It seems like it was 100 a couple weeks ago, then it dropped to 70, then right into 50s and 60s.

October was backwards, started off cooler than usual for the 1st half and ended up warmer than usual in the 2nd half

It does seem like the temperatures dropped really fast. Last year at this time was a lot warmer and right now it feels like December weather. Long-range forecast doesn't look like we'll have much of a warm-up either.

We got invited to my cousin's wedding in Chicago. On January 5th. Won't be going to that. It's not so much the cold but the chance of getting stuck there from a blizzard.

changed my filters and turned on the a/c this morning.

Las Vegas Valley hits 96, ties record high for April 25 4-25-2019

Thursday was the warmest day of the year so far in the Las Vegas Valley, tying a daily high temperature record set more than 70 years ago, according to the National Weather Service.

Temperatures peaked at 96 degrees just after 3 p.m. Thursday, tying the record high for April 25 set in 1946, meteorologist Chris Outler said.

“These are well above normal temperatures,” meteorologist Barry Pierce said Thursday morning of the predicted high of 95 for Thursday.

Friday has a forecast high of 95, just two degrees shy of the record daily high, set in 1996.

“We’ll be pretty close,” Outler said. “It’s definitely possible we could touch up to 97.”

Saturday and Sunday will see clear and sunny skies with highs of 94 and 90 degrees, respectively.

Low temperatures are expected to be 70 on Thursday and Friday night, before dropping to 68 on Saturday night, 66 on Sunday night and 59 on Monday night, Outler said.

By Monday, the valley will experience about a 10-degree drop with a high of 81, and a 30 percent chance for showers, Outler said.

Tuesday will be sunny again with a high of 81.

I finally caved and turned on my A/C last night. Fortunately it'll go back down to near normal next week.

Haha wow you are brave, just turned on AC now?! Dang dude lol. That's crazy it was a record high, I was thinking that seems way hotter than normal for April. I thought it was usually in the 80s in April, not upper 90s!

My AC goes on about the second it touches 70 degrees and sunny, the sun warms the house too much so the indoor temperature will easily hit 80 degrees if it's anywhere near 70. I've even had it hit 82 inside when it was 70 outside just from the sun.

I just turned mine on yesterday evening. Got home and it was 89 inside upstairs! It's on now and tomorrow, until it goes back to 80 for the high on Monday they are predicting.

My house stays cool until the temps really rise like now. So this was the first time this season that it got warm inside.
