What's your weather?

Fairly cool, chilly, a bit windy this AM.

Lots of birds about.

Temperatures nearing 90 are a heat wave?  Temperatures in the low 90s are fairly common here around this time of year, or at least have been in recent years.  What has had everybody startled was the highs in the mid-90s in the second week of May this year.  I had to turn my air on a week or more early!

I realize that 90 degrees with high humidity can be dangerous for some people.  It's just that such conditions have always been so normal where I live that I've grown up not thinking much about them.  It has only been in recent years that I've come to realize what an extreme climate my home region has.  We have no large bodies of water in the region, so we don't even get the sea breezes that they get in coastal Florida.

I left my phone in the storage thingee that separates the two front seats of the car, during church today-- got out after service and fellowship luncheon after 4 hours, around 2pm.   Thermostat on dash read 101F, likely due to the open air sitting of car on hot asphalt.   Tried to use phone but warning message on screen said it was hot and as such had shut down apps-- could not make any non-emergency calls and could not open email.   Had to drive for about 10 miles, with a/c on, towards ocean, watching temperature drop noticeably (ocean is 20 miles south, and when I got there,  it was only 70), before phone and email worked again.   Is this normal?

91 degrees and thunderstorm warnings here.

Yes, above certain temps, the circuits fry, so a sensor shuts them down.

Now unseasonably cool here.  Yesterday the high was only in the mid-70s.  Today is supposed to be the same.  It was far into the 90s on Saturday.  We've also had some nice, slow, good-for-the-vegetation rain.  That sort of mild rain is becoming all too rare in this age of weather extremes.

Thunder and lightning in full force along with heavy rains.

Day 2 for a Heat Emergency Alert in DC. It's been in the 90s.
It'll be cooler tomorrow though.

The rodeo is in town this week, so occasional brief showers are absolutely guaranteed.  We had one in the wee hours this morning.

Currently 89 degrees F, but it feels like 93 deg. F.

Wow, we just got more than the usual annoying Rodeo Weeks showers.  We've had some frog-stranglers today.

Surprisingly, I'm in the clear across the Potomac. Welcome to the most advanced third world country!

Some people here like to eat frogs, but I don't think they're into watching them in jumping contests.
