Love when people wander into the "thread exclusively devoted to complaining about the hot weather" and are shocked to discover there are complaints about the hot weather.

[ztejas 43,415]

Yep. It's hot outside.

Yes. It’s a million times better than two weeks ago. I’ll take every small victory I can.

100-115 is hot. This isn’t great but certainly not bad enough to get bent out of shape over. 

[Storm the Field 5,294]

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2,937]

The heat index is only 102 today.

[4th&Five 41,520]

Yeah, what’s to complain about? It’s just a little historic heat and drought. 

[YGIFS 19,449]

I think most of us are over complaining about being in the cusp of end of humanity heat and draught.  Some of us adults who take care of their own flora and trees and garden are still worried sick about this means going forward.  Sure 95 is better than 105.  But nature here cannot do this 4+ months of this shit year in and year out.  

[MissingInAction 25,025]

Centext will be a savanna in 10 years.

[mchookem 16,325]

gotdamn y'all are still in triple digit heat indexes??

Texas has experience in this sort of thing.

My bad. By out here I meant California.  It’s like 62 in morning.  Need windbreaker for morning run

[HenryJames 66,038]

Humidity is back.

[closetohumping 17,437]

730 and Houston’s heat index is 86.  Glad for you guys that it’s not 100 but still sucks

[HOOKEM4 5,036]

The AC is out at work for the third time this year. These new fangled energy efficient systems are garbage.

I know what you meant you fucker. 

[Bookman 4,638]

Maybe we should start building giant domes over our cities to control the air temperature.

[Storm the Field 5,294]

Not hating the extended forecast after Sunday, but would sure like to start seeing some 8's and 6's instead of strictly 9's and 7's. 

[kevwun 15,770]

With the cool down starting on Monday, I am betting Sunday will be the last nasty high temp day of the year. 

[texasdago 7,570]

I'm betting you're wrong... but don't take it personally... anyone who wrote that would get the same derision.

"I think we're done with hundreds y'all!?"

In case anyone is wondering if it’s still too hot to hike, yes it is. Went out to pedernales and it was ok until about 10 and then it was an oven. Dogs can’t get in the water because of algae. God dammit. 

Were the dogs like "nope, not getting there" or did you just keep them away from the water?

The other day I overheard a guy at McBride's bitching about how he's tired of people in Austin blaming climate change, fertilizing golf courses and zebra mussels (i.e. the consequences of human actions) for algae in the water when we should be blaming homeless camps, i.e. Greg Cesar.

Now this is the time of year I really wish I was in Denver or somewhere similar. Sunny, 80/50 pretty much every day for the next 2 weeks. That'd be heaven on earth. 

Shit, the CO mountain towns are already basically in Late Fall, getting to where it never makes it above 70 and drops to high 30's when the sun is down.  They'll start getting snowfall before too long.

4 months? Are we in an ice age? I believe you mean 5-7

Anxiously awaiting the ice storm that will take out the remainder of the drought-stressed trees in February.

I'm heading out to Utah/Wyoming/Montana for a couple of weeks  for some national park action. Its about two weeks later than I wanted, but shit came up delaying my departure. Checking the lows at night, I expect mostly high 20's/40's with highs in the 50's/60's. Should be ideal hiking weather.

Fixed.

I don't want it, but it would be the icing on the cake for a lot of people to move elsewhere, including hopefully my wife.

[Deej 76,757]

It's just Austin's plan to make us all experience the plight of the homeless.

[YGIFS 19,449]

Casarpocalypse 2024!  "YOU WILL BELIEVE!"  

but yeah seriously, I walked our creekbelt from Bee Caves to Walsh Tarlton near the mall this evening.  Hold on to your  buttholes.  Those brown leaves you see, sadly, are not signaling yoga pant latte season.  I mean, that'll happen also-thank god.  It means the trees are dead-they just don't know it yet.  First precip accumulation below 40 degrees and it's game over.  

[Deej 76,757]

Hopefully, the homeless will be sleeping under those trees when it happens.

it feels even warmer during the day if you're in the sun, and the shade is absolutely heavenly... and at night we open the windows. glorious.

only a few more weeks of this though i bet, but a cold front not in the forecast yet.

i was thinking the other day about Indian Summer and how i never got to experience that in Texas bc it's just endless summer and then fall lasts like 2 weeks and then it's Christmas.
