My woods are way out there, but average temperatures: 95 to 100 every day. The only difference in weather is "dry" and "wet". Humidity at 90 to 100%, always.

Hot 88 - 100 every day for weeks, but today's supposed to be in the upper 70s. Hope so, my electric bill is going to be obscene. $500 easy.

Yeah, yesterday was pretty warm. Today is looking rough too -- so humid -- started sweating on the way from the kitchen to the car . . . and I parked in my garage which adjoins the kitchen.

I just spent a week in west Texas where it was over 100 everyday. Back here in the Pacific Northwest, it feels like an Arctic chill when it only gets up to the high 70's.

Slightly less than average for my neck of the woods; yesterday hit 115, today it's supposed to hit about 113.

What's new to the area is the humidity...normally we don't have it until right before it rains. We've had freakishly high, Texas-like humidity for nearly a month now.

Hope it rains soon. High heat comes with living here; walking into a swamp does not.

We've been averaging low to mid 90's all summer! It's been brutal! My electrical bill is killing me (due to the a/c running 24/7)!

After weeks of really great weather (80s) it is suddenly nearly 100 here outside L.A. 99.5 yesterday and I don't mean on the FM dial!

It's been 100 here for 2 months... 106 yesterday I think. Supposed to be 108 today.
Hot enough for everybody to be using to much electricity, ensuring that they will be rolling blackouts soon

It's been consistantly in the high 90's with lots of humidity for the last couple of weeks. With the heat index, it's been close to 110 for the most part. It's a great time for the wife and I to be down to one car, which means I'm biking in to work.
