Record breaking heat in North Carolina

Today here in Ontario, Canada it is 26 degrees C. With the humidex it feels like 32. I find the weather this year in particular has been all over the place. We had a very mild winter this year, with not a lot of snow. Then in March it was like summer with 25 degree weather for a week or so, then it got back down to seasonable. Now this summer it has been a real mixed bag as well. We've gone from it being 33 and feeling like 40 with the humidex, to it being 12 and feeling like fall. Strange weather this year in particular. Like you, I don't like to cook on hot days and I am in a condo and can't have a bbq on the balcony due to fire regulations. We usually eat out on super hot days. We also have an air conditioner that we use when it gets really hot and humid.

yesterday was very hot amlost 100. but today is even hottier it is suposd to reach 105 that is a record for her..it is so hot i cant breath good when we go outside and i get waht i have to do outside done and run right back in, we are sjuposed to get a new air condition unit, but they have not came yet, it keeps it cooler in the back of the house, but not the front, so we have fans everywhere pulling the air into the front as well.. hopefully we will ge tthe new unit soon.. we had not had it a year and i ask why a new one, we thougth the vents were stopped up, but they said when they put in our unit last year they got some bad units and had already replace 9 from the same time the gave us ours.so we got a bad unit fromthe start.. but at least pur bedrooms are good and cool amd iot does not feel that bad in here plus our landlord is a big compamy and really good abput replacing things as needed.. the tv temp just said 111.. wow.. im just gonna sit here in fron t of my fan and relax or even take a nap.. with the fan on me.. until it cools off outside :)

Tuesday it got to 106 degrees here. The heat has stayed in the 100s all week. I just try to stay indoors when I can. The heat can cause me headaches, so I just go out when I have to, and stay indoors when I can.

I am sorry that North Carolina will be experiencing a heatwave. It is a good idea to take your kids to the cinema so you can watch a movie in the air conditioned building. We have had a wet, windy and cold June. It has been the wettest June in the last 40 years. Today began dull and wet and now there is some warm sunshine. When it is very hot I go to the coastline to enjoy some fresh breezes. My dream is to go for a swim at the open air pool further up the coastline from where I live. I like to sit in my garden in a shady spot and read a book. In Cairns we cooled off spraying ourselves in a hose's cold water. That was tropical heat and a high of 35 degrees C.

That's the average temperature here in our country during summer. At peak it goes up to 120 and lasts for a week at least. To make it even more horrible, the power goes off often. But we have to live on with that condition. No other way. (Too bad, every year some people die off sun stroke.)

I am in Fayetteville NC so I am right up there with you! It is SO hot. And my AC is on the verge of going out on us AGAIN! It is starting to blow hotter air instead of cold. It is terrible. I am sweating so bad and so are my kids. =( We will be trying to stay as cool as possible. And hope for a cold front soon!
