Yeah...100 miles south, not the case.  102 and continuing upward right now.  2 mph wind.  Getting more humid.  112 heat index  

The high will go back to 99....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on Tuesday

 

Average high on 8/14 is 96.7 and by Saturday 8/24 it's 95.7 so let's hope we can make it to the start of CFB in 10 days.

The radar looks like it's going to rain soon. Which means we won't be getting any rain tonight. 

[Post Oak 20254]

95 and cloudy. Real feel of 100 but seems closer to 98 to me..

Thank God for the cloud cover.  Gives my AC a chance to keep up. 

[atomheartbevo 89750]

If it can keep this up, it's helping to make my case to move to New England.  I can deal with their "heatwave" in the 80s.

[XYZ 2154]

Holy shit, water is falling from the sky

[Moby Ric 2058]

It fucking rained.  First rain in 2 months on my yard.  Ironic it happens the day after spent money on reworking the sprinkler system to better cover my yard since it was dying.

move to coastal cali instead (I'm assuming you're loaded like the rest of us).  With NE living, you'll just end up moving all your bitching over to the winter thread for 6 months.

Supposed to be 90 tomorrow. Such bullshit.

At least the low will still be in the 50s and it’s just the one day to deal with. 

[BrazilHorn 6621]

There’s some weirdo on nextdoor that keeps posting daily heat advisory notices. 

I’m assuming they’re a California transplant as the heat advisory for Austin in August daily falls into the “no shit Sherlock category”

[Neonmoon 38129]

So is this week the last week of 100s? Seem like I see 98s popping up on the horizon 

I realize it will still be hot as shit. 

[InkaUtexas 26012]

It is hot. Cooler loaded. Beer on ice. taking the mutts to the river to watch coeds float down the river. Will be a good day. 

[El Diablo 4232]

Forecast is triple digits everyday for the next week. Ballsack outlook; sweaty. Taint rivulets likely.

[Guest Lobo]

ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage:  "Taint Rivulets Likely"

all we need is a bass player and we can head into the studio.

And they only play outdoor venues and only in July and August.

And are somehow always on the southern stage at 4:00p

You can start looking for relief in the middle to end of September as long these highs keep staying parked over us with no rain.

Suck it up or move to Minnesota.

Do phone chargers up there not operate above 90?

[XYZ 2154]

Power outage last night in southwest Austin. Fricking hot.

[XYZ 2154]

My A/C is running non-stop. I don’t know if it will make it til the fall.

This shit is miserable.  104 again today.  This is a pretty good run of days well into the mid 100’s.

It's the cold.  It'll do that to a phone.  Or to reference a scientific article: Cold weather “increases the internal resistance and diminishes the capacity” of a Li-ion battery.  PdM needs to keep his phone in his coat pocket.

Could also be that I spend most of my day reading surly on my phone.  One mid day charge is sufficient.

Heat index over 100 all week in Atlanta. Last power bill had a comma in it. Brutal.

[Buzzrock 14934]

That along with the daily, "OMG this person was walking their dog in this heat!!@#@!!", postings.  

I wouldn’t want to be walking barefoot on the street/sidewalk in this heat.

How does that happen? Do you live in a tent? Heat index here has probably been a good ten degrees higher and our house is 50 years old with lots of inefficiencies,  yet our power bill rarely gets above $175 in the summer.

5000 square feet doesn't air condition itself. Sucks.

Yeah, I air condition my garage also....

[Guest Lobo]

And my attic.  And my open air back patio.  And my front porch.  Yep, that's about 5000 ft.

Me neither that’s why I wear shoes. Where is this next door person’s concern for the human?

[bschoolprof 6269]

Looks like a weak cold front is expected to hit late next week and knock highs (lows) down into the lower 90s (70s).  I base this on weather.com temperatures and wind directions. Could be wrong though.  I do have a PhD, just not in internet weather.

I wouldn't be tempting fate just yet  

[InkaUtexas 26012]

yep, just jinxed us for sure. Going to be +98 all the way to the OU game now. 

[irishtexan 11522]

Heard on the radio this has been the second-hottest August on record after 2011. So we got that going for us. 

 

Fuck this shit.

When have the weather guys ever been wrong?

[HOOKEM4 5039]

Can we band together and agree that we neg every post coming from these idiots that cannot read? The ones that keep posting weather reports from canada? 

Nobody cares what the weather is like in your winter wonderland shithole.
