It's TOO FREAKIN hot to sleep! What the hell? It's MAY

[Viva_La_Revolution]

92 degrees today in Portland. This is just NOT RIGHT.

11pm and it's still 83 degrees, and HUMID

makes me cranky!!!

AND DU is sloooowww. That makes me cranky too. :P

[babylonsister]

1. Wow! And it's supposed to go down to around 55 degrees in Houston

at night for the next few days, which is really bizarre. :wow: :scared:

[sandnsea]

2. Come on over

It finally cooled off here. It was an icky day here too, but at least it wasn't flooding!!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

11. I'm thankful there's no flooding but it's really not fair

that you guys are 20 degrees cooler.

Blow some of that my way, will ya??

:hi:

[sandnsea]

27. No, I would only blow hot air!!

:rofl:

Seriously, it was hot and muggy here today too. Official high was 81, but a friend of ours recorded 92 on his thermometer. Still, I wouldn't really compare it because if it gets too bad we can always go to the beach. Any time I get a bug to move somewhere else, I think about our weather and there's just really nowhere else to go! It's supposed to be cooler the rest of the week - we can hope.

[diamondsndust]

3. lucky you!

it's 49 degrees here on my front porch in East Tennessee and I've got the heat on!

[tcfrogs]

4. Cool in the Midwest

And DU is slow here too. Some sort of coincidence? :)

[Robbien]

16. Its down right cold. I am sitting here in sweats, double layered.

Over here by the lake it is really chilly.

[Maine-ah]

39. yep, cold and rainy (still) on the coast

the heat going, and still in winter clothing. Will it ever end? I think I'm starting to mold.

[EFerrari]

5. Hey, Viva. There were PEOPLE IN THE WATER at the beach

down here yesterday.

I visited this 'hood every summer as a kid. We never ONCE went to the beach because it was too cold and foggy.

Now, the fog has tan lines.

[TomInTib]

10. You should have traveled about 7 miles today (ferry)...

I would be hard-put to remember a better day (albeit slightly windy - but perfect. You know) across the Bay from your beautiful city.

[EFerrari]

15. Have to, soon. One of these nights, we'll see you at the

Throckmorton.

[TomInTib]

18. Deal. We went to a benefit for the Greenhill School, Mill Valley

on Saturday.

17 acre unreal residence on Mt Tam.

All one could eat and, unfortunately for me and my crew, drink.

Entertainment by RatDog (Bobby Weir's band) and a beautiful full moon, to boot.

We were one of the sponsors. Took an absolute bath, lost a ton.

But it was worth every penny.

[Erika]

6. Agreed, it's now 72 in Boise Idaho

About 20 degrees above normal.

[Tempest]

7. 95 degrees in Bakersfield

In another month it'll be in the 110 degree range.

And a month after that it'll be in the high 120 degree range until September.

[Liberal In Texas]

8. Wow...In Dallas it's about 67F.

That is weird....

We have windows open with a breeze coming through and it's actually cool...

Wow....Portland?

[nealmhughes]

9. heat wave -- not!

I had to close every window and turn the heat on when it got dark tonight. It is about 45 degrees here just north of the Tennessee River in North Alabama. I had to use the AC most of March, and it was 90F several days then... What in the world is going on with the weather? We ought to be swimming by now!

[Whoa_Nelly]

12. Remember that Twilight Zone episode "The Mifnoght Sun"?

The one where the earth was getting closer to the sun and everything was melting, but at the end the reality was the world was entering an ice age...

[Tsiyu]

13. I'm with the other Tennesseans

in the 40's, have the furnace going, drinking hot chocolate and wondering why it's so damp and drizzly and chilly.

This weather certainly is bizarre. My tomato plant is looking sorrowful...

[GRLMGC]

14. Santa Barbara

It's cool and gloomy here.

[IMSA]

17. HAHAHAHA

I was going to ask if you're in Portland. It's just as hot in NE Portland

IMSA

[Viva_La_Revolution]

21. I would say Welcome to DU! but it looks like you've been here awhile...

you low poster, you!

Did you know... there's a Portland DU Meetup the first Saturday of every month?

Good brews, excellent conversation.

Check the Oregon Forum. We meet at a different spot every month. Sampling all the Portland flavors, so to speak.

:)

edit for: spelling like a freeper :eyes:

[eeyore]

19. Right there with ya viva_la...this is bullshit!

I've been in Oregon for 20 years, and I've never felt this in May.

It's kind of freaking me out.

:scared:

Oh, wait....

:grr:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

23. just a little global warming...

nothing to freak out about.

:scared:

[texanwitch]

20. So that's where our heat went, right now it is a cool 63 in Houston.

Today was beautiful, cool temps, this isn't Houston in May.

[Rainscents]

22. Hi Viva_La_Revolution!

:hi: I know what you mean, it was very warm and humid here too! I think we got up to mid 80's.
What the hell is going on with DU loading page? It's very SLOW!!!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

26. Incredibly sloooowww

I'm so spoiled. :)

You should get some relief soon. there's a cool front moving in... or so they say :eyes:

[ForrestGump]

24. It's 100 or more here in Vegas, and last night it was over 96 in my room

Landlord's A//C sucks and he won't do anything about it. I've got three fans on me now and they can only do so much.

I don't know what the temperature is tonight, because when it went past 96 last night it seems it fried the sensor in my little projection alarm-radio, such that not only does the thing not show me the temperature but it also no longer beams the time on to my ceiling...just sits there saying "Lo°F," which is an outright lie 'cos it's f***ing Hi- °F.

It's at least 95°F in my room all summer long (after midnight and all through the wee hours, too), and I'm not looking forward to that from now 'til October or November. Better move out of this hot box, because the lack of respite from heat here threatened my wellbeing last summer.

[sandnsea]

29. Oh my gosh, how miserable

I spent a year in Nevada and I don't care what anybody says, the heat there is just as miserable as in the south. It's like a wall of flames hitting you in the face every time you walk out the door. And no air conditioning? I don't know how you stand it. Maybe cool rags on your head?? Take care. :hug:

[Liberal In Texas]

25. It'll pass. NBD. Just remember us in Texas when the

heat strikes at 110 or something. And my tomatos wither.

Now, it's just the nicest weather ever. No humidity. No real heat.

Nowwwww, as far as DU being slow...that makes me cranky too....

[Skittles]

31. when it hits over 100 degrees for over 30 days straight

yup, Texas :o

[Occulus]

28. uuuhhhhh... it's 51 here in MI

MAYBE 70 by Thursday. We've had rain for the past week.

Solid.

The GOOD news from this is, the colors this fall will probably be killer.

[laylah]

30. Rainy and

43 degrees here in the QC area of Illinois/Iowa. Unusual for this time of year, also.

[depakid]

32. It's humid hot stuff too

:mad:

Not liking it any more than you are- and fixing to get worse.

[RebelOne]

33. It's a very pleasant 60 degrees here in No. Georgia.

I'm sitting in front of the computer in a heavy chenille robe.

[B Calm]

34. Cold and wet behind the Hoosier Iron Curtain

[Random_Australian]

35. Beat you! I got 90 F, 90% humidity at 2 a.m.!

(Last summer, it is Autumn now, and I have moved)

[REP]

36. It's Always Hot in Silicon Valley in May

We usually get a few days in te 100s and then it cools down again. No 100s yet, knock wood, but it was freaking hot today, and of course today was the day I spent at the laundromat!

[madokie]

37. 5:15 here and it is fifty degrees, the pellet stove just lit

and I will be wearing shorts before the day is out. What a contrast from just a few years ago. And it is bushco*'s fault you can bet on it, rolled back all the work we have done concerning the environment for the last 40 or so years.

[0rganism]

38. It's not the temperature that bugs me, it's just that it's coming in MAY

This is July-style weather, no question.

I suspect this particular heat wave will pass soon enough, but we're going to see a lot more of this kind of thing earlier and earlier in the year as the climate changes.

Look on the bright side: at least we're not on the gulf coast for hurricane season this year. Plenty of ambient energy available...

[OhioChick]

40. 50's here........

just been raining and raining and raining........:crazy:

[JesterCS]

41. Ohio blows atm

The weather is odd. That stupid low keeps rotating over us. it was cold yesterday

[Rockholm]

42. Raining and 48 in coastal Massachusetts.
