Is anyone else ready for autumn yet?

[UMTerp01]

It is so hot here in the mid Atlantic/northeast area and the 90s look like they are here to stay for at least the next 15 days. I hate this time of year with high heat and humidity. I don't do anything outside this time of year. I either bring my lunch or have it delivered to my office because I'm not walking outside in all this heat in a suit only to be drenched with sweat upon my return. I am so much more easily agitated this time of year because it's so hot that little things that normally wouldn't piss me off make me now want to slit someone's throat. I basically go from the car right to any air conditioned place. Any grocery shopping I do is either done very early in the morning or late at night. I even switch cleaners in the summer because my usual one doesn't have A/C. I play tennis at an indoor club, I workout from home.

I am lucky that my family has a beach house so I am able to escape the extreme heat on the weekends by going to the shore. But I'm over it. I'm so ready for autumn. Crisp, cool air, sweater weather, relaxing hikes as the leaves are at or near peak and I can enjoy and not be sweating buckets. I NEVER complain about the winter being too cold or too snowy because I love the cold. But people who do complain in the winter about how they can't wait for summer and are now complaining....those are some of the people whose throats I want to throttle. All winter you complained about it being too cold. You wanted summer so now deal with it. But I'm over it. I'm over summer. Rant over.

1. ME!

Houston resident here. Will be in the mid to high 90s here for the next who-knows-how many more weeks. Love the cool weather and can't wait for it to get here.

3. The southwest has been in triple digits for the last 2 weeks

even where I am, where the mile up altitude usually moderates the temperatures quite a bit. The monsoons should have started by now but that massive, hot high pressure area has been pushing things so far south that even Mexico has been dry. The flow hasn't even started, let alone gotten established.

When this SOB moves to the east, I'm afraid people are going to die from the heat.

I always hurt worse in winter, but I'm generally more comfortable as I can always put more stuff on. In summer, there's a limit, at some point you run into skin.

4. Then you don't want to read this:

Massive heat dome forecast to bake much of U.S. by late next week

snip...

The worst of the heat wave may still be seven to nine days away. Forecasts this far into future carry with them substantial uncertainty, although confidence that a significant event is likely is boosted in this case due to forecast model agreement.

The source of the predicted heat dome is the desert Southwest. By early next week, the dome will shift into the southern plains. It is forecast to reach maturity by the middle and latter parts of next week when it may sprawl from the Rockies to the Appalachians.
