I just watched the news and the weather Guru said 50 of the last 70 days have been below normal temp.....
Mid August 75 deg highs and 50 deg lows brrrrrrr.??

I was just wondering if any other parts of the country are experiencing this type of temps.????

I1:):scratch:

My friend went thru the east coast last month and got hit with a snow storm...interesting weather? Anyways, it's always 60's in the summer where I live, it's beauitiful :)

yup I1, but your climate isn't too far off from mine! but i'm not complaining. i hate the hot, humid, muggy, nasty days, so this weather is great! (well except for the misting rain this morning.... either rain or don't!!! make up your mind already! :rolleyes: )

Last week we had a record LOW high of just under 80! Then this week we hovered just below 100 (we hit it one day). Now we're back in the 80's. Great for yard work, but not normal! We're usually sitting in the 90's-105 in August. So yeah, we're cooler than we should be. We've been saying it's Oregon weather!

The worse part is that the hottest days seem to be hitting on Wed. & Thur. then cools for the weekend! I've had lots more pool time than my prince!:) He's whined a bit......

This weekend being cooler isn't so bad, he's going to actually detail MY car!!!!:banana:

It's 63 deg at 11am
They said a high of 69 deg .. our normal high should be 85..

It dropped to 49 deg last night...brrrrrr...

I1:)

We set a record low here in H'ville, AL. It was 51° I believe. At 12:50pm it's 71°. Just a few weeks ago, we were hotter at night than we are in the daytime. I think we have just skipped Aug-Sep & moved straight into October.

no wonder about a half an hour after i got home i changed my shorts back into long pants! it's only 60!!! our average high is 84. *someone* messed that up! but i like the crisp chill though!:D reminds me that the change of seasons is on the way! i love the changing of the seasons!

I1........ pretty similar here in southern WI, looking for a high of 72 tommorrow.. I like it. :)

Yes it is nice, no A/C needed....But hopefully we don't have first frost in early Sept!!

I1:)

The cool front extended all the way down into the Gulf of Mexico. I'm east of New Orleans and this morning was greeted with 61 degree weather, what a great day this was. Tonight it's supposed to get into the high 50's.

This front also drove both Hurricanes away from us and towards Florida and up the East coast by tomorrow. Now that's good timing from our viewpoint. Good luck Floridians.

Yesterday was like today is supposed to be....barely 80. Then we're supposed to be up in the 100's for the work week! My prince will be whining! I'll be in the pool... He'll join me when he gets home. I'll be BBQing the dinners & probably just having salads with whatever gets cooked. Then we'll be driving down I5 on Thursday where it will be nearly 110 in the afternoon. Luckily we usually are in the LA basin before the heat of the day & it'll be 90's there. Anaheim's nights are like here temp-wise, but a bit damper. Nights will probably be in the high 50's. Every once in a while....roughly 2 weeks out of the Summer....we have warm nights in the 70's.

Our house isn't really air conditioned. We do have a couple of wall/window units that work well. We just don't hardly use them. Instead we go out back & play in that oval puddle. We also share it with the dogs & often invite the kids over.:D

That sounds like ideal weather over there on the left coast. Shortly, we'll be back to our 110 heat index and it stays at 90 degrees until 9PM. Lucky you.

The benefits of the delta! Those breezes come in nightly & cool things down. Draw back is it's ALWAYS breezy! Blowing from the east when it's hot, blowing from the west when cool. North means burrrrr.....

I'll believe it's going to be in the 100's when I see it. We haven't had a Summer this year! In April we had a week or so of hot stuff, but not much this Summer. It's been very odd!

I know that humid stuff is supposed to feel hotter, but when we've visited in it, we handled it pretty well. Our biggest complaint was how cold everyone turned the A/C down to. You could get frost bit indoors!!:eek:

I know you've been to Florida recently, but don't think that humidity even comes close to here. We're in a bowl with most of N.O. below sea level and surrounded by the Gulf, the River, the marshes and Lake Ponchatrain. Very little breeze during the summers.

Cold AC is survival equipment in these parts.:)

Our first FL trip was also in July....that time we had 110 heat index. This time it was between 98-102. We handle it pretty well. He handled an AZ June trip when it was 116 & raining! Now that was way too much for me!!

It's warmed up a bit here today. It's supposed to be in the 90's all week....they changed their minds from the 100's they predicted earlier.

I think we'll probably have our Summer in Sept. Then I'll be sittin' here with it in the 100's outside. Running out & jumping in the pool, then coming in to get stuff done, then going back out.....

according2me, it's ashame your delta doesn't work like ours! Here it funnels the sea breeze inland, sometimes up to 50 miles! Wind is just a way of life! We don't get as much fog as we used to....my theory is it's from all the buildings. The ground doesn't cool as much as in the past when there was more open space. I honestly don't miss it though! I don't mind the fog as long as I can just stay home. I've got really rusty about driving in it! (was that a pun?):blush:

fog. argh. it's been creating traffic problems all summer long here!! not sure why this summer has been so foggy! it's always just taking it's place when i'm leaving for work! :bawling:

Fog is awesome, people just don't know how to drive :) We're used to it already living only a few miles from the ocean hehe.

what amazes me is with how much inclement weather we get in western pa (snow, ice, heavy thunderstorms. fog, you name it, we have atleast one of it about 300 days of the year!), you'd think people would know how to drive in anything by now! yet they don't! :scratch:

As Benji has mentioned, we have "micro climates" here. The same time we're sitting in the 90's, he's over on the coast in the 60's. In the Winter he'll still be in the 60's & we'll be having highs in the 40's & 50's. We're only about 45 miles apart. But there's a bay, & 2 sets of hills between us.

OK, I came home & now I'm freezing! We're not even supposed to break 80 today! What's up with this weather??? We didn't get as hot as they said last week, it was only in the 80's at Disneyland in August, & now I need to wear socks! The fireplace in the bedroom kicked on this morning!:eek:

got you beat! we hit 32 and frost on my car last week, we are barely reaching mid 70s. I've got my parka ready.

Y not Minot

Yeah, but....I'm in "sunny" California! You're way up in nowhereland!:)

true :bawling: . Its not that bad here, just play alot of hockey

The "make lemonade" thing......

I'm finding things to do other than swim & sun too......yards, wash the car, yoga, laundry.....real fun stuff!:rolleyes:

It's 7:30AM & already in the 70's!! Yea!!! We're going to have a couple of nice hot days!!!:banana:

Benji will be complaining.....his area is going to be warmer too!

Complaining? I'm going for a drive :D

summer has come back with a vengence here. it's so muggy.

the temp isn't too bad-it's only 80, but combine that with a 74% humidity and 71 degree dewpoint, and it's downright nasty out there today! it's like trying to breathe in pee soup! :eek:

Ugh it's so hot...I can't even sleep! That drive was cool though, 130 miles of random nothingness. First time ever I found a road in the USA that's 2 ways but only wide enough for one car lol.

We're supposed to hovering just under 100 again today! Yipee!

Sorry Benji..... I think your fog will be back tomorrow....

Today is another "spare the air" day.... & a high fire danger with humidity in the low 20's.

if only the humidity was in the 20's here.... it was so yucky overnight that since we had the ac set at 66 and the outside temp didn't get below 74, the outside of the windows on our house were completely fogged up! :blah:

i just took a pic of some storm clouds rolling in (hopefully that means a cool down is on the way...)

looks like summer finally decided to show up around here. got the 3 H's going on here all weekend and looks like it wont break till the end of next week.
granted, this is New England and all weather predictions are wild assed guesses beyond 48 hours.

We're back in a "cooling trend".....back in the 90's. On Saturday it was 99 inside!! We were outside & boy was it yucky in here when we came in!!

We actually turned on the 2 wall units to get it cooled down enough to sleep. They work pretty fast. We close the glass paneled pocket door to cut off the unused living room when heating or cooling. We also close off the extra bedrooms. No point in making them comfy, right?;)

I am thankful to not always have the high humidity that some of you all do....but nearly 100 indoors is hot no matter what! Every room has large ceiling fans.....all on high. Yesterday & today I remembered to close the glass & open the awning! That's how it got so hot in here the other day.... I forgot!:blush: There's a reason we have those things on the SW side.......

Hey Benji, that light you have today, in the morning....it's called sunshine!!

A morning in the SF area without fog!!! Amazing!:eek:

It was over 90 over there yesterday...

Hey no kiddin! Man I was fearing for my life, thought that was a comet or somethin! Yeah nice sunroof weather at night lately :)

You'll get your fog back tomorrow..... have you started classes yet?

Yeah started on Sept 1st. Went down to Santa Cruz today and it wasn't no cold summer!

We'll be having another couple days of 100 degree weather! Yipee! It feels wonderful to have some "normal" weather here!

The coast has been a bit warmer than their norm...It was 96 in SF yesterday...

Yeah just a littttle bit. Like almost 50% hotter than I'm used to haha.

man it was 36 this morning :bawling: . Its to early to get cold. It was kind of refreshing though, didnt feel that cold

For the past week or so our lows have been in the mid 60's....warm for us. The highs have been just under & just over 100. This is how August is supposed to be. Normally we'd have nearly the whole month of 100+.

And then it snowed in Colorado....whatsup with that?????

"the day after tomorrow"......????? global warming?

Has anybody had "normal" Summer weather this year??

:rolleyes:

we're gonna be in the low 70's for the next couple of days with rain, rain, and more rain!! i'm not complaining cause i love a good rain every once in awhile! but can i just stay home and watch it? i hate the traffic that results from it!!! it took me 30 more minutes to get home today than usual! :rolleyes:

Same here.....I love rain, & I wouldn't mind drivng in it, if no one else was on the road! There's just so many people that don't have a clue HOW to drive in it. Then they go slipping & sliding into each other.... & into the ones that DO know how.....

Of course, there's always the ones like my prince that used to enjoy the slipping. He scared an "old" lady when we were dating....he was rushing from my house to work, slid on purpose & did a complete 360 & ended exactly where he'd planned. Unforunately, the car in front of him didn't see the humor in it. He loved spinning around in his 442. The front wheel drives just don't play the same.....:rolleyes:

Here we go again....back down in the 80's! I sure hope the ones here enjoyed Summer....all one week of it!! It was in the high 50's this morning..... I put away all my flip flops, again. This is driving me nuts!! (I know, short trip!)

you'd think with pittsburgh's constant mixed bag of weather that people here wouldn't even know the difference between sun, rain, ice, and snow.... but put a couple of droplets of water on the road and every forgets how to drive!! yet i swear we have some form of precip about 5 out 7 days of the week!

ok maybe that's a slight exaggeration! :blush: we've had sun every day since frances left and aren't predicted to have any more rain until thursday, so that's about a week lapse there. but we had some nice dense fog this morning, which is pretty typical this time of the year. if it's not raining, then we probably have fog. gotta love how people drive in that too! i know you guys are familiar with fog! :D
