This summer heat is awful.

[DriftwoodSVT]

Our AC bill last month was more than double the previous month. I don't remember temps being this high in the 17 years I have been here. I remember lots of straight 100-101 degree days but this is miserable. I went to bed last night at 9 PM and it was still 98 degrees outside.

Looking forward to retirement in 6 years and moving north.

Been brutal here, no rain. The Gulf is at 92* which is unheard of.

Same here on the lack of rain. Lakes are at near record lows, water restrictions on everything.

It's been pretty normal where I'm at in Wisconsin. Record snowfall this past winter. A little light on rain, but it's been picking up recently. Highs in the 70's and 80's with a few days in the 90's. But we get to endure -30's, no sun, and 6-7 months of salty roads in the winter, so there's that BS of living up north.

We’re setting 100*+ day streak every day in El Paso. Think we’re at 25 and counting.

Was 109 on Monday.

Our nearest lakes in NM are higher than they’ve been in many years. Fed by the Rio Grande.

Down in S TX now and pretty brutal too.

The actual gulf water temp is 92?

Correct. In my area anyway.

That's some pretty warm water.

Holy crap. That’s what will make hurricanes turn into monsters before landfall.

Damn right.

Very true. I guess there's a ton of that Saharan dust up there keeping the rain chances low.

Wow. Are the fish still biting?

Record cold and wet winter here in SoCal. It's in the mid 90's this week and will touch 102 or so this weekend.

Weather is a weird bitch and its cyclical and always changing. Some years better than others.

No idea, lol. I'm sitting in my AC'ed office getting ready to jump in my AC'ed truck with the cooling seats on headed to meet friends at the AC'ed bar, then go home to my AC'ed house.

We went to Az over the 4th and it was 117 as we drove through Parker. I think it was 109 when we came off the water on Wednesday.

Fish are still biting but the GOM temp really is 92, which is insane. Overall, its so bad in FL that they're concerned the coral in the Keys will bleach (which means death).

Buddy went to the water in Blythe that same weekend... Nope, no thanks

Only way to stop this is to go to electric cars and slaughter all the cows.

Yea, it's pretty brutal out. Knock on wood the electric bills haven't hit insane numbers yet.

Feel for all the guys doing labor.

It's been quite warm here in South Central Wisconsin the last month+, most days well into the 80s, some low 90s. My energy bills are the highest I've ever seen but this is also the first summer in a house that is significantly larger than the previous house.

Rain has been sparse other than the last week or so which is at least bringing us from extreme drought levels down to just normal drought levels.

As Relaxed Chaos said though, our winters can be truly awful and it's worse the farther one goes in the state.

Northern Virginia Temps are below average this year. Spent 10 days up near the finger lakes and Temps were were in the 80 and a few in the 90's. No humidity to speak of, that's what makes it nice. Sleeping with no AC windows open in the 60's at night. Crazy July weather for the best here.

 

[13COBRA]

Yep. It's been hot and humid here too.
