Jeannie in NJ Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 at least our ac is working. Went to pharmacy earlier, their ac was out. I felt so sorry for their employees. It was stifling just the 10 min I was in there. They had no fans, nothing. the heat index got up to 123 today and the reg. temp was 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraGB Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'm sorry. It just left here and headed your way. If it's any consolation, it only lasted about two weeks; the temp dropped to about 92 today, but with only about 1/2 the humidity (it's so nice to breathe again).

YLVD Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 It was partly sunny and in the upper 60s, low 70s here in the Seattle area. We haven't really had summer yet! It is supposed to get to 80 tomorrow, and sunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeannie in NJ Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 oh no Laura, not 2 weeks of this heat. NO. It is now 12:24 am and it is 90 reg. and 102 heat index. We can't have our downstairs ac wall unit on at the same time as our upstairs bedrooms window units or the circuits blow. So we are alternating cooling downstairs during the day and upstairs at night. A few times I had to go upstairs today when the ac was off and could not breathe , it was so hot up there. we turned the upstairs units on 2 hours ago to cool off the upstairs which meant had to turn the downstairs off and it is just bearable downstairs now. Ok, I will stop whining and go to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 11:30 and it is 99* outside......it feels great compares to the 100+ we have everyday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 And here I am complaining because I am having hot flashes and can't get it below 76 degrees upstairs. The unit is running 24/7 and I am wearing as little as possible with male relatives in the house. It has been between 90-100 with a heat index over 100 for at least two weeks now. We are not supposed to get extreme weather in TN! :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan C. Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Its that hot here every summer, but I have a/c. I feel so bad for all of you that don't. I highly recommend the cool tower fans that are out now! Wonderful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 One of the weather stations in Bethlehem pulled a 115 reading yesterday with a 145* heat index. I *have* to believe that thing was up on a tar roof or something, because I simply cannot imagine being able to breathe in that! We hit the 10Xs yesterday, which is completely out of character for our mountain top. We're typically 10-20 degrees cooler than "down below", but that was tossed right out the window.

gingersmom Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 With 3 window air conditioners going 24/7 my house has not gotten below 74 degrees. Last night it was a steamy 83 degrees at bedtime. I'm actually tired of the pool. I think we have been at our town pool for about 45 hours over the past week. Heading to a museum today.

I'm actually tired of the pool. I think we have been at our town pool for about 45 hours over the past week. Heading to a museum today. :001_huh: I think you need to reconsider your WTM "location" with those numbers! :D I live at a sunny summer beach, and we turned off the air conditioning for the night to sleep in 81 degree high humidity weather, with the sea breeze blowing in. Yesterday was the first day we had the air conditioning on...because it reached 99 degrees. But I do understand how too many days at a pool can get too much. :grouphug: Jeannie, where are you at? Can you get to the shore easily? Seems like everyone else is here escaping the inland heat. Hopping in the ocean really does cool your core quite a bit.

LaxMom Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) We just put our a/c in for the pending heat. Glad we did, too, because my dash thermometer was reading 107 late yesterday afternoon. The husbands was 111 in Annapolis. He was even hired back for OT today, to staff an additional paramedic unit because of the extreme heat. I hope they have lots of cold packs! Suddenly, I feel a little stupid for laughing at those mister canopies for the back yard. Edited July 23, 2011 by MyCrazyHouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
