1. The cool down came

Wednesday for us...thank god!!!

56 degree low last night...slept with the windows open and it was HEAVANLY!

[Zuni]

2. I just checked your profile to see where you were

and you are a long way away from the primordial swamp of the Chesapeake Bay that I live in....

4. Looks like

the cold front is slowly meandering toward you....

16. If i could find a place that

is breezy, roughly 65-70 degrees and sunny most of the year, i would be set

23. Carpinteria, California

P-A-R-A-D-I-S-E is all I can say.

3. Just across the river from you in VA

Hot as hell here!

[WoodrowFan]

5. I disagree

a blast furnace has got to be, oh, 5 to 10 degreees hotter.. :yoiks:

[Zuni]

8. and a little less humid

6. It might cool down here (Houston) by the end of October.

Or not.

10. If there is one place I wouldn't be able to last a summer

Houston is right up there

18. I have lived here for most of my life (since 1977).

I have become so acclimated to the heat and humidity that I don't even sweat when I am simply standing outside on a hot (as if there is any other kind here) summer day. I have to move around and exert myself a good amount when working to get the ol' sweat glands to kick in.

TMI, I know.

On the other hand, I am a cold-weather wuss of the highest order - if the temperature drops below 70, it's time to break out the winter coats and crank up the heater!

7. It's cool down here in Alabama

Since May most highs have been in the mid to upper 80s , except last week we had a few days in the 93-97 range. Looks like all the heat has been in the North this year.

9. 98 here today

(psst... squid week is next week, this is panda week)

[Zuni]

11. I liked your graphic

and I am testing it out early ;)

[XemaSab]

13. Thanks!

It's good to test these things ahead of time so squid week goes off without a hitch!

12. Me too. But we're not too far from each other...

Please tell me cooler weather will be here soon. Even for Maryland, this is bad.

:hi:

[Zuni]

14. I think it will be about 10 degrees cooler this weekend

Last week was even worse---that was some serious hot ass weather

[Systematic Chaos]

15. *only* 102 in Vegas right now

but humid enough so that the heat index is actually higher at 103. But, this is pure heaven compared to that two week stretch of 115-120 degree days we had recently.

[Zuni]

17. But i am sure you don't have like 80% humidity

although 100 degrees dry is a bitch, 97 and humid is suffocating

on edit---120 degrees---that is fucking ridiculous

[Systematic Chaos]

21. Per Weather Bug:

Current Temperature: 100

Humidity: 22%

Dew Point: 57 (Anything even approaching 60 is like a sauna to me. I couldn't survive a dew point in the 70's anymore, I don't think.)

Heat Index: 100 (And usually it's dry enough that this number will be up to 5 degrees below the actual temperature.)

[Zuni]

22. that is inhuman

how life exists out there, I do not know

[Shell Beau]

19. Me!! It is hot as hell outside today!

[Rick Myers]

20. Going back up in Minneapolis

We had a 2 day break, but it's VERY humid and climbing back thru the high 80s. We've had 10 days or more of 100 heat indexes this summer!

Make it stop!!!

24. It's not too bad here. Cooler than usual.
