolleye

50 this morning and RH at 60%. The single pane windows got a little condensation on the inside. Haven’t opened a window in weeks and the house was at 64. Brrrr.

Been real nice the last days here in MA.  The cool nights make me thing of burning.  Also great weather to be out there splitting rounds....without sweating a few pints of water.

A very mild 70 high today in Willamette Valley of western Oregon.  Chance of slight drizzle tonight.

This coming week it gets sunny and warm again
