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.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
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. :)

It's after 2100 MST and it's still over 100 F outside.

It wasn't all that hot. It only got to 111F during the day. It just didn't cool down very fast last night. It's about 93F right now. We just don't get big swings between the highs and lows this time of the year.

It started out as a crap summer. But it has taken a turn for the better the past week. 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.
Sounds to me like you would prefer the southwest as opposed to the mountains of the North.

At least we don't have to worry about sharknados out here.
