It's 88 degrees and there's a heavy summer storm outside.....

[brooklynite]

.....in October.

[at140]

1. Where are You?

Here south of Jacksonville, FL it is only 80 deg high the rest of week and no storm in sight.

[brooklynite]

17. Outside NYC...

It was 95 outside of Baltimore...

[at140]

26. Well I guess all the heat has gone north!

It has been steady 88-90 ever day here for many days, but cooled off a bit now.

[FreeState]

2. Meanwhile us that have late summers

Meanwhile us that have late summers are still waiting for them to arrive. I'm in Southern California (SD), we typically have the hottest month as August/September and then it bleeds into October during the day. We have had very few days over 80 this year.

3. 99 degrees here in NC today.

Desperately in need of rain.

[True Blue American]

5. 92 in Ohio

Drought! I think we go down with showers. Not counting on the showers.

[cwydro]

14. Insanity.

Gah!

[Falcata]

19. I stayed in the AC all day

99 is a lot more than I can handle. 40 miles NE of Charlotte. Couple more days and we get some relief from the 90's.

[empedocles]

4. hit 96 in DC area today. October 2

[Different Drummer]

6. 93 degrees here in GA...

at 6:41 PM EDT.

[LeftInTX]

7. 93 here in San Antonio

No relief in sight

[Tripper11]

8. Cooler than usual in the PNW

Western Washington seems to be much cooler than normal especially at night this time of year.

[Jrsygrl96]

9. Climate Change Hoax

Yes, me too. In the northeast the temperature was 95 degrees when I got in my car this afternoon. I work with many repugs and made sure to point out that they cannot deny climate change anymore. They did not disagree with me! Happy sweltering Autumn!

[LiberalFighter]

10. A heavy cleansing?

[The Genealogist]

11. Just checked the NWS and we hit 93 today

Springfield, MO. Only 67 tomorrow! 26 degrees cooler, so they say.

[Blue_true]

13. In my part of Florida the trend is cooler. But we do have some pops hotter. nt

[The Genealogist]

18. I lived in Tallahassee for 6 years

It quite often gets hotter in Springfield, but that humidity in Tallahassee just about did me in!

[Blue_true]

22. The humidity here is bad. That comes with having water almost everywhere,

salt water on both sides, lots of lakes and ponds, rivers, a fairly high water table.

[Blue_true]

12. Summer storm where, in NYC? nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. 95F at sunset, so dry the grass crunches

South central Kentucky, October 2.

It's cooled off some since the hottest part of the day -- 2 pm.

[True Blue American]

36. The weather man just said, fall like temps Friday

In 50’s at night. Rain moving in Sunday.. 3 weeks since I had my lawn mowed.

[Lars39]

16. 97 in Nashville today

[Alea]

20. We've been setting records daily for at least 3 weeks now, and zero rain.

Mid to high 90's - Southern Alabama...

My grass is dead. Or looks dead.

[Totally Tunsie]

21. Wow - sounds like that hurricane didn't help you at all!

[Alea]

27. Not one bit LOL. In fact, that mf'er jinxed us

[True Blue American]

37. You mean that black marker was

Not accurate? WOW!

[at140]

32. That hurricane day Sept 4th was the best cool day in Florida!

Temps dropped into low 70's for high, and there was that wonderful cool wind coming off-shore.
Plus lots of cooling rain. We just parked on the back porch Lanai all day!

[peggysue2]

24. Same here in eastern TN

My husband read they've officially called it a drought. We've been in the 90s+ for at least 3 weeks without a spit of rain. Presumably, there's a front coming in with rain sometime this weekend. And cooler temps. Thank God!

[Alea]

29. I hope so. Hope it makes it down here. We are baking.

[peggysue2]

23. The high in Knoxville area today was . . .

100 degrees, this according to my weather bug. Think the prediction was a cool 97 degrees. It's still 87 degrees at 8:30 pm. So glad Climate Change is all a big old hoax!

Tomorrow we're suppose to hit a high of 98. Good to know I can catch up on my suntan in early October.

[at140]

33. East is baking, south is baking, west is colder, NW is much colder

at this time of year. It proves that weather changes! There is no such thing as exact same temp on a certain calendar day. Chances are on Oct 2nd 2020 you will be cooler than today.

Here south of Jacksonville, FL, it is much cooler today (high 80) than it has been all last week, when it was near 90 every day.

[peggysue2]

35. I wasn't trying to suggest an exact temp for any particular month of the year

In that, I was kidding. But this year and each year that has progressed in the last fifty years have shown real and documented shifts in temperature, storm intensities, rainfall, etc. It's not simply weather change. It's Climate Change making itself felt and known, something that will have a profound effect on every living thing on the planet.

We ignore these changes at our own peril. Not to mention a sustainable environment for the future.

[First Speaker]

25. It hit 91 in CT today...but in the past 90 minutes, it's gone from 78 to 62...

...and going down still further. God bless New England weather!

[nocoincidences]

28. 92 in Virginia Beach

Miserable.

[Texasgal]

30. Very hot here in Austin, TX.

I know we are in Texas, but at this point, we should NOT be in the 100's.

Hear a cold front is coming! That'll knock us down a bit! It's been the hottest September in Austin on record!

[BlueTsunami2018]

31. 93 in Philly today.

If we could lower that by ten degrees and keep it year round, I’d be good with that. Fall temperatures start tomorrow though.

[CentralMass]

34. It looks like NYC is going to have a high of 59 tomorrow.
