You wouldn't believe how many 'lower 48' people have come up to southeast Alaska these last two weeks! Here our current temps are in the low 70s, sometimes misty. Just the way I like it.

What catspaw said, only in New Jersey. And no rain. It's time for the annual drought. At least I have a deep well and really cold water. I can go lie in the tub for an hour. And to continue his gripe about the weather reporters: why do they have to deliver bad news with a smile? HOW ABOUT THOSE TORNADOES IN TEXAS, HUH? HA HA, AND BOY IS IT HOT, A HUNDRED DEGREES HERE IN NJ AND NO RAIN FOR 6 MONTHS!!!!!HA HA HA, BUT IT'S AIR CONDITIONED HERE IN THE STUDIO, SO THE HELL WITH YOU VIEWERS OUT THERE!!!! I checked the Criminal Code book at work, and apparently, weather reporters are not exempt from the laws against murder or manslaughter. Our laws need updating.

It's hot......it's real friggin' hot.......and it's humid........it's real friggin' humid. The word "friggin'" here applies to only the weather 'cause it's too damn hot and humid for the other kind!

I was hoping we'd make it through this summer without one of these episodes, but it's Ohio and in the midwest, this is the way of things. We have now had a 110 degree difference in temperature this year so all is about normal.

I hate the weather dudes on the tube............

"There's some relief coming as the cold front moves through.".......Lemmee ask you if 5 degrees seems like relief? When the humidity is at the 80-90 level, who cares?

or

"We have the potential for some thunderstorms popping during the evening hours and of course this time of year severe weather including flash floods and tornados."........Yeah, great....at least the wind will be blowing.

or

"Thunderstorm activity will be scattered and I hope it doesn't interfere with your fun wherever you are.".........Fun? Sweating your ass off is fun? What did I miss here?

What he's referring to is the State Fair now in progress. I love County Fairs and Ohio has lots along with assorted festivals. My county has there fair in October......cool weather, fall colors, a beutiful od time red roofed permanent fairgrounds...it's a postcard from another era. But the state fair???? It's August, it's hot. It's dry and dusty, but the humidity allows the dust to cake on you like a clay colored "Man-Tan." Then it pours down rain and the place turns to mud. But the sun pops out about twice as hot with the extra humidity and the mud dries quickly leaving you once again covered in dust. I haven't gone to the damn thing in 35 years and I'm still trying to get the crud off from that time!

Still, I'm an Ohio boy and I've lived a lot of other places..................but home is home ain't it?

Hot! Mostly dry. I have to water every day, and my miniture rosebush is failing. The only thing in my garden that seems to be doing well is the aloe vera. It's been in the low 100's, down to about mid 80's at night. Did I say hot?

In the north Texas area, late summer takes on the smell of dried grass and hot asphalt. We try to do all of our travelling after sundown, and even the the kids have become nocturnal creatures. I'm a mom, so I never sleep, and sunrise and dusk are my favorite parts of the day this season.

Here in the north of Scotland, 50 miles north of Inverness that is, the weather is rubbish. Once again it rained to-day for a short time. I don't think that we've had any more than 10 days without rain since end of May, this is without doubt the most miserable summer I can remember. I'm going over to Boston and points north from 6th September for 2 weeks, so it will probably rain there too. Excuse me Mudcatters but I'm feeling paranoid.

I am sitting at work looking out on to West Parliament Square in Edinburgh. The tourists are flooding the place and most look quite happy - nice. There is a young man sitting beside St Giles Cathedral playing a clarsach - I think the tune is "Dark Island" - which lends an air of serenity to a chaotic scene.

It has just clouded over after a morning of blue skies and scuddy white clouds. It is very warm but, judging by the past few days, it will rain before dark. Edinburgh seems to have missed out on the heatwave so far.

We've been having some rain everyday lately, but that is better than drought.

Well since I got back to work out here in North Africa, its been hot, damned hot. Today though its exceeded that and is now chuffing hot. Difficult to say what the temp is cos the thermometer burst a while back. Its often windy as well, the winding is also chuffing hot and contains half a ton of sand in each gust, this mean that we never have to buy overpriced cleansing products that promise to remove dead skin and so on, we just go outside for 5 minutes with t shirt off. Oh yes, no clouds, just perfect blue.

HOT!! (100F/38+?C) Tonight, severe thunderstorms and rain with lightning, and still hot. At least the rain will help with the fires. I too, prefer "too hot" to "too cold." I seem to always be able to cool off, but never get warm, esp at temps below 0 F/-32 C. Shudddddddeeeerrr. Please cover my feet.

Why is it that cold looks colder in Centigrade, and hot looks hotter in Farenheit? Shouldn't there be a "real relative" scale, (grin)?
