Heat Wave..........

[Hound dog]

Last mini heat wave had us at 97 degrees.......and I refused to look at the heat index because IMO it only makes a person feel hotter. I survived it without AC......but it was miserable, especially on Molly and Maggie.

This heatwave is due to last about 10 days. Now when I looked at the forecast yesterday it said today was going to be like 94 degrees. That was bad enough. This morning they switched it to 101 degrees and that is without the heat index. WTH? So far the rest of the week is like mid-upper 90's.......but after the quick forecast change.....not so sure I believe them.

This is OHIO folks.

Now my poor mom will be seeing at least 103 degrees tomorrow as will a friend of mine in chicago, last I heard.

Yesterday it was like 77 degrees and got cold last night.....I had all the blankets back on the bed. omg

It is winter went away and someone turned on the weird weather switch. This is our 3rd heat wave already.

I'm NOT grinning and dealing with it with no AC. I can't. I don't know where the money will come from to pay the bill.........but yeah. I asked pc to have SIL stop over on his way to work to put in my window units. I'm gonna have to svck it up and deal. (I don't even LIKE AC)

I'm going to set up the extra large dog crate for Mr Rowdy for tomorrow so he can come inside during the worst of the heat. Not sure where I'm gonna put it yet.......but he can't stay out with his super thick double layer coat in 101 degrees even in total shade.

I know there is a large area going to be affected by this wave as well. My trip to visit my mom was cancelled and we've no clue when we'll be able to reschedule. She doesn't want us driving in such heat for 8 hrs, or stuck along the highway in it due to the car overheating or something.

We haven't had rain in a while. Dayton area obviously has had very little rain.......everything is so dry. Saw that last weekend. We've gotten more than they have.

So what is your forecast? And please, those in the heat wave drink plenty of water, check on outside pets and make sure they have plenty of shade and water.....bring them inside if you can.......and be careful.

I'm in the Chicago area so we are forecast for around 100 for tomorrow I like the summer and warm weather but this is too much for me. Today is supposed to get up to 90 so I'll be turning the a/c on. Like you, we hate running the a/c but we do it when it gets this darn hot.

I hope you and the furkids stay cool!

Send some heat my way, pleaaaase! I love hot weather but all we've had this June is low and mid seventies. Seventies is COLD in my opinion. If there's even the slightest breeze then I get cold and I need to wear a sweater. I would love it if it hit nineties here. Unfortunately no heat wave is predicted any time soon. Ten day forecast says it's supposed to stay in the seventies. Low seventies at that. I'm bummed. Next week starts our summer vacation and I wish it was hotter out so I could actually lay out in the sun at the pool and not get cold. Of course it doesn't matter to the kids one way or another. They're happy to go swimming when it's in the sixties. I just wish it would at least hit eighty over here. You're lucky. I would trade places with you in a heart beat.

CB, I'll trade ya'. We are slated to be mid 90s today and tomorrow with VERY high humidity here too. For the next week, it's supposed to be "above average", whatever that means. I already have my AC running since we are already mid 80's with 70% humidity and both are climbing.

Please, everyone in this "stuff" (don't want to get censored), take care and be safe.

[Californiablonde]

Tedo I would so gladly trade you. ON July 4th it's supposed to be a high of seventy two! That's sweater weather to me. I will gladly take the humidity and heat over cold weather in July. I envy you ladies.

CB... Try being almost 5.5 months preggers in 101 degrees... Working in an office on an airfield (completely CONCRETE)...

[Californiablonde]

Yeah when I was pregnant that was the only time I hated heat. With gfg1 I was nine months pregnant in December and slept with the fan on. I could never get cool enough. With gfg2 it was worse. I was in my third trimester all summer long and it was the hottest summer we had in years, and the humidity was terrible. I was miserable. By the time I had him in October, there was still a huge heat wave going on and the poor baby would be dripping sweat with just a diaper on. So I get ya there. Heat and pregancy don't go well together. I hope you can manage to stay comfortable.

It's supposed to be over 100 degrees herefor the next three or four days!

[StepTo2]

Interestingly... I was born in west Texas. 110 is nothing. But... 95 with the humidity we have here is horrid. And the heat doesn't bug me unless I have to sit still in it. But still, 25+ weeks along and sweating...

It's supposed to be 86 for us today, 100 tomorrow, and upper 90's rest of the week/weekend.
