Betting that's not the only thing that's sweaty.

Currently 79F, slight breeze, bird chirping. Great evening to sit on the patio and grill some chicken.

Hazy but it's really smoke from the Swan Lake wildfire

about a year ago, 70's and 80's

this year I don't think we reached above 70 yet

 

[Spacegoat]

Mornings have been a bit fresh. Beautiful weather otherwise.

 

[Cowboy]

Apparently I live on the surface of the sun now.

 

[Brett]

I hope you packed the super duper strength sunscreen.

Did Yellowstone blow?

 

[kikie]

We had some minor rain today. It wasn't cold though.

It was warm on Monday but it wasn't THAT bad. Hell, I mowed the lawn after work.

 

[kikie]

Dry but overcast. Maybe I can switch to summer tires today but then I have to start feeling better.
It will probably rain this afternoon.

Last year it was scorching hot and now it is barely 22°C, overcast and rainy.

 

[gnomefromnome]

oh 100% chance of what???

 

[kikie]

It is raining hard at the moment. So much rain, strange for this time of year.

This is exactly how I feel:

It doesn't help that my A/C broke when it's 103 out. Thankfully, it's getting fixed as we speak so it'll no longer be 92 in my townhouse.

 

[DesertPenguin]

That's the worst. Our Central AC broke last summer and it was a heat wave in the 90s for most of it. Thankfully we kept the large wall unit for downstairs and I had one that my older brother left after moving out of his first apartment. It worked but it's nothing like Central AC.

Today the heat dropped and we have a cloudy rainy day.

 

[Cowboy]

In a moderate risk area for severe weather later today.....yay

That was me a couple weeks ago. Fortunately, the house only heated up to about 80 and the repair was just a capacitor.

I was downstairs for most of it then went to bed but I don't think it was a terrible storm, was it?

 

[kikie]

28°C today.

 

[gnomefromnome]

63 F° overcast

some rain looks likely tonight

 

[kikie]

We have had nice typical Belgian summer weather for the last few days. A lot of sun but also some clouds and between 22°C and 25°C.

 

[gnomefromnome]

that rain tho

 

[Cowboy]

Super late reply but yeah it wasn't that bad at all. Though it was a bit unsettling when the south wind stopped right before that northerly outflow boundary came through. I did block the wind the best I could from reaching my garden because I didn't feel like having my jalapenos blown over again.


Meanwhile, excessive heat warning today.

 

[TB]

Meanwhile, excessive heat warning today.

The disturbing part is it's "only" supposed to get to about 85F today.

 

[Cowboy]

It's currently 78°F but the heat index is already 89°F. I can tell how this afternoon will be

 

[kikie]

Overcast, no sun and still 29°C.

 

[dlshearon]

Still feels like the surface of the sun here.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

That's a whole lotta daytime.
