Today, the top temp I saw for Hillsboro was 104. That was around 3:45 when I left to go to work. Just got home a little while ago and it's still 84. Forecast for tomorrow says 91, which actually sounds nice! LOL

LOL, Vac, our news says temps of over 100 (108 today, 105 tomorrow) for the next five days and then we're going into a cooling trend, 98 on Saturday. I'm so looking forward to that it's not even funny, lol. We're under yet another day of thunder storm and flash flood warnings today, though like the last few days I'm not sure that'll actually happen. The humidity was so bad last night (40% or something like that) and out here we are just so not used to it. Usually I don't complain much about our summer temps but this humidity is just wiping me out and making the high temps unbearable.

40% humidity is bad to you? Wow. Where do you live, I want to move there!

LOL, the So Cal desert! We have a very dry heat from around May to October. The only time we ever experience real high humidity is when we're away from home.

We're a bit cooler today. Feeling fine. Still warm, but not sweltering anymore.

Can we all come visit Ddr, lol? Please???? We just got super cloudy so might actually get some rain today. I know the other day even though it was a short, vicious storm, once it was over we cooled off enough that for the first time in days it was actually nice. I took the kids out about an hour ago to pay a bill and it was reading 112 on my thermometor. It was fairly nice in the van with a/c but getting in and out was miserable.

i've been so concerned about my Mom who is 86. she has one of those swamp coolers. (even though the family has tried to put in ac in the same home we grew up in back in the early 50's). "we", meaning the family have asked her to come to our homes. i talked to her about 4 hours ago. no, she's "fine". she said the house is 80 degrees and she has on "panties and a tank top". she's comfortable. i am so worried about her. but, she's just fine. (she says, and she doesn't want to leave her home). eta: it was 110 where she lives.

Vacanick, I was just coming to say the same thing! We are supposed to hit over 100 today, but compared to yesterday and the day before right now is awesome. It's 11am and only 90 degrees. For comparison, Tuesday was already at 98 by 9-9:30 and yesterday was 95 by that time. Tomorrows high is supposed to be 97 after 19 or 20 days of triple digit temps.

I'm so tired of being hot. This is central/northeastern Wisconsin. It's supposed to be in the lower 80s, not spending weeks and weeks in the 90s and I should not have to deal with today and tomorrow (because it's supposed to finally go away after that)... Today: Sunny and hot, with a high near 98. Heat index values as high as 108. Southwest wind between 9 and 15 mph. Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 75. Southwest wind between 9 and 15 mph. Tuesday: Partly cloudy and hot, with a high near 96. Heat index values as high as 105. Southwest wind between 10 and 14 mph. Tuesday Night: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 71. Southwest wind 5 to 9 mph becoming southeast. It's 7:30 and already about 80 with 89% humidity. Ugh. So hot, so muggy, so not my kind of weather. Worst of all, no A/C. I have one in the bedroom, so if I really need to I can take tim's laptop in there and hang out- maybe. but then there'd work tonight. UPS. Labor. No A/C. I actually work in a converted semi-trailer so on top of no A/C, also no air circulation whatsoever and the sun beating on it all day.

Oh wow Kaili, that is awful! How the heck do ya'll not get sick in weather like that with no a/c (at work I mean.) Our high is supposed to be 90 today and 89 tomorrow. For this time of year that is awesome weather. Though we did go from Thunder storm warnings to wind advisories yesterday and today. 30-40 mph winds, with gusts up to 55.

We work really slow. And bring in gallon jugs of water. It's hot in there on normal days, but I'm dreading tonight. Thought about calling in even. I won't, but I want to. I feel worse for the drivers though- the backs of the package cars will be easily over 120 degrees being shut and in the sun- then on top of that they're working 9-12 hours jumping in and out of the trucks, in and out of the back of the truck, etc.

Today is the first day the temp inside the house hasn't hovered around 90 for at least a week, probably more like a few weeks. I had the kitchen window open, but the drapes drawn to keep out the sun. Then I decided to open the drapes to let air in overnight. The night I did that the temp dropped five degrees in a matter of minutes. Its a little cooler outside these past couple of nights. But before I opened the drapes in the kitchen, I guess the heat/stuffiness was trapped in the drapes. And here I thought having the window open would be enough. It would be 70 outside and still 90 inside. It actually got down into the 70's inside, and its downright blissful! Right now its hovering around 80 and its still so much more comfortable. I've been having some serious connection issues with my Comcast cable internet. The hotter it gets outside, the more I get disconnected. Today is the first time in at least a week I've had a continuous connection all day. *knock on wood*

We got hail, thunder and lightning last nite. When I took the dogs out this morning there was a big pile of hail by the steps. They both got all wide eyed and refused to go off the deck until I went down and touched it. Supposed to be another storm hit tonite...Washington is going to wash away!

Not here in Buffalo. Not since Oct. 12/13th when we had the big snow storm. But I hear they had a few snow flakes in Orlando and much more than that in the Carolinas. Oh, and all this week its supposed to be sunny and in the 50s. I just planted my tulip bulbs on Wed.

No snow in SW Ontario..we here in November are having our wonderful late fall temperatures and sun. Today we are to hit around 50 ish and the next few days we are to be close to 60 with sun. Dh is combining corn (field are still quite wet from all the rain we have had in the past couple of months) but it has to get off sooner or later.

Ouch, and I'm ready to whine because today it only got up to 51 (45 now.) But, it was 80 earlier this week! That's quite a drastic change.

We just got a big scare when our Weather Alert Radio alarm started blasting! We tend to think of tsunami warnings but this time it was to warn of high winds all along Washington Coast. It is snowing north of Seattle. Now why am I not down in South!
