Aubrey Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Nakia's post about her kids playing outside all day got me to thinking-- What's the weather like where you are? What do you expect? I barely pay attention & then can't remember from one year to the next, but I think 100+ isn't supposed to happen here until mid-late July & lasts until very early Sept, sometimes just late Aug. But 90+ starts in late May/early June (I think) & goes to late Sept/Oct. Today's high is 101. :svengo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Cloudy and cool. We did have a sunny weekend, though. I think the temperature reached 78. Yesterday was overcast, and it will probably rain this afternoon or evening. The temperature is probably below 60 again. We don't usually get consistently sunny weather until mid or late July.

Ottakee Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Mid 90s and humid here today and tomorrow. Then a high of 65 by Friday. This is Michigan so big changes are common. We had snow just about 5 weeks ago and 3 weeks ago I still had on my winter coat in the mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joannqn Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 It's been cold and rainy most days here. We just finished a whole three days of warm (70s) sunny days. It's in the 60s and cloudy today.

Maverick_Mom Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Mid 80s today. Mid 90s tomorrow. It's not unreasonable for the temperatures to climb this high here, now that it's June. (It was outrageous for May, however. ;)) But I hate it whenever it happens. I've just started a walking routine, and I *will not* walk during the day in this weather. So it's either pull out the treadmill or walk after the sun goes down and risk being a blood bank for the mosquitoes. Plus, walking aside, I just don't like heat and humidity.

Jennifer Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 We're supposed to reach 103 in San Antonio today. I think this was the first year in a long time we've reached 100 before June 1st. I hate the heat. Like the pp, we are schooling year round and camping, etc. in the fall and spring. Fall=December.

delaney Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Cloudy but hot here all week. They go out a bit in the morning but at lunch we swim for a bit before the little naps.

MamaT Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Upper 80's here, but so humid. We are heading to FL next week and normally there is a great big difference, but it has been unseasonably hot here this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBasil Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Right now it's not that bad. Today was 87 or so. I don't notice any humidity. The last couple of days were in the lows 90s. Next few days are supposed to be high 70s to low 80s with some storms. Maybe a little more humidity on the rainy days. The weather here changes a lot. I try to avoid being outside from 12-4 just because the sun is so intense and it's not usually that cloudy, but that's not a hard and fast rule. The temps drop a lot at night, so mornings are usually pretty safe no matter what the rest of the day looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortana Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 It's in the upper 60s/low 70s today, partly cloudy and the wind is picking up. It's been a long, wet spring and we are tired of being cooped up inside. We're planning to go camping next weekend and praying the rivers/creeks will go down some and things dry out before we go (major snowpack and lots of rain). Our summers are normally hot and dry (temps hit the 90s in July and stay there until early to mid September, with a few 100 + days mixed in, yuck). Not sure just what to expect, the weather forecasters were wrong on our winter forecast so I'm more in a wait and see frame of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 90+ started a couple of weeks ago and will continue through at least September. Humidity? Through the roof. In July, you will sweat through your clothes walking to your car - in the driveway. :glare: I'm much happier when autumn rolls around.

Desert Rat Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 We are much cooler than we usually are at 90 degrees. It should be hotter by now. I'm not complaining. Although I'm concerned that delayed heat will mean delayed cooling down. LOL I'm just so, so glad soccer season ended last week and we didn't have to sit (and ds play) in 100 degree heat.

Karen in CO Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 85 and sunny with a breeze. No humidity so it is wonderful in the shade.

elise1mds Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 It's been in the upper 90s every day for at least a week now, and I am LOVING it. I love to go out in the morning and step in the dewy grass to water the garden and not freeze. I love sipping lemonade on the porch in the afternoon. I love hitting the pool and the long, long evenings. I love how quickly it cools off once the sun goes down, but it's still warm enough to go catch lightning bugs. I don't even mind mowing, though I'll be honest and say that's only because we have a riding lawn mower. I don't like the mosquitos, but having chickens and some herbal bug repellant (I buy it from a woman who grows ingredients and makes it locally, and it's amazing!) is enough to keep them at bay. I can't stand winter, when I'm stuck inside for days on end. THAT drives me batty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffe Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 It's in the 90s here (I think I'm doing the conversion from Celsius right) and A/C is not so much in vogue. We have it in the house, but it's not powerful. I'll get back to Texas just in time for High Summer (the season otherwise known as August). I say Texas (at least North Texas) has the following seasons (with accompanying lengths): Spring (about 1 week in early March) Early Summer (March - May) Summer (June - July) High Summer (August) Late Summer (September - November) Fall (December) Winter (January - February) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaffodilDreams Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 High 90s in the midsouth with heat index over 100 - one day up to 112 already. This is early for us for these temps. I don't even want to think about the next few months! It's still miserable even running at night after the sun goes down.

LOL We have gorgeous summers and no humidity. I much prefer it to the nasty, soupy stuff I grew up in (although we still played outside in it all the time as kids, I can hardly stand it when I encounter humidity now). Even when it's in the 90s here, I can still sit on the porch in the shade and it's not hot. Cool week ahead with temps in the mid-seventies.

mazakaal Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 The weather here is completely unpredictable. It can be rainy and windy with temps in the 60's one day, and the next day can be sunny with temps in the 80's. Generally June is pretty nice with more sun than rain and temps around the 70's. Then July and August go from horrible to gorgeous and back again on a day-to-day basis. I would guess that we generally get 6-10 actual nice days total in those two months. Then we frequently get a beautiful Indian summer with lots of sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 We went from cold and rainy to hot and humid literally overnight. We had maybe two days that would qualify as nice Spring weather. Today and tomorrow we have heat advisories and air quality warnings. I don't remember them being so frequent this early in the year before. In August maybe but not in early June. Usually summers are high 70's to high 80's, humid with late afternoon thunderstorms which break up the heat. This year we are already seeing high's in the 80's to 90's with heat indexes in the 100's. Either no breeze or heavy winds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Peach Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Here in New England, summers are fairly mild and pleasant(comparative to TX, lol). We usually have a couple days here and there, sometimes several in a row, that are humid and 80s or 90s. But we have very few summer days where my kids couldn't play outside because of the heat. And since we're currently living in a city, we have no bugs! In the country, though, the black flies and mosquitoes will drive you batty.

simka2 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Houston is so much better than KC!!!! I was expecting to be miserable, but there is almost always a steady breeze! I haven't really noticed the heat yet. We still go out to our horses in the middle of the day, I just spray the kids and ponies with water :001_smile:. I guess I have finally adapted to heat and humidity. Did I mention we do track every evening (early) when it is still almost blistering out?! I love it. I do make the kids start drinking a large glass of water about 1hr before we leave. A small one right before we go, and they take giant water bottles. Right now I am trying to find some good liquid vitamins and electrolytes to add to their water bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
