How's Your Summer Going?

[Miss Golightly]

The weather has been pretty poor here so far and we were promised a heatwave at the weekend that never materialised - I went out last night and it was drizzling rain the whole evening! At least I only had to wear a cardigan - it was kind of muggy. Maybe September will be nice.....

 

[Mr Vim]

It seems you and I are sharing weather patterns Miss.

 

[Miss Golightly]

It seems you and I are sharing weather patterns Miss.

At least you got three weeks of nice weather! I think the only time *fingers crossed* that I will experience good weather for straight weeks are when I head to the south of France in September (although I'm sure when we're away the weather here in Dublin will be beautiful - typical!!!!!).

 

[sheeplady]

We've had record heat. I am behind on the work that I wanted to get completed this summer.

But I am taking a great cake decorating class!

 

[AtomicEraTom]

The heat did manage to cook my rear-view mirror off lol

It's official, at least according to the meteorologist at the Washington Post. July was the hottest month in recorded Washington DC history. This followed a June that was the hottest June since they started keeping track.

 

[jamespowers]

You can have my global warming! We had out hottest June on record, followed by what will probably be our hottest July on record. We had a heat wave last week, then 2 days that felt darn near chilly at 95F, then another heat wave this week. We average 33 days of 90F or greater, and we hit that on Friday, with still August and September to go. In addition to the heat. I sprained my ankle a couple weeks ago and was in a car accident, hit by a guy who thought he could beat me through an intersection. I had the green light, BTW. Summer can end now, please.

Send it. I'll take that over cold and windy.
I am not quite sure your records there are that spotty as the 1980s back there were well into the record book---especially the middle of last month. Your coldest years were in the 1890s.

What do you mean? And what does when the coldest month occurred have to do with this conversation?

Tom, we had a rash of that years ago when I was at another agency.
Dodge Shadow and Dodge Diplomat rear views came off like crazy that summer...
A cardigan Miss Golightly? Rubbing it in for us Southerners.
Watering roses and a banana tree in the morning and afternoon.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Lost mine on both wagons, and my sister lost hers on her Jimmy. Lots of super glue use here!

18 days in July were in triple digits. Today was 107 with a heat index of 114. I spend my days in my ac house. At least I do not have to mow the lawn (have not mowed in 3 weeks). Plants are dormant around here.

 

[lolly_loisides]

It's a lovely 25c/77f today, but this is the southern hemisphere & it's the middle of winter. People are walking around in short sleeves & shorts. Crazy, nice but crazy.

That happened on a car or two of mine. You might try what I did, if the seat height allows visibility. Mount the mirror to the dashboard instead. It takes some getting used to, but it's a popular style in many sports cars, and you can use screws!

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I thought of doing that, I'd feel like I was driving a late 50's MoPar, though lol

Here in Midcoast Maine, HUMID!! And I'm not a fan of humidity. July we had near triple digits with humidity that would make any Texan complain. Even being on the coast, still wicked hot. I had talked to a neighbor who is a lobsterman, says being being out on the water 25 miles from shore is no cooler. And pulling traps up and having the sun bounce off the water's surface makes it worse.

I just the AC recharged in my truck, so we've been finding excuses to go for rides!!

 

[Chas]

Well, it's clouded over and cool on the Pacific NW coast....again. Craptacular, all around.

 

[Stray Cat]

Since I just returned from one month on the Black Sea; I'd say my summer HERE is just starting.
So far so good.
Temperature is high, but tomorrow it'll drop so low, I'd most probably have to put on a sweater.

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

Still waiting for summer! It's August and last night I had to sleep under three blankets.

 

[Stray Cat]

under three blankets.

Well, I'll have that in about two days. The cold wave is coming.. (Oh, beware.. the cold wave is coming.. mwahahaa)

The same up here. We've had March weather in August.:eusa_doh: It is cold and windy in the evenings. The weather stinks and is ten degrees below our typical weather here. PU. :eusa_doh:
