How's the weather?

[GregK]

quite toasty here, mid-90s with humidity. approaching 100s tomorrow. We are being told to stay indoors. A 10-min walk for the dog (black fur, large breed) just wipes him out in this heat.

[Shawn]

For once, it's actually cooler in Texas than the east coast.

[kinuta]

Mid rainy season. Hot, leaden skies, oppressively humid, horrible.

[papsrus]

Still raining here. It's like living in an aquarium.

[Tim McG]

High 90s and 100s here.

Muggy last week. Ugh.

[Tom 1960]

I was told with the heat index, the temperature registered 105 degrees today. I believe it.

[Tim McG]

on the chilly side.... probably mid-50's this evening.

I was in The City last week to watch the semi-pro Giants vs. the [hated] Dodgers. Long story short, I went through Priceline and got a deal on the SFO Hyatt. So I called ahead to ask about the temperatures.

They told me it had been hot, you know, in the mid-70s to low 80s.

I just got back to Atlanta from Bellingham, Washington, halfway between Seattle and Vancouver. I watched Independence Day fireworks in a sweater and under a blanket. It's going to be 96 degrees F here tomorrow.

Well, there ya go! Perfect.

Hey Brooks?

Thbbbttt!!!

I figure on being up there again before school starts and I'm smackin' the first guy who tells me it has been hot.

Sheesh.

[GA Russell]

We were at 101 at 5:00 pm today, but it doesn't seem nearly as humid as it did two weeks ago when the temp reached 98, so it was much more comfortable.

[AndrewHill]

My car said it was 98 degrees outside when I left for work at 2:30pm. Subsequently burned my arm on the inside of my car door.

[Tim McG]

I seriously do not know how you guys live in that stuff.

Ack.

[PHILLYQ]

HOT HOT HOT BLAST FURNACE HOT HOT HOT HOT MICROWAVE HOT- 100 yesterday, 103 the day before. Thankful I work in an office and there hasn't been a blackout yet.

[Van Basten II]

Heatwave also here, with the humidex factor over 104, you know it's hot when despite being summer restaurants and bars are keeping their windows shut so customers can enjoy fresh air.

[AndrewHill]

It cooled down to 90 degrees today.

[Tim McG]

A roasty, toasty 97 today and with more Tropical moisture on the way.

Wheee.

[AndrewHill]

Rolling black-out season has officially begun

[Tim McG]

Rolling black-out season has officially begun

With a rolling LeBron James big, giant ego storm cell in the forcast.

What a self-involved jackass.

[Shawn]

This is the coolest summer I've experienced in Austin, I mean, it's still gotten hot, but not nearly as bad as last summer. The constant daily thunderstorms have helped the temp I'm sure.

[paul secor]

Finally some rain & a break from the heat - at least for a day.

[sidewinder]

Damn warm - and muggy. We need some rain !

[Chalupa]

Last week we hit 103 3 times and this week we've received over 5.5 inches of rain in 4 days. That's more rain than we got in the past 74 days!

[Brad]

I just returned from China and the weather was terrible. In Shanghai every day was high 90s and humid. You'd walk out at 800am and it was like walking into a furnace. Very oppressive. Beijing was the same but not humid. You have to walk around with cold water or you won't survive.

[Matthew]

It's 103 right now. Yikes!

[A Lark Ascending]

A welcome week of rain with some wind. Much needed after a very dry spring. It had become so dry I spotted gazelle and giraffes crossing my lawn last Saturday.

Hoping for another week of this and then - ping - four weeks of sunshine with a nice heavy downpour at about 3.00 a.m. each night.
