How's your weather today?

Hmm. Well, I'm sure that no one cares but the citizens of my town here in Arizona, but I was just out on my patio, briefly fer shur, but it was 108°. (4 p.m.). It was 92° in my pool. I trying to decide if I should go and put my bathing suit on. I guess it would feel OK as soon as I got wet, but that isn't exactly cool. Maybe I'll wait 'till the sun goes down. smilie - swimming.gif
 
It has been almost that hot here today, too, Peppermint Patty. Absolutely miserable. It's hotter than usual here right now, and it isn't cooling down here at night much, either.
 

Been in the 90s, but cooled down today, lots of cloud cover and a mild breeze....soooo nice! I hate the heat! Took the opportunity to finish with my lawn mowing, had the weedy areas to do. Also pulled and cut some big ones. Guess it must've been in the high 70s, never did check the thermometer. They said we'd get some rain, but except for a few drops it never happened, had to get out the sprinkler and hydrate my brown lawn. Small area with grass, but still try to keep it alive.
 
The average temperatures have been climbing for the past several years....2015 was the warmest year in the past 100, or so, and 2016 is on track to surpass that record. Climate Change appears to be more and more real. There was a news report about temperatures reaching 128 degrees in India, a few days ago....causing quite a few heat related deaths. Here, in the middle of the nation, the heat and humidity has been brutal for June..with daily heat indexes over 100....makes me wonder what kind of heat July and August will be bringing.
 
We had thunderstorms in the wee hours of the morning. Right now, it's beautiful. Sunny, blue skies, breezy, with low humidity, 80ºF (27C)
 
So hot here today you could barely breathe, and the humidity was up, too (from the 15 drops of rain we got last night) so our evap coolers don't work as well. I gave up trying to do anything late this afternoon and took a nap in my recliner, which I pushed directly under the ceiling fan!
 
Really cold today in Sydney today with strong winds coming of the snow on the mountains west of the city.
The washing on the line is dry almost as soon as it is hung out.
 
We're finally getting some Much Needed rain...supposed to rain all weekend, with a total accumulation of 2 to 4 inches. So far, its a nice slow soaking rain, which will do some good...rather than huge cloudbursts that just cause flash flooding.
