it's August 14 in Virginia, and it's 67 degrees outside at noon. WTF?

This has been a weird summer in the mid-Atlantic.

Also having some very strong, cold (yes, cold) gusts of wind every now and then. The cats are mildly freaked, and the birds don't know what the hell is going on.

What's the weather where you are?

1. That is weird. It is August 14 in California, too.

But it is 71 degrees at 9:15 this morning and looks to be another glorious Southern California day.

4. It's a glorious day in the Northern California too

5. :) I was born and raised in SoCal; lived there until

I was 28 ...I fondly remember those days.

This weather here in August is usually hot-and-humid (northern Virginia, not the coast). Like, high 80s up to 95+ with at least 70% humidity.

17. Ah, then you know

we usually have had a 100+ week by now, that's why it is so glorious. I'm guessing it will be another year we can have holiday dinners on the patio.

18. I lived on both the coast (SD and LA) and the desert (Palm Springs)

so - I do know the real heat that being even 5 miles inland from the ocean can bring...

San Diego, coastal, was never hot. Was wonderful. Even with the "June gloom"

2. It's 66°. The sun is out. Last night, we had local flooding.

6. I heard about the flooding on CNN... everyone OK there?

13. Everyone I know is doing okay.

3. Right now the temp is 78F with a high toady of 84F expected. Normal high for the date is 93F.

We've already had 3.70 inches of rain this month when our normal total for the month is 2.59. It's really strange to have everything be so green this time of the year. I'm certainly enjoying it.

[Flaxbee]

7. Yes. agreed. I should stress that *I'm not complaining!*

It's just -- very different. Nice, but not normal.

[valerief]

8. Very weird in the northeast, too. Bizarre August. nt

[Flaxbee]

9. yup; good friends in NYC are loving it --

much preferable to a normal city August.

10. but there is no global weather change, so just keeping looking at the watch

your eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, now just go back to sleep.

11. it's been a milder summer in n. colorado

had to wear a hoodie yesterday and the high today is only supposed to be 84. i'm not complaining, last summer was like living on the doorstep to hell.

[okieinpain]

12. don't get to carried away buddy, there is always november and december n/t.

[fizzgig]

14. it'll be a milder winter if the past few years mean anything

we'll get assbiting cold for a couple weeks, but i didn't even need to break out the winter coat last year.

[okieinpain]

16. lol. so true. n/t.

[livetohike]

15. 60 degrees in northern PA

I have jeans on for the first time all summer. Thankfully, they fit LOL. This is ridiculous. It's starting to look like Fall around here too.
