It's nearly 90 in my part of NY. State. It is humid and kind of unpleasant. At least the picnic wasn't rained out.

Goodness, be careful. Its hot here too, but not that bad. We are 91 and suppose to be in the nineties for the next several days. We are humid though and the meteorologist said a while ago as far as humidity, we haven't seen anything yet........

@happycat I don't know where you are located, but that just wants to make me sit down and cry.

Me too. I'm in Arkansas, and one of the meteorologists last night was calling in Arkansuana.

I thank the Good Lord we have a good air conditioner and that dh is happy to use it.

My grandparents didn't have an a/c, then they got a window unit, but they still didn't hardly use it. I've been thinking about how hot it was in their house. How did we stand it? I know a lot of people can relate.

Southern West Virginia is 70 and overcast, with an 80% chance of rain today.   The entire month has been rainy and wet- - -actually down right soggy.    A severe thunderstorm stalled over us last night, producing heavy showers that caused several mudslides, as well as flooding in areas not prone to high water issues.   Rain is in our forecast every day this week.   

Our tree guy got in one day of hard work last week, taking down 7 huge pine trees for us.   4 trees have been trimmed, topped, and the 1 tree most likely to fall towards the main road was taken down.   We need one more clear day for him to climb and trim the remaining trees, burn the limbs and get ready to take down the trees, which he already has a buyer for.   The ground will have to dry out substantially before he can bring the equipment in to lift the trees onto his logging truck.   Hopefully June will be warm, with more dry days, so we can get rid of trees, and get the stumps ground.   

Removing the trees will reduce the workload on my husband; that lot will be much easier to mow once there are no more broken pine boughs to pick up, nor pine needles to rake and burn.   We see it as money well spent.

I remember growing up in the no AC environment.  Parents had an old wooden farm house with a tin roof.  Somehow as a kid the heat didn't seem to bother me so.

When my first husband and I built our house (now 32 years old) we didn't install AC.  When I remarried seven years later that was the first thing my DH & I invested in.

We are in the 60's here in the Seattle area through at least the next 7 days.....I like  it cool and never complain! Hot weather will come soon enough! Do not like it hot!

Green Bay hit 97 on Sunday and it's very hot for Memorial Day. 70 is our normal temperature.

@Meowingkitty  I agree that dry heat is much easier to handle then humidity with high temps.  It's hot here too, expected to reach over 90 today, but lucky its a dry heat, so I can run the evaporative cooler 24 hours a day and my electric bill is only about $70.

I was in NY last year when it was super hot and very humid.  I was waiting for the subway and I was just hot and sweaty.  God Bless those that have to live where it's hot AND humid.

Right now it's 85 outside and a cool 68 inside.  I love it cold and my 2 dogs stay inside too when it's hot outside.  I have to run and get a few things, so it will be air conditioned house to air conditioned car to air conditioned store. 

Our mall here seems to run the A/C sparingly and claims that the thermostat is controlled in Ohio for a mall in So Cal.  I figure if they can't figure out how to keep it cool enough to shop, I'll take my hot self and my dollars elsewhere!

100 degrees today in Minneapolis. Sooo hot, so early in the year. We have been in the 90s for days.

We’ll be up in the 100s starting tomorrow but it still gets down to the 60s at night. I’m happy as long as that happens because the mornings and evenings are wonderful. It’s when the lows stay in the 80s that I start complaining. However, I will still take the heat any day over humidity, cold, snow and ice!

We're going to hit the mid-90s for the first time this year but we're fortunate to have humidity of 5-7%.  Because we have such low humidity,  I'm able to use an evaporative cooler instead of refrigerated air.  My cooler costs about $30/month to operate.  It gets so cold I have to turn it off periodically during the day and evening.  It doesn't have a thermostat.  It actually puts humidity into the air in the house.
