Hot! Hot! Hot!

[Tradd]

How is everyone dealing with the heat? Almost 11 am here in the Chicago suburbs and it’s 88. I tend to keep my ac at 67 when I’m home, but I kicked it up to 70 to hopefully be a little easier on the ac unit since it’s going to be at least 95 the next few days. We have a severe heat warning through early Tuesday. I’m staying in this weekend except for church. I had to take the trash out to the dumpster about 9 am and it was already 80 with very soupy air.

Ceiling fan going in BR. I have one of the those Vornado fans on the floor, pointed just right to hit my body when I’m in bed (I pretty much live in my bed). I have a couple of rechargeable fans (they don’t oscillate and put out a good breeze) that I have blowing on me when I’m at my desk in the LR. I’m being lazy this weekend. I had to bring some work home, but I’ll deal with that tomorrow afternoon or later today.

Light food, too. Lunch today was tomato sandwiches.

We keep the thermostat at 76 and use a Vornado floor fan. In the bedroom we have a ceiling fan and use it every night. Cannot open the windows since the humidity is too high and it does not get much cooler at night.

I do not go out but hubby is on a Habitat panel build outside all day. He will be drenched when he gets home.[

Not currently living at home, so temp raised. When visiting, turning ceiling fans on, because with two of the conditions, I run colder and a warmer house feels better right now.

We don't have AC so it's rough. Fans, ceiling fans, open windows, closed shades. It just didn't seem worth the expense of adding an AC system for a few weeks of 90+ days. At 6000ft altitude and normally little humidity, it is usually cool enough at night. The basement stays a lot cooler though so we head there some nights - like tonight.

No AC here either. Ceiling fans and little movement. So far, so good, but I just heard we are in for high temps up to Wednesday.

Currently 87 and sunny here, expecting a high of 89 today and highs in the low 90's and sunny for the next week. AC in the house is set at 74 and it feels very comfortable, of course that's just for use when we come inside. My special needs grandson is here for the weekend and we've only just come in after spending nearly 2 hours in the backyard pool where the water temp is 86 and quite refreshing.

After lunch we'll go back to the pool and then we'll do it again after dinner which I think will be our daily routine going forward.

I’m sick with a high temperature and the chills, so I go outside periodically to sit in the sun because it’s the only way I can get warm.

Ugh. Sorry to hear.

My local WeatherUnderground station is showing 102. It's a dry heat. The early mornings have been very nice.
