Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005Yes, yes, yes!
After about three weeks of nonstop highs in the 90s and several days in the 100s, it looks like we may get a break from this record-breaking weather. There's a bit of cloud cover and I've heard some thunder grumbling. Around noon, the thermometer read over 100, but now it's actually displaying ... in the 80s! This weather has really made me grumpy, though I shouldn't complain -- at least we have A/C in the house. I can't express in words how much I would love some cooler weather.

Hugs, CatNipped Not impressed w/the dark skies/thunder as I've been looking @ that for about a week now from upper-floor Capitol Hill, with no results. BUT: *am* impressed w/your 80's thermom readings!!! And if you think *you're* grumpy, pic the Hopitus w/no a/c and the Deadly Duo laid out prostrate on hardwood floors as if they really were "dead"...I have to carry them to water bowls and stick their noses in it to make sure they drink! I'm drinking gallons of iced tea/CrystalLite and wondering why I ever moved here a year ago (no, it was the grandbaby and that's what keeps me here). Whatever condo I buy *will* have a/c, believe it.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > me here). Whatever condo I buy *will* have a/c, believe it. (tongue hanging > out like a d-pet)...... We've been doing pretty well here in southern CA. It's been hot (up to 106 the last few days) but the swamp cooler has been doing a good job keeping it cool. Today, though, is a different story. It's VERY humid here - I'd guess 90 to 95%. That means that swamp coolers don't do any good. I'm sitting here melting, while the kitties are all imitating fur rugs on the linoleum. I am SO very ready for the humidity to go away! > > Not impressed w/the dark skies/thunder as I've been looking @ that for about > > a week now from upper-floor Capitol Hill, with no results.

What's a swamp cooler? Hugs, CatNipped >> We've been doing pretty well here in southern CA.

Think a big fan which blows air through mats kept wet by a small pump. As Dan said, they do a food jop cooling a house in hot dry climates - but are pretty much useless when the humidity is high. All we had growing up was a swamp cooler, which are prefectly suited for Bakersfield California's hot dry summers.

If you are too poor to afford AC and can't provide a comfortable environment for your cats, you shouldn't own them. Charlie > >We've been doing pretty well here in southern CA.

Yes it is the humidity that makes it feel so uncomfortable. Here in Canada, the humidex, if any, is always reported along with the temperature. The humidex has been over 100F for some time, very unusual for Ontario. Once the humidity is lowered, we feel a lot more comfortable. You really needs an AC to deal with humid heat. I thought of getting a dehumidifer as well. Winnie >> Not impressed w/the dark skies/thunder as I've been looking @ that for >> about a week now from upper-floor Capitol Hill, with no results.

Sounds like time to go sit in a tub of cool water, and read. Change water as it gets warm. 102 here but with 17% humidity a lot of trees and refusing to leave the house it isn't too bad. If it doesn't cool down before we run out of food I guess we will have to shop in the middle of the night like everyone else.

I can't express in words how much > I would love some cooler weather. I know what you mean. After countless severe heat alerts, smog alerts, and warnings to conserve electricity, we are finally in a bit of cool spell, below 30C (86F). I can turn off the AC with little discomfort. I still dread to see my hydro bill, which just came down after the winter.

Yeah, we're supposed to have your weather by Monday + our normal 90+% humidity. I think we're going to suffer a lot.

I can't express in words how much > I would love some cooler weather. You are not alone, my friend. It has been absolutely brutal. Today in Chicagoland, the temps are expected to reach 103 and with the heat index, it will feel like 115!!!!!!!!!! I almost fell over when I saw the 115...even though that isn't the actual temperature!!! Hang in there! :) Pam > You are not alone, my friend. It has been absolutely brutal.

Looks like we're back to the low 90s for highs ... gee, how cool ... *sigh* Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |
