ugly august weather.

Geo-TH,In · Aug 24, 2014

You know it ugly when dew points are in the 70's, temp in the 90's, heat index near 100.

If you don't know, all you have to do is change zip code to get your local info.

George I'm an hour north of you around Danville il, never know hour to hour what's going on, sunny warm got lots of mowing done even got brush hog out . Soon as I did clouds came in rain began. Dog days they say. Ok with me I well remember last winter

Geo-TH,In · Aug 24, 2014

Sounds like tomorrow your heat index will be about the same. I've been staying in too, heat and health reasons. Can you say cabin fever?

I fired up the AC in the garage and shop today to dry them out.

Yep hotter then you no where and no rain in sight and the hay crop has gone to heck. Step out side and you seat the moment you close the front door

JD Seller · Aug 24, 2014

George I can't take the humidity anymore. I over heated about 9-10 years ago. Ever since then I just can't take the heat.

I will take zero over 90 any day.

I have not done much at all the last few days as the heat/humidity is high. Just getting the needed stuff done takes it all out of me.

Some of my meds have a sun and heat warning on them. So all of you fellows watch that and be safe the next few days.

It hasn't been that hot here. We have had rain every day for the last week. Neighbor reseeded his hayfield this spring, cut the oats last Tuesday just in time to get it rained on. Other people around had hay down almost ready to bale when the rain started.
People are wondering if some of the grain crops will sprout in the heads as well. Normal rain for the month of August is .54 inches and so far we have had 2.28 inches. Not much happening until it dries out some.

I see it on the map, we get it here most summers and enough to be brutal, I can't take it in the barns anymore since the summer of '10 was about as hot as it gets, this summer has been extremely mild compared to others. '10 was summer from May to August with high heat and drought conditions, I have never seen the field by my house turn brown/tan. I have hardly run my window A/C or central A/C, won't bet on getting another one next year, not sure what it is, but sure has been tolerable, its the humidity I hate the most, that does slow you down.

A different kind of ugly here. High winds and 4 inches of rain with temps in the high 40s. My furnace has been cutting in all day. AC? not needed here in Sask. Chance of overnight frost in the next day or so.

donjr · Aug 25, 2014

The whole world is flipping over. Here on the Mason Dixon, we've had the most pleasant summer ever. Occasional rains, mild temps, and now an August where it never hit 90. Even the humidity hasn't been bad for more than a couple of days. You all are welcome to it. I'll take more summers this way.......

JD, the nice thing about 90ºF is you don't have to shovel or plow the precip.

Before air conditioning was popular, Grampa used to call hot humid weather "corn growing weather". At the time that did made it a little easier to accept. He was also younger then than I am now.

JD Seller,
Last August hit me hard too. Up to a few days ago we had more fall like weather.

Now 88 feels like 97, 63% and dew point 73. The dew point is a killer if this air gets in your much cooler basement. We get condensation, mold, mildew. Not really a good thing. 2 dehumidifiers struggle in basement.

I Wonder, does the heat index ever work backwards? Say it's 110 in a desert, does it ever feel like it 88 because the air is dry? I know swamp coolers cool air in dry climates.
George
