Yeah, we had a nice high of 66 today, with a forecast of rain for the rest of the week.
Got to love the northwest, they complane here if it gets over 80.

I'll take the 90 degree weather personally.

We have had a great summer here in Kansas. We have avoided those long weeks of baking at 105°F with 90% humidity we usually get. If it did this every year I could almost like Kansas. Unfortunately no matter what the humidity is high here in KC.

Yeah, I'm with 911 on that one, it's been a rough summer out here. At least we've been getting some evening storms lately, gotta love monsoons...

Near Philly PA it's been hot and humid, with a chance for showers, that by the way never happen when they're predicted to, or straight down pours. Really bites when you gotta work outside. But then again, come that one month a year it's actually nice to work outside, I'll be eating it up.

Vampiro I notice you're not from BC. I guess the only complaint I have is it's been raining since Saturday, but we've been consistently around 30 in the Vancouver area since early July. But now that the PNE is on, we can pretty much count on rain for the rest of the summer.

I did notice, however, on our recent road trip, that anywhere east of the Rockies is a bit chilly. There was a chance of frost for last Friday in Saskatchewan! Glad to be home.

Not too bad here in central Florida.

Until Friday August 13th.

It's been a little more foggy and cooler than usual in the Bay Area. The fog usually burns off by 10 or so, and then it warms up to 75 or 80.

Day in, day out. 75 and sunny today, just like yesterday, just like tomorrow. It's easy to remember why I moved here from Buffalo.

This summer has not been too bad. It was 105 last week but pretty low humidity. I haven't used my A/C all summer. The evporative cooler has worked ok.
