That's the forecast for a week from now so it might mean a bit of cooling.
Unlikely to see much. The heat dome is moving west Thursday for a couple of days where we might drop to 100 before being forecast to build right back up to full strength again Saturday FML

Eh, try Winter. Snow is the worst.

Snow is pretty, though. Cold and dark, but no snow, is just depressing. Snow is the one consolation prize for winter.

The downside of summer is having long sunny days if you aren't in a position to make any use of them, i.e. are stuck indoors for any reason (work or health or whatever). It always makes me acutely aware of the finite nature of life, i.e that I've only got a limited number of such days left ahead of me. In winter you have the consolation of knowing that it's miserable out anyway, and everybody else is probably stuck indoors as well so you aren't really missing anything.

No one likes summer. They say they do cause they think that's what they're supposed to say, but when you break it down, people don't like anything that makes summer, summer.
Today was the first day that felt like summer here. We've had June Gloom seemingly for weeks on end. Overcast until late in the morning or into the afternoon. Today, OMG, sun from the getgo. High temperature in my yard maybe 74F.

We've had more heat waves than ever, though, so some hot weather's probably coming. It won't be extremely humid, though.

I do NOT hate summer, my birthday's right in the middle of it!

Today's approximately the longest "day" of the year, shortest night. From now on the days get shorter and shorter all the way to ~Dec. 21.

Forgot we also have hazardous air quality today thanks to a ton of smoke from farmers burning their fields in Mexico. So high heat, insanely over the top humidity, and smog that looks like the worst of 1990s LA.
You mean LA Los Angeles or LA Louisiana? AFAIK, Los Angeles smog wasn't so bad in the 1990's. It was terrible around 1960 before emissions became a thing.

Temperatures are nice but I'm starting to get sick of all the rain. At least it's good for the lawn.

Whenever someone comments about bad Chicago weather, I always remind them that Texas sucks in the summer. Its been 75-85, low humidity, and barely any rain here for weeks.

IDK I still remember some very smoggy days when I first moved out there in the late 90s. Air seemed much cleaner in LA when I moved back to Texas in the late 00s. Though I always remember San Bernadino having the worst. Would sometimes look like you were flying into a cloud of diarrhea coming into LA from the east. Nowadays San Antonio and Houston air look like 1990s LA air.

It had been a beautiful June so far in Massachusetts. Sitting outside after work right now — 70 and sunny. Little rainy perhaps compared to other years but otherwise low humidity and highs around 70, like the good old days before the weather went to shit.

The SF bay area where I live on average has 5 days of night time freezing weather and 5 days of 100 degree weather.
So much better than Houston where I worked putting steel in swimming pools. We showed up at the yard at 4:00am to load the steel. We left work at 12 noon because we couldn't touch the steel with gloved hands after noon.
73 degrees right now at 3:51pm

First day of summer, and the high today was 64... and I live in the south.

Come on, we have a lot in common with Europe. For instance, European leaders like Orban and Mussolini would fit right in with our state government.
