95 D, dp 71, heat index 102. Highest yet for the year so far (heat index.)

But some storms are starting to build. Keeping my fingers crossed we get nailed by a good one.

Yeah, can't wait for all the heat and dry weather and the inevitable forest fires that come with it.

What a great experience this heat wave is going to be.

Just nuts...


here's Columbia, SC temps this month. At 93° right now. Is this survivable!? LOL JK guys but I never want to experience this in June, ever.

16 days 90+ is more than anywhere in Florida.

Greensboro 11 days
Raleigh 13 days

Still without power in my area. I slept ( okay) in the basement last night. Also without cell service. My dad had gone to Delaware, and power is not affected, so that's where I am now. Will charge my phone and spend some time in establishments with air conditioning.

That was a very violent storm. Trees downed. Everything is a mess. Honestly looks worse than it did after Hurricane Sandy.

What worries me is that the "heat peak" of summer is still over a month away. Does this mean that the worst is yet to come? Or is this just a front-loaded summer, and we'll be able to bask in normal to below-normal conditions all the way to October once this heat wave breaks?

I need to decide soon about pulling the trigger for an extended sojourn in CNY.

The thing is, the last 2 summers, I don't remember *anything* this bad - especially last year.

Lows are forecasted to be above 20°C this weekend

Pretty rare for this area

You better get ready for a very cool summer. Only one day above 80F on your ten day GFS forecast. Meanwhile London will skyrocket past you in temps along with all of Western Europe. You shouldn't have bragged all winter about how much you loved and wanted more cold. You did this last year and didn't learn your lesson. Until you come around to love and enjoy mild winters, I've cursed your summers to be cool.
