Yea, it's up in the 90's here to the next few days, and on top of that I'm not feeling to well either because  :icon_smile_angry: some gas/oil well workers yesterday decided to spray the dame road down out front again with oil/gas water from the pumps. Now I'm suffering a dang headache, sure left and aching left eye from it  :icon_smile_angry:

I like how these East Coast wussies are whining about this "heat wave" they got going on. 104 for a week. Boo hoo. Mention that to any member from AZ, Nevada (the skips), or some parts of California and we'll laugh at you.

Just like clock work.  It seems every year right after the 4th Mother Nature turns off the water spicket in the sky.  Hottest day of the year today.  It should prime me for Carlisle & the heat they're dealing with.

There are a lot of whiners. But, I'll tell you this.

I've had more than a few friends from out west come here and the heat is fine but the humidity leaves them whining little bitches.

We've got dew points in the high 60s and low 70s.

Coldest Winter I ever spent, was the Summer I spent in San Francisco.  :2thumbs:
If I could afford it, I'd live there, no problem, or New York...toss up.

PS I wore a sweater and thick corduroy pants to work today(90+ but I work inside).  Everyone was freaking out but most of the women still said how "hot" I looked,  I just said thanks.  :lol:

Winter here at the moment, but where I am it averages 45-48degrees (113 to 118) all summer

Today is the first blue sky I've seen in at least three weeks. Decades-old rainfall records are being shattered all over the Portland area, and I'm sick of it.

Now I guess we're supposed to start whining about the heat. :icon_smile_blackeye: It was real close to 100 today in Portland but I didn't cry about it after the spring we had to endure.

 it's funny how the weatherman keeps saying week after week "it's gonna warm up for the weekend", but it hasn't topped 70 but a couple days all yr.
 I know we have these "Micro-climates" here, where you can drive for 10-15 minutes and the Temp. can go up or down from 10 to 20 degrees... but, there's these low pressure areas are funneling all this fog and marine layer moisture straight through the bay week after week, after week... and most places in Calif have 200% + of rainfall,.. I saw a report that said the weather patterns have shifted south from Alaska so we are getting far more cool weather then in years past,..
I don't know for sure, but i can say I have seen some odd weather in my 50+ years in San Francisco,.. This summer is like the kinds of summers we had in the '60s - as in 1960s... then, it warmed up over the last 40 years,.. a few years back we had a few days of 100+ nearly every Yr. now like I said above, we've barely topped 70...  :shruggy:
in the recent decades - by now in July, we would've had at least a few 80 degree days every month since May...
So here in the inner city "The Bayview" where we're known for having the BEST weather in San Francisco, Temps are on average ten degrees below normal since last Oct. Consistently. It's foggy outside right now in fact..
a couple years ago we had a very early (and warm) weather cycle that started all the plants to blooming about three Mos. early,..
which was why I started the "How's The Weather" thread...

Talk about weird weather.... Last two days we have had these poofy white things in the sky which is making our 107' weather a bit sticky! Still better than back east though! Lol!.       Mrs.skip68

As someone else said, it's not the temps that kill you, it's the humidity.. You stand in one place for 10 seconds you are DRIPPING.

So, without sounding like I'm "wining", yeah, the humidity has been incredible.. But, once Fall/Winter hits I'll be praying for it, so for now, I'm taking advantage of the temps and spending every minute I can out there enjoying my days...

Remember.... It's around the corner.......

We are supposed to be at 114' by thursday maybe even hotter as the weatherman said. Chuck and I are taking advantage of the cooler weather today, (106') to drop some dead pines on our property.

Hands down you win! Was going to grumble about it still being 89 degrees in the backyard and it's past 7pm. However you get the sweaty prize! Put your cooling vest on and keep breathing...get home...get in a pool somewhere and unwind.
