Will someone please turn down the heat?

It's hot here too. It rained briefly a couple hours ago but then the water dried up immediately as soon as the sun came back out. You wouldn't even know it rained now. My cat is an indoor cat so he doesn't go outside anyway. But even if I let him outdoors, I wouldn't do so in this heat as it's dangerous. I don't have a garden and think you are lucky too.

I came out of church yesterday and it was 98 degrees! It was terrible, with no wind blowing. At 9:30 last night, it was still 95 degrees. My husband went to pick cucumbers and squash. He said there were no squash and only got two cucumbers. The heat with no rain has parched them almost. And usually cucumbers will survive almost anything. It has been hot like this for over a week here. I worked in my mother's flower bed last week for two 30 minute periods and almost fainted each time. The sweat was pouring from my head and my clothes were ringing wet. This is from a person who hardly ever sweats. I had to go in several times to rest and get a glass of water. Don't know what we are going to do if we don't get any rain. Our grass is growing, but not like it normally does this time of year. Our grandsons mowed the pasture a little low this time and it looks parched! It is supposed to go up to 98 again today. The sun is out already. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 96 and a 50% chance of rain.

I hear you. I live in California and it is so hot here. We have to have the air on almost all day and night in the summer. My cats are never left outside in the heat, and my garden gets plenty of water.

Okay....are you ready? I am blowing you some cool air! It's been very pleasant here in Minnesota.....just in the 80's so not too bad. I have flowers that are doing okay but no garden. The humidity was up yesterday making if feel warmer but in all it hasn't been too bad.

It should hit the triple digits here in the next few days, but that's pretty much normal this time of year. The weeds in my garden seem to be doing okay, but the rest of my plants (except the peppers) are looking kinda wilty. The best thing I did this summer was buy a cheapo sprinkler for the garden. I turn it on once the sun gets behind the trees (about 7:00) and leave it on until sunset or a little after. Our cats don't go outside. Gracie (my smart, ninja cat) isn't all that interested, and Captain Morgan (the pirate cat) doesn't have a lick of sense and would probably get lost if he went out.

It hasn't been to hot the last few days we have been getting a little rain here on the east coast. Yet today is one of those day that is heat wave hot. 94 degrees hot with no breeze blowing. The plants look like they can really use some water. The best was to deal with it is stay cool. Ac or under a fan if you have it. We have a dog but I know that he is outside somewhere in the cool and he has plenty of water to drink so I know that he will be fine. Days like this the only thing a person really want is a good rain to cool things down.

Well I live in an apartment building so I basically stay inside and stay cool by taking cold baths drinking lots of liquids and staying in my mom's room where she has an AC that doesn't work too much but it's good enough to give us some relief. It has been hot here in NYC the past few days and they said that it would rain today but so far it hasn't rained at all. Hopefully it rains tomorrow and it's cooler than these past few days. Stay cool and take care.

It has been really hot here the last few weeks. The temp got up to 101 day before yesterday and yesterday and it is so muggy with the humidity at 75% or more. We are not getting much rain right now but with the hurricane season here, we should get some by this weekend. Our plants are drying up too even though we water them, they need some rain.....bad. My husband has only had to cut our grass 4 times this summer because it isn't growing much without rain. I have 2 cats which are outside cats and they always find a cool spot to lay when it is so hot. I keep plenty of water out there for them and they do fine. I try to say indoors as much as possible when it's this hot, but I do have a friend with a pool so I'll do that sometimes as well. I drink plenty of water and juices when I am out though so I don't dehydrate.

I know what you mean! It is so hot lately! I am sure that our electric bills will be through the roof next month! I'm lucky that my lawn and garden isn't really drying out, but I am not growing vegetables or gardens right now and my fruit trees are doing just fine. And no, my poor kitty is staying inside for the most part - it is just too hot right now to be outside long.

Bless your heart. It's been running between 85 and 95 here, I think. But the humidity has also been high. I don't have air conditioning in my car, so I'm avoiding driving as much as possible.

It's sweltering here in New Jersey as well. three or four hot hazy and humid days, I've lost count. The air conditioner is tired, the cats are hiding, it's terrible. I can't remember when we had rain last, it may have been July 4th, no I am wrong it was July 14th, my birthday. I told my husband I was not doing any cooking today. After church, we went to Harold's New york Deli, and got sandwiches, they will last us all day. Ok, stay cool

Aww... I am sorry to hear that. But I guess the heat is inevitable, because of global warming. Here in the Philippines, I think it's even hotter. But the good thing is, it's rainy season and it rains quite often during the afternoon. The heat usually exhausts our pets, so I usually give them twice as much of the water I usually give. My mother also waters her plants more often. As for me, I hate the heat too. But I have no choice, so I just have to deal with it.

o.0 my husband said to me ones if some could turn off the sun hahhahah that's global warming effect i guess its effect of global warming. and it's getting hotter

oh yeah...bt i love the heat, so i cant help ya

Well, come on out to San Diego, the weather's been great here, in my opinion. I live a little bit inland, so it does get warmer, but as I type this, it's 74 degrees. It's been cool the last few days. People here whine about the weather all the time and I don't know why. It rarely gets warm or humid, but if it gets more than 78 degrees or has a dewpoint higher than 50, they whine so much about how hot and humid it is. I used to drive around in the desert in the summer in a car with no AC and I can say that I was too hot when I did that. But, the weather we're having now is great. But, probably in the next month, you'll hear me complaining about the heat.

i know what you mean. we are hitting almost 100 and witht he heat index it is 100 plus. my ac went out too at the beginning of the summer and so we are just laying around like a bunch of lumps in front of fans. it is horriable. we spend alot of time outside in the water. gotta love the water hose. cooing is a no way no how type of a deal in the house. the poor grill has been used alot this year already lol. that an i am sick of sandwhiches and hot dogs. its funny though summer we complain about heat and winter the cold. i just wish it stayed like 80 with a nice breeze all teh time lol.

We've been having our ususal 90+ degree days here in south Florida but we've also had a lot of humidity along with it, which we don't normally have, so it's been pretty uncomfortable. Fortunately, we're still getting those little thunderstorms in the afternoons so it cools off some as the clouds build up and a nice breeze develops. My patio plants try to die every afternoon, even when watered. I don't have a vegetable garden this year and my little dog refuses to go outside in the heat but my two cats still like hanging out under the deck.
