Perfect Weather Before Next Week's Heatwave.

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Sat, 15 Jun 2024 16:16:10 GMT

Here in NE PA it is an absolutely gorgeous day. In the 70s, a great breeze, blue sky, a ton of sun and most important... no humidity. Tomorrow is to be a repeat of today.

Monday will start a 5 or 6 day stretch of disgusting 90+ degrees and humidity. I just dread it. My 73 year old body does not do well in that type of weather.

Everyone stay safe in this heat. Lots of water for you, and pets, if you have them. Check on elderly family and friends too.

when I lived in Indiana and Michigan those heat waves seemed awful Now that I've been in Florida for six years, I've acclimated to daily temps in the mid-high nineties and high humidity. Funny how your body does that.

I used to live around Evansville, In for most of life.

Summers are hot, but, the humidity would stagger a buffalo.

We moved to Tx. summers are hotter then **** but, humidity is pretty low.

anytime your around a body of water the humidity is gonna be a horror. Galveston, almost killed me down there. I thought I was gonna need oxygen LOL and I was young then.

I ran to the tour bus and hollered "jack up the air" !

@CrazyKittyLvr2 , I'm not looking forward to it either. My lungs are not great and the humidty does me in. I guess I'll be using my AC. You take care.

I have asthma and autoimmune disease and those days make me positively sick. Joints swell up, I can't breathe and I get nauseous.

I saw it's going to be a bad hurricane season, too.

I'm in the metro-DC area. One of our local TV weather guys said that our heat wave will last at least until the end of June! The last of our good days are today and tomorrow.

Beautiful here in NY too while we wait for the heatwave. I really hate the humidity when I sleep but I'm extra annoyed by it because you finally have to break down and turn on the air conditioning. After being closed up all winter I hate having to shut the wndows for any reason.

Nebraska is having a repreve from the high 90's today with a gorgeous day! Next week will be blistering hot and probably very high humidity again. As long as the sun is shining in the blue sky, I'm happy with the weather!

I, for one, could pass up summer, altogether.

My bills skyrocket. You have to shell out for the following:

1. mowing crew (I got 2/1/2 acres. The biggest part is pasture just gets mowed twice a summer.) Front, back and sides gets mowed and trimmed twice monthly.

$$$

2. pay somebody to spray for tiny black ants. $$

3. kill off weeds in the part of the driveway that isn't concrete. $$

4. Birds nest on front porch eaves have to pressure wash the nests down.

5. Sprinklers turn on at midnight. Have to water nightly

at least.

6. have to pack my Yeti cooler with ice packs when you go get groceries.

7. Pat on sunscreen, then, foundation with SPF in it too

I'm in Arizona and we would love to see the 90's as a temperature and I don't mean the low temperature. It's going to be from 105-115 next week and every week until late September. At least there's no humidity to speak of.

96 right now in my north Metro Atlanta suburb 5:20 PM).

I haven't opened the blinds in my house in days, trying to not bring additional heat from the sun into my house.

We have not had any rain at all in 7 days and there is none in the forecast.

I'm watching the Atlanta Braves play right now, game started at 4. I can't believe all those people are there sitting in the blazing sun. I feel for them and the players. There is no way I could do it.

So true, @Meowingkitty. It got hot too soon this year.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 I am also in NE Pa. This was the perfect day. The grandkids wanted to go on a day trip to Lake Tobias to see all the beautiful animals. We walked around for 4 hours and enjoyed the tour. It could not have been a better day to go. I always say I am allergic to summer weather. The heat and humidity sucks the life out of me....so I guess I will be staying in for the week. This is when I start counting the days until Fall begins.

Same here-I have what my Rheumatologist thinks is the beginnings of autoimmune issues-very high ANA-I feel sick in the heat-joints, nausea, all over malaise feeling-I'm assuming it's related to autoimmune. We have a pool and I look like I'm going snorkeling when I'm out there-I have to cover up most of my body or I feel severe issues from the sun.

A heat wave here is 110+. Just turn on the AC.

I'm in the low desert in a rural, agricultural area. We were 114° today, which is quite normal in June when it can reach 120+ degrees. Normally our humidity doesn't hit until July & August but it'll be scorching until the end of September. Hang in there every one and stay hydrated and safe. Come on October, lol.

Hazy, hot, humid will be here soon. I will be staying indoors. Got groceries, picked up meds from pharmacy, and got books from the library. Plan ahead everyone and stay safe. I stocked up on beverages like Gatorade and Sparkling Ice drinks. A/C and dehumidifier will get a workout.
