We are going through really really hot weather for a very long time now. It is not only hot but humid also, which make the condition even worse. Under the heat advisory every other day, temperature always over 100 F. I can't wait to get over this.
How is the weather in your place? Are you getting some rain also?

I am afraid it's too late. The temperature is rising worldwide. There are two reasons for that. First, the sun is increasing its volume every year. Secondly, due to global warming the overall temperature of earth has grown at a much rapid rate. I think you remember that a few years back the temperature was fairly moderate. Even if you get over this this year, temperature will be more in the next. In my country, India, the condition is the same. India is already a hot country located near the equator. The country is one of the fastest growing economy today. This growth has a price to pay. The forced industrialization is one of the reasons for rising level of pollution here. Almost every middle class family today own at least one car. Lack of proper processing of industrial wastes is a factor not to be overlooked. The cumulative consequence is the increase in the overall temperature.

You are right. Global warming is getting worse every year. Its not only India but every country is doing whatever they can do to improve their economy but not thinking at all about the environment. It is scary to think how our environment is going to be like after few years.

I am hopeful too, but somewhat skeptical also. Because countries like India and China are not ready to take any step for global warming in the shake of their economic development.

Absolutely. But I am still optimistic. I think the present weather conditions have stirred our political minds. Probably they will learn to take things more seriously in the near future.

There is no doubt that the weather has been quite odd this year. The east coast here in the US is getting slammed with record heat and humidity. It's even been responsible for some deaths which is scary. Here in California, we have been what is known as a "bummer summer" up until earlier this week. We have been in the high 70's and low 80's up until about a week ago. We had a few hot days, but it didn't last long at all. It's been in the 90's this week, but will dip a little bit again. We seem to have more heat in the fall than the summer, at least the days are shorter than so the heat doesn't stay to long in the course of the day.
Anything is possible with the weather, it changes from one moment to the next. Just try to stay as cool as possible when you can. It's not fun to have temps. over a 100 degrees! Hopefully it'll be over soon enough, or at least cool down a bit for you.

I think in California the weather is relatively nice always than the other part of the US. I am glad for you that weather is comfortable there.

3 months ago? I wished I remember what it was like last week! lol
Right now it's between heavy rain and sun but it's still very cold outside. You can look out the window and think, oh that's strange it looks like it's summer I don't need a coat but it's quite cold. I tend to make sure we can wrap the kids up as you never know what the weather is going to be like.

Hi, sweetlady10. I can see how you are feeling! It was very hot all this week here where I live at too. Right now, it is 83 degrees. It is still hot, but not as hot as it is where you live at. It did rain last weekend though. I am looking for some more rain by this week again. I can't stand all of this hot heat! I have to stand outside to wait for my son to get off of the school bus too. I have to stand outside sometimes, about 35 minutes waiting in the hot sun. But now, I am going to stand outside for less than 10 minutes from now on. Stay cool where you are at!

wow 35 minutes out side in these hot days, you are brave to do that. I can't stand this much hot sun. I am just trying to stay inside as much as possible.

Yes it has been hot for a few days here and i am not able to complain also because i am having my exams right now and i have to study up everything. But today was a shock because suddenly when i started out to go to college it was raining and the exam had been delayed also for more students.
Problem was we have 2 exams in a row so it was difficult to study for the next one. But we somehow managed it and i guess i did well.
I can't say anything about the weather because it sure has a pleasant way of shocking people. Anyways have a nice day!

I am glad that you did good on your exam. I agree that nature does give us surprise, but its not always in pleasant way.

it is supposed to be rainy season here now, but it doesn't rain that much the way it used to years before. It often rains in the afternoon though. There are times when it is hot too. However, the weather here now is just fine with me since I don't like rain that much. It is easy to be flooded at some parts here, so I guess occasional raindrops are enough...

I understand, this year rain has caused lot of flooding problem in different places here in US. We surely don't want constant rain.

The weather here sounds like your weather. Lucky for us it hasn't been in the 100's, its been in the high 90's and very humid. Yes we have had some rain off and on, it doesn't cool it off, it makes it worse, it adds to the humidity. this has been the hottest summer I can ever remember. I suppose we need to remember this when the snow flies and we are cold. but then I can handle the cold better then the heat.

In the Southeastern New York area, it was very hot & humid, probably up to maybe two weeks ago. There was also hardly any rain, & minor thunderstorms that lasted only a few minutes. The weather was strange this year so far. It was like we went from the bitter cold of winter straight into hot summer, without a spring season.
It's probably hot where you are because of your presence.

Well, in Kentucky is exactly the same. We have 90 degrees and more. I still don't
complain because I hate winter. This is the first time that we had this type of weather for so long.

yes it is hot here also in Kentucky . United States. Reminds me of the times
are surpose to be hot and maybe get hotter because of the sun and planets. I noticed the sun is much brighter and almost so bright it hurts your eyes. The sun is closer . I also heard if it is real hot it may be a bad winter. Hard to say.
But anyway it is hotter than usual and very differant. It has gotten up to 102 and 103 lately and now in the 80s but jumping back and forth. Really strange but yet also was told the heat will get worst as the years pass. Told in Bible times as stated by someone.

Here in our country sometimes it's raining but most of the time the sun shines to much which cause to much heat. The climate today is not good you cannot determine whether it will rain for the sun will shine.

We are having hot and sometimes steamy weather as well. We got lucky and had a couple of cool down days but we are back to hot and humid. Just enough rain to make us all feel sticky.
