Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005Record high
Yesterday we hit a record high for the day: 104F (40C). We haven't had rain in 5 weeks. It's brutal.  SignatureVictor M.

I was riding my bike and the rain was evaporating as soon as it hit the pavement. Hugs, CatNipped > Yesterday we hit a record high for the day: 104F (40C). We haven't had > rain in 5 weeks. It's brutal. Hot! it's 28C here today which must be considered hot for Sweden - but since I'm up north at my parents' it's still green and everything so it's still kind of fresh compared to Real Hot ... I'll puff some fresh air your way, ready? there - take a deep breth! =) Signaturelewe lewemi at yahoo dot se | cats' pics: photos.yahoo.com/lewemi >> Yesterday we hit a record high for the day: 104F (40C).

The sun is so direct this time of year and you don't really have the means to get cool. Jo >>Yesterday we hit a record high for the day: 104F (40C). We haven't had >>rain in 5 weeks. It's brutal.

My parents are at our Swedish cottage in Jämtland, near the village of Skyttmon (www.skyttmon.se), and they said they had 27C there at 10 in the morning, together with millions of mosquitos... Taking a deep breath there, at least outside, will have you swallow at least a few of the mosquitos.

Aargh, it used to be like that when I lived in Yellowknife (Canadian arctic). You'd put up with the horrible cold and lack of daylight all winter, looking forward to the summer, only to be innundated with mosquitos and other nasties in the summer! -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > Yesterday we hit a record high for the day: 104F (40C). We haven't had > rain in 5 weeks. It's brutal. Tucson hit 109 degrees F. yesterday, relative humidity 6 or 7 percent, dewpoint around 30 degrees F. It tied the record for the date. Our last rain was mid-June (rain is relatively rare in June here). We are longing for the monsoon (yes, it's called that, and the direction of the wind changes) and the rain it brings. On the other hand: such dry weather makes evaporative coolers work beautifully, and they put some helpful moisture in the air. Of course, as the humidity rises, the effectiveness of the cooler drops dramatically. Then it's time to turn on the A/C! David >> Yesterday we hit a record high for the day: 104F (40C).

Good lord, the skin on my back just cracked and my nose started bleeding just from reading that. After 4 years in Thailand where it's always over 80% humidity, I can't even handle how dry my hometown of Vancouver, BC is. And nobody has ever claimed that Vancouver is dry! -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album >>> Yesterday we hit a record high for the day: 104F (40C).

With the humidity that low, forget and go to sleep with the ceiling fan running. You wake up with your mouth so dry you would think you;d been in a sandstorm. But it is more comfortable if you have to be too warm, not to be dripping with sweat. Jo > Yesterday we hit a record high for the day: 104F (40C). We haven't had > rain in 5 weeks. It's brutal. I just can't imagine it. I think I would die in that sort of heat. It is 20 something here in the daytime (70 plus a little) and 10 at night, 50ish. Suits me just fine. Rain yesterday, quite a lot actually, and a few showers today as well. Swap you just one week to see what it's like. No, make that a day ;-) Tweed cool and comfortable in a room at 68f >> Yesterday we hit a record high for the day: 104F (40C). We haven't had >> rain in 5 weeks. It's brutal. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >showers today as well. >Swap you just one week to see what it's like. No, make that a day ;-) Ah, but the idea of swapping would never work. You see you need to get there before the heat starts, and let your body get used to the heat as it builds. That was our problem when I was stationed at Ft Ord, near Carmel on the Monteray Bay of California. We could NEVER get used to the weather. We were freezing when it was foggy and damp in the morning, then burning up when the fog burned off and the sun came out. The temperatures were never extreme, but it sure felt like it.

That area will drive you crazy. The weather can change dramatically if you drive a mile. Still love it though. We are overdue for a visit. Jo >> Ah, but the idea of swapping would never work.

The water is too cold for swimming, but you're not that far from nice beaches where you can swim. Beautiful areas to drive through, down south through Big Sur along the coast highway. Lovely farm country, not far from wine country, and if you feel like a weekend in the big city San Francisco or LA are just a few hours away. Course, for golfers, world class courses on the peninsula.

That is a beautiful part of the world, though. Years ago, the ex and I drove from Seattle to LA. along the coast. Just glorious.

I used to live in San Francisco. Love it there, even with the fog. Here in Ontario, we range from -30C in the winter to 30+ C in the summer. Much more extreme. Winnie > Yesterday we hit a record high for the day: 104F (40C). We haven't had > rain in 5 weeks. It's brutal. I guess I should consider myself lucky, here in Norway, we just passed max of 86º F (30º C). Some afternoons we even get some rain showers, maybe accompanied by thunder... Most Norwegians don't like temperatures higher than the one mentioned... My personal favorite is somewhere between 73º F (23º C) and 81º F (27º C). If it gets above that, I start looking for shade...

If > it gets above that, I start looking for shade... > Hans I had some Swedish relatives asking about visiting Texas this summer. I told them any time but July or August would be O.K. We moved here from the Northwest U.S. in July of 1994. I thought I would melt. Now it's not so bad, but this year, with temperatures topping 100 degrees F (37 C), and predicted to go as high as 110 F in some places (43 C), I'm glad they didn't come here this year. Annie > Yesterday we hit a record high for the day: 104F (40C). We haven't had > rain in 5 weeks. It's brutal. Ugh, I feel for you, Victor. That *is* brutal. It's like that here in April and May. So glad that season's over! I hope it cools down soon for you. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album That's terrible, Victor! We are having a very cold begging of July after a quite hot June.

Victor ========================================= Our high Friday was a bit below 70f, lots of rain (thanks Cindy), flooding in some areas. Suz&Spicey |
