Plain and simple, this week may feel the worst of any week for this summer in the Northeast and parts of the Midwest. The region will be a virtual sauna bath.

Just don't bail the water into my backyard.

On second thought, go ahead, I'd likely not notice. :-)

[Resolute Conservative]

Odd isn’t it in that we are supposed to be warming.

If the usurper truly cared for his hometown that he never visits, he’d sign an EO to ban July.

[Black Agnes]

Yup. Even if you have a/c, if you leave your house between early May and late September, every single day is a bad hair/makeup day. That’s just a given in the deep south.

Temps in the mid 90’s OMG! How are you folks going to survive? High humidity? OH NO you might as well be in Texas sob!////// snort)))):)

I actually meant bale, as in hay bales. Spell check won’t catch that and autocorrect will change it to bail.

This global warming is very concerning. Heck, just a few months ago it was so cold that I had to run my furnace! Now it is so hot that I have to run my AC! At this pace, we will burst into flames in just a few short months.

LOL The stench will be overwhelming!

Hi Slings and Arrows, is there a kitty version of the doggie by fan? :)=^..^=

[P.O.E.]

Right now Toronto feels like Atlanta in May

Is that like the "real feel" city?

It was in the 70s yesterday here in Houston.

Southern Wisconsin weighing in: I’ll take this temporary heat - we needed to dry out, too! 12” of rain BEYOND what was normal for June this season; it was brutal!

Was in Wisconsin in mid-June for our son's wedding in Oostburg (north of Milwaukee, just south of Sheboygan) and I noticed all the fields that still hadn't been planted yet because they were too wet. That included our daughter-in-law's grandfather's field that normally was planted by then with corn and it lay fallow due to being too wet to plow.

Um, it’s summer. And I know I have tinfoil on my head, but I’m questioning the timing of the proposed water cut-off (which was remedied easily). People hot, without water, during riot season?

[kabumpo]

I don’t recall a heatwave in NY that ever lasted this long with temperatures this high.

Check Joe Bastardi’s twitter feed. This weather is much like the 1950’s. And it was even warmer in the 1930’s.
