Rest of state not gonna see much drought relief, but daily high temperatures should at least drop  from "melt your face" to "somewhat hotter than usual for this time of year"

The real interesting heat stuff has now moved up to the High Plains. A lot of places in Nebraska, Montana, Dakotas gonna touch 100 several times over the next week.

Long-range forecasts are making it look like Houston might actually be in a for a standard, uncomfortably muggy August as opposed to the horrendous May-July we just experienced.

Today is the only day in the 15-day forecast with a temp above 95. Cloud cover and decent rain chances most days (~40%) should keep us decently below 100. 

From SpaceCityWeather:

 

Yeah, but you still have to live in Houston

Honestly I'll take 100 - 105 every day and like it IF you give me rain, too.  Don't just give me one and deprive me of the other.  Mix in some good rain and F it.

Because I’m a glutton for punishment.   To top that off, we’re finishing up our round and driving to the clubhouse and figuring out what they’re going to serve us for lunch.   Fried catfish, fries, hushpuppies, slaw.   
 

fried anything was the last thing I wanted to eat after that round.

The last couple of summers I would do a workout then sit outside in the shade for a while to catch my breath and chill for a bit pretty much ever day. This year I have done it twice.  Two fucking times because it’s fucking miserable. 

I still do this 5 days a week but do it in the morning before the afternoon heat kicks in for the day. On my prowler workout days I usually end up laying in the shade half-conscious browsing Surly.

A weekend with some light rain and steady cloud cover made for an almost-pleasant Sunday in Houston. Jumped in the pool yesterday evening and the water temp was only 87 (down from the usual 90) and there was a halfway-decent breeze. For the first time in a while, it didn't feel like hopping into a bathtub and then getting out into a steam room. 

I'm cautiously optimistic in saying that the worst of summer has passed around these parts (pending hurricane season). Pretty typical August forecast the next 2 weeks of low to mid 90's and moderate rain chances. 

Definitely have started noticing the days getting a little shorter. This will be the last full week of the year with sunsets past 8:00 pm in SETX. Currently losing a little over a minute of sunlight each day. Within a month, that will accelerate to over 2 minutes per day.

68 at night would be a godsend.

Daughter is in south-central France right now, visiting her college roommates.  They live in an old stone farmhouse.  And they have a pool.  No AC.  During the day, they get out and about, hit the pool, do what they can to stay cool.  At night, if the main house is too hot, they sleep in the basement, which generally stays in the 70s.  It's just what you gotta do.  It's a new way of living for Europe.

Not too new. In 1989, the parents of a friend of mine were staying in a 5 star on the Champs-Élysées. Typical - no AC even in a 5 star in Paris. They ended up staying in my dorm room at HEC (Hautes Études Commerciales) and I stayed with my girlfriend.

Yep.....when we've been over there, it's often been in July, and the heat has proven to be JUST frequent enough of an issue that I try to find hotels with AC.  We've only needed it a couple of times (last time we were in Berlin over the summer, they had just had a period of 95 degree temps, but by the time we got there, highs were only around 80, so windows-open in our room kept it fine all day, and certainly at night.  You just never know these days.

My best friend when I studied in France now lives in Poitier and, therefore, shouldn't be too far away. I could give him a shout, and he could be there in about 4-5 hours depending where they are exactly. Let me know in case Brisket doesn't post any.

Daughter passed through Poitier on her way down there.  One of her roommates is supercute french aristocracy.  Don't know if she'll be around, this visit, though.  I think so -- she's back from her "internship" in the Ivory Coast.

I did the same on the other side of the State, in Durango. Going to Ouray tomorrow, and the back to reality on Wednesday. Had an afternoon storm today that my kids were just playing in while all the other folks were scurrying to cover.

After a not terribly unpleasant weekend, the blastfurnace is firing back up for the next 72 hours. Just plain hot and dry, gonna feel like the depths of July again. Wednesday looks likely to be the hottest day of the remainder of 2022, with triple digits expected statewide.

"Cooler" weather with improved rain chances returns on Thursday and is expected to stick around for a while.

How many 100 degree days are we up to in Austin at this point?
