Going to be perfect here today, it is sunny, 50 degrees with a high predicted of 68, a good day for the garden.

Right now it is cloudy and 62F. They are calling for a high of 88F. I don't want to play one-upsmanship with Linda anymore.

Can't say I blame you Kelli.

tarev said:Linda, does the duration of that extreme heat when it comes during the day goes from lunch time forward?? When we get our hot temps the hottest time is around 4pm to 6 pm but as it builds up, ugh...just terrible!

We are expecting a cool down, well, it will be cool for us, high of 93 to 95 vs. 95 and higher..any relief from the extreme heat is always welcome here

Yes, that is what happens here as well.

Kelli! They have raised our temps for Thursday and Friday now to 109 F.

Looking forward to that air-conditioning at church this morning!

It was 80 degrees here on the beach when I got up at 7:30. Hurried to get breakfast and out to the front garden (on the south side). It looks awful! We had friends down here for 5 weeks in the house in back of us. Got absolutely nothing done, so now .... have to work in the sun and hate it! I did 1/4 of the bed but the heat was intense even with my Vietnamese hat on so I'll wait until there is some shade and will continue. It's supposed to be 93 here today. In a normal year, we seldom get about 85. Toasty, I tell you!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Linda!

Topped out at only 101F yesterday. So far it is just 98 with 13% humidity. Did I just use the words 'only' and 'just' ??? I am losing it.

Rose season here!

We topped out @ 97 today with 38% humidity when it hit 97. A duplicate predicted for tomorrow.

The gulf may have a tropical storm brewing Ann. Keep safe.

Much nicer today, right now at 91F and there is some delta breeze, helps in keeping the cool down. Our 100F will return next Saturday

Cindy, this is the time of year when a tropical storm doesn't sound bad. They can bring rain and cooler temperatures and wind, but they usually are just big rain storms. When they top 73 mph and have circulation, then you worry if they are headed in your direction. Otherwise, bring it on! I've lived here quite a while and can't afford to increase my blood pressure for no reason.

I just looked at the data on that low pressure system in the gulf. Looks like it going to go north into TX. Too bad. They don't need the rain and at least where I am, we do.

Thanks for the concern Cindy. Arlene stated it pretty well though, we NEED the rain & Texas has already had too much. Frankly I think the track of that system is probably responsible for this awful heat wave we're having as well as the lack of rain.

Temp was still 99F at 8:00 tonight. That is not nice.

Uh-oh..definitely not nice Linda.

We are at 77F right now. I may get to open the windows later.

Sounds much better there, Tarev.
