Been hot here, just shy of 100° F (38° C) and humid too thanks to tropical moisture coming up from Mexico. Looks like we're getting a break today, though; at 9:56 AM PDT, it's not even 80° (27° C) F yet.

Well if you like blazing hot summers you moved in the wrong direction. You should have at the very least stayed in NYC. Of better yet moved south / southwest. As for me I prefer lame summers. As a matter of fact I hope the rest of this summer gets even lamer. I can deal without the blazing heat and extreme humidity. I can also deal without the air conditioners having to run constantly 24/7 day and night and the huge consumption of electricity and very high electric bills that go along with it. Nothing pleases me more than to hear the air conditioner shut down and be able to remain shut down for hours, knowing the electric meter downstairs is not gobbling up kilowatt hours. If this is the effect of an el-nino summer then i say bring us an el nino every summer. :)Quote:

That's impressive. We were 49 a few nights ago and are about 55 usually going up to the mid 70s. It IS hot in the sun, it feels much hotter than it should be for the mid-70s when the sun hits you. But that's why this is turning out to be a crap summer.Quote:

Again, if you like long blazing hot (or hot humid) summers then why in tarnation did you move north to the Catskill mountains, a place known where people go to retreat from the heat ? My brother doesn't even live that far up (only about 45-50 minutes from here) and it's generally much cooler than it is here. Specially in August, even on hot days the nights up where he is always cool down a lot more than down near NYC where I am.Quote:

Ah, just a cool, comfortable 111 deg F... :)Quote:
