Happy 4th

I've got about two years left before we can move back to cooler zones.
 
We're around 100° but looking towards 105ish in the next few days. I'd claim global warming if it wasn't 60° four days ago.

Same here. Our afternoon temps 3 days ago was 70 with showers. I jumped in the pool with my kids and when I got out, I was chilly. I got in today and felt like a dang bathtub.

The news said that our record was 115 but that was in 1897. That's right, 1897. I wonder what caused the record temps back then? I remember now; a natural occurrence.
 
Over on this side we are drowning in rain, I have green stuff invading the side of the house and the deck. It has been the wettest spring and summer that I can remember up here. We had a couple of days close to 90 degrees with 95% humidity and sunny. Other than that it has rained and been cloudy. Daytime temps in the 60's and as low as 40 at night.

I have had to turn the heat on several times during the day in the last three weeks as my feet were freezing while trying to work at my desk.



Today it might hit 75 degrees, 64 right now.



The lake has hit record levels for us, we have been here for 11 years. They keep pulling boards out of the dam and it is still high.

We fear that the loons will not have babies this year, they build the nest at the edge of the water so that they can drink while sitting on the eggs. If the water level fluctuates too much they will abandon it or trample the eggs trying to get to the water as they are clumsy on land. We have a pair that return here every year as soon as the ice goes out. They are a huge bird, they will pop up right beside the boat to check you out. They look really big then.

It is a delicate balance.

I agree with Mike W. This has been the wettest spring and early summer that I can remember in a long while. We just came back from South Haven MI from a week at the beach and the air temps were never over 80F. The water temps were in the mid 60's all of the time. the grand kids did not know the difference but this old boy would not go in the water.
When I got home on Saturday the rain gage was to the top 5 + inches, so I do not know how much we had but the oldest son who did not go said that we had server weather alerts and flash flood warning all last week. This week it is too be in the 70's must of the time in Chicago IL and it's July. Oh well we are making up for the draught and supper warm summer of last year.

I'd trade some hot for some water any day. Not enough snow this past winter to keep everything full. The Tahoe Basin is almost all melted and that's where the for a good chunk of western Nevada comes from. Going to be a tough duck season this year!
 
121. 3* here in Northwest Phoenix, in the shade, Saturday afternoon (6/29/13). On Sunday morning (6/30/13) at 10:05AM, it's 106* in the shade. It's HOT here!!!! Not much fun, either. However, the winters sure are nice, here. Haven't had to shovel snow since 1975 & I don't miss that, at all.

Another 1" - 2" of rain predicted for tonight and tomorrow. Flash flood warnings up for most of the state again... UGH!!!



I know it's not extreme heat but a PITA in it's own right.



Some gardens have been planted twice, now maybe a third time. Roads are sporting some major potholes.



Should come to an end on Thursday and we can begin to dry out.

It's unseasonably cool here in northeast Texas and the cool weather is in the forecast for most of this week. It's nice for a change to experience highs in the mid-80s this time of year. I haven't forgotten the summer of 1980.

That's what the guys at the old I-H truck endurance testing grounds outside Phoenix said too. I've been there and know better. Hot is still HOT!!
