2 days of non-rain ... before rain returns to the daily forecast ... for the next 7-10 days ...

High today was 97°F and it's currently 80 at 11:00 PM and my air conditioner died this morning. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 95 and Tuesday 92. We're getting a new one on Tuesday and the only way I got that scheduled is because I have a medical condition where I need air conditioning.

There is a wall air conditioner in my family room that hasn't been turned on since we moved in in 2002. That's giving some cooling, but not much because the family room is a huge addition on the back of the house.

I'm currently at a hotel.

Sorry to hear that. Hope the new one is installed when promised and that there aren't any problems.

Thanks. At least I can afford a hotel. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't.

Yesterday we hit 100º. Today we only got to about 98º but it was more humid and there was no breeze. And no relief from the sun. The mosquitoes were hovering in place, waiting for someone to walk into them.

It's supposed to be pretty much like this through the week. We might get a break from the heat over the weekend (when the thunderstorms are expected to hit) and then back up to blazing heat next week.

It's a good time to read in the basement.

I'd swap weather with you (hi-66 / lo-52), but I haven't figured out a way to stuff it in a box for UPS.

The Emerald City beckons y'all. Lows this week range from 52-58F with highs hitting 66-79F. It's a veritable heat wave around here

Rumpelteazer · 07-02-2018, 03:17 AM

It's been warm here, 75F to 86F (and in the city center it can easily get hotter than that), for the almost a week now. And looking at the predictions it'll stay that way for a while, still. So far we've been lucky that at night temperatures drop to 50F to 59F and the last couple of night the wind direction was just right, so my bedroom cooled down nicely during the night. During the day I keep the windows closed and curtains drawn and won't open them until it's cooler outside than inside.

Shopping malls and movie theatres are good places to hide out from the heat.

We're supposed to get thunderstorms this week, but it doesn't look like it will change anything.

I don't think my mother would like that. she lives in the Seattle area.

The temperature here goes down to 74 tonight.

That would be good, but I had an appointment earlier and stopped home to see my kitties. It's not too bad considering it's currently 90. I have the AC fan recirculating the air and all the ceiling fans on high. It's 76 in the living room and 80 in the bedroom.

Unfortunately I'm stuck her for a little bit. I texted hubby that I was here and he's supposed to get a tablet delivered on Thursday that needs a signature. He was able to switch it to today between 12:30 and 1:00.

I just realized he's working from home tomorrow to be here when the air conditioner will be installed, so I don't know why he couldn't have had it delivered then.

I hate warm nights, when you feel there's no escaping the heat. So far the warm spell it hasn't been humid, like it normally is. In fact it's very dry, the last time it properly rained was almost a month ago. I think because it isn't humid it isn't too bad for me.

We had to move house very quickly last fall due to a new job. We took a lease on a townhouse while we look for something more permanent. We have the thermostat set on 74. However, because the insulation is so poor, it is 82 upstairs in our bedroom.

As to the actual weather. it is 97F in the shade on my porch right now. The heat index is currently 103F. If you smell roasting chicken - its probably poohbear_nc down the road.
