Summer weather love, hate, in-difference thread

Oh, Johali, don't torture me with tales of rain. I was at my cousin's place for the 4th --- about 30 miles south of my home. It poured down there -- even had small hail.
We had nothing here --- not even a cloud. *sigh*
 
My mother lives 30 miles west of me and has only had one little shower in the past ten days but it's rained here and to the east a lot every day for the same ten day period. Talking weather heads say its because of where the upper doololly is dropping down into the lower thingy doodle and sucking moisture over us with a distinct dividing line just west of me, I hope that was scientific enough. :D
 
You Texans are all alike, water water we need more water, sheesh.;)

Buy a convertible ;)
 
I don't know how some of you people handle that heat...it's only 87 here and stopped being anywheres near comfortable 10 degrees ago:(
 
78º dew point, just plain old nasty. And: sun-clouds-rain-repeat every ten minutes. I'm getting dizzy.

I was just in Parker, AZ(Colorado River) over the weekend.. It was 110-125 degrees all weekend, 100 at night, and a monsoon-style humid 115* on Sunday. It was awesome as long as you were in a boat or swimming. In town, on pavement though.. Intense. I'm welcoming the 75* here in north San Diego County..

Where abouts in North County? I'm often up in Valley Center now that my cousin moved from Escondido
 
Pretty much, right off Mission avenue and the 5 actually.. Where are you at?
 
I am definitely not enjoying the current stretch of 90+ temps every day with a slight chance of cooling all the way down into the upper 80's by the end of the week. Now, if doctors could develop a way to install gills on humans, this humidity may be a little more tolerable.
 
91º 67% humidty, dew point of 79º. Fells like 106º. Looks the same for the whole week. I love hot wather, but dayum.
 
It has been in the low 80''s for a week, plenty of rain all summer and the long range says it will stay that way thru the weekend. Crazy, usually in the mid to high 90's. Last year it was 110 and one of the hottest/driest areas in the U.S. all month. I guess I can complain about the humidity, 95% this morning, down to 53% now though.
 
This is nuts. August forgot that it's supposed be hot. Instead, it thinks it's October.
 
It's just a tad milder than usual for this time of year here but anybody that feels cheated out of a full summer as TRL says, come on down, today we had a high of 92 degrees and 97% humidity.

Not in North Texas. :eek: Some severe pop up thunderstorms (with warnings) came through on Tuesday, and it's been cloudy here since then. Our temperature right now (hottest part of the day) is only in the upper 80s. Normally we're in the triple digits this time of day.

EDIT: A few days before the storm, the forecast was for partly cloudy skies. That was the most wrong I've seen a forecast in a long time.
 
Here in the land of the cheese it's currently 65... high to day was 71. It's down in the fifties for the over nights this week. Fall is in the air!

We lost power tuesday and wednesday nights. Had a well formed wall cloud pass over southern mansfield wednesday night. We ate dinner at 6:30 and I saw it developing on the wind velocity graph literally above my GPS drop-pin, and when it hit the johnson/tarrant line, it was a full blown wall cloud ready to drop a funnel. I'll have WA5FWC send me the picture, it was nasty looking.

We had white-out conditions. Rain was blowing dead sideways.

Hush up, both of you. Around here, not even enough rain to float the cork in the rain gauge. I will say that this morning is nice.

TRL I wish we could send you some of this Carolina rain, It's amazing how for the past 3 or 4 summers we were hot and dry and now we are seeing not only cooler weather but record rainfall. Sure has been hard to keep up with the mowing chores this year, but I will take it over the heat and drought.
 
This minute at 8:50 AM central time it's 86 degrees and 100% humidity which is a lot nicer than usual for this time of year but thank the heavens for all of the rain, after the last two years we really needed it.
 
Felt like fall here this morning. 56 deg. I usually like heading for the mountains this time of year, but it feels like the mountains here today.

Didn't realize there were storms like that here in North Texas on Wednesday. Otherwise I would've tracked them on computer.
 
I hate the humidity, this year has been brutal in the Northeast for tropical type weather, although the last 12 days or so have been much better. Love the nice bright mid 80s with low humidity and cool nights.
 
93 degrees 98 % humidity today. Cooler than usual for August but still freakin terrible.

First day of class.

Get up at 6:15, get out of shower at 6:45, leave house at 7:20, Feel like I need another shower by 9:30 class time (after wandering campus finding my classes).
 
Cloudy, rainy, high 80s the humidity in the high 90s, gotta keep then anti mold spray handy.
 
Been like a vacation here, plenty of rainfall and only 8 days above 100 so far. 2012 we had 38 days above 100 and 2011 it was worse at 44 over 100 with 23 in a row over 100. Average is 11.5 days a year. The drought is finally broken. Thought we were going back to the dust bowl.

Not here in East Texas. No measurable rain since July 19th. Trees that made it through 2011 are now giving up. It's also still summer --- mid to upper 90s for the foreseeable future and no rain.

yeah, I spoke too soon. Hasn't rained here in almost a month and it is dry, should be cooling off but it hasn't. I know what you mean about the trees, I lost quite a few last year, and it isn't looking good. I quit brush hogging last month and where I cut dried up and died. I found out what killed the trees. There is a bug that bores into the trees in late summer and lays eggs every year. Trees can handle it when they are healthy. You can tell if the bugs killed them, the trees will start dying from the top down. Instead of the other way around
