Another 90+ degree day. Counting down to autumn.

Witchy Woman — Fri, 15 Jul 2016 19:20:08 GMT

I know some people adore summer and the hot weather.

I'm not one of them. I'm in Maryland and it we are expecting over 10 days in a row above 90. Can I admit that I just hate it?

Normally, I try to make the best of any weather, but when it is this hot, I just feel like a dishrag. I spend some time outside in the early morning, go to the gym, then stay inside most of the day. So, I really cannot complain.

Truth be told, I hate any weather extreme. It makes me very anxious for some reason.

Yes, I know there are bigger things to worry about and, for that, I'm truly sorry. I just want to heat to go away. Don't know how folks endure even hotter temps, even when the air is dry.

I so agree with you @Witchy Woman. I have similar weather to you as I'm in Philadelphia. Every May I say to myself "only 5 months till October"!

I find that the older I get, the less I can tolerate extreme temps either way. We had over 100 last Sunday & expecting 90s to 100 over the next few days. While I prefer the summer over the winter - no driving in snow & ice - I actually prefer the autumn when it's still nice out but not too hot. The one thing that I really, really dislike is the short daylight hours in the winter; too depressing when it's dark so much.

I'm in heat wave territory also. But I keep reminding myself that at least I don't have to shovel anything!

@Witchy Woman I couldn't agree with you more. I live just outside of Houston, TX and its been in the high 90's for weeks, heat index 105 - 108. I hate it too! All my blinds are closed and the AC is working over-time. I always feel depressed this time of year. I can't wait for Fall.

@hockey mom

Yes, that's it. I actually feel depressed! My mind just works overtime worrying about everything, every creature, every terrible thing on the planet! I don't know what causes it, but that's what happens.

Add to that the terrible world events and I end up feeling just hopeless about the world. I think it affects how my brain functions!

I hear ya.

I hate the high heat and humidity.

I hate the freezing cold.

I need to live in one of those perfect climate places.

So I need to find a rich old guy who will take me there.

I'm with you, it's been 100 and will be for the next week. I can't wait for fall. I love fall and winter. I hope we get a decent amount of snow this year.

@QueenDanceALot

Well, it's too late for me to find a rich old guy to take me any place

Good luck to you!

Normally, Maryland is a very moderate climate. This summer, however, it's just too darn hot.

My deam home is here and I don't want to leave -- not even sure where I would go. I grew up near St. Louis and it is hot and humid there too.

I hated it as a child and that never changed.

It just sucks the life out of you.

Love, love, this type of weather. It's the only time I use an "outdoor" pool. I swim every day.

I agree. I am in Georgia and we are having 97 degree weather with high humidity. I am miserable and the AC doesn't seem to be able to keep up with is either. We will have this until October...hate it!

AngusandBuddhasMom — Fri, 15 Jul 2016 19:37:58 GMT

I am so with you. I hate to wish away a season but I am home sick with strep throat and a sinus infection and so this heat wave is not helping matters.

Besides Fall is my favorite season!

We are in Arizona and so far we have had I think 20 days of over 110 degrees with more to come. Won't cool down below 100 until late October. Sick of the heat but fortunately we don't go outside much. Only to go from an air conditioned house to air conditioned car to air conditioned buildings.

I love summer but even this is too darn hot! I hope it moderates after next week.

Can NOT stand winter so I'll make the best of this now. The longer days do wonders for energy levels but the heat is sapping it. Pfftt.

Yes, I hated the heat and humidity when I was growing up on Long Island, NY. BUT I LOVE the beach (still do!!!) and I would go there all the time in summer and I wouldn't mind it because of the water and the breeze (well, sometimes there was a breeze lol)

I live inland now in the midwest and I hate it. Yes, I hate it. Except for a couple weeks in Spring (if we're lucky) and maybe another couple in the Fall, the weather is dreadful.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Too bad Mick Jagger is currently taken or I'd hit him up.

But I guess I'd be too old for him.

@Meowingkitty

I could not deal with that kind of heat. Yes, I know it's dry.

But it's like a blow torch!

One June we were in Vegas celebrating a friend's birthday. We took several side trips and one was to the Grand Canyon and Lake Meade. It was 115 both days. It was just unreal. I could hardly function. My skin and nasal passages took months to recover when we got home.

I do not know how people survive those temps and dry heat.

You don't have to shovel sunshine😎 even though I live in AK, I don't have to shovel snow anymore, and when weathers bad, I don't go out. The long, dark winters are not for me though...hopefully, a milder climate is in my future🔮

I envy that you enjoy it. Must be glorious for you.

Love that you swim every day!

So, you are in heaven right now!
