How's the weather?

Heat index of 100F+. Thermometer temperatures rarely get above 94F, but the heat index has been 111F to 116F this week.
Well... I don't pay much attention to HI, WC etc -- that said; 'unqualified' temps in excess of 80°F are brutal and above 90° unthinkable! --- "Southern comfort" indeed?!:confused::eek::D

Best regards

I was wondering where you must be, since most of the country is seeing 90+ this week. Laughed when I saw "Duluth". The rest of us are cooked if Duluth is 90F.

Today in Maine:

I was going to post a picture from up here in Bar Harbor where it's warm but comfortable. Is there a way to do that from an iPhone? Away from my computer for some R&R.

Remarkable! Based upon aspect alone - that image might have been taken from my (figurative) back yard -- yet I see from your post that such is of a scene some 1300 miles distant!...

I like whitefish but that building in the 2nd photo is a lobster "shack" where my lunch went from the Atlantic to my plate in just minutes. Hot, with plenty of butter. The best.

If only you could get lobsters out of the Great Lakes.

Everybody acclimates. The first year I was in California, I wore a trench coat because I was acclimated to drenching sweats, and the low humidity air in California would hit my sweat and take my surface temperature down to the threshold of pain.:confused: After a year, I was acclimated to a place where very little sweat goes a long way, and the F temperature was trivial compared to Florida.:) My apartment didn't even have an air conditioner!

The attic heat would radiate down at night, so I put a 20 inch box fan in the attic hatch. It worked so well that my neighbor thanked me, and I had never spoken to her previously.

The weather in California attracted a lot of people across several decades. Now, there are too many! The smog is so thick you can go to Orange Hill restaurant and look down on a layer about 18 feet thick.:eek::(

Now, if you will excuse me, it's after dark, so I can go outside and replace a fence post.
The F temperature will be about 80 and the heat index will be below 90F after 10 PM.
Good weather to operate a shovel.:p

Well... Many of Lake Superior's tributaries are replete with 'crayfish' (i.e. diminutive 'fresh water lobsters', if you will) 'tho I must concede that it's just not the same:(:(:(

On a trip back to the UK I was surprised to find that someone had introduced the invasive Rusty Crayfish because restaurants had a demand for them, we caught some and they tasted very good.
The are now found in this part of Canada for the first time and are very invasive killing natural species and destroying vegetation.
They are on the provinces fisheries hit list along with the recent influx of Zebra Mussels
Personally I much prefer them to shrimp, and the Rusty variety come close to lobster.
The Rusty evidently originates from streams in the Ohio River Basin states of Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana , and Tennessee.

I thought the northern edge of the HeatDome reached...
Uggg! Meteorologists!

'Heat Domes' in the July and 'Polar Vortices' in January -- And the great revelation? Can it be that winter is often cool and summer often warm?! - Golly, golly!;););)
I won't even start on (so called) 'severe weather':rolleyes: I think they're frustrated air raid wardens:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Now it seems "we're" naming winter storms:rolleyes:

Hot this week near Portland. Headed to the coast starting Thursday where the beaches will be in the 80's on Friday. :D That cold water will feel mighty good.

What's the gray cloudy stuff? Reminds me of the Smokey Mountains where the vast limestone cave system breathes similar fog in the morning. Or is Mexico on fire like several American states?:D
Those are clouds, actually... the morning was kind of misty and the sky was beginning to clear.
