Will this summer ever be over?

[smrtmama]

It's officially fall now and we are still at 90 degrees Fahrenheit here in the north metro Atlanta area. It's been in the 90s consistently since late April/early May. I'm so tired of being sweaty. My Canadian friend just had her first snowfall of the year and I was so jealous I almost cried.

Over in S. Carolina and we've been in the same boat. I'm so sick of it being hot. We actually have had a few mornings in the 60s and it was such a welcome change. Our electric bills have been huge. It's been so miserable, we've hardly wanted to be outside this year. Not just hot but really, really muggy with heat indexes above 100 consistently through the summer.

 

From my family in Alaska, they've complained of it being a cool and wet summer. I think I'd almost rather have that!!!

My husband asked me last night why I was so cranky this week. My reply went something like:

 

I am so tired of sweating!!! I want to go outside with clothes on and not be miserably hot!! It is SEPTEMBER, people!!

 

So, you're not alone, I assure you. My browser says it is 93 degrees outside and my daughter has soccer practice today. :(

[Whereneverever]

I will gladly offer up my cold, dreary weather. ;)

[LizzyBee]

It's 96 here in Raleigh right now. I keep thinking we should close the pool, then I think no, it's still hot, we should be using the pool.

 

At least it's been cool in the mornings.

Yep, we just got home from the coolest soccer practice all year, and it was 90. We had a breeze. It was practically December by comparison.

[Crissy]

You must have been given our share. Summer never arrived here in the Pacific Northwest.

[Mejane]

We took our pool down last week, and this week it shot back up to 85. A/C's back on. Enough with the heat already. :glare:

I check my Weather Channel app multiple times a day. I am deathly afraid that they are teasing with the promise of a high of 80 next week.

 

I desperately want to :chillpill:

They keep saying it's going to cool off... hasn't yet. :tongue_smilie:

Overall, we had an unusually cool (and at times overcast) summer, but this weekend it's supposed to be up in the mid- to upper-90's. I guess the only consolation is it's a "dry" heat, but 30+ weeks pregnant, I don't want any heat! Today has been a perfectly lovely fall day - 74 degrees, mostly sunny, with a slight breeze. I want it to just continue like this until winter hits.

when I was running this morning, and it felt very warm and humid at 7:00, I kept reminding myself that in just a few weeks I'll probably need gloves.

[carolinagirl]

You know the downside of the cool mornings? The pool is getting to chilly to enjoy LOL. So it's still hot in the afternoons, too hot to winterize the darn thing. The solar cover keeps the top foot or so warm but then the deeper parts are too cold.

 

So we have to keep treating, cleaning and keep the filter on, grrrrrr! I love winterizing it. Our electric bill drops about $100 every fall beyond the regular amount from using less A/C. :/

It's going to be 98F or warmer here the next 10 days.

 

DH has some air conditioning system so that he can keep the house around 72 and have the energy bill lower than when we kept it at 75. So, i'm cool in the house (I've been wearing jeans all week), and then I bake when I need to run errands.

[SonshineLearner]

We never got summer... Well... we got about 4 or 5 hot days... :(

[ereks mom]

Summers are always hot here, but usually it cools down to the low to mid 80s by late September. So far this year, it's still HOT. I don't even remember the last day we had that was below 90°. Monday the high was 98°. I hear we're supposed to have temperatures in the 80s next week. I'm ready.

[My3Boys]

Well, I'm in SE PA and after 2 weeks of having our windows open we hit 90 Wed and high 80s yesterday and today. We are supposed to cool off again this weekend, but I'm so tired of the back and forth.

 

I went to the produce stand at the farm today. There are pumpkins and mums all over the place and I'm there in my shorts and t-shirt. That's just not right! :glare:

[OregonNative]

I hear ya! Still 80's-90's here in TX. Having moved from Oregon 90 days ago, this does not feel like Fall. I'm SO over this miserable summer:glare:

[mcconnellboys]

Ugh. We're like that, too. Although I'm hoping the rain coming in (finally) now is going to change that for next week.... We just got back from Boston and it was 86 there one day, too. We were in Williamsburg the week before and it was hot and even dryer there than it is here. It's yucky all over the eastern US this year.....

[Ravin]

Today's high here was 105. A DJ on the radio last week said it was the hottest on record since like 1962. It was 111 that day.

 

I'd be happy if the triple digits would break for the year. 90 would be lovely!

As we were driving north from Florida today, I somehow thought it would magically get cooler. Nope. It is warmer at home than it was in Orlando. (Yes, I was at Disney World with the rest of Cobb County.)
