How many 90-degree and above days have you had this year in your area?
If you don't know, just estimate.

I had three 90 degree days in April, and possibly one yesterday. I've been lucky.

3. Too Many
We're in the midst of a horrible heat wave here in Central Tx. We've been over 100 for 12 of the last 14 days. No relief in sight.

:mad: :nuke:

4. I give you my sympathy
It seems some areas of the country can't get out of the heat, while others have had below normal Junes.

7. None
We've broken 70 several times here in midcoast Maine, and I think we broke 80 once. :P

On the other hand, I think we've only seen the sun twice in June. It's that yellow glow in the sky, right? :think:

9. Two or three, last week
it actually doesn't get that hot here, considering we're on a tiny little rock in the middle of the world's largest ocean, which serves to moderate the temps at both extremes.

13. Too many for me.
The past 2 weeks have been brutal. I hate GA heat---I get so depressed in the summer. Then I hate to hear "Well the winters are so cold up North", where I'm from. I'm like It's fucking WINTER; it's supposed to be cold! I don't want it to be 90 degrees in September!

End of rant. It's like 96 degrees here today and getting hotter tomorrow. It sucks. I can go to our community pool in my subdivision, but it's packed and the water isn't even cold, so I'll stay in the AC.

But whoever thinks that Global Warming isn't happening is dumb or just lives in AC all day. It should be around 94 right now in TX and shouldn't get this hot till late july early august

22. I totally believe in global warming. I am not whining.
I don't like hot weather. Our family does quite a bit to reduce our carbon footprint---we drive a hybrid, give to the NC and NRDC, recycle, bring our green bags to EVERY store. So excuse the fuck out of me if I hate the heat and would rather be in my AC house than with a bunch of mindless people at the pool who don't give a shit about it.

29. I still remember those two days when it got up to 113 degrees.
Edited on Sat Jun-27-09 05:43 PM by MilesColtrane
You could actually hear your brain boiling inside your skull.

And, the sweet relief of diving back in the house for AC, where it was a chilly 88 degrees.

on edit: It's 105 right now and there's three more hours before sunset

52. my brother gave me one of those weather station things
it changes color depending on the temp - gets to bright red at 90 - do I really need a bright red screen for five months to tell me it is hot in Texas? I told my brother it needs to be recalibrated for Texas because 90 degrees really is not considered "hot" here :7

Edited on Sat Jun-27-09 03:37 PM by mnhtnbb
We've had 9 days of 90+--and lots of 89's--this month. It's expected to be 90 or more the rest of the month.

25. None. Here in Western MA it has been WEEKS of mostly cloudy to rainy days - it SUCKS

Day after day after day after day after day....

I would LOVE some summer weather and I would ADORE some sun.

I am a tough New Englander. I deal with the one to two ft snowstorms and winters that last until April. I keep a positive attitude.

But, Jesus Tap Dancing Christ...after SIX fucking months of winter, it would be nice to have a lil bit of summer!

We had frost on May 19! We had a couple of record high (87 degrees) at the end of April, but May and June have been pretty much normal, I think. I hope it never goes to 90.

59. Zero...We only saw 80 once for about a half hour one day in late
April. I don't like the heat (hence living in Maine) but this cold, misty, gray, foggy, downpouring crap we've had to endure for the last month is just awful. It's been so long since I've needed my sun glasses, I can't even find them. It's supposed to stay just like this for at least another week. Ugh.

60. Nearly every day this month has been 90+ and we reached 100 over the weekend.
This week is looking pretty good, however, with lower 90's and upper 80's on the 4th.

63. Nevah!
Living in that kind of heat would be like living in hell. I lived in Portland a while and THAT got to be too hot for me -- I think the hottest I experienced was a little over a hundred degrees. I could not handle it.

What do you do when it's that hot? Keep the windows closed and crank up the air conditioner and stay inside? Drink lots of iced lemonade?
