they tell us there might be a cool front, and might actually get some rain tonight or tomorrow, but its been too hot! 16 days of 100 or 100+ temps is begining to get very old.

Last summer we had over 50 days of triple digit temps (thats like 38+ C for those of you that use that system.)

Its just so hot, all we want to do is hide out in the AC house.

There are burn bans in effect, some areas are restricting water use.

Our constant level lakes still look good, but the variable level ones are looking really bad. I'm wondering if it will get bad enough that the constant level lakes will start to be "drawn down" as well.

sad That is just tooo hot and I don't envy you at all. So far this year here in Italy, up in the north at least, we are not sweltering yet. We have had 10 days of very hot weather for June but it was broken by 3 days of storms so it has alredy cooled down. Very high temperatures for the time of year are forecast again for the weekend though and that's early as it will only be the beginning of July.

I do hope it will rain where you are as everything willbe suffering from too much heat as yousuggest.

Well, it wasn't that long ago the lake was full, like 4 summers ago, so I don't think they are feeling that relaxed yet!

Our lake levels are already down so much it is horrible. Rain would be so nice to have but I guess it would make better sense to have it rain in the water shed so the lakes could build back up so we don't have strict water restrictions. This heat and heat index is horrible for sure. We thought we might have a chance for some rain but it looks like the system that was headed for the Gulf might not make it.

I feel for you ElicBxn.
What a hot place you are in right now.
I am such a wimp with the heat, I admire you for being at all able for it.
It is humid here, but never a problem compared to that temperature!
It is sort of scary when it gets drought like isn't it?
Water is so valuable to us.
But isn't it either downpouring or stinking hot? Geez!
Try to keep cool and safe from the heat my dear friend..don't shrivel up on us now!sadLove and Hugs xoox

That is definitely too hot for me, however, we are just barely seeing summer here. We've had more rain, and 60 degree temperatures in the last 2 months, that it is very hard to believe we are almost into July. If this keeps up we'll be putting on the heat in September. Not sure what is worst, hot, hot weather for 6 weeks, or cold 7 months out of the year. I really want to get out of here!angry


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15572)   ranked 1 out of 445 in journey into oblivion!  7 months ago

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I couldn't live in some place like Canada or Alaska, I honestly hurt enough with the cold we do have and even now my hand hurts from the arthritis in this heat (I shove it under a nice hot cat to warm it up at night to feel better.)


myLot reputation of 93/100. Sweetchariot (977)   ranked 215 out of 445 in journey into oblivion!  3 months ago

I thought I was the only that did that..lol....When my cat jumps in bed with me at night, I do the same thing...I wrap my arms around her, and put my hands right under her belly...their bellies are always so warm, aren't they? lol

Thanks for the BR

Yeah, that's certainly too hot for me too. I just can't imagine how people are taking in places where temperatures are as high as 120+. Must be really blazing!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15572)   ranked 1 out of 445 in journey into oblivion!  7 months ago

oh, its miserable, and its ONLY June, now, granted, some summers we cool off in July and August, but not most of them...

oh my god that is crazy! I would die in weather like that.

and probably why you live up there, I don't envy your winters, but your summers... probably you wish you were here when the snow flies...


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (17896)   ranked 102 out of 445 in journey into oblivion!  7 months ago

no I don't like extreme weather, too hot or too cold, I like our early fall the best.

Hey Elic! Wow! That sure is hot and nasty! We are still kind
of unseasonably cool for this time of year and I'm not going
to dare complain! It has only barely been in the 80's and we
have had rain for almost the whole month of June! We thought
it might never stop and we might never see the sun again!
I wish we could send you some of the rain that we were having
and I don't think we're finished yet either! It was crazy!
It rained every single day for weeks! It has only been two
days now that it hasn't rained in a month! I hope that maybe
you will get the rain since you seem to need it! And maybe
some of the cool weather that we're having too! Try to stay
cool as you can!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15572)   ranked 1 out of 445 in journey into oblivion!  7 months ago

it is really too hot nearly to BREATHE! yes, please send the cool and the rain, we really need it!

It has been pretty freaking hot here, on and off. However, there has been a lot of rain in the last few days, and that has calmed down the heat quite a bit. It was drizzling when I went to the cafe today, and that made things nice and cool. It was such a relief for it not to have been so HOT today.

Today, we had several periods of heavy rain... once with almost gale force winds. Lots of thunder and lightning, too. Supposed to be the same tomorrow. Would you like me to send it your way?


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15572)   ranked 1 out of 445 in journey into oblivion!  7 months ago

Please do, we really need that rain!
