How's the weather

Sassy · June 21, 2008, 04:33:59 PM

98 degrees here... supposed to be low 90's for rest of week - hopefully

Sassy · June 21, 2008, 05:24:07 PM

just looked outside - it is suddenly overcast, windy & temp down to 94... maybe we'll get a thunderstorm - would be nice to get some rain again

June 21, 2008, 06:03:57 PM

dropped 12 degrees within the hour to 86 - lots of thunder & wind, no rain yet....

desdawg · June 21, 2008, 10:07:04 PM

send some my way Sassy

glenn kangiser · June 22, 2008, 12:26:59 AM

I've been where you are, desdawg. Way too hot for me.

June 23, 2008, 03:00:42 PM

It's only 84 degrees at 1pm - very unusual for this time of year. The thunderstorm caused several fires here & there's 100's throughout California. Yesterday it only got up to 91. I'm not complaining, I love it - the cooler weather, that is, not the fires...

Another soggy wet day here in the Oklahoma rain forest. Sun is out now and it feels like a suna.

desdawg · June 25, 2008, 06:22:21 PM

108 in the shade and no shade in sight. The AZ desert is a great place in the wintertime when most others are dealing with snow and freezing weather. Right about now we wonder why we are here. Northern AZ would be great now if I could disentangle myself from my responsibilities and just go there and stay for a while. My mind would enjoy it as well as my body.

It could be worse, des. It could be 110 and raining there -- I have fond memories of Tucson.

June 26, 2008, 02:01:51 PM

Little cold front coming through the desert
Today: Partly cloudy. High 103F. Winds SSW at 10 to 15 mph.
Tonight: Mainly clear. Low 74F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow: Mainly sunny. High 107F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow night: Clear skies. Low 74F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.

Sunday: Mostly sunny. Highs 110 to 114F and lows in the upper 70s.

Then in the mountains where I would prefer to be:

Tonight: Generally clear. Low 49F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow: A mainly sunny sky. High 92F. Winds SSW at 10 to 20 mph.

Monday: Plenty of sun. Highs in the mid 90s and lows in the low 50s
Still getting into the 90's there but way better when it can cool down at night.

Here in the high desert (5500 feet) today...
currently 91, partly cloudy
overnight low in mid 60's
forecast for the next couple days, 92 - 94
then cloudy, high 80's low 90's with 30% chance of rain

The Mountains (8800 feet and 36 miles north) where we'll be back about Sunday or so...
currently 78 and partly cloudy
overnight low probably low to mid 50's

the mountains usually run 15 - 20 degrees cooler and cool off faster than here

desdawg · June 28, 2008, 06:09:12 PM

Your desert is cooler than mine Don. We are back to 107 for a high today. 92 up north where I would like to be.

MountainDon · June 28, 2008, 09:42:20 PM

I believe the key there is the altitude. The driveway here is a tad under 5500 feet.

Redoverfarm · July 03, 2008, 05:54:00 AM

It seems to get anything done here it has to be in the AM hours for hard work. For the past couple of days sunrise was at 43-46F then by afternoon it was in the early 80's. Almost 40 degree change in 6 hours.

July 03, 2008, 08:44:53 AM

Fires are getting better around here - not so much smoke... 1459 fires in California now.

Sassy · July 06, 2008, 11:37:22 AM

Two days ago the temp was in the 70's, today it's supposed to get to 97, by Thursday, 107

ScottA · July 08, 2008, 01:28:46 PM

Hot humid and yuck here. We had rain this morning but now it's just steamy hot.

glenn kangiser · July 08, 2008, 03:12:08 PM

106 with smoke today and muggy.

desdawg · July 11, 2008, 08:49:15 AM

I got up this morning and the AC wasn't running. It rained last night and cooled things off. I guess the desert monsoon season has arrived.

glenn kangiser · July 11, 2008, 09:45:22 AM

Cooling down to 103 today with a cold snap of 98 coming tomorrow.

July 13, 2008, 04:24:47 PM

Not bad today in mid 70's. Slight rain shower. Here is what I have to look forward to the rest of the week.

glenn kangiser · July 13, 2008, 04:42:14 PM

A chilly 94 today with a near frosty 64 coming in tonight. Brrrrrr.

considerations · July 14, 2008, 11:32:03 AM

I cannot do that kind of heat. I'm running for cover at 80F. It would t ake a period of acclimating I'm sure. I lived in the LA area for about 3 years, and when I came back to Oregon, 'bout froze to death.

That being said, after 30+ consecutive years in the NW I would not willingly go back to that kind of heat.

High today will be about 65F High over cast. Great working weather for me!

glenn kangiser · July 14, 2008, 08:00:46 PM

...but depressing for me.

It's a dry heat --- yeah right. It does sap your energy. I always look forward to finishing what I am doing and jumping into the truck and turning on the A/C.

To explain the weather here today, I really wanted to take a picture, but I missed the Kodak moment by a few seconds. When I got the camera all ready, Grover stood up and came to the back door to greet me, all dripping wet. Seconds before, he'd been laying sprawled out in the girls' wading pool with his head hanging back over the side... all he needed was sunglasses for it to be the perfect greeting card shot. His black fur absorbs the heat like crazy, and so he spent most of the day lounging around in the pool, which he loves. It was really hot and sticky, to say the least.
