Only 79 °F here today (84 °F in the house) with 78% RH for a "feels like" of about 84 °F outside (and 95 °F inside).. The reason it didn't get any hotter outside was that the thunderstorms hit us at 2 PM (2 hours before max heating time). I was in the horse barn rebuilding the tool crib when the lightning started striking the ground all around us. I took a short break to stand in the doorway and watch (might as well take a vape break, huh?) and I felt like I was in a SciFi movie. Zeus or Thor or one of those demi-gawds was in the clouds hurling spears of lightning right and left all around our little farm... CRACK-BOOM (zero time delay). Absolutely awesome display with very little inner-cloud or cloud-to-cloud... almost all cloud-to-ground lightning. And the downrush wind was so cold I almost wished for a jacket (but I got over it).
Is this typical summer weather?.. seems like your having nutty storms on a daily basis, or every-other day.
The vape break watching the action sounds inviting. SOB, it was just about unbearable here. Inspecting a huge commercial building for a group of doctor-investors.....freaking thing needs everything including a new breakroom sink (including all attachments) for a new sink.... a new roof, few A/C units, really nothing a few hundred grand won't repair tho.
It's gonna stay hot as hell until some so called cold front is supposed to come in on Tuesday, and drop the temperature to only 99. Usually when they forecast something that far ahead, it never occurs. Tuesday may as well be Feb. 30, 2065. I ain't holding my breath.
Not really. Kinda freaky, actually, but being the solar cycle is making great changes with planetary climate, I shall just take this in stride and record it for future posterity.
And doctors, of course, have the money to rebuild that place, ripped right out of their patients' wallets,
So, we having a contest to see which is hotter?
Given that you only had 9% RH today, your "feels like" was 100 °F, so you almost got what they forecast already.
Just wait til our creeks and lakes dry up, and rain down on SD. I've already seen the creeks dry up to the point where I can walk across them without getting my feet wet.Given that you only had 9% RH today, your "feels like" was 100 °F, so you almost got what they forecast already.
May as well...bet sha a buck we win....
I say we deport the heat back to Mexico.May as well...bet sha a buck we win....
The only creeks round here have water right after snow melt, but are dry the rest of the year (the soil soaks up all this rain, so no standing water past the first day). There is a small river about a dozen miles north of us, but it already only has about half its normal depth/width. Luckily, I have a well into a deep aquifer (underground river from Alberta).
Was talking to my mexican buddy who works at a restaurant we usually stop for lunch...he said he just returned from Guadalajara, claims it was 75F and sunny all last week. Never been there so I can't say whether he's just sticking me with a hot poker, or it's the truth.
Elm Creek is about as wide as the Colorado River here. The only difference is the depth and speed the water flows. Elm Creek is usually about 12 feet deep where I crossed it last summer.
Ah, you have the same problem we do, from the opposite direction -- illegal Mexican heat invading and we have those damn Canucks sending their arctic blue tongues down here all winter.
Well, your only consolation to the forecast, Dale, is that all the RH percentages are less than 30, which will make the "feels like" a couple degrees less than the actual free air temperature (my guess is that Tuesday's 116 will still feel like 116, so go ahead a shit your guts out).
Yep. It's a good day for dysentary.

I'm about 200 miles northwest of Guayaquil, the temperature is usually about 5 degrees cooler and less humidity.....I can take that. Now to finish these jobs or hire another person. Never been this busy in my life, the economy in the Phoenix area is unreal, and I'm greedy.........but I'd rather live to enjoy life.
...but I'd rather live to enjoy life.
That's bullet in the head weather too....
I guess I'm gonna hafta drag my ass to bed. I got some boards that need cutting before 10:00 AM. After that, it's gonna be too fucking hot to go outside.
Damn, Dale. That looks a whole lot like the forecast for here (especially the humidity), but they left out the thunderstorms.
But but...it cools off at NIGHT......
What's unique about EC is you can drive a hundred miles in different directions and have completely different climates. Depends how high you are on the mountain, which side, kinda like the northwest USA.
Yeah, that's one of the things I loved about Orygun. Two north-south mountain chains with a big green valley between for farms. Nice coastal area for boaters and fishermen. More than half of the state east of the Cascades for ranchers. Hunting/fishing/hiking/camping everywhere. Awesome skiing. Great mountain climbing. Some of the best variety of geography and geology in the country... I'd still be there if the fucking Californians hadn't invaded and forced their way of life on everyone (of course, the nut cases in Porkland were eager to adopt that bullshit).

I hear that, Rich...my aunt lives up there and loves it...even in the winter.
Were you in the Portland area?...or outskirts....?
My younger years were about 30-60 miles SW of Porkland. When I came back after my six years USAF, we settled in the Aloha-to-Forest Grove area (I worked in Beaverton) - still west of Porkland. Then my company gave me an opportunity to take part in an experimental division In Redmond, so I moved to Bend (Mt. Bachelor had fantastic powder snow and I loved skiing). Central Orygun had everything I could possibly want for every hobby/sport I chose to participate in. Helped start COSSA (Central Oregon Shooting Sports Association), was an NRA-certified instructor for county-issued CWPs (AKA CHL), range master, etc. Lannie and I were both astronomers/guides at Pine Mountain Observatory (UofO) during the summer. Nothing about the weather anywhere in that state ever bugged me like this place does. But... BUT... there are no Californicators trying to take over South Dakota.
G'nite Dale. I'm gonna crash in a few minutes too. Catch ya later.Gotta hit the hay, I'm starting real early tomorrow, hopefully to beat most of this shit.....
107.4° with 13% humidity at the moment, with worse to come.

When it is that hot, you do need ICE
Evenin' DaleEvening pholkz....nother day, nother dollar......
How do Dale... welcome to the late night matinee...
11:37 and it's still 90° outside.
Was 95 degrees in my garage when I went to work at 6:00 this morning....outside....89F....it was a miserable HOT day.
Been eating good food for a few years now, trying to keep my glucose level in the normal range, last A1C was 5.2, which is less than someone without pancreas issues...someone with diabetes a 5.8-6.2 A1C is good.
Now my blood sugar is going low during the day when working somewhat hard, sweating an all. Ate a peach and nectarine, glucose was still 50, should be about 80-90....damned if I know why this is occurring. Need to eat more complex carbs, aka fruit I guess. Although I have a huge fruit and veggie smoothie before hitting the road each morning. Made a doctor appointment with a holistic doctor for next Tuesday. First time seeing a holistic doc, hope to learn something,

I've been seeing a naturopath and she is AMAZING
Learn anything, Juice?
Clear all night, but Lannie told me there was the most unusual and remarkable roll cloud just before sunrise, followed by a thunderstorm and heavy rain. That is almost impossible without something to force the air to rise enough to create the cumulonimbus and turbulence to make the roll cloud. It is almost like someone is creating impossible weather on their Heavenly Computer and our world is merely the test stage to see what happens. When I got up, the sky was clear again, but other than routine chores, I didn't do anything today because I was in extreme pain (seems I forgot to take my pain pills before bed last night). Later this afternoon, I was outside and noticed one small cumulus cloud just a few miles NW of our place. The rest of the sky was perfectly clear. It was not hot enough to provide the building lift to turn that puff into a thunderstorm, but as I watched it, it grew and grew and spread out wide and covered half the sky and it actually got cooler while I was watching. What the Fuck? Am I living in a fantasy land? This shit just doesn't happen this way. It became another thunderstorm, but luckily to the north of us, moving east (even though surface winds were from the north and it should have come right over us). Once it moved east, the whole sky cleared off again. I checked the doppler maps and... yeah, they indicated none of that was ever there. Whose reality am I in anyway? Is my wacko neighbor correct and someone is controlling our weather via chemtrails*?
* that which the rest of us perceive to be condensation trails from aircraft exhaust. She is a bit of a conspiracy loony.

It has been really unusually cloudy here the last few days since I returned home. Can't figure it out either. No rain today, just hot and (and my perceived) humidity. Most of the cumulonimbus are toward the White Mountains, but nonetheless there billowing HIGH into the sky.Clear all night, but Lannie told me there was the most unusual and remarkable roll cloud just before sunrise, followed by a thunderstorm and heavy rain.
