Right now it is 66*. Our evenings cool down a lot. Our days are usually mid 80's and I don't think we have hit 100* yet this summer. I would never make it in Texas. I am such a wimp.

I'm in Fort Worth, so I'm right there with you! I'm just thankful that I got a new (used) car earlier this summer that has air conditioning.  |

I've now lived in Mesa, AZ for 1.5 years. We got out of the pool this afternoon and were talking about how things felt nice. We looked at the temp - 97 - and laughed because we never would have said that 2 years ago.

It's supposed to be 102 here today. The only good thing is that it's not humid. Otherwise it would be truly miserable. But hey, looks like a cool down to 99 by the end of the week!

It hit 106 here again yesterday. I stayed inside almost all day long. Come winter, when other people are complaining about temperatures below zero, we'll look back on this thread fondly--while enjoying our temps in the 50's" |

It actually feels a little "cool-ish" this morning. Sat out on the back patio, and enjoyed it while it lasted.  |

We got zero rain, but the humidity was pretty high yesterday. The combination of the sun not fully in force with the dropping humidity- and a BREEZE!- it feel downright comfortable! |

Wow, they're not the inexpensive units either. Crazy. Our last home in Texas had a large shed in the back with two window AC units in it. The very first night after we had taken possession of the home, and before we had locks on the gates, theives broke in and stole both units, but that was all they took. I hope the theives needed them more than we did, because they were the cheap models that had already seen better days and were definitely not worth a B&E conviction . |

I could never make it in Texas. Today the sun actually came out and it reached 20°C (68°F) for the first time in weeks. Most days this summer have been wet and windy, with highs in the mid-50s. I would love to have a defined summer with the temps in the mid-70s, and dry sunny days. Where offers that?  |

We looked at the temp - 97 - and laughed because we never would have said that 2 years ago. it's amazing how your perspective changes, isn't it?? we live in Maricopa (south of Phx) and it poured last night... my BF said 'come out here, it's cooled off quite a bit!' and when I looked at the weather app on my phone, it said the temp was still 88F... lol!! But it WAS cooler than before! (btw, we've lived here about 10 years now, and when I go back to the Midwest to visit family, I feel like I can't breathe due to the humidity!!) |

It's almost 7pm and still 91 here. The 'feels like' temp was 101 today. I'm not quite ready for winter, but I am sure enough ready for fall. My grass is brown and dead looking, the plants are drooping even though they are watered once a day. WE are drooping by the end of every work day (but spend a lot of time outside and in an un-air conditioned shop). It's hard to breathe around 3-4 pm sometimes.
Oh and my power bill is OUTRAGEOUS right now. I mean like scary high. Yeah, I'm ready for fall.

I would love to have a defined summer with the temps in the mid-70s, and dry sunny days. Where offers that? I can offer you 78-85* most days with sun. We have been getting sprinkles in the evening. We don't believe much in humidity. We do get crazy rains every now and then, but they dry up quickly. Yesterday part of our city was having flash floods that were moving cars around. At my house, about 8 miles away we didn't get a drop. I think the mountains are just messing with us. |

I was so grateful for that rain. It didn't rain very hard here, but it was just enough. We went up to Utah and Idaho a couple of weeks ago and it was so nice. I had been miserable for several weeks and had rashes all over. Going up there calmed it all down. So even that helped my perspective. I found it kind of funny when we moved here and I first went to the gym. I was hot so I looked at the thermostat. It was set at 78! I still find that a little hot, but now I know that is just walking weather - or the time it cools off enough that people will exercise. But then again I've seen people running around here when it has been in the upper 90s.  |

I live south of Houston and we got a lot of rain. My mom lost power last night and I was very concerned about her not having power today to run the a/c, but her power was back on about midnight. Some friends of ours did not have power until 3:00 this afternoon.
