How damn hot it it where you are.
If we don't get a hurricane or tropical storm out of this we will be lucky.

Now might be a good time to check you hurricane kit, and see what you need.

Looks like we're out of this one, but the season is young.

Stay safe

2. At 6:30 PM, 64 degrees with a light rain, high of 77 expected tomorrow
with occasional thunderstorms.


Life in Central New York: 2 to 4 months of hellish cold, wind and snow in trade for 10 to 8 months of fantastic weather.

21. Actually, we all agreed to tell people in other states that we
pay a lot of taxes because otherwise New york is such a great place to live that it'd be overwhelmed.

45. We had an awful June, though.
It's rained almost every day, and it wasn't really that hot. It'll be 90 in October. I have a feeling that summer will arrive late, but when it does, it's going to be HOT!

33. I know.
Even the ac at 77 is not keeping the room cold.

Just sort of lukewarm.

It could be worse.

My family including my older brothers and sister had to pick cotton in this weather, and no ac.

I was spared that.

60. Northern MN here.
I so much more like it cooler than hot. I am in a sweatshirt as I type. Last week we had to turn on the AC one day. We only use it once in a blue moon, as it is usually cool.

Tomatoes don't like cool so much. Planters next to the house out of the shade on the decks that catch the sun do pretty okay.

Hope it warms up a little bit. :hi:

62. Not to bad
Now that the sun went away, and there's a breeze, we opened the windows. Weather.com says 61, but I would have guessed 58.

Hope yall have not to bad of weather down there this year. Seems like yall in the Easternish half of the country could use a break from that for the rest of the year.

64. It was in the mid-90s last week here in North Georgia.
Today, it's not supposed to go over 90, but stay in the high 80s.
