The 4 seasons here in Palm Springs are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!
We have officially reached the ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!? phase.
It was 104º today. The forecast is calling for it to get progressively uglier all week culminating at 111º on Saturday.
This is it folks until approximately Halloween when it traditionally cools down. With any luck however we should be moving from this god-forsaken sand trap by summer's end and maybe much sooner than that.
Hey Mike Pipes...you melting yet?

I pretty much agree with you there Karen...when it's cold you can put something on, when it's hot there's only so much you can take off! hahahaha

I hate heat. Anything over 70º and I get uncomfortable. The best thing about WV is the weather - four distinct, moderate seasons. Last year we didn't have a single day over 90º, yet we never had more than 6" of snow fall at once. The only place I've been with nicer weather is Carmel, CA. But even there, you've got to stay near the coast to enjoy the yearlong moderate temps. (Not to mention the fact that 'normal' people can't afford to live there.)

Yup, Carmel is fabulous. You can't touch a house there for under $1MM. My husband's company wanted to transfer him to Monterey (right next to Carmel) and we had to politely say thanks but no thanks. I looked at houses in the $350K range and the only thing I found was a 1200sq ft MOBILE HOME about an hour away. NO THANKS.

We went from the bleakest winter of my existence to 3 days of sunshine to continual rain & thunderstorms. The weather has really changed in my 41 years on Earth. We used to have 4 seasons, but things just aren't what they used to be! Must be all those 1-Shot fumes I'm putting into the environment. Love...Jill

Melting? It only hit 108 here today - no sweat! relatively speaking, of course. When I'm cussing 122 degrees and 40% humidity in August I'll be wishing it were only 108.
I like the weather here. It's only 3 months of hell (July, August, September) and the rest of the year is just varying degrees of absolutely perfect.
We have constant breezes here that make the heat more tolerable. The lake is nice and cool too. Also, if the heat is too much to take we can catch a break by driving about an hour out of town and the temp will be 20 degrees cooler.

Yeah, my father lived in Santa Cruz overlooking the ocean up until his death a year ago. It's beautiful all along the coast there, but real estate is crazy expensive.

We have had unusual amounts of constant rain for weeks now. We've only mowed the lawn twice since winter. Everything is green and growing slowly, but with no heat, nothing is moving very fast. This grey weather is getting very depressing, but I hear the weekend is down to only 30 percent chance of rain, so we may see the sun peek out every now and then!

It's been tornado alley here with more rain forecasted for the next 3 days. The river that runs through our town is in the flood stage and is overflowing its banks. Despite that -- this is one of the best times of year. No bugs and perfect temperatures. Cool evenings, no airco needed, but when the sirens blow it's time to get to the basement, wait it out and assess the damage when it blows over.
Kimberly -- I saw the "Day After Tomorrow!" I suggest you avoid that movie if you're worried about global warming.

It was real nice in the low 80's for the last few weeks, but that's about to change, like yesterday it will be close to 97 today, then we will start hitting the 100's, HOT but nothing like good ole Palm Springs. Hope you get your wish for the transfer...

Just goes to show how relative weather is..
Rick's gotta turn the AC on if it gets up to 80 in his house while at my place the AC is set on 83 or 84 most of the time. When I get in from exercising or being at the beach all day it gets put on 80 to really cool me off. Any cooler than that and it's starting to get too chilly for my tastes! All the ceiling fans in the house are on constantly though so the moving air cools things down a bit more.
pushing 110 today, 112 by the weekend... 83 in the house really does feel good compared to that!

Very similar to Bill Diaz without the tornados. The river here has risen 9 inches in the last two days though. Good thing were about 30 feet above the river.
For those of you interested, check out this link for our river from the U.S. Geological Survey crew:

You wouldn't like it here then. 80º is miserably uncomfortable for me.
