And as I get older, it gets harder to deal with, year after year.

20. I feel for you

I grew up in Dallas. I'm living on the Gulf Coast now--it's hot and humid here, but only a couple of degrees above normal.

What's really scary is that it's not even August yet. Hell is cooler than Dallas in August, even in a normal year.

You know it's a bad year when those of us living on the coast start thinking a tropical storm might be a good thing. One that pops up in the Gulf and doesn't have much time to organize before it moves ashore, wet but not too windy. We'd get some rain and some of that heat energy would be dissipated. The gulf water temps are scary high this year.

4. and no end in site.. n/t

5. I'm an hour northwest of Dallas.

According to Weather Underground:

4 triple digit days in May.
21 in June, with max at 109 (two days).
24 so far in July.

Rain for that three month period, 0.14 inches.

Awful? You have no idea.

[a la izquierda]

7. I feel ya in the lands north of the Red River...

or creek, as it were.
Awful, awful weather.

[orwell]

6. Don't worry...

...Governor GoodHair is going to pray the heat away...

[Lone_Star_Dem]

9. Yep. Just like her prayed away the drought three months ago. nt

[Zorra]

8. Wow, that's harsh. Just the temperature in the ground there

must be adding to the misery.

[Betsy Ross]

10. It's 61 in San Francisco at 9:45 am.

Gardens are going nowhere in this extremely cool summer on the West Coast. Sorry.

[tammywammy]

11. It's crazy hot.

I'm ready for October.

[Warpy]

12. The monsoons finally appeared here in NM

We haven't had much rain out of them (0.14 inch, officially), but the combination of clouds blocking the late afternoon sun and cool outflow winds by about 6 PM have made it a lot more bearable out here. Our daily highs have been a consistent 2-4 degrees above normal even with that.

So no relief can be expected from upstream. What everybody has to hope for are a few weak hurricanes to stir up the Jet Stream and change this pattern.

13. I saw on the news last night how the drought and heat are a vicious circle.

At least here in Minneapolis we have had plenty of rain along with the heat. It helps the animals and the temp.

[CleanGreenFuture]

14. And no rain, either.

[kestrel91316]

15. Wow. Can you imagine how bad it would be if global warming were real??

[aikoaiko]

16. I was just in Forth Worth for the week and it was mighty hot.

I walked around the stock yards and retreated into a bar for a couple of cold ones.

[Cetacea]

18. No worries.

It's cyclical.

19. Has Governor Dingbat moved to his knees in prayer instead of praying

for rain standing? The asshole just doesn't get it.
