56 with bright blue skies and a bright sun getting ready to punish us. High today should be in the upper 90’s and yesterday I saw 90 here at home. Then hot, hotter and hot hot hot. We’re heading to the lake next week and it’s supposed to cool down somewhat with highs in the low 90’s. Still too warm, no power at the camp so to run the A/C I’ll have to run the generator.

More morning puttering around and then an indoor afternoon.

..

In that part of California, yes.

[dave77]

Forecast here for Tuesday is 110, too hot but after the last 2 years it seems that high 90's and 100's are the new norm for most of July and August.

[Sir Henry]

I found even a hotter place in California.

Huh, Furnace Creek, wonder why they call it that?

Dave77, best to you with these expected triple digit temps. Looks like your area is in a fire warning along with the excessive heat warning. No wind to speak of here so for now we’re not in the fire warning like you. That could change Wednesday.

Right now it’s 59 and sunny. Spokane is looking at triple digits today but here at my place “just” the upper 90’s. Don’t think we will feel the difference. Of course in downtown Spokane where many low income folks live it will be 5-6 degrees hotter. And many of those folks do not have A/C.

Mostly today I will be puttering around inside but my wife said something about going out to look at flagstone. WTH, she wants me to install flagstone rocks in this heat??????? I think she has an ulterior motive here…

It’s in Death Valley. I lived in Spokane for years and have seen it over 100 there.

Our VFW post has been asked to do a funeral today for a Marine who did two tours in
Vietnam. We will supply flags and a rifle salute at the church.
We got the new Dish Antenna installed on the RV yesterday and after we do the funeral
I will take it to town and get it fueled up. We leave for a weeks trip on Thursday.
I hope no one is hurt with the hurricane. I haven't talked to my cousins in St. Louis
yet, but they should be OK.

Yes, we have always had days in triple digits but overall it does seem to be warmer here. I’d like to tell the sun to “get off my lawn”.

Just looked at the thermometer and it’s 64 right now. That’s nearly unheard of for my location here north of the city. High today here at my place is 99 and in Spokane itself 103. I’ve been taking the dogs for a hike early around 7:00 am and on my trail there has been no dew whatsoever. It’s still green as you can see in this pic but there’s no surface moisture at all. And with all the ferns in this spot there must be some sub-irrigation. Come fall this will all be crusty brown and ready to explode.

63 when I got up, pretty warm for 5:00am around here. Today is the peak of our current heat spell with 104 forecast in Spokane and 101 here in Deer Park. Then a cool down to the mid to upper 90’s for the next several days. We’re heading to the lake next Tuesday for some days and I think it’s going to be too hot to go to the lake. Huh? No power at the campsite so in order to run I will need to run the generator which can get annoying to other campers. Not that there won’t be a dozen other genny’s running.

Today I’m heading out early to mow the lawn and take the dogs for a hike and then it’s hunker down inside. We have a late afternoon doctor appointment and then we’re meeting a couple of neighbors at a new Mexican restaurant in Spokane. I’m not much on spicy food but my wife loves it.

About the same here but were supposed get some gusty winds tonight and tomorrow.

I don't call upper 90's a cool down, I'd love to see 70's or even mid 80's.

[Vaquero]

Good morning, Holy cow it's 65 out this AM, around 90 for the high.
Presently the humidity is at 96 %.
Washed the scooter yesterday afternoon, a few of us are riding down to Pulaski TN this Sat.
Should be a nice little ride with some nice scenery, about a 100 miles one way.

We're supposed to leave for the Winnebago Grand National Rally at the factory in Forest City today.
How some ever I ate something that definitely did not agree with me and the last 12 hours have been most uncomfortable.
We will see what the day will bring.
Carol looks foreword to this every year so I'll do my best. Fortunately my bathroom travels with me.

Mrs.B has me busy help cleaning the house, my son and family are arriving from Denmark. Cleaning my workbench, mowing the lawn, washing windows. Everyone have a great day!

I’m with you Dave, 70’s and 80’s are more in my comfort zone. We didn’t get the winds forecast yesterday and I hope it was the same for you. We are getting smoke from the Poineer Fire north of you that’s making the sunshine hazy.

Today it’s cooling down to the upper 90’s. Then more of the same thru the weekend and into next week. No rain in sight and this area is getting ready to explode. We are only a windy thunderstorm away from wide spread wildfires. Or some stupid people doing stupid things and starting a fire on a windy day.

Got a little breezy but not that bad, the wind predictions are for the airport and being up a small canyon we sometimes don't get the wind the valley gets.

We've already had three nearby grass fires but they were both on calm days and there were several helicopters and small planes available to dump water on them and they were able to get them under control before they lost any structures.

Hopefully we will not get one like the 2015 Sleepy Hollow fire that burned many homes and even sent embers over a mile away which burned down several warehouses.
