Baby - it's hot outside

Evo

I was looking at the forecast, you're always about 20% more humidity and 5 degrees hotter, not counting the humidity.

Dr Transport

They are predicting 10 days of 100+ temps in St Louis.....already smashed records two days in a row.

Evo

I *hate* hot weather, supposed to get storms here tonight, then temps going back up.

105 yesterday and 103 today in upstate South Carolina. Both are records. Fortunately I didn't have to go anywhere except to the street to pick up the mail. We get temperatures like this, but usually not until August. Forecast is 103 again tomorrow, 100 Monday, and "only" 97 on Tuesday.

Lost power from the Friday night D.C. storm and just got it back at 3:30 am this morning - 29 hours with no power. Then, I had to spend 4 1/2 hours trying to get my wireless router back online. Glad to have the power back.

Thermometer behind my window shows 39 deg C (100 deg F). It always shows a little bit more than it is, but even if it is 36 only it is still way too much for my linking.

Please send some of that, we're at 14C with rain.

Thunderstorm passed by, we were just barely touched by the northern wing, a little bit of gusts and perhaps five minutes of rain, temperature dropped to less than 30 deg C. MUCH BETTER, although the air is still humid and heavy.

Storms: Mid-Atlantic power outages could last days

The east coast experienced a series of derechos.

Just took Duke for a walk and I'm all sweaty. It's only 85+ under cloudy skies, but the humidity coming in on this southwesterly wind is heavy. I wouldn't be surprised to get a T-storm or two this afternoon. Can't complain though. Some people will be without power for days in 3-digit temps.

It's hot almost everywhere.

Thunderstorms all around, but so far not here.

That was one of the worst storms I've ever been in. I heard the wind pick up suddenly and quickly checked the weather. We got one quick look at the radar before the power went out. After that, it was 30 minutes of non-stop lightning and extremely heavy rain.

That describes the storm we had 9 days ago, i.e., a week ago from last Friday. It start off as heavy rain, then intense lightning, then high wind, then the power went out. Prior to the storms, the temperature was reaching 100-105F. The day after the storm, the temperatures dropped by 30 F. Last Monday, the early morning temperature was 48 degrees and reach a high in the mid 70s. Within days the temperature was back up to the 90s during the afternoon. The thermometer on the back of the house reached 99 in the shade during the last two days.

Not so bad today. Low 80s, with humidity that you can swim through. Duke and I took a walk so he could get his "business" done. I'm sweaty and he is sacked-out on his bed. We normally don't get into such patterns until late July/August, but here we are.

How many more of these stupid power outages do we have to endure with long periods of blackouts until power companies learn to bury the power lines?

Whenever they can get the earth to insulated enough to bury 345kV transmission lines.
