Okay, so i live in the Western Part of Washington State, where usually the max it hits a year is high 80's sometimes in the 90's and thats always hot as hell when it does that. But this last week has been HOT! It's 105*F here and I have to go to work and freaking cook behind a 360*F Grill. I don't know what the heck this is, but man, I want the rain back. Never thought i'd say that. Sorry, just a little rant.
 
I'm with ya man, its been high 90's-100+ for a couple weeks straight here and just horribly humid......and in 4 months it will be 0-10 every day lol, never nice.
 
We hit mid 80s here this week for the first time since April, when we had 88 for like two days, then it dropped back in the 70s. We have had bucket loads of rain though, something like 25days in June were rain, and all day rain, not just a shower. Todays high was 80 and cloudy and humid.
 
we had record rain fall here this year too, made my work start an extra month late. always a drought year but they actually turned a couple of the main resivoirs off in my area because of the rain.
 
I think here in pa I heard that we had a recored for low temps in the last two months. Has been hot for last two days tho but I hope it gets cold again I love the cold. Well not like 5 F or anything just not really hot.
 
It's been 100+ and 90% humidity here in Central Texas. Been that way since May... It should get better by November or so.....
 
NY is crap this summer. It's been raining and cloudy for like 3 months. It hit almost 90 up here yesterday and that may well be the nicest day we'll see until next summer....
 
I can't say I miss those New York summers....or winters, either.
Here in Tennessee, we have not had ONE day at 90 or above during July. That's extremely rare. Normally it's like a Bar BQ pit, but it's been beautiful so far.

So THERE!
 
I too am here in Western WA, Olympia to be exact, and this weather reminds me a lot of South Texas, just not quite as humid. It is 8:00 p.m. here and my house is still 93 degrees. I made a ghetto air conditioner out of my box fan by wrapping copper tubing around the back and pumping ice water through it, but the thing can only handle so much. I have actually been holding back on running my LST because its been so hot... They say by next Teusday it should be back down in the low 80's.

It's been cooler than norm here. Last 2 weeks was high 80's, bit of rain instead of dry high 90's all month.

BTW, I still run my truck some even when it's near 100*F. Just watch the temps,the air is still 150*+ cooler than the engine!
 
Not too bad in the hills here.

High tomorrow of 74. What ya think about hillbilly's now? Suffer ya little bitches. :D

Had a couple days around 90. Been cooler then most years. Little wetter than usual too.
 
Yeah, They say it made records today in Seattle. Just been crazy. Anyone in Arizona? Headin' to Las Vegas on Friday and expecting it to be hot as hell there.

AxailLST, If you ever want to go bash with someone else around you, I'm in the puyallup area.

Last day of work today until the 13th. =]
 
we had weeks with 100+ every day and 2 months + with no rain. we (southern texas) recently got a little rain and it cooled dawn some (98*) but mid texas is still dry and no rain with 100+ days. it barely gets to mid 80s at night to!
 
Finally!!!! A break!!! We had some rrain and the temps only got to 99*!!!! Tomorrow it'll be like a sauna......
