WHY Is It So Hot?


At this time of the year, the high temperatures in my area typically average around 80° F. This month Mother Nature didn't get the memo. Every day has been warmer than average. On Friday the high of 92° actually set a new record.  So much for thinking about switching into Fall mode!

Tomorrow I'm going out of town for a couple of days, combining a little work with a mini-vacation. I was looking forward to walking around in the area I'm visiting, but since they're having the same hot weather I'll probably just settle for taking advantage of the amenities of my air-conditioned hotel or heading to a local mall...neither of which appeal to me.

      If it were up to me you could have them! I'm looking forward to open windows and chilly nights for sleeping.

    We had an extremely wet September and now early early frost and snow in the mountains. This shouldn't happen. So here, we have the opposite, too much rain and winter type cold and snow already.

    I must tell you not to come to Hawaii right now. We've had strings of 90 degree weather with extremely uncomfortable humidity. My husband actually wants to go see a movie just to escape the heat.

      Hmmm...90 degrees and lots of humidity sounds like a typical St. Louis summer day. Whatever happened to the tropical Hawaii paradise?

    Cold enough in the mornings (45 degrees) for the heater to come on. I would like more hot weather before winter.

      Wow! That is cold. I hope that it warms up some for you before getting permanently cooler, too.

    In comparison, it is wet and cold in the UK. It's rained so much we now have webbed feet.

    God bless.

      I'd rather have cold weather than hot. You can always put on extra clothes, but it's not frowned on when you walk around with no clothes on :-)

      Yep ... I agree. Going with no clothes on is especially bad for men!

      God bless.

      My grass and plants request that you send some of your rain their way.
