“Meanwhile the West is breaking high temp records every day.”
Central Texas is having early cooler than normal temperatures not normally occurring until September. The doves are a month early and are showing up in large numbers. Again, a month early.
I haven’t seen it. The last three summers have been the coolest on average than I have seen my whole life living in the hottest part of the southwest. Spotty and occasional maybe but not as an average. It’s a chilly 74 right now, for here that is cold for this time of year.
or so they say anyway... gotta keep up the narrativeYes, we are. Hubby and I have had airconditioning in our homem for many years simply because I am quite sensitive to hot weather. Some people just love hot weather, I just wilt in hot weather. And "hot" for me, is pretty much anything over about 77 degrees. Anyway,we were really glad that we had our unit get a maintenance treatment a couple of months ago, because it has been unbelieveably hot here in the Seattle area.
The average temp for Seattle for this time of year is 77. It has been in the 80's and 90's now for a couple of weeks, and next week looks to be mid to upper 80s all week. The east side of the State is even warmer.
However, the real problem has been the wildfires going on above us in British Colombia. There has been a haze over the Puget Sound area for almost a week. This morning I was pleased to see a couple of blue spots peeking thru the haze. Earlier this week, they were warning people with respiratory problems to stay indoors. A couple of days ago, that warning was issued to everyone. Our air quality has been awful, and the haze has been so thick that I haven't seen actual sky for a week. We also haven't had any rain for a very long time. Yes, I did say I live in Seattle. This week, we may actually break a record for longest period of time without measurable rain.
