Summer, could if finally be here?

[hemibee]

Well summer may finally have arrived. We hit an outdoor heat index of 128 or 53 this afternoon with temp of 104 and humidity at 48%.

My crew was working inside the turbine building with a temperature of 137 or 58 but I don't have the humidity reading in that area. If we used the outdoor reading it puts them working in a heat index of 283 degrees Fahrenheit or 139 Celsius. I trying to figure out why they were putting on jackets when they came back to my Control Room. It wasn't freezing but it was a little cold at 70F or 23C but semi-comfortable in my heavy cotton long sleeve shirt.

70F is cold

I would be a big puddle of goo on the floor in those temps.
Good luck to them.

Talking about summer we should be in our mid winter now. For the past week we have been averaging 30 degree Celsius = 86 degree Fahrenheit during the day.

H, that hot stuff is here too along with the humidity, its been a hot summer over here, i am ready for some cool weather but August comes first!!!!!

 

[Rocky]

We're getting a lot of unusual heat, fog and humidity.
It saps you and you don't feel like doing anything, but those of you in really hots places would keel over laughing if you were here in this "moderate" climate

You mean like our warmer winter weather we have

 

[Rocky]

I guess your winter weather of late is better than the cold since you don't have house furnaces like we do.
I was up early and did some baking before it got too hot, but even then it was pretty sticky in the kitchen - even with the windows wide open and the fans on.
I won't get into what I was (not) wearing
No relief until stormy weather comes on Thursday.

Its been 25c to 30c plus here for nearly 2 months now..... its bloody wearing thin lets have some nice 18c to 20c please ! ..... but on the up side ive not cut any grass for 2 weeks

 

[DaveM]

We do suffer when we get those cold fronts moving through. For us there really is no point in getting all geared up for the cold weather. So we just hang in and take it when it is that cold.

As I was leaving for work this afternoon.

That's a drop since Kim and I went to look at some new houses in a new subdivision just down the road. We saw this at 1840 yesterday.

 

[shanered6]

Thats just wrong !!!

 

[Rocky]

I couldn't handle that.
Even though my windows were open all night it was 27C(81F) inside the house at 6:30 this morning.
That's not very hot to many, but to us it's hot - and the sun isn't up yet!

 

[triumph david]

I know what you mean, we haven't got up to that yet, we usually get what you get our hot month comes in August, i am ready for winter.

 

[hemibee]

Truck sitting in same spot as yesterday and the difference is a little bit noticeable.

[triumph david]

Big difference H, we had some dry weather that came in and the humidity dried up, our high today was 95F, feels cool as the mid 80's. I know it will be gone tomorrow but i sure hope it is slow leaving!

 

[hemibee]

It was the same here, low humidity causing comfortable temp at 97. The humidity is making a return today and thru the weekend with the Gulf breeze coming back.

 

[triumph david]

Speaking of the Gulf, my wife and i are down at the Gulf Coast for a weekend of fattening food, sightseeing, buming around and using up other people's air conditioning. Sure feels good to get away!
