Still smoky from wildfires elsewhere. Only moderate air quality warning, some of northern BC has warning of 10+, currently worst air globally. Will be delighted to pick up an air purifier.
 

August is a decided improvement over a beastly hot July. We are back to our quite livable desert summer weather - warm during the day but cool overnight. Our forecast for the foreseeable future is for highs in the upper 80s, lows in the low 60s.
 

It 89 and rising. The wind is horrible. It caught my car door a while ago and I thought it would tear the door right off the car. I never heard of that actually happening but I really felt like it could.
 
Today the smoke has dissipated for the most part, but with all the wildfires on the west coast of this continent, it's awful here, off and on. I'm in Oregon. The closest fire is 100 miles away. They are all over the place. We've done this to ourselves, folks. Now we pay.
 
We had scattered light rain here this morning,this afternoon sun has appeared,a bit humid with a breeze. temp 82
The next couple of days will be hot/humid temps near 90 Sue
 
Monsoon season here in NW AZ has been a no-show :( We could use rain! Today is very pleasant...97* with 11% humidity. It's been in the 100's for weeks so this seems "cool"..haha.
 
Even thought the calendar says Sept,we're still enjoying summer warmth here in WNY,yesterday a p.sunny/humid day temp was 86
This upcoming week more of the same, with a cool down by the end of the week
 
Theres some things out in the Gulf that the weatherman said we need to start watching, so here we go again!!! Just finished getting carpet fixed from Harvey. Got plenty of water etc so thats a blessing. Rain forecasted for next several days!!!

Correct, the rain forecast shows rain for at least a week. The high pressure zone is pushing it in to the westward direction towards us. Hopefully it will miss the Rockport area that was all but wiped out last year. My neighborhood did not flood last August so I will stay put unless it grows to a Cat 5. Hope for the best and good luck.
 
I live in NW AZ. Phoenix is SE about 180 miles and Las Vegas is 100 miles north of us. Our elevation is 3400 ft. so we don't get the stifling heat like Phoenix. We're about 10* cooler throughout the year. Our Monsoon season is ending but it's been a no-show here for us unlike Phoenix that's gotten all kinds of nasty stuff.

Our temperatures are moderating into the mid-90's during the day and this morning it was only 70 (that was at 6:30am...haha). What keeps our temps from being unbearable is there is not much humidity. It's very dry. Yesterday it was "up" a little at 11%. :)

I grew up in MI and lived in NW PA for over 25 years so I miss the Fall with the changing leaves but I don't miss the humidity that summers can bring or the cold winters. I lived in SC for a few years and S. TX (and of course, I grew up with Lake Huron just right our back door) and I miss being near water.

For all of you near Houston, I hope that that hurricane doesn't develop. Nobody needs that. When I lived in SC (Myrtle Beach) hurricane Hugo came through and that was frightening. Stay safe.
 
Now it looks like Louisiana could take a double hit as predictions are keeping both of the storms east of Texas just barely. But everyone knows it is way too early to be safe anywhere. History has proven that over and over.
 
Today was a gloriously hot sunny day..as was yesterday. Not too hot, just right at about a touch over 80 deg, so we were able to go out and do stuff and not be uncomfortably hot and exhausted with it..
 
Today we are starting a new Heat wave for the next few days . Temperature now is 98 degrees ! I feel bad for the kids that started school last week. No air conditioners in the class rooms ,lunch room and gym !:sunshine:
 
The past couple of days here in WNY have been hot/humid,yesterday we hit 90,heat index of 95
A cold front passed thru last night,a little rain this morning,still humid, but the temps next couple of days will be in the 70's Sue
