It only got down to 70 degrees overnight. Holy Moly!!! The NWS had originally been saying it was going to get up to 88 here today, but now there saying 90. Oh well, this is the last really hot day. Tomorrow is to be in the low 80s and then they're calling for at least 5 days in the 70s!

It's killing me...can't hardly stand to do anything outside.

They say it's gonna cool off some here soon...like that probably means October!

Can you beleive 73 yes you read right 73 degrees and nice soaking rain in July in North Texas. I am pickled tink . Sure a break from the 100 degrees we had yesterday almost winter feeling.

I can't wait for that!!!! 70's on the extended forecast for as far as the eye can see...this is our last hot day....I'm glad because Mark is a roofer and he's working with pitch right now and it burns so bad, not to mention it's hot up there...........I don't know how they can breathe out there on the roof.

cooler temperatures please. This has been horrid. I'm so looking forward to something cooler. Hope it isn't some kind of weird joke.

Our heat wave finally broke today - YIPEE!!! We were up in the high 90s with heat index between 100-115 I think one day was 116 or 117. We swapped weather with Texas here in the midwest I think! Today after a week or 2 long heat wave, we're down in the 80s...ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Weird that I think the 80s are cool Weather has been weird worldwide. I have a friend in NSW Australia who's been saying their winter has been warmer than usual, and weird too. Hmmmm...global warming? return of the ice age? Who knows...I'm just so glad I could get out and MOW today! Course my weed wacker crapped out on me Can I say crapped out?

Sorry to hear about the weed wacker. That's a pain.

you're lucky we've been in the 100's (110 yesterday with heat index) and low for the night only drops to 90. my air conditionor rarely cuts off and I have it set for 80 inside.

suppose to rain today

OH yea! It's currently 95 with a 100 heat index, code orange air quality, just lovely.. NOT. I can't BREATHE. My chest hurts like my heart wants to tear out thru it. THIS SUX! The rain just better get here tonight, and cool things off... that's all I got to say about that!

It hit 100 yesterday in Nasdhville, TN but we've had thunderstorms today. Dropped the temp a lot but the humidity went up so high it was just as bad as yesterday or maybe even worse.

Yeap the thunderstorms hit us just a little while ago. Hopefully that will make tomorrow better. At least I always get a lot of moss roses blooming the day after a thunderstorm. Not sure how that works lol.
