It’s been in the low 70’s or upper 60’s most recently.

I think it’s great. :)

It’s 72 back home in Ann Arbor, but 57 here in Roscommon.

Not cool here in the California desert....yesterday's "official" was 118; it was 91 when I got up at 4am, so today might equal that.

At least we haven't gotten to monsoonal moisture season yet, so we thankfully still have that old "it's a dry heat" thing going on.

Now that I think of it, didn’t Barry say in San Francisco “I’m going to have to bankrupt the energy industry”?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V22BN4-845A

If he does, should it be reasonably concluded that users trying to cool or hear their homes would also be bankrupted, as the cost of energy is to high?

Wouldn’t it be reasonable to conclude that there will be people, who being unable to afford heating/air conditioning, will die from exposure?

What about the children. Why should they be made to suffer?

Is this humane to old people?

Also the most remarkable June-July so far here in Virginia. We hit 90 maybe twice, and barely 90 at that. Otherwise, it’s been just perfect, 80s in the daytime, upper 60s at night. That compares favorably to our normally hot and muggy summers. Very little need for AC, which is usually a staple here from June through September and sometimes May through October.

What happens when you start getting rain, does the temperature drop very much?

If one believes man causes global warming, will he or she admit that the Clean Air Act added to global warming by removing light energy adsorbing particulates from the atmosphere?

Recently, I was saying on the campaign trail that it’s a cooler summer in most places and that’s not related to CO2. It didn’t go over very well because I was speaking to a crowd standing in the 103 deg TEXAS summer.

I had to say, “No really - I don’t mean it’s cooler HERE!”.

If we get any rain between March and November it’s a very rare passing t-storm. If it happens in summer, it might drop the temp a few degrees, but then it gets muggy.

The Texas Gulf Coast and the rest of the Gulf I guess, has a very different climate from yours. We can have a drought or a flood at any season of the year. We go through periods where it rains day after day for weeks or months on end and then we will get a year like this one with very little rain. We did get 1 1/2” yesterday here at my house. A few blocks away they may not have received any at all.

We’re having an atrocious summer in Scotland as well. July and the temperature is around 60 in the day. People are still wearing their jackets.

Here in South L.A. County where the air is dirty and the gangbangers wear big saggy pants, it was 85 degrees today with hideous 70% humidity. Ugh. It feels so hot I’d love a little of that global cooling right about now.
