I took my lunch a little late that day and just walked around the neighborhood.
It was about 85 and it was great!

Yes….tell her she needs to leave TX and go back NE, stat!
Tell her we wish her Godspeed.
“so I care about the local weather but do not give a crap about your weather”
Thanks for posting. You just made my point.
Why not get a generator? What if the power goes out?
Don’t those things (portable a/c) get bad reviews?
It is about to get even hotter this week.
A Historic Heat Wave Is Coming, Massive Worldwide Impacts, Next Storm Growing…

In this video we are talking about a record breaking heat wave, severe weather across the US, and the tropics!
Speaking of cars, I learned pretty quickly not to get into a hot car with vinyl seats when I had shorts on. The trick is to either not wear shorts or put a towel over the seat.
High temp yesterday - 71
High temp today - 69
Our official weather station is at SeaTac Airport, so that means the real temperature is two or three degrees cooler.

2 different issues. A generator if for when the power goes out. The portable AC on wheels is a back if the central AC goes out. That’s my life saver. I run it in my office too. I couldn’t live without it because I keep the whole house at around 79 and my office gets warmer so the portable AC on wheels is fantastic, they get great reviews.
Now if the power goes, then it all goes and a generator would help to run a portable AC. I’m wired for a generator but they are a hassle....gas, they take up space, etc. maybe someday.
I don’t know how anyone made it on the South without AC. They were a different breed back then...tough.
I crack up at the name “Piggly Wiggly”...it’s just a funny name for a grocery store.
that’s just sad....feel sorry for those cattle.
Houses were designed for maximum air cross ventilation.
Yeah....it’s gonna get worse before better.
His point was you’re just a Pri@#....as a few others made.
what helped me a lot was putting electric fans in our attic. My AC guy told me my attic was about the hottest he’d ever been in. I knew I had to do something......they work great too. 3 years now.
lolol.
I lived there in 1983. It was profoundly cold in Lubbock. Didn’t see snow quite that deep, but didn’t get out much.
The Spaniards really didn't like it. So, they let immigrants come in and live there. Bad mistake. Now, the Mexicans want it back. It would be a brutal fight in the summertime. Think about it.
I spent a whole evening reading about the la and el trying to make sense of it. I think this is what I know.
There isn’t a whole lot of correlation with devastating drought. We have been la nina now for two years, it is neutral now but supposedly strengthening for fall and for a third year, a rare event.
La Nina is cooler water in the Pacific with winds blowing to the west causing cool water to rise along South America. It means dry and hot for us but not always just generally. Last year and 2020 were not bad rain wise but the hay was sparse even though we had plenty of pretty even rain. Temps were off though. Cool Spring with sudden hard onset of heat.
El Nino is when the winds die and the Pacific warms bringing hot to the SW and lots of rain to the Gulf Coast and california. The jet stream moves a little south. Generally it is associated with cooler and wetter in the south but drier in the SE. You would think with warming in the Pacific the Jet Stream would not move southward.
It is very hard to find any definitive discussion that is simple, not rambling bs, is current and so forth.
We are in for the third la nina year in ‘22. Summers usually are neutral and allegedly we are in a semi-neutral state. All-in-all, I don’t think the boffins really know what it does. I know it is hot and dry and there is a whole lot of summer left to go. If this is La Nina I’m ready for her to get out of Dodge.
Yes, but before AC Washington was a dismally hot and humid malarial swamp. Nobody stayed there in the summer but miserable gooberment employees and there were not so many of them then. The politicians all went home, no bills passed, no graft taken, not much mischief done. They also actually had to see their constituents. Imagine that.
Air conditioning led to the big gooberment we have now.
Hard to believe this is your bitch.
Weather is a constant topic on FR.
Why not go after the idiots that posts the spew from the view day after day?
Pick a better bitch next time you get drunk.
