So, is anyone out there enjoying some cool fall weather yet? Vegas sure the hell isn't!

[Systematic Chaos]

I'm looking at the extended forecast on WeatherBug, and there is not a day under 95 degrees in the forecast through to the 5th of October.

Back in August, we had one day where some monsoonal thunderstorms came through and cooled it down to 70 degrees in the afternoon. One day since last April where we could keep the windows open and let a breeze flow through the house. Yes, I know it's Vegas, but goddammit it's almost October!

I'm completely fed up with it. Want to move, have no money to move. Triple digits forecast for Sunday. Give me a break!

So I guess this will be one of those years where we go from over 90 degrees down to the 60s and 70s of autumn in a period of 2-3 days. All we need is one actual, honest cold front! Maybe the week of friggin' Halloween?

1. We aren't that warm but it's muggy and I'm sick of it...

we had a little break with upper 50s first thing in the morning and then 80s during the day. Now, we're expectig rain so it's humid and nasty.

I just run the air as much as I can and look forward to January!

[Systematic Chaos]

2. I understand. Humidity just slays me.

They say a dew point of 50 is when the most sensitive people start to feel discomfort.

I'm one of those people, no doubt about it!

3. it's been gorgeous here in n. colorado

70s and rain in the evening, i'm loving it. wish i could send some of it your way.

[Throd]

4. Nope. It is supposed to be 100+ tomorrow and Monday in Sacramento.

[Systematic Chaos]

5. Yowza...I had no idea.

I know Sacramento and the like can be hot too, but I would never have guessed you'd be that hot this late in the year.

I hope for your sake that it goes away before ours does. At least most of this shit we've had has been really dry with humidity well under 30%.

6. 64F here today and cooler tonight. I'm loving it.

How are YOU doing K?

14. I'll post in WL/M soon.

It's a pretty long story, and I'm sure the cave fucks can't wait to discuss it.

7. In central NH the foliage is gorgeous

Standard temps, 60's daytime, low 40's at night.

[susanr516]

8. Nope, fall doesn't get here until October

Although the highs are now in the low 90s, rather than high 90s.

to move. This place is only habitable to black widows and scorpions! No fall here, just a bleeding monsoon and lots of high winds.

10. Two words...

Swamp cooler. I live in Vegas and have three for the house...so cool at night I need blankets.

[Systematic Chaos]

12. We're blessed with decrepit and hugely expensive AC units.

Our apartment complex is near UNLV and probably a good 40 years old, and I don't think they've ever replaced the air conditioners. So, if you want your apartment even close to 80 degrees on summer days, you can expect your June-August electric bills to be at least triple your November-February ones. And I'm not exaggerating.

That's one of the reasons why we can't afford to move. It's like a Roach Hotel for humans (and roaches).

[kiva]

21. Yup, my first apartment was across Tropicana from the campus.

And pretty much all of them nearby are roach motels.

I know you're not exaggerating - my July and August bills are three times what they are when I don't run the air conditioner. Before I got into this house we bought a couple of portable units that you could add water and/or ice to...they won't cool a whole apartment or house, but they are pretty good at cooling a room; they did allow us to cut down using the air conditioner at night by putting them in a bedroom. Good luck.

11. I live in TX....so no.

So completely fed up that we are trying to sell our house..buy a truck and fifth wheel and move to the Oregon coast.

I swear, if I have to endure yet another hellish TX summer...........

[Systematic Chaos]

13. My wife and I are gaga over Portland. There or somewhere near is where we're moving...someday.

Good luck getting out of Texas!

15. Location, location, location

I moved last winter from Fresno Ca to southern Sweden

I found a wonderful woman to spend my life with.

Besides, after 58 summers in Central California, i was getting tired of the 100+ heat.

Its 13c right now (about 55f), and the foliage is beginning to be beautiful.

Now if I could just get used to the keyboard...

[AverageJoe90]

25. Where, exactly?

They used to build SAAB cars in Trollhattan, although they're gone now.

Stockholm has a number of nice buildings and Malmo's right next to Denmark, practically.

[bigwillq]

16. It's gotten cool in CT

and I Love it! Hoodie weather, Leaves a-changin, pumpkins, football, fairs, cotton candy, Halloween! MY fave time of the year!

[raccoon]

17. Cooler in upstate SC. Mornings in 60's. This week daytime temps, high in 70s. nt

[Populist_Prole]

18. In NC we're being teased with brief periods of cooler and drier weather.

It's the very end of september and I'm getting bummed out. All but 7 or 8 days have seen temperatures above the normal for the given day ( I'm a real weather stat hound ) and I fear we might get gypped out of our fall, after such a brutal summer.

The first one-third part of september was as hot and steamy as any day in july. Between then and now we'd have spells of comfortable weather ( high 73/low 55 ) lasting several days, then the heat and some humidity returns, although slightly less than before, lasting several more days. The epic battle of fall and summer slugging it out and summer sure as hell wants to go down still swinging. Even on the cooler days though you can still feel the sun's "bite" on your skin, which says to me it's still too early for me to expect comfortable weather as the norm.

19. cooler in Iowa, not cold yet.

should be a couple more weeks . But boy the sleeping is so nice at night right now.

[Iggo]

20. It's a hundred degrees here in Whittier.

We die.

[tonekat]

22. Finally, it cooled this week in DC area

After a more hellish than usual summer, the temps are finally going into 70s in the day and 50s at night. I can't handle humidity, and summer lasts a long time here.

[blueknight]

23. beautiful here

[cbrer]

24. 48F in Kabul! nt

[Systematic Chaos]

26. OMG happydance! Highs falling steadily from 96 to 79 by Tuesday!

I knew this heat junk couldn't last forever.

[Laffy Kat]

27. This is my very first reply!!

There is a cold front blowing through Denver right now. It is cool and windy and smells of fall. I'm lovin' it.

[kwassa]

28. Los Angeles hit 113 degrees last week, an all-time heat record.

September and early October is often the warmest time there.
