If I Could Do A Backflip I Would!

I just looked at the forecast and next Wednesday it's to be 80 with low humidity.

If someone gave me a handful of diamonds it wouldn't make me as happy as that forecast did.

Yeah, I know we can get more he**ish heat, but at least some relief is in sight.

@CrazyKittyLvr2

Me too - the heat has been DISGUSTING.

It's been hot & humid here too with all the rain we keep getting even though we have only had 5-15% chance of rain. I rather it be 100° or more with low humidity then for it to be 90° with 78% humidity like it is now. I don't like it when it feels like a swamp outside.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 That's great! We have a weather change too coming up, down from the 90's to 80's and we actually are looking forward to hopefully some rain. It's dry as a bone here in Colorado with high fire danger conditions.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 I could not agree with you more! I was actually cleaning some things in my basement today and came across my copper pumpkins and fall wreaths. I wanted to get them out of storage and put them out...but came back to reality. I desperately want this summer to be over. I need the cooler weather. 🍁

70 and low humidity would thrill me even more. I really hope we have an early - make that WAY early - and long fall. I doubt we will, but hope springs eternal.

We have a predicted high of 83° today, down from 104° week before last. Feels wonderful although it's very humid. Monsoon season here, although I've had no rain, I have high hopes. It's severely dry.

We had a shift in the weather this week. Yesterday it rained all day. Yay! I had the sprinkler going on my lawn as well because it's burned by the heat. Today it's 88 degrees and windy. Looks like we'll have more rain tonight. Feels soooo good. By the weekend it will be back up into the high 90's.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 I hope that we have the same forecast in my area for Wednesday. I feed our cat colony on Wednesdays and Fridays, and after being out in the heat, dodging and chasing buzzards, and climbing under all types of bushes, I am drenched. Low humidity would be most welcome, so I am sending a good thought for that.

88 and humid this weekend. We did have four nice days leading up to the bad stuff.

@Kachina624

Monsoons?

If you don't think I'm being too much of a nose box - where do you reside?

I usually think of monsoon season as being prominent in Southeast Asia, or the African coast & the Central Americas too... are you THAT far away right now?

We have a hurricane forming in the gulf, so as it comes ashore south of Houston, that usually means lots of rain going north up to us in dfw area....we need it; our lawn is crispy and my once-gorgeous flowers on my patio are looking pathetic; am ready for fall...two pots of mums I had forgotten about and put on the side of the house have burst into bloom!

I am in California and our weather has been good. Warm, but ocean foggy in morning and evening. June gloom arrived a month late, lol that said, I do know how the constant heat can be miserable. In 2014 July was the worst to me. We actually had recorded temps here of 114. It did NOT cool down at night. We had no air conditioning then. Most of my town and parts of santa clara county had power out for nearly a week! I was not affected but my daughter accross town a mile a way was. 4 days in blistering heat they did without power. By the way, she lit a lori grenier candle in bathroom, and it exploded and wallpaper caught fire. Luckily, they were by there when it caught fire!

day after day, the heat went on i was so miserable, one day I just cried. We had fans but they stirred warm air....but at least it was a breeze of some sort. The humidity got so bad at one point the sweating had me having to take potassium I was so weak, andlight headed. I feel so badly for people older than my 72 years, that are infirm, with little recourse in seeking cool areas. At that time our local grocery store cranked up AC and put chairs and a lounge chair inside store the senior center took in seniors for heat relief.

i hear your pain @CrazyKittyLvr2 Believe me .

Lucky you, @CrazyKittyLvr2, I wish we could get some of that.

@MoonieBaby I'm near Albuquerque. Both Arizona and NM have a seasonal monsoon season starting about July first, when rains come up from Mexico. Often they occur daily, at least in some part of the states and bring the majority of our annual rainfall. Often they are torrential downpours. Monsoons aren't just a tropical thing as we're all high desert. Live and learn.

I still leave a window or two open a bit (away from direct sunlight) even with the air on. I love to hear the birds, there's always music out there!

Yes = and you taught me - THANK YOU M'DEAR, very much appreciated.

I'm glad to have learned something important that I otherwise would not have known about the great USA and it's unusual weather.

Thanks @Kachina624 - you rock!

Please be safe during the torrential storms, you and your family and pets - be safe!

@lovesrecess All we need now to make our lives complete is a hurricane, right?
