Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot! 1 Attachment(s) Attachment 283996 Hello, welcome to Summer in Texas. It is sooooo HOT and does NOT even cool off at night. The heat index is even higher and the humidity... ewwwww!!! Sam and I are moving to Alaska for the summer:rolleyes: |
I might be right behind you on that trek to Alaska! My son had a 7 on 7 (no linemen and no pads) football tournament this weekend. It was so humid, my glasses kept fogging up while I watched! But it was worse the weekend before when he was playing in a baseball tournament. I don't know how these kids do it! |
Yes, it certainly is. I haven't even been going outside but I have to venture to Wal-mart this afternoon. I so much appreciate air-conditioning. Where in Texas are you? I live in southeast Texas. |

I need to get something out of my car and at 10am, I dread going outside!! |
We moved to CO from KS about 2 months ago and I do not miss the humidity at all! Although, we are headed back to KS for about 2 weeks of military duty and I'm sure you won't catch me out of the hotel very often unless it's at the pool :cool:. Crazy DH wants to move to Texas: Dallas, San Antonio, Austin eventually. Argh!! I love Texas, but the humidity is terrible!!! :eek: |
Welcome to NJ Welcome to NJ, this summer has been unseasonably cool, usually by now it is 85 to 90 hot and humid. Our pool has been open since Memorial day and no one has been in it yet (pool temp 72). By now the water should be around 80 to 85. The days just recently are beautiful around 80 to 85 mostly not humid, but in the past month we have dad 24 straight day of rain (it was damp cold and yucky). But the nights are going down to low to mid 50's which lowers the pool temp drastically. Guess I should be happy though haven't turned the AC on yet this year. With my electric bill here in good old NJ running at 275.00 a month just for ceiling fans, lights and pools pump on is a killer hate to have to put the AC on :eek:. |
Oh, I hear your pain! We are in Brenham, TX. The only thing that saves my sanity is that we have a nice wrap-around porch and live out in the country up on a high hill. It's always pretty comfortable on the porch because of the contant breeze and shade but step off of that, and it's a killer! We have plans to finally put in a pool in the next couple years (paying off debt first) and that will be a lifesaver! Especially since around here you can pretty much swim from May to November. |
Im in central texas (fort hood) and Im melting!!!! We went to the drive in last night and brought a fan. :) when the 2 movies were over it had dropped to 86 degrees. I was afraid to take my babies with me but the people next to me had their teapot. She was sooo cute. She had a tail which Ive never seen in person before, their cute! |
Please send it our way! Like Bellamore said, this Summer in the Northeast has been horrible! Our pool as well is a chilly 78 only because our pool heater of 4 years just konked out after filling up the 100 gallon propane tank, of course . . .In a few more days I expect the pool temp to get into the mid to low 70's because of our weather conditions. I don't miss the humidity much, but at least let's get a little Summer in before Labor Day begins . . . |
You can send 20 degrees to me if you like, that would make our weather perfect. :) Quote:

We also live here in Texas...Houston, and it is sweltering. We took our grandson to Galveston last weekend to play on the beach. We stayed in the motorhome till 5:30 waiting for the sun to go down so that we wouldn't melt. My grandson kept asking "NaNa is it cool enough to go outside yet" :p Oh well it only last a few months. |
Come to the Phoenix area. Its 115 in the day and 95 at night around 2 am. But ITS A DRY HEAT! Not much humidity here.:) |
My crazy DH has served 3 times over in Iraq and has been in 130-140 degree weather. He actually likes it over there. He is some kind of nut!! |

man that is HOT!! |
We just got back from Utah and it was so nice and cool! I sure wasn't looking forward to coming back to this heat! I hate going outside. It is so humid here. We are only about 20 minutes from the coast. We haven't had any rain for months, everything is burning up! |
I live about 70 miles north of Dallas and Pepper and I have hardly seen the light of day. It is so hot outside we just stay in under the a/c. It is absolutely miserable out there. Two years ago, yesterday, I quit smoking after having smoked for 36 years. Well, that, and some health issues I have put on a considerable amount of weight. I finally got it in my head to start walking. I have been leaving the house as soon as it is light outside. OMG, it is still freakin hot!! I have to force myself to open that front door and head out. I am ready for winter. And Twalla, not sure about Alaska. My dad has been rving in Alaska for the past 6 weeks or so. They stayed at Santaland RV park in North Pole, Alaska and he said when they arrived it was 86 degrees. :eek: |

So with the jetstream positioned close by, storms will be likely to take tracks close to New England, meaning above normal precipitation amounts. New England will also be positioned on the northern side of the jetstream, which is the cooler side, meaning below average temperatures. So it's been a chilly/wet summer so far... like no summer at all! This weather SUCKS! I would trade houses with you for a week if I could! At this point I'd gladly take a week of 100+ degrees sunny days! Funny how opposites the weather is from your area to mine! |
I love hot weather, I love it, I love it, I love it!!! It gives me energy, it makes want to do things outdoor. If it's too hot, I just wear shorts and a tank top and I'm ok. Crazy me? I hear that all the time. :p, but seriously, I love the Houston heat.;) |

To those in cooler temps - we'll all be making fun of you this winter when we're wearing our shorts if that makes it any better :D |

I'm kind of like you - I can handle it but feel for the pets and those who have to be outside working all day - I don't know how they do it |
Air Conditoning and Electric Bills I guess all of us in NJ should be happy that it has been cool. Even though I miss swimming in the pool. I haven't turned on my AC yet. My summer AC bill without AC here in NJ was 250.00:mad: this month. That includes ceiling fans, pool pump running 24 hours, dishwasher running 1 x daily, washer and dryer about 6 loads a week, TV on at night only, and using lights only at night. If I run my AC 24/7 I can't even fathom what it would be. Last year I ran it for 1 week straight only and it was 423.00:eek: that month. My stepdaughter out in Indiana runs her AC 24/7 never shutting down in a 8 room house similar to mine and her bill in summer is 135.00 monthly. How is everyone elses around the country compare in summer. :aimeeyork |
Texas heat is something I don't miss, though I miss everything else about it. Not ever opening your windows from May through the beginning of October. And heaven forbid a thunderstorm rolls through and knocks out your power and you don't have air-conditioning for hours. I was there in May and it was cool in Dallas, which was unusual for Dallas in May. |
Our electric bill for last month was $258. We have 3 window a/c units running all the time. We have an older house on blocks and it takes a lot more to heat the house in the winter than it does to cool the house in the summer. During the winter there are several months our electric bill is over $500. I can handle being a little warm but I can't handle being cold. |
Welcome to England A temperate climate warm days, not too much humidity, odd showers to clean the air, plants grow great and best of all nice beer love G |

It's 108 here right now, may reach 111 later. Tomorrow, the high is 115. Argh. |
It's been really hot here in California 100 plus some days. Thank god for my redwood trees in the back yard. Keeps everything a bit cooler, especially with the misters on. And the beach is onky 40 minutes away. I love the summer weather here, and you all fromTexas East can keep the humidity, Do Not miss that one bit. I truely feel for all of you in Texas. |
I have my fingers crossed that we do not get any hurricanes this year. Two hurricanes in three years has really been too much. We still have not recovered from them. And going without electricity for weeks in this heat and humidity is just too much. I think if we have another one like the last I will pack up and move further inland. |
