How's your weather today?

Gee, another wonderful sun rise over the Pacific this morning. It's now about 7 a.m. and 70 degrees. High today should be about 78 to 80.

Rinse, repeat for 365 days. :)
 

Most of this week has been hot as all get-out. I HATE the extreme heat, so I plan my activities so I don't have to be out in the worst of it. If I get too hot and can't cool off, I feel quite ill and VERY crabby.
 

Well, I think it pretty much rain all during the night and the place has now had a good soaking. So, no need to water the garden today. Thank goodness. I cant actually remember how long this dry spell has lasted. May was very dry for us and it has continued into June. I reckon that this continuous spell has been at least 3 weeks. However, before that, most of May was similar altho maybe not as warm. So, this is a bit of a relief for the gardens.

No doubt we will be moaning about the rain soon. :)

Anyway, it is currently cool and overcast. Temp is 11C.
 
Our mornings are getting chilly it was down to 9c this morning ..I live in South Australia ..we don't get snow ..some areas get frost ..not us because we live near the beach ......Daytime temp today was about 16c here today ( Sunday) the lowest daytime temps we get mid winter is around 8c ..We are just heading into winter June ,July ,August is winter in Australia
 
We're sinking into a bit of a drought...almost 7 inches below normal rainfall for the year. I spent much of yesterday...in 95 degree heat...mowing the yard, in anticipation of some much needed rain coming mid week. I set the hose in the garden for a couple of hours after Supper, as the dirt was starting to crack. The long range forecast on AccuWeather.com doesn't look too promising for June/July...we may be headed into a long hot dry Summer.
 
It's supposed to get up over 100 F here today. WAY too hot to be out doing anything. Yesterday Bonnie commented on the weather by lying on her back with all her feet in the air right under the swamp cooler vent. I suspect she'll do the same today. I might do the same thing!
 
Beautiful weather here all this week mid 70's to mid 80's sunny & blue skies. Warmer weather is coming though and record setting heat is on it's way to the southwest.
 
My temp. in my car said 74 but that sun was beating down hot!! I know I'm going to put the air on today. Maybe it's the humidity acting up again.
 
We're driving to Lexington for a concert tonight. They said it would be in the high 50's or low 6o's and to dress accordingly. Sounds good to me.
 
It has been a mixed day of sun and cloud. But mostly dry. Temp around 16C and it now looks like we are in for a decent sunset.

103 degrees F here right now. "Feels like"... 109. High humidity. Could barely breathe this morning. Felt like we were in a steam bath. Did get in 18 holes of golf. One of the guys quit after 9 saying his body couldn't take anymore. The other two of us weren't that smart!! :>)

Yesterday, I got in my truck in the driveway and saw this.

That shows the outside temperature. But, the black truck attracts heat and the sensor really gets hot. After driving a ways, it came back down to about 105.

Humidity supposed to mitigate tomorrow. Still to see temps in the mid to upper 90's for the next few days.

I couldn't even BEGIN to play golf in that kind of temperature, not to mention the humidity. At least here the humidity is usually very low so it isn't quite as sticky and muggy. I hope you have AC in that truck!

Yep, we've become soft and addicted to air conditioning. I used to never use ac in my truck. Working outside most of the time, I felt I was better prepared riding in the ambient temperatures. As I've aged... and work less outside... I use the ac quite a bit.

We play golf in all weather. If the course in open, we play. Bitter cold or hot temps... we play. We usually have the first tee time of the day. These hot days, that gets us done about the time it's really heating up. I don't believe my old body would tolerate playing in weather like we had this afternoon... hours after we finished our morning round.
 
Well, that's not so bad then -- I envisioned you trying to play in 100+ temps and high humidity! I can barely remain alive in that kind of weather, much less play golf. I stay out of the heat as much as I can -- if I get too hot I feel quite ill. Years ago I was at an airshow (the Thunderbirds!) on the 4th of July and I started to get way too hot and told the people I was with I had to get out of the heat, but they said I was just a wimp and it was all in my head. Everybody wanted to stay and I was trying to be a good sport about it, but about 10 minutes later I fainted dead away right out there on the tarmac. I woke up in an ambulance. Not the greatest experience of my life, to say the least. Next time we went to anything outside like that, I took my own car so I could leave if I needed to. Even if I drink gallons of water, I just don't cope well with heat.

When we were stationed in Alabama, I'd get up very, very early in the morning and do whatever housework I had to do because I just couldn't bear to do if after the day started to heat up. Of course, it never really cooled down a whole lot overnight, anyway. Terrible summers there, but it sure was beautiful with all the greenery.
 
90s here all week. Just had an attic fan installed today so the A/C doesn't run all day long.

Should have done it long ago.
