We're suppose to get some much needed rain by the middle of this week. Thanks for sending it down.

(Actually, our rain comes up from the gulf.)

I think it topped out at 88 today.

No! I mean usually it does but this time the river banks are overflowing and I used my special powers to send it down to you. You know there were a lot of witches out of Salem Mass. that probably came up here with the rest of them. Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Hey Girl......Pleeez send some out to us. We are sooo desperate for rain.!!! Actually the 96 we had wasn't bad at all. We had a nice breeze and the humidity was low enough so it was pretty nice. Suppose to cool off by the weekend into the 70's. Boy, we are having the strangest weather!!!! The big worry is fires out here. Poor Georgia is having a time with that right
now

On second thought NCG, maybe send it to them......no wind, just rain to help out the firefighters

I will do my best. I have to go find a toad

It was sunny and in the 60's today. I thank you all very much. It's supposed to rain again tonight so I'll try to steer it that way. If I can find two toads I'll send you some too

Heeyy! I know know what a swamp cooler is. I am currently living in a desert region. Simple contraption, but about as usefull as a floating anker(sp) or a screen door on a submarine. Problem is the water sits on the bottom of the cooler,touching the metal and warms up. So when it is too hot or humid outside(when need it the most) they DON'T WORK

I moved to Memphis from southern Maine five years ago. I have acclimated to the hot weather. The 90s don't bother me as much as it did when I first moved here. We're having a much cooler spring than last year. Just this week we have settled into the 90s and there's no looking back to the 80s for months now. The humidity has been low this spring. It showed up only last week.

I'm going to Maine on Wednesday for two weeks. I am going to be so cold. I have to pull out my long sleeve tops and pants for this trip. Oh, yeah, and fleeces for nighttime. I've been wearing shorts for two months now. Oh, well. Can hardly wait, though.

Last week was extremely hot in Kingsport. One day I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both walking.

What a hilarious mental image that conjures up!

I just spent 6 days in Nashville and the temperatures were in the upper 90's most of the time. Tennesseans are right. It is hotter. Although we have temperatures in the 90's as well, for some reason it feels hotter in Tennessee. It feels like the sun is closer to you. You can actually feel the intense heat on your skin. However after a couple of days I seemed to get used to it. If July and August in Tennessee are no worse than that I will have no problem. I have allergies and usually the humidity bothers me, but in Nashville for some reason I was not bothered and could actualy breathe better. I don't know what the difference is, except maybe a difference in vegatation.
