What Is Your Weather Like?

[Bookworm]

Right now, its almost noon and we have a temp of only 57 degrees. We actually came in the house because it started to pour on us (second week in a row) and is cold. One of my little ones actually went over and put on their sweatshirt because its chilly in our house but I refuse to turn the thermostate on in July!!!!

I sooooooooooooooo wish summer would get here! Send sun-PLEASE!


I think our kids should go to school till the end of July and be out August and September when we actually have some nice weather!

OMG! I'm so jealous right now. It's still in the 90's and it's 8 pm. I swear the devil is on vacation here this week. But according to the Weather Channel, he should be going home by Sunday.

HOTTER THAN HOT!!! High nineties to 100 degrees and humid! Can't breathe outside! It has been hot for about a month now. We have been getting lots of thunderstorms as well.

I really, really just want a summer for my kids!!! I want , lots of it!

Last week we had and it was sooooo nice! Great warm/hot temps for us. Yesterday/today we wake up to overcast grey skies with a call for rain-

In Washington state I guess a AMTRACK train can't get through due to a landslide on the rail line that was caused from them having so much rain!

I just want summer, please-

It's currently 73º and partly cloudy. In Texas. In July. We are usually so hot by mid-July that we don't see 73º for the low. They predict 92º for the high, but it didn't make it there yesterday, and I don't expect that today.

We are getting a lot of rain. It looks like it could rain any minute, but the radar doesn't show anything yet. It's been raining every afternoon-just enough to keep things muddy and the mosquitos and fire ants healthy.

Our lawn too, doesn't matter how much we water it, it looks like somebody dumped a pan of crispy hash browns all over our lawn.

HA! SAME HERE! We don't water so our lawn has no chance but I am glad to see other people are having the same issue.

Today it is going to be 95 with a heat index over 105. YUCK!

[Nickel]

I'm also in texas! Currently 75 and only a high of 94 today! Woohoo. I can actually go outside and not fry before getting in my car! Love it! Think this is the coolest it's been since May!

[My Lil' Monkeys]

Here in SW Michigan it's 95 w/o the index and 102 with the index. Humid and hot.

Do you take your kids outside when it's this warm?

In Pa, we are having another heat wave, but it will be only today and tomorrow. The temps will be in the 90's with a heat index of at least 100. There is a heat advisory until tomorrow 7pm.

We've been such hot weather this month. Normally, we don't get this hot weather until late july-august and it doesn't last more than 2 weeks total (we would have a heat wave for a couple days, then cool off for a couple , then another heat wave, etc) It's be so hot that we can't even be outside. We did get a thunderstorm last night that gave us an 1 of rain (according to my raingauge) which we needed. We haven't mowed out lawn since july 4 and for awhile we were doing it twice a week..

[Country Kids]

We don't get heat indexes here but in the winter we get wind chill factors. I wonder why they don't give us heat ones?

Everyone is usually outside in all temps here though when its hot! I think we all do it because we get so little summer/warm weather.

[melissa ann]

We get wind chill factors in the winter too. Sometimes, I wish they would just tell us the temp of what it feels like. Maybe then the dcp would dress their kids better. Like in the winter. the temp may be in the upper 20's (not so bad) but the wind chill in the single digits. Although, with some people. that wouldn't make a difference anyway.

[melskids]

only 57?? What state are you in? Here in upstate NY it is about 83 and feels hot and humid....I know it is HOT in the southern states, I feel aweful for those still without power on the East coast in the middle of a heat wave!

It's 83 here too...must be all of upstate NY....

[daycarediva]

83 in central NY Tomorrow's high is supposed to be 99*. BLAH! I don't know how you all do it when it's sooooo hot down south. I have two kids I have to bribe/push to drink ANYTHING and it makes me so nervous that they will dehydrate!

[Blackcat31]

98.7F here! It has been hot hot hot!

I don't mind the heat (of course I have AC at the daycare and at home) but I don't complain much because where I live we actually get 3 FULL months of each season equally so no sense complaining about heat when in about 6 months we will have temps in the double digits below zero (NOT counting wind chill) so....like my grandmother always said....

"Never complain, for tomorrow will bring a whole new set of issues so just embrace and find the positives!"
