I guess we all will have weather, weather or not, but here in Southern California todays sizzling, finally broke down and turned on the air conditioning. my question to my mylotters is it unseasonably hot where you are on this October day? Or is it reasonabley cool?

Hi Hatley,
Wow you must love it where you are I'm so envious, I'm in the UK and we have had no summer to speak of but we have had rain, rain, rain and just for good measure we have had more rain. I really don't know why we have had all this rain because normally we do get a decent amount of sunshine in the summer here unfotunately not this years, us Brits are water logged and miserable has we are now fast heading into winter so were all depressed from the lack of no sun...lol

hi scorpio love the sunshine but not the heat, its mostly sunny here though. but we are sadly in need of rain. things are so dry here that one match dropped would mean another fall of horrible wild fires. thats no fun at all. wish you could send us some of your rain. lol

After the months over 100 degree temperatures, I'm welcoming the coolness we are getting right now. In the mornings it is a bit chilly, but then it probably gets up to around 80 degrees. With the humidity it feels hotter, but I just like the fact I can can get up early, and it is cool enough to take a walk without breaking a sweat not because of exercise, but because of heat.

We have fine weather here except for rain in the evening. Since we are in the tropical country, the heat is bearable but again going out under the hot sun causes the skin to age faster. Normally when the heat is at its peak I'll keep indoors and blast the airconditioning.

As of today we have a nice weather but usually on this time of year we still have the rainy days until the early part of December. It has been raining the past weeks but today i can say that it is a nice sunny day. But there are days that it gets so hot during the day that you won't even want to come out of where you are.

Hi Hatley...
Well, since I come from a tropical country where it's almost always hot or err... wet... I guess I can say it's a pretty warm day. Lol.
I'm not sure if it's the change in climate but the weather here has changed. Usually when October and November set in, it's cool... but for some reason, it's still hot when December comes around. (Global Warming???) Cool days set in on January and February then the rainy season comes in.

We must be getting some of your
weather. It was rainy, wet and sultry
today. Very hot!
When it's hot like that I feel clammy
and have to take a shower.
Then when I'm in an air conditioned room,
I feel very cold!

Hi hatley! I'm reporting from sunny NY! It is definitely
not unseasonably warm here! It is in the 50's and is
supposed to dip into the 30'3 tonight! Not exactly fun
sleeping weather when the landlord hasn't turned on the
heat yet! And even if it was turned on my apartment is
still freezing all winter long so I'm just getting a taste
of the long freeze to come! I seem to be less and less
able to take even the slightest bit of chilly air lately
so I am totally dreading the really cold temps that we
are in for. I don't know if I will ever be able to stand
it this year. Between my osteoarthritic knees and joints
I may not want to venture outside until spring!

Its warm here for a change. Hurray, I'm not ready for the snowy Utah winters yet.
I wish this Indian summer could last forever, but I fear the summer is over.
Thanks for posting and enjoy the heat while it lasts.
Happy Mylotting

it would just evaporate. what scares me is this kind of hot weather with no wind sometimes predates a quake. wow.

Prescott Arizona is having normal, breezy temperatures. It is a welcome relief from the summer heat I can tell you.

I sympathize with you as I don't like the heat. During winter, you can bundle up to keep warm, but when your too hot, you can't do all that much except turn on an air conditioner.

Today is looking as if it will be a beautiful day, but a couple of days ago we had a real shock when we went out in the morning as we discovered that the windscreen was iced over! Brrrrr! It wasn't what we were expecting at all, so we weren't at all prepared and had to go rummaging around for something to scrape it clear with.
Of course, the wonderful thing about the climate here is that it warms up again as soon as the sun is up though, so we did end up having a warm day.
