How is it in your neck of the woods?

hoosieroriginal — Sun, 11 Jun 2017 13:34:32 GMT

Going to be a scorcher here today - 95. It was 68 when I woke up and it's already 75 only 1.5 hours later. Have every ceiling fan on in the place. Finding having my ceiling fan on in the loft greatly helps and keeping the dehumidifier in basement running also helps. Speaking of dehumidifiers - I hope you all checked your brand when they had the recall a few months ago. Two homes here in Indiana burned down due to faulty dehumidifiers. I have two dehumidifiers - one was on the recall list. Scary stuff. I followed their instructions and got $95 back. Please check your number against the list and stay safe.

I went to the farmer's market yesterday and almost DIED.

I'm an outdoors person but it was really hot.

The place was packed and I had to park 2 blocks away. I was fine getting there but that walk back with about 40lbs of fruits & veggies about got me. Next time I will leave my bag there and drive up & let them put it in my car.

I'm staying closer to home today.

Why do people in Indiana need dehumidifiers? Is it humid there?

@hoosieroriginal Thanks for the warning.I hope you have air conditioning or you are going to cook.We had a high of 70 yesterday and it will be much the same today.I love that temp especially with the sun shining.

we had a garage sale yesterday and it was supposed to rain but didn't so it was perfect.We sold 300.00 worth of stuff that was just taking up space.Everything leftover is going to the thrift store on Monday.

It's supposed to be in the low 90's, a bit on the humid side but breezy in SW Michigan today. It's summer. It gets hot. Nothing to get excited about, at least not for me. I'm still going to ride my bike to church. It's an easy, flat, 2 mile ride thru the neighborhood.

Cloudy this morning. Predicted to be 70 today. Perfect for some yard work.

It's going to be early 90's. It's muggy. I can deal with it as long as the rain that was promised comes.

@software - Oh yes, it gets really humid here in Indiana - feels like a furnace when you walk outside when the humidity kicks in. As my uncle used to say "the mosquitos are walking across there today". Thick, humid air - we've been lucky so far, but with rain Thursday and temps in 90s - oh my!

Nah, it's not nearly far enough to work up any kind of sweat. It's only 75 right now and breezy.

@hoosieroriginal Yes we feel your heat here in the capitol city of OH, same weather. HOT HOT HOT!!!

Speaking of dehumidifiers, about 3 weeks ago we just turned on our new Frigidaire in the basement. Working just fine so far so I hope those recalls were not our brand. I will check though.

These high temps outside with no rain means we're watering every day here, flowers and veggies. Been harvesting onions and a little lettuce so far. Lettuce going great guns so this week I anticipate a nice crunchy salad filled with just our own home grown, always a very good thing. I think Martha would agree!

Hot and humid. Ceiling fan and dehumidifier are on. Looks like a midwest heatwave has begun.

In 90's in my neck of woods next several days. I'm not a summer person so try to mostly stay in especially when very humid. Thank goodness for a/c. I find summer can be just as confining as winter.

It's supposed to be hot here in PA and will I ever welcome it! We've had nothing but rain all month...every.single.day. It's great to see the sun.

59 and raining. Very unseasonable for SoCal.

It's in the high 80s, low 90s in Chicago. It's tolerable because there isn't any humidity yet. I have the AC on upstairs and all the ceiling fans running at night. It's been super windy though the last couple of days. My eyes are itchy and I've been sneezing.

A little cooler today, around 99. Supposed to be around 112 by the end of the week.

Here in Illinois (about 30 miles west of Chicago) it is hot. 94 degrees today, 96 tomorrow. We need rain really bad. The last significant rainfall was 16 days ago. Of course, I went overboard and bought lots of hanging baskets and put them all over the place. Watering has become the norm around here. :-)
