I think our summer has finally arrived ..phew its hot for here ! :ukflag; Like most im not used to this heat ! How are other Brits coping ? I cant sleep at night despite a fan , im off my food and the heat has just floored me to the point of feeling exhausted (not being at my best to start with right now) Ive just been up stairs and nearly had to get there on my knees ! I can cope with the fluid side of things , its just the heat is knocking me out ! :boxing;

Weatherbug says 75 F in London (24 c.). Where are you? It's 90 (33 c) at the moment in Houston... Stay put.
-
Apparently it's going to be 10 degrees colder tomorrow so we'll be moaning it's cold- typical British summer then!!
I'm coping OK but it has knocked Dad for six,he's like a limp rag today.
This is what we all need :beer1;
-
90 in North Carolina today. So, after watering my flowers, I am now staying inside and staying cool. :2thumbsup;
-
where are you
we are over 90 here
and the thunder crawford heard must have been in his head
-
News said it got to 94 today. Glad I stayed inside :2thumbsup;
-
It's a lovely day here - 77 F and soft breeze. Nice change as we've had 10 days of "June Gloom" (or "May Gray" since it started in May) which is overcast and cool - I am happy to see the sun!
-
77 degrees
you are having a blizzard
or is it to cool down those fires
-
Spokane is 80 today and I love it. The lilacs and Iris are out and the wild roses!
:yahoo;
In 19 days the days start getting shorter! :banghead;
-
I envy you people who have four seasons. In Houston, we have 3 weeks of winter and 49 weeks of summer.

Same in San Antonio! Like a fool I bought a new winter coat last year. Never wore it. :waiting;
-
Hi Kellyt. I didn't realize you were in San Antonio. Hey neighbor....
-
84 today but I was working outside and was burning up.
-
Hi Kellyt. I didn't realize you were in San Antonio. Hey neighbor....
I said in an earlier post that some of my favorite people live in Texas :grouphug;
Kickstart, how are you doing with the heat and doing pd? Try to stay cool!
-
dw, I've been trying to get a Texas meeting together for a while! You gotta help me! :waving;
-
All of you people suffering from the heat should come visit Michigan! We can't get over 65 durring the day and tonight a low of 46. It feels like October around here.
-
Well, We live in New Mexico, (hey!, What are all these Americans doin' running around here?) In Albuquerque. It get's hot here during the deep summer. (It must not be deep summer yet because it's 10 am and the temp. is 65 degrees) In the afternoon 3pm - 6pm it can get up to 105 - 106, even more. BUT! at night it cools down quite substantially and the humidity is very low and a fan can cool you down. WE moved from Houston where the humidity was 90 percent all the time. A fan wouldn't do anything. So far this year, I haven't been uncomfortable yet.

Hurlock do you live in Albuqueruqe? I do too!
Yeah Kick it is not so nice here. My air is down too, the fan just isn't cutting it. I feel for you. :grouphug;
-
Send a little of that heat over to Southern California. I'm freezing out here!
-
90 in North Carolina today. So, after watering my flowers, I am now staying inside and staying cool. :2thumbsup;
No way! You're in North Carolina, too? We're a few hours from Charlotte.
:waving; to our neighbor, Paris!!
-
It is 84 today, but according to the meteo, it feels like 92!
Actually, it feels like 100!!!
-
Hey guys,Y'all need to come to Midland Texas, today it got up to 103, but it's a dry heat lol, so far this is not a good year for us it has only rained less than a inch so far. we should have had 7 inches by now.
-
Hurlock do you live in Albuqueruqe? I do too!
Yeah Kick it is not so nice here. My air is down too, the fan just isn't cutting it. I feel for you. :grouphug;
I go to Abq kidney center on Lomas between Eubank and Juan Tabo. First shift. 6:00 am.

I envy you people who have four seasons. In Houston, we have 3 weeks of winter and 49 weeks of summer.
It is usually the opposite here 49 weeks of winter and 3 weeks of summer!!! What else can you expect when you live on an island in the north atlantic!!! It was over 20 celcuis here today but back down to about 5 tonight with a risk of frost.
-
Weatherbug says 75 F in London (24 c.). Where are you? It's 90 (33 c) at the moment in Houston... Stay put.
I'm from Houston. The temp and Humidity is why we left. I'm 60 and in the early 50s there wasn't A/C at our house. But we got A/C in about '55. I don't know how we survived it. Before we left in 2002 our electricity bill during the summer was $245+. The temp here now is 86 deg. It's 7:15 pm. But the humidity is 15%. Earlier we had the cooler on, but it got too cold, had to turn it off. The people here think it's hot but compared to Houston, It aint.
-
Well thankfully its finally starting to cool down here in hawaii tonight..
but its been in the high 80's into the low 90's - its been unbearable! the worst thing is that we had a freakishly cold winter/wet season it was like we were on the mainland or something! Now our summer is SO hot! this heat needs to go back where it belongs CA :P
Although since we have a family member who is a firefighter and fights the wild fires that hit CA in the summers, i guess it might help out that CA isn't as ridiculously hot as normal! :)

Well we have had a few more hottish days (us Brits are just not used to it !) It was glorious on friday so i decided to venture out , big mistake , the heat was too much for me , i struggled to get from my car to my front door! So now im staying in while its so hot , i got the fans blowing and the windows open . I hate to say this but i love winter now!!
-
we were in the pool for hours yesterday -
the only way to stay cool -
our electric bill will be between 200.00 and 300.00 and more during July and August
-
I envy you people who have four seasons. In Houston, we have 3 weeks of winter and 49 weeks of summer.
Lucky you, in the UK with the possible exception of this summer we get exactly the reverse of that!
-
It will be about 87 here today in Florida, but will feel like 100!!!, my husband was coping with the heat better when he was anemic, now we keep the central air on, and the blinds closed to keep out the sun.
-
heat records here
heat index over 115
hot hot hot
-
It was suppose to go down to 98 today... What happened?
-

I hear you, Tee. This time last year my husband was wearing a jacket in this kind of weather.
:rofl; :rofl;
-
It was 84 here today. My tomatoes are happy to finally get some heat.
-
Well for the past 3 days we've had a combination of sun,rain and thunder here ! Its very humid , no breeze today, but no sun. It thundered about an hour ago but no rain and .. i havent slept for ages now!
-
I never expected such heat this early in the year. I wish I had planted tomatoes. Usually I do but this time I had an unexpect routine addition to my schedule (the evil chair).
Last week my line tree withered away and this morning I see my little Laurel tree has dried up. (Wonder if I can pic the leaves off and use them like that ? After all you buy dried bay leaves in the store.
-
That's sad about your plants, Dan. I'm having to water more frequently with this unusual heat.
Now it's the water bill to worry about, huh?

-
Water is cheap here ... usually. Its just that ssince starting in the torture chamber the heat just knows me out... literally. This too shall pass, right?
-
our pool is like a hot tub
almost to hot to swim in
our grass looks like hay
our flowers are withered :waiting;
-
My pool is 93. I just checked it. There are afternoon thunderstorms all around us, but none here. We need it. I know you do, too.
Steamy.
-
High of 96 degrees in North Alabama today. The heat index was like 107. I'm melting......
-
You guys keep the heat. It was 74 here today and cloudy. :bow;
-
92 F outside right now - high of 97. The AC's not working so well, and can't keep it below 80 in here. Thank goodness for residual kidney function and cold drinks.
Still better than the 101 it was when I was in Vegas yesterday.
-
It's a tad warm here in Southern Ca. We have to keep the blinds closed to keep the heat out and the AC runs a whole lot. Feel like I am confined to a cave. There goes my summer afternoons with a good book, sitting on the porch. The pool looks gorgeous, but it is completely in the sun, and I need to stay out of the sun. Sigh.
-
its looking a little questionalbe this morning, Houstonians, but I don't really have time to put the snow chains in the car before I leave.
-
Phew its hot here today! but we dont have the luxury of air-con over here as its usually raining or cold! I cant sleep and dont want to eat when its like this , i could murder an ice cold lager shandy right now .........off to suck an ice cube! :stressed;
-
Please, please send some of that heat our way! Cold and wet today like it's been all of June here in New England - we set a record for smallest amount of sunlight this month.
-
105 degrees at 1 pm today >:D
-
I think it was 91 today. whew!
Is there no AC in England??
-
Today prediction is down to 98..... then 95 for tomorrow. It is going to be great... Cooling at last (and with 30% rain chanses). Lets Dance. :bandance;
-
We have had some very hot days recently. It is all due to the Sahara dust problem. The global situation is really changing. When I was under 20, there was never anything about Sahara dust reaching over the Atlantic to the Caribbean. Now it comes - cars get dirty, the horizon is hazy, asthmatics have a hard time, and the heat is raised. My brother used to say that it has particles of camel sh*t in it!
They predict that it will go away soon and the days will be a bit cooler. The hills and the sky don't have that haze today.
-
Another horrible day here , very humid , no breeze , but no sunshine either ! Its just to hot! I havent slept for days now , feel like a zombie, no energy to do anything this weather is sooooo draining ! Its given for thunder storms later but im not so sure we are going to get them , at least it would freshen everything up. I love to stand out in the rain when its like this !!!! :urcrazy;
-
Lovely rain yesterday afternoon but back up toi 100 today. Those weather casters need a new ouija board.
-
No A/C in the Uk, except in some shops and offices. Usually there's no need for it as it's so blimmin' cold!
I feel for you Kickstart, the weather is draining me of all energy too, and I've got absolutely no appetite for anything except ice lollies!

Cool weather in Wisconsin the last few days after a heatwave I must have brought with me.
-
we have not gotten any rain
what, I take that back
a drop fell on me yesterday
-
I've had three big rains... still not enough. Be careful when you shoot your fire crackers.
