SquirrellyMama Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Our lows for the next couple nights are going to be in the 50's and our highs this weekend will be in the 60's and low 70's. Gotta love this weather! Swimming lessons tomorrow morning are going to kill my kids. My 6 yr old ds has been coming out with blue lips when the temps have been in the lower 70's.

WiseOwlKnits Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 PLEASE send it down here! It's 102 right now at 8:15 p.m. Our high today (not including heat index) was 106. The last month has been the hottest 30 days on record since they started keeping records in the 1890s...or so they said tonight on the news.

SquirrellyMama Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 I just heard this has been one of the coolest Julys on record in Iowa. I can believe it. For the first half of June it as in the 60's and low 70's. We then had 2 weeks of hot weather in the 90's. We've been in the mid 70's to upper 80's for the first half of July and now we are back down into the low 70's. It's been nice. I don't think I'll trade.

Guest Virginia Dawn Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 We've been cooler than normal this year too. It was 58 a few days ago in the morning. We are usually having mid-high nineties now with warm nights. There is still time for it to get hotter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna in Texas Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I think I have that reverse SAD (seasonal something disorder).

Dawn in OH Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'm in Ohio and its been a really chilly and wet summer. I think I've felt the need to wear shorts all of 4 times. We've turned the AC on about 3-4 times, and one time it was due to the humidity, not the heat. We did turn the heat on twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly It's been below average here, too. Actually, I call it kind of cold. It feels like September, not Jully. Every time we go to take care of the calves, my ds pleads with them...

Mommyof4ks Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Trade you! It is 90 here at midnight, and the high for tomorrow is supposed to be 102 with a much higher heat index. Ok, I won't trade, but maybe we could share and make it more pleasant for all of us. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekland Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 We're in Southern PA and have had absolutely the best spring/summer in the 14 years we've been here. We haven't needed the AC at all - and I'm not even sure we've hit 90 so far. It might have gotten there yesterday... but our house stays cool for the first couple days of a heat wave. Pretty much every day has had highs from 70 - 82 or so. Nights have been 50's or 60's. If this is global climate change, bring it on!!! We're loving it...

unsinkable Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I have been loving this summer here in lake effect land. 70s during the day, mid 50s at night. Lovely! This is the reward for winter. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumping In Puddles Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Up until yesterday (crazy humid and hot) we have been having a wonderful summer with low humidity and highs in the 70's! :w00t: What is making it so pleasant is Canada is sending us their cool air, usually we get the stream from Canada in the winter making winter miserable and snowy here and I always wondered why we couldn't get the Southern wind in the winter and the Canadian wind in the summer. (I know, it has something to do with the spin of the earth... yada, yada, yada but it doesn't seem fair!!):tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamamace Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 No global warming here either! I'm in WV and we haven't even played in our little pool b/c it's not hot enough! Went to the beach in NC and my babies' lips turned blue a few times! The 1yo was shivering at times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My3Boys Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Same here in east TN. This weekend the highs will be around 78. I'll take it, and the lower utility bills that go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterbabs Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Yep, this is one of the coolest summers on record. The past three days or so have been more "average", but we haven't had even one 100* day. Usually by now we've had at least two or three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumping In Puddles Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Ok, you all are joking about gw/climate change right? One cooler month (or a few) does not mean there is no such thing happening, man-made or just a natural cycle the earth is going through. Even a few degrees of warmth at the polar ice caps causes them to melt (whether it is man made or not!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterbabs Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Um, actually, no. The "science" behind the global warming idea is flawed at best. Were you aware that the earth naturally goes through cycles of being warmer and cooler, that in the 60's they were freaking over "global cooling", that the greenhouse effect is at best missnamed (block the sun's rays on a greenhouse and it gets cooler, not warmer), that the temperature of the earth is directly related to activity on the sun AND that we are coming out of (one of many) mini ice ages?

mazakaal Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 We have lows in the 50's and highs around 60 with 20-30mph winds. I actually turned the heat on when I got up this morning and read the inside temperature of 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 112 here today. We're going to the movies and then hiding out in our home with the AC cranked, the fans on high and the curtains drawn. Ah, it's hermit time in Vegas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle T Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 In my little patch of the sun, basically every day from mid-June until Halloween is over 90F, and most days in July and August are around (or over) 100F. It would be unusual to get a drop of rain during this long summer. I am determined to eventually move away from here (and the entire Southwest) and live somewhere that is cooler, greener, and not so desert-like.

Loupelou Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 We're in Northwest Missouri here. I actually had to get up and grab anther blanket last night. I'm loving the low 70's.

Blossom'sGirl Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 We've had a grand total of 3 days this July that have made it to 80. My pansies and I like it but the kids would like to swim more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensway Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'm in the north Texas area and it has been so HOT! We went to the lake the other day and even the water was quite warm.

Aubrey Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I am moving to Iowa. You wanna trade. Gotta nice lil ranch. Our temps have been nineties going on two wks. Pre meni and heat dont mix. We're having a cold front for the next week--highs in the 90s, lol. Lows stay in the upper 70s, though, so I guess there's no point in groc shopping at midnight.

My point was that either way, a cool month does not indicate that, overall, our planet is not in a warming trend and it does not indicate that it in a cooling trend! Just as a really warm January day/wk/mo does not mean we are warming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
