How is the weather were you are ???

It is 93 and feels like 100.

The dewpoint is 71.

The humidity is 64.

It is like walking into a steam bath.

The grass never dries.


P.S. It has been so hot the last couple of weeks, the breaker to the air conditioner keeps kicking off.

This has never happened before.

Tue Jul 3, 2018, 03:58 PM
Jul 2018

Dew Point of 87 would make the humidity 73% and the Heat Index would be at least 120.

I'm thinking your dewpoint might be 67.

The official NWS San Antonio International Airport:

Temp: 95
Dewpoint: 62
Humidity: 34
Heat Index: 96

The municipal airport:
Temp: 99
Dewpoint: 64
Humidity 32
Heat Index: 102

the mid- to upper-90s for several days. I am only able to work on my lawn and garden for brief periods. My younger son has been doing most of the work for me, as he enjoys it as "training" for boxing. I'd like to think of that as the luxury of youth. However, I visited my 90-year old uncle, a WW2 hero, two days ago. He had just finished his lawn, and was carrying two 5-gallong buckets to water his garden. After that, he said, he was going to split more firewood.

I live in Colorado and the whole state is on fire. There hasn't been measurable rain in over a month.

Looks promising tomorrow and Thursday but then back into the 90s, dry and windy. No help for all of the wildfires burning in this state. My husband's aunt and uncle's home burned in the Spring Creek fire. We live in a rural area with a lot of Ponderosa Pine - so I'm feeling a little nervous. One lightning strike or a stupid person with fireworks could start a fire very easily
