ninth consecutive day of temperatures of 80 degrees F or higher

Wut Clod said. Still, allowing for humidity and lack of air conditioning, it's ... mildly unpleasant.

ETA:

That's not a heat wave. This is a heat wave:

After an Indian Summer, the weather has finally borken.
It's been humid for the last two days (which has made me sweat like a racehorse), but today was sunny, breezy and with a drop in temperature.

In the last 20 minutes the rain has begun to pound against the window.

I'm wondering if the drop in pressure is what's making me weepy.
I haven't cried without a specific trigger for a long time now.

From the sound of things it will be wellies and leggings and a vest to walk in. Then blouse and skirt and ballet shoes inside.

Mum doesn't get that wearing a jacket or coat does not help in the rain. If you are walking a mile, you can keep your head and shoulders dry with an umbrella. But arriving steaming like a faulty kettle because of an extra layer is never going to appeal.

Still, it's evocative and safe when it's chucking it down outside, esp as I know both cats are warm and dry.

Being dry is the key, letting your own body's moisture regulate your temperature via sweating. Rain... rain I know.

This season's weather though? WTF. Yesterday was the first snowfall of the season here, at Paradise Lodge, 80 miles to the south and about 5000 feet up from my location. I celebrated this news by clipping a couple stems of new rose blossoms from my front yard. And I have a dozen buds that will open over the course of the next week. Roses in mid October? I can't keep track anymore. But they do smell wonderful.

Beautiful sunny, cool fall day here in New Jersey. This is my favorite time of year.

Trilby · 10-07-2011, 10:42 AM

It's gonna be 80 here tomorrow.

It's really nice out - blue blue skies and gold sun showing off but, honey, 80 is too damn much for me even in October.

SamIam · 10-07-2011, 10:44 AM

We actually had snow here in town yesterday. It NEVER snows so early around here! Then we had a cold snap last night. I have (had) two huge tubs of flowers by my front door that I didn't think to cover. So much for them.

My cats took one look at the weather yesterday and haven't been outside since.

TheMercenary · 10-07-2011, 02:05 PM

80's here in the day, lows in the low 60's. The weather is freaking beautiful.

Gravdigr · 10-07-2011, 03:54 PM

80s last couple of days, with lows in the high 40s/low 50s.

It's been pretty damn nice around South Central lately.

ETA: A bit dry, though. We'll be breaking the law if'n we have a fire tonight.

Lamplighter · 10-07-2011, 04:24 PM

PDX has one of those dreary, damp days in between summer and the rainy season...

That doesn't start until Nov 15th at 2:45 am

HungLikeJesus · 10-08-2011, 09:45 AM

Last night I was out on motorcycle. Today we have a few inches of snow.

BrilliantDisguise · 10-08-2011, 10:41 AM

Gorgeous day here today. Currently 69, blue skies, slight breeze. Perfect!

glatt · 10-08-2011, 10:58 AM

Here too. Spectacular.

So why are we on the computer?
