Will It Ever Come?

Kachina624 — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 20:28:45 GMT

I think we in the Southwest have had one, or maybe two, fall days so far while summer hangs on.

@Kachina624 - Here too. It's been in the mid to high 90's all week here in the Bay Area. We are not used to that for sure. I am ready for Fall.

I wish I could send you some nice cool north eastern air! So sorry you are still having so much hot weather. Being a New England girl, I just do not deal with heat very well.

DH wanted to check out property in Florida and I asked him who he was taking with him?? (LOL) I meant it.

Today, the air was a pleasant cool.

And the sun was a pleasant warm.

My body was soo confused!

I hear you! I live in Silicon Valley and it's dreadful! I don't remember it being this hot in October and I have lived in the Bay Area my whole life.

Yes, it has been record breaking heat. So far October has been behaving more like it's September's evil twin, lol!

@Desertdi. You probably get the prize as I've heard it's been 110° in Phoenix. It's a chilly 88° in Albuquerque today. At least it's been in 50s at night.

@Parischic I live about a block from the Bay and it has been beastly hot here and as I'm sure you know, living this close to the Bay, most people here don't have AC! Usually it's hot in Livermore, Pleasanton and one expects that but this close to the Bay - Egads! - not used to it here. Hoping we all get some relief soon.

If you live in WV, there is no guessing, you "know" winter is coming! Months of cold, dark days.

Bare apple trees and leaf color are our first signs, getting darker earlier, cooler nights, the appearance of the big brown wood spiders and lots of field mice, the foggy mornings, the actual time change, and the smell of woodsmoke from the chimney make it very clear to us what's coming. I have no excitement for anything related to fall and winter.

Here in the Northeast it's going up to almost 80 tomorrow!!

We have been 10 to 15 degrees OVER the "average" every day in October. There has NEVER been anything like it. And, of course, NO RAIN. Oh yeah...and the SMOG and pollen. Trees haven't dropped their leaves, and the birds seem "confused". (So am I). di

Winter? We haven't even broached fall yet. Apparently, we'll get a taste next week. I just wish we would get some regular rain again so I don't have to water so much.

@LindaSal I have to agree... I can not deal with the heat. Many years ago I temporarily moved to Florida to help out with my parents. After 1 year, I finally got back to Pa. It was such a relief to come back to the four seasons...especially Fall. I could never live in a hot climate.

yeah I live in Florida now. It's been 88-90 degrees lately but dew points of 79 and humidity 79%. The air feels wet. Just going to the mailbox does me in. After a typical summer here, steamy and in mid nineties every day, I would welcome a respite. Even just a few degrees would help. Still wouldn't go back to the Michigan winters though

@JudyL
It's supposed to be in the mid to low 80's next week but that's not going to help now. I feel bad for the people in the East Bay and up in Santa Rosa, Napa, Sonoma .My friend lives in Gilroy and she said it was 104'. The good news is the sun will set at 6:45 pm!

Re: Will It Ever Come?

bmorechick — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 23:40:35 GMT

I hope not ever! It's still warm here in SE MD. 78 today with 87% humidity. I'm thrilled. Few more days of warm and humid, then a few cool days sadly, then in high 70s again.

The longer it stays warm the shorter time I have to deal with dreaded fall and winter.

Re: Will It Ever Come?

Zaimee — Sat, 05 Oct 2024 00:27:49 GMT

It is 8:23 pm and the temperature is mostly cloudy and 83 degrees but feels like 91 with 78% humidity.

Enjoy your Fall but I'm still wearing white capri pants!

South Florida.

@Zaimee , just between you and me, I wore a pair of white capris last week too. I have a steadfast rule of no white after Labor Day but oh my gosh it was so hot. It was like Autumn hadn't even been invented yet much less here.

It's so ingrained in me not to wear white pants after Labor Day that I just can't do it. Even here. Which is silly I know. I mean the northern tourists come down all winter sporting their tropical clothes, white pants, shorts etc. We give them a pass because they are desperate to escape the blizzards and negative wind chills. I get it. 😉
