We're having some true August days here. Hot in the day but cooling off nicely at night. This weekend I'm taking the AC out of the window, a fan will suffice to cool it down at night.

Local weather just forecasted temps up to 100 degrees and heat index up to 120 degrees today. Lets see how high we can get....

It's been beautiful here in East Central Illinois for the past 2 weeks. Highs around 80, lows in the high 50s or low 60s. Can't ask for much better.

We’ve had the same temperatures here in Santa Fe county, NM with afternoon/evening thunderstorms weekly. We have been getting 1-2” of rain each week for the past month.

Here in East Texas, the count down is on for when it will end. Usually it's right around mid September, and then all of a sudden, the weather becomes really nice again. Until then, it's just a struggle to do anything after 3pm. Breathing can be a challenge, but just walking short distances can be overwhelming.

This is true. It's almost like it changes in a single day. Suddenly the sunlight and winds are different. I always love the fall.

For us the first indication that fall is coming is right around the first of August. There's just something different in the air that you can't put your finger on but you can feel it. Doesn't necessarily mean hot weather (or this year rain & humidity) is over, but it's getting there.
Fall's my favorite season too.

So Cal has been too hot, too dry, for too long. Averaging 100º every day for 2-3 months. I am always at this time of year ~ over it.

For us up north we had very nice summer, a few heat waves and fair amount of rain, we are at our third or forth heat waves although the first one was pretty short and welcomed, I don't think we got a day above 104F yet but we came close a few times, we had many days at 100/102F but our humidity is more often then not up there at 50 to 75% so it's very heavy, I remember hitting 80% in July with a modest temperture of 91F... They say that temperture and humidity combo ''feels like 108F '' regardless if true or not at that humidity index you will get fooled if you only go by the mercury level.
