Whew! It was 97 F in Boulder, CO today.

[Laffy Kat]

IN JUNE! It's weirdly humid, as well. I tried to take my dog for a walk and she looked at me like I was crazy. She won. It's almost 9:00 pm now and it is still too hot to open windows. In the past, I usually don't turn on the A/C until July and even then just during the day. Very unusual.

1. today was fuggin miserable

our official high was 99, a record for the date, and it's still 87 out. i can't afford to run the a/c, so it's button up in the morning and unbutton at night.

what's sick is that it's the time of year that i enjoy going into the office because at least it's air conditioned.

3. Did you get rain?

It just thundered right over my house and we got, like, three raindrops. That was it. I was so hopeful for a minute.

6. nope

not even a threat. we've already had a couple of small fires and i'm worried about what the summer might bring.

i just checked the old farmer's almanac for grins and, oh boy, did they get it wrong.

Jun 20-28: Scattered t-storms, cool;

there is nothing but heat and misery in the forecast for the next week. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

2. So this is abnormal?

I'm working in the Denver area right now and the heat has been excessive. It was nasty this afternoon when I was excercising outside. But not being from around here I have no idea what is normal weather wise. I've been here in August in the mid 1980's and the weather was the same then as I experienced today.

4. It's NOT normal.

Not this early, not in June. Plus, it's a heavy hot, it's different. Welcome to the area, BTW.

5. Never heard the term heavy hot

But that is the best description I have heard of this weather.

7. it's normal in Texas

that's for sure

[fizzgig]

10. i honest to gods think you people are nuts for living somewhere with such heat

seriously, how are your brains not melted?

yeah, probably should schedule myself for an ass kicking.

[Skittles]

11. air conditioning

LOTS of it

[fizzgig]

8. it is far too early to be this hot

not wearing pants on the patio should be a luxury, not necessity, this time of year.

9. Way too hot!

Ugh

[mnhtnbb]

12. It's supposed to be 100 F Thursday (tomorrow) in Chapel Hill, NC

Way, way, too hot for June. That is maybe in August kind of hot. High humidity is normal in the summer here.
We had the a/c on in March here this year. That is crazy. Usually late April before it's on for a day or two, then sometime in May all day, every day.
