This is unacceptable. It should be 74 at the hottest part of a day, not well after dark. Can someone please fix this?

1. I am in Houston, it will be 100 again. |
|
It just cools down to the 70's at night.
It isn't so humid right now, so the 100 isn't so bad.
Please send rain.

3. Ive been following the heat wave |
|
Of all the weather that can happen, that is the worst, in my opinion. I would rather be drenched to the point hills start sliding down, or iced to the point the power goes away and frostbite in your own bed becomes a realistic possibility. I respect the dangers of most weather, but it does not bother me much. Except heat. My brain slows down, My ability to do physical work drops as I quickly overheat with even mild exertion.
With all due respect to those of you who do, I chose not to live in Texas or any of its adjoining or similarly southern or warmly inclined states for a reason(More than one, but heat is high on the list). I believe that I would rather be homeless in the tundra than rich in the tropics.
I like the cool side of temperate. If every day had a high between 62 and 67, and the nights dropped 10 to 20 from that, I would be in heaven. And this part of Oregon is supposed to be temperate. Upper 80s/lower90's for several weeks straight is not what I signed on for. In the face of all the hundred plus stuff yall are experience, that may sound weak. So be it. I am still heartily sick of it.

Where are you?
When it finally starts getting around the low-mid seventies here at night. we are grateful and open a window for a few minutes for the fresh air.
Haven't seen anything north of 82 since late April it seems.

6. I got all I wanted of it |
|
back before I lived here. In reality this is not that bad.
I dont want to be used to it. I like living in a place where natives are referred to as webfeet and rain is the main form of weather.
