    I just came back in from transplanting some seedling basils that I couldn't get out earlier due to the too-cool temps Memorial Day weekend, and the soup is on.  Temp 83 with a dp bopping between 74 and 75 here!  :o

    I hope mother nature will treat us to a T-storm sometime today for our suffering...

    Try no heat in the car next winter and get back to me...

     

    Myself easily, the only difference is I would need gloves which I never use while driving. The problem would be window ice/defrost.

    Try working in the yard all day with 95F+ HHH and your reward is a stuffy 100+ humid house and dinner requires a oven. Later that night try to sleep as sweat rolls down your face and the bed is drenched. The only spot to park is in the sun on a 95F+ HHH day, people are cooking hot dogs on the hood of your car and you must drive home in that vehicle. No A/C in either scenario...

    Read an article today talking about the ideal indoor temperature (thermostat setting) during the summer, saying 78F was good, and maybe up to 80 to 82 at night. Lol. Must live in Arizona. I realize that with some of the moisture taken out of the air, 78 would feel better than 92 and humid outside, but still. I'll confess to having mine set at 72 on days like today.

    Kinda funny you mention this as I was about to post this question earlier today. (If A/C was free I'd probably crank it as low as it goes!) Usually I keep it at 74-75 day and night along with strategically placed fans (wind chill). Sometimes a hour before bed I'll turn it down to 70 (to really cool things off) then back to 74-75 when I actually go to bed. That article is nuts with 80-82 at night, I sleep waaaaayyy better when cool/cold...

    SAME. I love the occasional warm, summer day, and spring storms are fun to experience but to me it's all a prelude to cooler temps. I wish I could live much farther north than I do now, but I kindof feel obligated to stay somewhat close to my parents as they are getting on in years. Maybe I'll be able to retire in cooler climes, but until then, I'll always just be enjoying or waiting for fall.

    Ditto.

    Both my parents turn 88 within the next 2 months so I feel I should stay close. But yeah, eventually I'll probably (will!) move to a colder climate. Maine always catches my eye (been there twice) and I'm not opposed to jumping ship to Canada...great scenery up there.

    F'en 80F at 10:30pm...

    I wouldn't mind, the cooloffs make the heat easier to take (knowing there's relief coming).

    Totally agree.

    A path of mid/upper 90s and humid with no end in sight really sucks..."SAD" sinks in. However I'm backassed, most people get it during Fall/Winter.

    Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons — SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year. If you're like most people with SAD, your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. Less often, SAD causes depression in the spring or early summer.

    Treatment for SAD may include light therapy (phototherapy), medications and psychotherapy.

    Don't brush off that yearly feeling as simply a case of the "winter blues" or a seasonal funk that you have to tough out on your own. Take steps to keep your mood and motivation steady throughout the year.

    Very weak thundershower today with only a couple distant rumbles. A real sucky severe season to date. 

     

    Totally agree. It seems T-storms are teasing me w/dark clouds and distant thunder then I get a brief shower/downpour and that's it....never pans out fully.

    I miss last weekend's weather...
