What's the weather like where you are? (10)

[musicalpilgrim]

With my wife and I not getting any younger; handling temps over 90 F; can be problematical. Our AC can usually knock off 20 degrees or so off the outside temp; so for 93F like we had a couple weeks ago; we were able to get it down to 73F; which is about as hot as we like it. So if we get 102 Saturday; like was forecast; it could be around 82F inside. Not good.

And here in the Cascades; we are in a small valley surrounded by hills of about 1500-2000 feet; and the temp can be 2-5 degrees higher because the wind is not as strong.

Does anyone have any tips on staying cool; or foods to eat that cools you off?

Prayers would be appreciated.

I pray for some cool weather for you. I found that putting your feet in cold water is good. A bowl will do.
Our heat wave has come to an end and we have cooling rain. Bliss.
Looking forward to Autumn, this summer has been so hot.

Well it could be raining or sunny. I am at the hospital with my husband who was poorly today.
No windows, so it will be a while before they finish the tests and I can go home.
Snow?

Looks like nice weather for Manchester:

We have our own weather system, quite different from Manchester at times. It is a town called Dukinfield, a few miles can make all the difference in these hills.

For the past week we have had hot sticky weather, but as per normal around here it is usually followed by fog, which we have and as I love foggy weather it pleases me.

 

[musicalpilgrim]

Our warm sticky weather has gone now and it is quite pleasent. A warm breeze as well but no rain today. It could rain overnight.

Hot and clear forecasted for today and this week until Sunday; then we are to get some smoke from one of the many forest fires blazing out here in the PNW:

Not good for those with allergies to all kinds of smoke...like me, my wife, sister, several friends and about half of the people I know. Seems like there are a lot of people that have allergies around here; or is it a modern thing; with all the environmental air pollution; in doors and out?

Yes, i heard about the fires, i have been praying for protection for you. We had fires last summer over the moors on the hills nearby but thankfully not this summer.

Some bright red's emerging on a few precocious maples in this area. However the foliage is overwhemingly green. In the last several days temperatures have fallen rather dramatically and we have frequent rains.
