We had some ominous looking clouds over Hollywood tonight too. I thought it might rain but then I decided it must just be the grey cloud following Ben Affleck's career or something.

Tishala, you are so funny! Yeah, the wind gusts are incredible right now in my area. So, no wind in your area?

Yeah somewhat, but I feel like they were worse yesterday. Maybe I'm wrong though. I often am!

Strong here too Eggie, has been since yesterday, and cold too. I was out with a headache, but Darren decided not to take the kids to their baseball practices this afternoon cuz he said the wind was too bad and he figured they'd get sick going out there.

I suppose you're sending that stuff my way, Skootz? I love thinking about you and the family enjoying the pool. Don't forget the sunscreen, though.

Skootz...poor RG isn't getting the best "sunny" vacation while here in SoCal! The weather pattern at this time of year is called "June Gloom" and today was a classic scenario of overcast, cloudy skies and a bit cool. I know she would have rather been with you at your pool and warm weather!

Eggie, I was talking to RG on Saturday, she couldn't believe that we were in the 80's and she was in CA in the 60's. I know that even if the weather wasn't as warm as she would of liked, the company and warmth of her TVCH friends warmed her up.

Skootz, what a sweet thing to say! I have loved having RG and her family out here in "Junie/gloomy" Southern California where they added sunshine to our lives!!

A friend and I were discussing air conditioning now that the hot weather is here. Neither of us even had central air until 6 or 7 years ago, and we marvelled at all the years we slept with fans and open windows, praying for a cool breeze, and now it seems everybody has it and thinks its a necessity---we only get the really hot and humid stuff for several weeks a year, sometinmes not even that much. I can remember how we would practically live outside, and on really hot nights put the tv on the patio and stay out there as long as we could, then sleep on the lvingroom floor in front of a fan cause it was too hot upstairs. We survived, but AC is so much nicer. Anyone out there still making do in the heat? Anyone who actually loves this kind of weather and wouldn't think of complaining?

Making do outside on the patio, no, thanks. With West Nile now all over the US, I think I'll just crank up the old a/c and preserve my health.

My house has central air but I've hardly ever used it - perhaps once or twice a year since moving here in 1999. Even though our summers can get very hot & humid, my house stays reasonably cool most of the time thanks to the number of very tall shade & evergreen trees on my lot. And the breezes from all the surrounding fields help too. Last summer was lovely - on the cooler side of normal with good rainfall. But it's been downright hot the last few days and just a dry spring overall (although given this winter's record snowfall, the lack of rain hasn't been much of a problem yet). Definitely not my favorite type of weather so I'm crossing my fingers that it isn't a sign of what to expect come summer. Yesterday I actually felt a bit sick after working out in the sun and heat for a few hours and had to take refuge for a little while in my basement oasis. Boo global warming!!! We did get a fair amount of rain from the storms that came through last night & early this morning though. Violent winds, lots of thunder and lightning too. (I missed some of the Tonys because my satellite went out and I couldn't get any sound to go with the extremely fuzzy picture on an old rabbit ears set. Guess I should just put up a new roof antenna 'cause the old one is falling apart.) And then sometime before dawn the rain & thunder stopped and the birds came out chattering so loudly that they woke me up. Looked so strange out there - the sun hadn't risen yet but my yard was lit up by an eerie, greenish-yellow glow while the sky high overhead was still dark, dark blue. The tree branches were blowing wildly in all directions. Only a few were down though; guess January's ice storm took care of most of the suspect ones. (I had to start a second brush pile after cleaning up from that storm. It ended up being bigger than the first pile, which was already huge!)

LOL, central air? Coolers? Right now I'm wishing we didn't turn the heaters off and wondering if I'd look silly starting a fire. It's 60 and the wind is blowin and I'm shivering, lol. This morning was cool too, in fact the kids wore jeans and sweaters to school and didn't complain. Throughout the day it got cooler and cooler and windier and windier. Oh, maybe it's the danged sunburn I got this weekend, but really after 90+ temps for a few weeks this is ridiculous!

Weird weather here today, or so I was told. We drove home from San Diego, it was very cloudy. We got stuck on the 215 (maybe?) right near Perris, Ca for an hour or so and when we finally got moving saw it'd been raining further on down the road. Came down the 138 (which is a horrible highway to drive during good weather) and saw there had been a couple spots with flash flooding. Mom said it just sprinkled here but there was thunder storms again. When we got home at 6:30pm, it was still 94 and just as humid as could be. Even now it's still 78 and just miserable (we're so not used to humidity here, high, dry heat I can handle, but not this sticky stuff, lol!)

After weeks of triple digits we had the most beautiful weekend here. It was low 90's all weekend with a cool breeze....ahhhh, perfect. <<<just had to add that every darn time I type Beautiful I think of the movie Bruce Almighty and his constant "B E A UTIFUL" line>>>

It has been incredibly oppressive here in NY. High 90s and and incredibly humid. You cannot even breathe. This has been a terrible summer, over 20 days over 90.

You are invited to move to the great Northwest. Yesterday it was 95, hot! But the humidity was low, so one can stand pretty well. However, temps in the 90's in the summer only happen about 9 times on average. This area is as close to heaven as you can get, weatherwise.

We are having lovely sunny weather, high 80s, almost no humidity. Nice break from the awful furnace like heat and humidity from previous weeks.

I am in Washington, DC where it is in the high 90s with tons of humidity. I also have been outside all day in the sun, working, since Saturday. I can't wait to get back to Vancouver...

We tolerate the heat by taking luke warm showers, wearing light cool clothes and staying in air conditioning. The shower will lower your body temperature. The humidity has no remedy unfortunately. It's just plain old miserable.
