1. I don't think it's even 60 @#!%@! degrees here.
Seattle in June is just stoopid.

4. Somebody in Dallas was telling me today it was "breezy"
Yesterday, "breezy" here was like having a fan blow heat from the oven on us. The rain storms pop up then melt in the heat, nothing comes down.
This is ...JUNE? We "normally" have temps this high in August.

5. I'm in the DFW area too
Edited on Sat Jun-18-11 04:23 PM by MrsBrady
it's been breezy...aka...freaking windy...since March...
not every day, but many days.
My squash plants grew crooked it's been so windy.

Yea, it's like a windy furnace right now. Watered the f*** out of the garden this morning.
Will do it again as soon as the sun goes behind my neighbor's tree.

13. Dallasite here
If I hear the weather people use the word breeze one more time I am going to destroy the TV/radio! Just STOP! Guess they feel like they need to make it as if they still matter during the months of June/July/August when, really, all they need to say on June 1st is..it's gonna be boiling hot forever, see you the end of September.

I keep telling myself that at some point, probably 2 yrs (maybe) when my youngest finishes college and moves out, I am going to take a travel nursing assignment every summer anywhere BUT here. 13 week assignment oughta do it...June-August. All I can do now is look at the national weather map and dream!

9. I just found this on Wunderground, about Austin:
Near record afternoon highs are expected each day through Monday...
with highs expected to be in the upper 90s to near 102 across The
Hill Country... and from around 100 to near 106 over adjacent parts
of south central Texas. Afternoon heat index values will range from
the mid and upper 90s over The Hill Country to near 100 to 107 over
adjacent parts of south central Texas. The intense June sun... that
reaches maximum intensity on the first day of Summer... June 21st...
and the longer daylight hours of June will add to the heat.



Yikes!!!!!!!!

14. Hate it when the 10 pm news shows the temp in the corner
of the screen and it still reads, oh, 96 degrees! That is just so wrong :( Makes me rip up my "go here or there tomorrow, do this, do that" list and replace it with "couch potato"!

10. Right now here in North Georgia, it is 70 degrees.
It was in the 90s earlier today, but a rain storm blew through bringing cooler air. But the weatherman is predicting middle 90s throughout the next week.

16. It's going up to 95 today. and high humidity.
My dog is miserable too!! I have to wait until after dark to take her walking now. Poor thing, she has such dense fur.

She LOVED the unusual snow over the winter. We got 7", she was in heaven! I have the cutest pictures of her playing in it. Weird weather this year.

17. San Francisco: partly foggy, about 65 degrees...
cold winds blowing from the north. I always feel so ripped off living here in the summer....till I read about how the rest of the country is suffering! It's no wonder people in the south are in such bad shape: who wants to go outside and run around in weather like that? You go from your air conditioned house to the air conditioned car to the air condition mall/office/movie theatre and probably never feel the sun all summer! So sorry you have to deal with that!

24. First triple-digit day this year (I don't know what a heat index is)
I'm in the Sacramento Valley and we usually have many hot spells before this. Fire season is going to be a dozy after all the rain we experienced this year.

25. Tis 95 just northeast of Little Rock, AR, and it feels it. Storms tomorrow hopefully.
I should probably refrain from the "hopefully" part, considering I've broken my record for trips into the storm shelter for the year.

28. None at all. It was 55 this morning and I think it hit 65 today, but the wind shifted off the lake
and it's pretty brisk now. LOVE IT.
