What's the temperature where you are???

[Pollo Blanco]

I don't know how you folks do it. (I've gotten soft living in the mountains so many years.)

In the PNW we wear Goretex jackets nine months out of the year!

81°F We aren't used to this temp at this altitude, feels like a blast furnace. 1:16 pm.

How hot is the average there? We'll get up into the 90's with the stray triple digit day or two. But it usually cools off so much at night it keeps it bearable.

That sounds pretty good about now.

People who live around here always ask, "How do people in Arizona live with their climate?"
I always reply, "Simple, they stay indoors for three months, and live the other nine outdoors!"

94° In the shade and it feels like 110°.. 61% humidity south breeze at 8 mph.. I had 2 litters of rabbit kits kindled last night. So they’ll be toasty warm...

I've been following this thread for 3 or 4 years now, and I have never seen so many 100°+ temperatures. I don't know about the rest of y'all, but here in Colorado we haven't reached the hot part of summer yet. I don't know how you folks do it. (I've gotten soft living in the mountains so many years.)

This is the norm for us in N. Texas. I remember back in 1980 and 2011 when we had around 70 days of 100+ temps. June, July, August, and September are always 90+ to 105. -lived here my whole life, and I still dread summer.

-out to ice the waterers. 101 with real feel of 121.

At 7,000 ft we used to be a misty mountain get away. Never got much higher than mid to upper 70s. Rained every day from the heat of the desert, started in early June, our monsoon season and didn't quit until October. Now we frequently get into the 80s even low 90s. Between the drought and forest fires, much of our forests are gone. Rains don't start until July and some years not until August. Sorry I could go on and on about how hot and dry we are, its definitely devastated our territory, lush forests are gone, wildlife has diminished, pretty sad. They say by 2045 we won't have any trees left up here.

But yes i agree with you 110%, the temps are rising and the climate is changing. Hopefully you aren't seeing too much drought up there.

I remember as a pre teen traveling with parents to N FL and S GA to visit people that I didn't know and all I wanted to do was go home out of the heat. Early 50's. AC was only in commercial builds and hospitals back then. Land was cheap in FL until AC started to be installed in residential homes. I do remember in the 60's the summer death reports of people living in places with no AC in the big cities like NY, Detroit, Chicago, etc. One summer in the early 80's we lived in NW MO and we had a month of highs everyday of 100 or above. Then come January-early February we had a month of highs not above 0. The weather will change. What was once a forested land is now concrete jungles and asphalt highways that don't help us stay cool or warm maybe. Today is one of those days here in Lower AL that reminds me of the 50's as a kid. 2 more hours and this old bag of bones will wander out and make sure all is well in the world of feathers. I found that today's weather was more suited to computer type work like I did a few months ago when we had a low of 15° for 3 nights in a row. As long as I can remember the weather was always the topic of discussion when the old folks gathered and it bored me to death 65-70 years ago.

Yes. I, too, remember being bored listening to the weather tales of the "old folks". Now, I do the same thing . (and I've come to treasure all the memories of listening to those folks, even if it was about mundane things)

I'm in Maryland, along the coast. "Officially," we're at 81° F and "partly sunny," but that's a very deceptive description. In reality, the sky is mostly blue with bright, white, fluffy clouds ... punctuated by patches of dark gray, very vocal thunderheads. The humidity is of the "wet-rag-in-the-face" caliber; "muggy" doesn't even come close! THIS Crazy Chicken Lady is staying INSIDE today!
