Just natural climate shifts the Earth has had for thousands of years. It depends a lot more on sun-spot activity and natural weather occurrences than carbon emissions or other man-made factors.

Awwwww , come on SS , the sun has ... nothing to do with warm weather . I sure as heck hope to see temps in the 80's sometime soon .

Its about 90 right now but feels like 100 with the humidty it will get a hell of a lot hotter later today.

Down here we freak out when it gets just a little cold everyone bundles up like there is a blizzard going, ya'll would laugh to see us here.

One good tip: put a cool wet rag on the back of your neck it cools the blood down. Always cools me down.

personally i love sitting in stand still traffic on I-95 b/c 2 tractor trailers yet again decided to be bullys on the road as i drive from balmore to DC everyday with no AC.

for the past 2 months i drive to work with no shirt, then put on my white T in the garage, then after about a half hour in the office AC i pur on my dress shirt.

do you know whats crazy? watering your pumpkin plants at midnight! dang man, thats sounds like some fun. ive started to water my lil itty bitty backyard for the past few days. its mostly weeds and crab grass so it was nice when it wasnt raining and the weeds/grass wasnt growing so fast. now the weeds wont even sprout up and the grass is dying.

so i wait until sun drops, then go and water my lawn, the mosquitoes are vicious. im watering my tree and notice this big spider making his web which is cool, ive seen this guy before and he does good work and is a valuable allie against the sqeeters. but i notice this lil guy, same spider type as the big one, making a web lower than his and lil too close to the ground where one of my dogs could brush into his web, so i take my hose and spray about a foot underneath him just to knock his web foundation out but not kill him, well, just as i did that the big sprider comes flying right over my head inches away like he was on a zip line. i freak the funk out like a lil girl, spraying the hose on my head and clothes. i guess their webs were connected or the big spider had a foundation web line down there too.

about a month ago a huge huge fly buzzed right by my head, i watch him fly off and i swear to gosh he took a poop so big that i saw it splat on the ground like it was bird poop. never seen that before.

The last couple nights i've watered them that late because it really is the only time where you can get some kind of relief from the heat....it's better than being out when it's daylight....sad but true.

I feel sorry for you folks. I know that many of you are not used to the heat and some of you may not be fully air conditioning prepared.

That said, what you Northeastern folks call a heat wave, we here call "June, July, August, and the beginning of September."

I've got central air so I can't complain, but yeah there are a lot of folks in this region that don't have a/c. This is really hot for this time of year for us, our normal high right about now should be in the low 80s.

Yup. I'm a DC native, but after 8 years in the low-lying swamps of central Florida, I laugh at people around here. Try late August/early September in Gainesville if you want hot. And the humidity is just retarded down there. 95 up here is a far cry from 95 down there.
