Funny how we wish for cooler weather when it's hot..and warmer weather when it's cold. :-))

Oh I cant wait for summer so I can plant flowers!

Ohhhhhhh where is winter when I need it?

LOL!!!!!!!

Frogus punishing hot here all day in the 80's right now it's still 81 seems like I have your temp and you got mine Well if thats so I want mine back this is just to hot to work in, Ernie

We spent the last two days in the yard digging. Gonna be sore tomorrow. The cool weather is noce for that I will say. Could you send the sun back on Monday please?

My DH says, "THEY" say: gloomy through Friday, frogs... new transplants are maybe not losing so much to transpiration, but my berries, grapes, and figs would like some direct sun to ripen, thank you.

~'spin!~

Hmmm...there's gotta be a happy medium somewhere in this country. My gardens froze the night of the 17th, and you all are into the 100's! Send some heat up here please. :)

Got all the way up to 72 today. Haven't seen the sun for 3 days and don't expect it tomorrow either. We won't have a drop of rain until November. Isn't life great

Last year in France (south of Poitiers) where my holiday home is (on top of a small hill), towards the end of July the thermometer went off the scale that ends at 49*C (~120*F) and it proceeded to get hotter for another hour or so.

Evenings (say midnight) were typically 35*C plus...

You may remember that thousands of people died of the heat...

Lovely here in PA this morning..Feels like fall...52..It is to get into the 80s today and I guess the heat will build back in over the week...Really nice to work out when it is so cool......

The past week has been really nice here. The mornings start out cloudy then they clouds burn off and it gets up to 75 to 80 in the afternoon. The garden is going great guns. The serious hot weather usually comes to stay in July and hangs around through October.

No such thing as too hot!

oh, Syvi, bite your tongue. After it gets to a hundred and teens for three weeks running, it's too hot.
those temps used to last only about a week and then the summer thunderstorms would break the heat's back. The last few summers the tunnerstorms never showed up and we started praying for just a few clouds, please.

CENEMIKE, I remember that. I also read that France is getting ready in case there is another episode of extreme heat this year; they were caught unprepared last year. Was there any explanation for the heat? The waters around Florida are already heating up, and we have had a VERY hot May and June. "They" say it's making up for a bad hurricane year.

Well, okay. I definitly agree that when lives are endangered it is too hot. I didn't mean to seem flippant about other people's real concerns. It's just that it seems to take so long for Michigan to finally get warm for the summer, and then fall comes so fast!

I know, syvi, I used to live in the Adirondack mtns of upstate New York and our summers were like that. 80 was hot. and fall came so early I finally left the winters behind - so Im not complaining... well, not muchchch lol

Trouble is, my French isn't good enough to read complicated articles about the cause of the heat.

Wouldn't be surprised if it had to do with some wind from the Sahara Desert... doubtless in turn caused by global warming...

It turned out that most of the people who died were old people in the big cities who got respiratory failure from continuous temperatures above blood heat. (I think that was it, anyway...)

As we don't have a bath, only showers there, I just filled the large paddling pool with cold water and lay in it until it warmed up... then I refilled it! At those temperatures, you get nasty feelings of bloatedness all over your body.

Just got home from work still 82.5 grrr Ernie
