1. A nice 61 degrees here along the Bay.

[Xipe Totec]

7. Which bay? Corpus Christi? Galveston? Chesepeake? Houston? Back Bay?

I know you mean S.F., but really...

:rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Not Houston or Galveston...It was 105 here last weekend.

We were told we could expect a "cool down" to the low to mid 90's this weekend. :)

[Webster Green]

25. We claim the term "bay" as our own.

I was listening to the radio in Tampa one time. When they called it "The Bay Area", I went ballistic. B-)

[Horse with no Name]

35. "City by the Bay"

yep....that would be it.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Tell me about it! It's in the 90s here in NY, sweltering, and we also had a hail storm today!

:wow:

[defendandprotect]

12. They wee suggesting earlier you might get a tornado -- be happy with hail -- !!

We've been at 99 and 100 here in NJ --

Big storm came thru tonight but we seem to have gotten light version of it so far!!

[Rhiannon12866]

32. Yikes! We did have a tornado a few years back, but it hit just South of here...

But the way things have been going, no place is safe. And, you're right, I'd choose hail, any day... :scared:

Where in NJ? I have family in Ridgewood and Franklin Lakes. My aunt has a really lovely flower garden there in the Garden State, hope it's okay... :hi:

[defendandprotect]

34. I'm in Central NJ --

Tho my son and wife are in northern NJ --

We were fine here -- storm came thru last night -- a little lightning but no

damage as far as I know -- great day today.

Hope everyone is OK -- it was a really wide ranging storm -- !!


:hi:

[Drale]

3. Its was 100 here yesterday, last night we got 5 inches of rain

and today it was 60. Crazy stuff going on.

[murielm99]

17. Just like here.

I am not that far from you.

It was 97, then 93, now 54 today. I wonder when our local high school will start the football games. That is how it feels this evening.

[Arctic Dave]

4. 30 degrees with 35 MPH winds today.

Had an occasional snow flurry.

Summah Time!

[one_voice]

5. 100 + yesterday...

same today, gonna be high 90's tomorrow. Supposed to be nice again by Monday.

[tinymontgomery]

6. 99 in North East NC

North Carolina, Supposed to hit 100 tomorrow then back down to mid 90's.

[liberal N proud]

8. It was 96 here yesterday and is 69 now - 70 tomorrow

The weekend looks to be cool compared to last weekend.

[frazzled]

9. After a string of 95+ days, we are at a current high of 52

We walked to dinner for our 37th anniversary and froze our patooties off. After a decadent meal with wine pairings (6 different wines, omg), we had to take a cab back. The weather is too damned cold. Although it's good: we never could have eaten or drunk that much in the tropical weather.

[tnlefty]

21. Congrats on your anniversary!

:toast:

[RebelOne]

10. For 12 days, we in Georgia have been in the middle '90s.

My car A/C quit, so if I have any errands to run, I go in the morning. Otherwise, I stay in the house with the A/C on at 60.

[cordelia]

11. Thanks, I'd lost track of the number of days

No end in sight. May was odd - cold for a few days, then August hot.

edit: typo

[SmileyRose]

26. 60

someone on the DU is going to read that and have a seizure.

:)

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. Above average temps, drought conditions, stage 2 water restrictions...

No end in sight.


Yay!


x(

[Tx4obama]

14. It was 105 at the airport there in Houston a few days ago.

The 100 degree heat every day here is MISERABLE!
Water bill is sky high.

At my house I've had one hour of rain in April,
one and a half hours of rain in May,
and so far 30 minutes of rain in June :(

[MadHound]

15. What kills me is that out here in the Midwest

We've been suffering from this heat for over a week now, yet it is only when it hits the East Coast does it make the news.

Once again, we're simply ignored or dismissed as flyover country.

[defendandprotect]

23. Looks like ...

world scientists are being gagged -- so you can bet the Weather Networks

certainly are, as well!!

Quite a number of years back -- one of the Weather stations confirmed -- confirmed --

that NJ temperatures were indeed 25 degrees above normal -- making clear this wasn't

just about one day! That was the last time that was ever heard!



What has to be understood is that there was a 50 year delay in our feeling the first

effects of Global Warming -- it got off to a slow start.

However, that gave the oil industry their opening and cover to lie to the public.

Basically we are only now feeling the effects of our impact on nature up to about 1960!!

[Karmadillo]

18. This is the moment for Obama's historic global warming speech! Gobama! Let's save the world for

our children!

[seabeyond]

19. i am dyyyyying. we had the hottest low tempt last night. my son told me today. nt

[justabob]

24. those hot low temps are the worst

I can deal with the hot during the day, for lots of days, but when it is 95 degrees at midnight..... misery.

[krispos42]

20. So, deniars, where's your Steady Global Climate now?

:rofl:

[FLPanhandle]

22. I'm working in NYC this week and can't wait to get back to Florida

It's actually cooler there.

[sakabatou]

27. It's a balmy 61 degrees out right now and...

a high of 76 degrees tomorrow. Yep, certainly melting.

[amborin]

28. cool June weather along the California coast

[Gregorian]

29. The banana slugs are out in force.

I saw some prized ones today.

[grasswire]

30. beautiful here in the Rose City

A gorgeous day today, in the 70s partly cloudy. The fleet is in town for the Rose Festival; the Grand Floral Parade on Saturday will have perfect weather.

[stevedeshazer]

33. Cool. Except for the bridge lifts and the tourists.

Tourists from Estacada and Scappoose, that is. They're the ones not wearing cameras and 'Hello Kitty!' backpacks. They're the drunken ones.

Or the hipster kids like my son bumping into each other at Waterfront Park because they can't stop looking at their iPhones.

Ahhh, the Rose Festival. It's a freak show that I love and stay away from at all cost.

[glinda]

31. 2 days ago our broom melted on the porch. Really. Now it is 35 degrees cooler.

[defendandprotect]

36. Your "broom melted" .... was this an all plastic broom or what? Wow!

[glinda]

37. It had solid vinyl bristles but thick ones. It was a good broom. Curled up three inches and

turned dark. We were at 102-103 degrees. It was also partially shaded part of the day. Amazing isn't it? Next will be the house siding.

[defendandprotect]

38. True ... never thought aboout house siding ... some kind of vinyl, usually ..... Wow!

Trust it's probably made to withstand a lot more than 103 thought -- Yikes!
