Layers of Heat

At sundown it was still an oppressive 85 degrees tonight. As I walked to the mailbox a block away it seemed that the waves of heat were layered in the sunset. There was no cool breeze such as we usually get to relieve the heat when the sun goes down.
I feel for the people who are attending the Mid-State Fair a couple of miles away. Someone working a booth there told me last night that the air conditioning in her building had gone out for an hour and they had to rely on fans. There always seems to be a heat wave during the fair. That's one reason I rarely go.
How is your weather?

I saw that you are having a lot of heat there. We have had cooler weather the last few days and it's supposed to hold over the weekend, then hot again. It rained this afternoon and cooled it way down, and now its around 63, which is awesome right now.

@bagarad I'm glad you can find some cooler areas. And 65 isn't too bad for night time. It's 74 here right now (at noon!) and it's supposed to be down to 49 tonight! That's a fluke and it will be back up in the high 80s and low 90s after this, with lows in the lower 60s.
I hope you get a good break from the heat soon.

Hot and humid in the 90's today. I don't like to go to fairs and such in the summer heat.

@bagarad I always enjoy when the fall rolls around and the state fair comes to town or the local Oktober Fest on Ft. Bragg.

@Shellyann36 I'm not comfortable in crowds. I prefer small local events.

@LadyDuck The problem is that it doesn't cool off enough until around midnight to open the windows and we live in a one-story house. It's somewhat risky to leave the windows open after we're both in bed, so I just don't get to bed until very late. I'd like to go now, but it's still too hot to open the windows.

It is better here right now, the humidity has dropped. Our county fair is like that, either oppressively hot or thunderstorms all day.

I don't ever remember seeing a thunderstorm here during the fair. We don't get them in summer.

@wolfgirl569 Our fair is over, but it will be even hotter this weekend than it was last week.

We only rely on fans here
I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet

@bagarad We chose not to have it We have many windows that let in fresh air and the heat may not be that intense that fans cannot take care.Also, It is a matter of getting used to. In your case it is once in a way and so your body is not ready for it.

The last few days were terrible, but we know fall is just around the corner! We can make it just a few more weeks.

There has been some relief here this week, but some of our hottest days come in September and October.

I love to hear people from other States complaining about heat--come to South Florida or New Orleans, Louisianna for the month of August and you would never complain again!!

That's one reason I've not moved to any of those places. Humid heat is especially hard on me. You ohave my sympathy.

Nice picture you have in there. The weather here is just okay I think, it is noon here but the sun seems so shy.

@simplfred They are only around if there is moisture in the air. Tonight there isn't much of it.

@bagarad This heat is uncalled for. Mercifully Belfast has dropped to 64 Fahrenheit / 18 centigrade this morning and the breeze coming ion from somewhere is cool and fresh.. I'll want a refund or the chance to sue somebody if it shoots up again. Do you know any good climate lawyers?

I'm afraid I don't know any such lawyers. Not sure who you could sue for that.

So your heat wave is already over? We get ours anywhere between May and October. I can remember even a couple of Christmases when it was ninety degrees.
