Another very hot day

ALRATIBA — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 15:03:17 GMT

I'm retired and don't normally go outside before noon. I like lazy mornings!

I put off an errand yesterday - because it was too hot to go outside. This morning, I got up a bit early and decided to "make a run for it" before it got too hot.

So I was up, showered, dressed, and fed by 10 am ... (my personal best for time). Just had to make a quick trip around the corner (2 blocks each way) to pick up some packages.

(BTW - my Mackie crushed velvet cardigan came the other day. Very nice! It's dark blue with black cuffs and front edging. It's going to work well with dress pants and indigo jeans!)

I was so surprised to see how many people were outside this early - probably doing the same as I was - trying the beat the heat .... an thunderstorm that is forecast for this afternoon.

The sky is beginnng to turn an ominous gray as I type this.

That's how May thru October is for us every day except we try and get everything done before 8 am when it's over 100. We have days when it doesn't even get out of the 90's for a low.

I like your new velvet cardigan!! Great price too!!

baltimore area also. around 9am it already hit 90 degrees. i think our high today is supposed to be 97, high humidity, heat index around 106. even with the A/C on you can still feel that humidity in the air!

one good thing about the heat......it pretty much kills my appetite.

stay hydrated everyone!

@ALRATIBA I believe we sent the hot weather over to you that we had last week but now it's rain every day and with the humidity it feels like a sauna. This is for the Chicago area. You did not mention where you are located.

@Katcat1

NYC .... The entire week is forecast either blazingly hot or thunderstorms through to Saturday.

Praying the forecasters are wrong!

It is much cooler today here in upstate SC and raining. Dark and overcast sky but less chance of rain later this afternoon. I just got the front pasture mowed and I see more mowing in my very near future.

Baking hot here too. Yesterday I was at the grocery store before 7am to beat the heat and out of there within 20 min but I could feel my head start sweating just unloading my bags into the car and walking my cart to the cart corral and back to the car. Today is a repeat with the heat/humidity. Feel for those who have to work outside all day including one of my sons.

I am hibernating in the a/c for days now. I did run to the corner store real quick this early morning and it was already 84 and humid. Tommorrow slightly cooler and finally the rest of the week is back to normal temps. I do not do well in the heat when I live in the coolest part of the country. Staying busy indoors

The highest temp I saw at my house yesterday was 104F. I hate summer so much! It didn't use to get that hot, this early, here. The lows are in the 60s. I'm so adverse to heat that the 60s are hot to me. I'll just cry myself a river now, as I wait for winter.

It may be 108 in Phoenix but at least we don't have humidity.

It was 116 degrees yesterday in Renton WA.. just outside of Seattle yesterday...

overnight a marine front pushed in off the coast... like air conditioning... and this morning it was 65 degrees. It will be in the 90's today... but still cooler than 116!

We are lucky to have purchased a heat pump a couple of years ago, so our house was a cool 71 degrees inside... but. most of my neighbors were not so fortunate and they cooked. My one neighbor said her house was at 90 degrees inside yesterday when I offered her to come over to my house to stay to cool off... she did not take me up on the offer probably because she did not want to bother me... but I sure wish she had! I had many a hot day and night in my home before having the heat pump put in. I know how awful it is to not be able to cool off.....

I love it! I stay out of the sun unless I'm in the water. I can handle it.

I do feel bad for people who have to work in the heat and full sun. That I could not do.

But I can't stand cold--even if I'm bundled up!

It's 97 here now. Hot and humid and suffocating. Went out, filled the bird feeder and couldn't get back in fast enough. Will not be going outdoors anymore today.

I am off work today...stuck in the house because of the heat, sigh....I did have an early morning hair appt and then picked up groceries.

I have dinner in the crock pot and have swept and dusted...did a few loads of laundry. It's 1:30, now what!!

We are to have one more day of this horrid heat/humidity.

I took a cold shower and shouldn't have bothered to dry off. I was sweating again in 10 minutes.

I have been thinking of moving for quite awhile but not sure where I want to go. There does not seem to be any consistantly moderate weather anywhere. Well, Hawaii, but I don't fly. Then you have those pesky volcanos and tsunamis. lol
