HOT

[Dave]

It was 104 out on the deck. Looks like it says 102 now. This is not fit for man nor beast. It is 79 on the back porch/laundry room. That is the opposite end of the house from the AC. The AC is in the living room right behind my recliner. The only safe place to be. Back in the 70's and 80's when I was working for a living (falling timber). I would go work in Alaska in the summer to avoid the summer heat. Give me temperatures in the single digits any day over this heat.

90s are awful for us, but we will have 90+ humidity.

 

[Dave]

The humidity here is about 15% today. But it is still too dang hot. The one time I was on the east coast it was in August. I thought the humidity was bad. All the locals said it wasn't bad that week. No thanks.

Temp was 62 today, forecast says low/mid 40s tonight. 10 day forecast is barely into the 70s everyday. Un-seasonably cool for us.

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

Same with our winters. High humidity make it a LOT colder.

Welcome to Oklahoma @Dave !

We've had enough rain the humidity is thick enough to cut with a knife too here lately.
I done tracked up a few spots cutting hay today. Was mighty thankful for the air conditioning in the swather

We were 104 today, I think 50% humidity-it’s so dry right now though that we’re starting to see the gates to hell cracking open. Praying for rain.

I pulled a calf this morning when it was 94. I'm glad I got it done before it got hot. Ha.

Between embryonic fluid and a soaked through shirt, I smelled kind of ripe at lunch. The wife didn't mind much, she was helping out and had wiped her hands on my pants.

Here in Central part of the Lone Star state, it's starting to get a little warm even for this rare & age endangered species known as a Native born and raised Texan.



I almost bought a roll around evaporative cooler for the back patio yesterday.................... almost.

I'm always leery of what may someday come crawlin out of those things, by the tens of thousands and I'm not talkin about ants....

 

[1982vett]

Yeah…it’s getting to be not funny anymore. November isn’t even close yet.

What? About 5 weeks since the last rain and under 100 degree day.

Dave, what’s the nighttime lows?

 

[chevytaHOE5674]

46 degrees last night and 59 today. Strong north wind off the big lake. Furnace has been running in the house...

Dave, I grew up in Indiana and now work in Ohio/Live in West Virginia. I did my Master's Thesis in Rangeland Resources at Oregon SU and did my field research on Catherine Creek Outside of LaGrande. 104 is hot. But, I'll take that any day over a day with temps above 'only' 90 with 95% plus humidity. I've experienced both, and more than just a day or 2 of 'vacationing' in either type of weather.

Hey, send that weather my way!

 

[chevytaHOE5674]

I'd gladly take some of your guys heat. It's been so cool and wet UP here that I can't even get hay dry enough for baleage.

Knife indicates the humidity is solid. A ladle might be more useful or appropriate?

Yep if it doesn’t rain here in the next two weeks it’s going to be over.

We are 8 degrees tonight which is about 46. We need some heat units. Smoke is not helping daytime temps either.

I just got in from outside. I was adding another heat lamp to the baby hen coop. Babies are about 3 weeks old but huddling up to stay warm. I told kids to grab a sweater and extra blanket. They said they were tempted to fire up the wood stove. Mid July…
