It's August in the Midwest. Last year the coolest it got was 98 around this time. I was walking my daughter to her bus stop and she needed a jacket. It was in the low 60s. It was a wonderful treat. There is a nice breeze and it is lunch time.

I happen to like 60 degree weather. I think it is ideal. Go out and have a nice walk or a picnic on 60 degree days and it feels perfect, I think.

Last week our mornings were in the fifties but this week they are back up in the upper sixties. At three am my wife said it was still at 78 at a bank near where she was delivering newspapers.

I was cooler in my area also but it wasn't that cool it was about 75-78 yesterday not hot enough to run air conditioner. I am wondering though with all these weird weather changes what kind of winter we are going to have. I hope not to bad of one.

I just went outside for the first time today a few minutes ago. I was surprised at how cool it was. I came back inside and looked at the temperature gauge and it said that the temp was only 76 degrees. NICE!

Hi ersmommy. Here in my place, somewhere north in the Philippines. It was very sunny in the morning and in the afternoon, heavy rains fell. As if there was a storm. It rained for about an hour. My kids got wet while waiting for the school service to arrive.

We've had nothing but rain so far this summer! It's been so nasty. The poor kids aren't able to play outside much. It's pretty sad.

I live in Florida where the weather is a surprise from one minute to the next. As a matter of fact down here the saying goes that if you are tired of the weather stick around for 5 minutes it might change. And that is no lie. Especially in the winter one day it will be 28 degrees and the next it might be 75.

The weather has been kind of crazy here, too. I live in the North Eastern Midwest and its' been quite chilly here, too. I personally am not complaining. I don't like the 90 degree days, I'd much prefer 60's and 70's! It's been really breezey and with my windows open at night, I needed a blanket to sleep. Usually it only drops lower at night, but it's been staying nice and cool all day long. Or maybe it just seems much cooler, cause we're so used to the really hot days.

Bad weather - Very stormy here. Jakie is hiding.
I live in the Northeast and the weather is really crazy. All of my windows are down. It was in the 60's this morning, now we are having the worse thunder storms. I think the second one is on it's way, I can hear thunder roaring in the background. There also is a tornado warning going across the tv screen.
