I think I can, I think I can, I think I...............................

I don't think I'd like a 43% humidity with 100f ......... usually the hottest part of our summer is in June then if all goes as it used to we'll get rain right around the 4th of July. I'm hoping I can afford to fix my A/C before next season.

It's usually dry here which makes it hard to grow a lot of plants that you probably have. I had old seeds from mom's collection which were very old and one flower I was able to discern is a cornflower the other is a california poppy

@rebelann 43% humidity is LOW for my area. It normally hovers between 75 and 100% here. (Some winds blow up from the Gulf of Mexico and brings high humidity with it. I can't remember what that wind is called, though.) As soon as it starts getting in the mid-70s, we have the air running to take some of the humidity out of the house or we smother. (It doesn't help that we get full sun from 10 am through until sunset. The West side of our house is all glass and, even with blackout curtains, it pushes the temps in the house over 80F) We've been getting storms/rain most days. We're right in the paths of all those severe thunderstorms that all the weather reports have been talking about through the center of the US.

Thank you on behalf of Roscoe, he is my sweetie pie

@rebelann how long did he stay in the water for

It depends on how hot it is. Right now he prefers being indoors but I've noticed he doesn't find the cool spots the way Tuffy does.

@rebelann The beloved tub . My mom has tried so hard not to use the AC . . . we all know the electric bill goes sky high. But these past couple days have been that frying pan you mentioned . . . I told her to use it - no sense "suffering". We weren't affected by the curfew . . . and I think after a few days it was removed. It was so lame that it was painted as if all of LA was burning down - the stupidness was only in an area of a couple blocks. Bringing in the Natl Guards was ridiculous - even they requested to leave the scene so they can go focus on real emergencies like the other wildfires.

Good grief, it really sounds like some big shot actually fell for the overly exaggerated reports instead of actually reaching out to whoever the mayor is to get the real story. Talk about stupid these days. I rarely watch news anymore because most of those media reporters are only looking to get high ratings instead of simply reporting the facts. I know everyone blames Trump but I have to wonder who his advisors are because I really doubt 1 person can keep up with everything that goes on in a country as big as ours. I hope your mom has the funds she needs to pay the electric bill.

Yeah, he still thinks he fits in that tub HA!! I'm so glad you got her AC installed. Here it's already gotten to 104f at least once and next week is gonna be a fryin pan. I saw the news about a curfew for LA, will that affect you too?

If the weather peeps got it right then we should cool down some by Tuesday

Tuffy finds cool places to hide, so far he's done great plus he's always indoors so he can find low places to relax in where it's not as hot, heat rises so that's in his favor.

@rebelann I saw that, but the humidity is slightly elevated, so it may not feel any 'cooler' on those days. How do you manage to keep Tuffy cool?

So far it's been ok, I just nap during the hottest part of the day and so do my kritters

@rebelann

I have some frozen ice packs that I use to help me cool down but I am doing ok.

@rebelann Ice packs are also good.

I doubt I'd be able to get up once I'm in there

@rebelann .......It's so hard on the animals.

Yes they do. I have a few pots I keep filled with water for the birds and of course Roscoe has a pool but he stays indoors when it get really hot.

Thank you. As for humidity, no thank you, it is easier to breath during hot weather when the humidity is low.

@rebelann true but the humidity is always high here

There's very low humidity here which helps when it gets super hot

I'm pretty tough so I think I can manage. I just need to keep plenty of water on hand to keep from dehydrating

@rebelann keeping hydrated is important.

Yes, that works really well. Today we'll only be a degree over 38c

Thank you, he really appreciates you.

@rebelann You're very welcome.

Thank you, I have to agree with you

Tuffy finds cool places to relax and Roscoe has his new pool and I'm old so to me it's comfy, sorta. The trick with heat especially if you have humidity is to put yourself in a cool tub of water, that will help a lot. I suppose even Sadie wouldn't mind a cool tub of water if it gets super hot. I don't think I'd be as comphy if it were humid

Thanks, I have enough fans

Boy, you really know your territories I have to brag, I don't drag out that parka as long as it stays above 90
