I can’t wait until September. Sometimes it still gets hot then but at least it will be Sept.

Yes, the whole country is hot. It's even 90 in Alaska. Stay inside in the air conditioning or with the fans on. Pull the shades to keep the sun out. Where light clothes, drink cold drinks.

Hot and humid in Maryland. I'm so tired of feeling/being sweaty....and my hair has taken on a life of it's own.

Yikes.

Even when it is clean it feels dirty.

Sitting here sweating now....was out changing water in my birdbaths and it felt like it had been heated.....well, it HAD!

@cherry

That's what I hate!

I normally love being outside just putzing around. Not when it is this hot and sticky.

I've been taking care of my sister-in-laws Lab, doing mid-day walks around their farm. I drive 20 minutes to get there so he can do his business.

Poor guy looks at me as if to say "Do I have to go out?"

It's miserable for humans and animals alike!

Pray we don't get any power outages with any of the summertime pop-up thunderstorms!

We already had 2 this week which is rare for my part of Tx.

One idiot hit a electric pole

Then, the other day lightning hit a transformer not to far from us and it took just an hr to restore power.

I didn't know the difference at 4 in the morning. DH gets up with the chickens , so, he knew it was off.

We got a back up generator with a turn key that would keep some stuff going.

Our heat wave started on past Tuesday. Since then, everyday in the mid to upper 90's. Heat index 101F average. Daily storms in the afternoon or overnight. The last day of this is forecast for Sunday. Our 4th of July fireworks and parade was cancelled. They usually try for the day afterwards, but it stormed again. As I type this, there is thunder rumbling so another storm for this evening.

On Tuesday the 1st day of this, it stormed for almost 2 hours straight overnight. I slept throug the entire thing. My husband told me what happend when I noticed the ground was wet the next day. It woke him & my son up. But I was oblivious to the whole thing.

Hot and humid outside, 83 very humid degrees inside. Not a typo.

I am melting, along with my dog, A/C quit last Saturday, when I had an overnight guest.

Quick fix on Monday night, lasted less than 48 hours. Yesterday was the holiday. I spent today interviewing HVAC contractors. Waiting for one more bid tonight. Now it's the weekend again. No new HVAC until Monday or Tuesday and no relief in sight.

That is just miserable hot.🙁 is it normal for it to be so hot where you live?

Re: It's 101 here ,right now

It is sometimes @SeaMaiden plus high humidity. We are surrounded by 1/5 of the worlds fresh water ,and our state teams with lakes and rivers. No matter where you are ,you are never more than 1/2 hr from fresh water, a lake or river, or the Great Lakes

It's SUMMER. It gets hot and very humid in Michigan (and lots of other places). It's been like that ever since I was a kid. I refuse to wish my life away complaining about and hoping for different weather. Soon enough it will be winter and then there will be complaints about the cold!

Re: It's 101 here ,right now

Not from me. I have always hated hot weather, my entire life

Yes, humidity is bad news. I can take dry hot air but not humid air!

I can't breathe in heavy hot wet air....uggg

I feel for all those living in humidity all summer.

Our low tonight is supposed to be 80; 98-100’s for the next week....I hate it...the heat seems to bother me more now than in my younger years

A good time to remind pet owners not to leave their animals like dogs and cats outdoors in this heat. I hate seeing people walking their dogs and having them walk on hot sidewalks..have seen too many poor dogs with burned paws...if it is too hot for a person to walk on the sidewalk in bare feet...then it’s also too hot for your puppydog! Let them walk in the grass and make the walk shorter if you can.
