2025 - How's the Weather Where You Are?

Ghastly. House temp is 83F and humidity is 86%.
I believe the extended hot and humid weather is starting to take a toll on me (who likely has mainly northern European ancestry). I was okay until I went to get out of bed this morning and experienced dizziness to the point I had to immediately lay down again or I would have fallen. It's a little better now as long as I don't move my head.

Apparently no one, including the weatherman knows how the weather is where I am. At 7 AM this morning, radar showed rain through 8:30 AM. It's now almost 9 AM, and rain intensity is heavily increasing to the point I can barely see across the street, and now radar shows rain through 11 AM. When 11 AM arrives, it may show rain until 1 PM - - - or who knows, maybe rain the rest of the day.

So what good is radar or weather forecasting?

I would also add that late last week, the weatherman on TV said all of this week would be hot and dry.

It seems to me that weather forecasting was better in the 1980s than now.
 
The last two times I was in the grocery, I saw people with shopping carts piled high with bottled water. Don't people realize when they buy bottled water, they're just buying someone else's tap water? If they are concerned about chlorine, they can just draw some water into an open container and let it sit art room temperature for a few hours - the chlorine will evaporate.

You too …. it’s the same down the road ....:) …. waited for heavy downpours on Saturday, that never came.
 
We have a high of 92F/33C with a "real feel" of 106F/41C and a thunderstorm ⛈️ expected in the evening. I'll be watering Lucius before his walks and keeping him in the shade and off the asphalt.

Yeesh, in the winter it's all about keeping his feet out of the snow, ice and salt and in the summer it's the asphalt and pavement.

I really need an indoor running track for that dog.
 
I reiterate what others have said - HOT! It's 90F at the moment (heat index is 100F). A breeze would make it feel a, little better, but hardly a breath. Forecast says near 100F today and tomorrow. I wonder if there will be meal delivery tomorrow. If there is, it will be brutal without AC in the car.
I went to WalMart early this morning to bring back some ill-fitting clothing. As long as I was there, I shopped for about 45 minuted. When I went back out, opening the car door was like opening the oven door on Thanksgiving even though I had all the windows down about 2 inches.
 
I was surprised to keep hearing how hot people have been, especially a friend in Michigan and another in Germany. We are having an unusually cool start to summer as was most of spring. No complaints. I hate hot weather.

While much of the country has endured a barrage of historic floods and punishing heat and humidity this month, California’s summer has been surprisingly tame.

The Bay Area is already on track for one of its coolest starts to summer in decades, and forecast data suggest that trend isn’t going anywhere. The Climate Prediction Center calls for continued below average temperatures across the state, essentially through the end of the month.

What's there to say? Some ol', same ol'. 95F right now - heat index is 102. Meal deliver wasn't canceled. I got home just in time to miss a short rainfall, but of course, it didn't cool down at all! I keep hoping the forecast is correct that the temp will moderate by tomorrow.
 
Just looked up my weather on the phone app. It's 92, and says it "feels like" 103. It's always hot and humid in this area at this time of year, but this year seems to be particularly bad.

Every day each resident of my building gets an automated call (sounds like A-I) asking us to turn up the temperature in our apartment about 4 degrees between 3 and 7 PM and not to use any appliances at those hours, to save on the building's electric bill. Are they out of their minds? I've got it at 80 already; no way am I turning the thermostat up to 84. I don't think anyone else is doing that either. Our health is more important than worrying about the building's electric bill. (I'd rather pay a few pennies more on my condo costs if I have to!)

Deb, do you have no air conditioning? Your situation sounds awful.

No, not even in my car (today I did what that did in the old days - roll down the windows and let the breeze do the cooling). Usually I figure the 4 or 5 days a year of discomfort precluded the cost of an AC, but it seems it's been 85 or more (with a few exceptions) since mid-May. My house gets like a Devil's Island sweat box as the day wears on. It's cooler in the cellar, but what can I do down there? My computer and TV are on the main floor. I have ceiling and window fans, but they just blow hot air around. Monday I was having vertigo and I attribute that to heat stress.

Seven months ago I was whining about snow shoveling.
