I wasn't trying to start a competition! I was just telling about how we've almost set a record of days 90 and above. I understand, if it's this hot here, Texas and Louisiana must feel like HELL!! And I heard even New York had a HOT summer?
We should be in the high 70's to low 80's this time a year with evening lows in the high 50's low 60's. With low humidity. Usally our weather starts cooling off about the 2nd week in August or the very first of September. Not this year.
Our students here, start school now in the first week of August. I felt so sorry for them in 90+ degrees and humidity through the the roof. Allot of the schools have crappy air conditioning. I don't feel as bad for them in the winter, even with crappy heaters. They can layer up.
And I hate to go shopping in this heat. All the grocery stores and auto parts businesses are sweltering. They just never seem to cool off.
And it looks like it will be at least another week, before we get even to the high 80's. That will almost be October?
Like I said, it doesn't seem like we have 4 full seasons any more? Straight from summer to winter and winter straight to summer. I used to LOVE spring and fall, here in Middle Tennessee.
My son and grandson LOVE to fish. And have only been a a couple times this summer. When the lakes and rivers are so low, that you can almost walk across them. And when it's 86 degrees at dusk and humidity is 80%. I don't blame them on passing on the fishing trips! They even said our pool feels like a hot tub?
It's just been a strange and Very Hot summer here in Middle Tennessee! And been hard on me being handicapped. That's all I was trying to convey!
