OK, I'd like to know who is responsible for moving Joanne's and Sharon's weather up here???
I didn't do it! But I'd be glad to send it most anywhere. It's been
100º plus or minus a degree or three for over a week, and there's no end in sight, and I'm getting tired of it. We've been running the a/c for a week now because it doesn't get chilly enough in the night. It doesn't get below 70º until 2 or 3 A.M. This is "August weather" and IIRC, it was the same last year, though August was cooler.
Hey, we got a cool front last week, and the daytime temps did not even go up to 90F. 89F was the hottest it got for two days and we thoroughly enjoyed the coolth. I have the a/c question down to a science. At night, we turn it up to 80 downstairs, and turn it down to 74 upstairs for cool sleeping, then in the morning on my way downstairs I turn that one up to 80F, and wait until I need to turn it on downstairs, Sometimes I don't have to turn it on until nearly noon, as the upstairs has sent all its cool down.

Usually we get temps in the hi 50s to low 60s at night this time of year, so I can open windows to cool the house down and I don't have to run the AC 24/7. Not this week, they are forecasting daytime 100+ and nights of mid to hi 60s for the next several days.
Very unwelcome! I was hoping to paint the living room while all the carpeting is gone and before the new floors get laid. The baseboards are removed, which makes painting go so much faster. But the paint I'm using recommends application at temps no higher then 77F. I doubt I can keep the living room that cool.
I feel spoiled by our usual weather - the tremendous temperature drop at night regardless of the day-time heat. Our brick house holds the cooler air nicely if I air the house in the night, then close up before the heat gets going.
No, you don't want to paint in high temperatures, unless you have super powers. It dries faster than you can spread it on the wall.
Please send a few day's worth in our direction! This is our current weather:

We had several days in a row of over 100, then we had a good rain last week end and it "cooled" off to the upper 90s. The lows were in the 80s most nights, now they've dropped to the mid-70s.
Yesterday, it was over 100 for several hours and we expect more of the same, today. Tomorrow, it's supposed to cool down to the low 90s with more rain. But August will bring more HOT weather.
Until last weekend, we had no measurable rain for over 2-months, and we are in a severe drought situation.
