And the heatwave continues...
Throw in a humidity level of 75% and you're looking at a heat index of over 100°F. Tomorrow's high is expected to top 99°F, with a heat index of over 110°F.
Summer has officially worn out its welcome.

Coping, coping. It's been very hot the past couple of weeks. We've had 50+ deaths, mostly elderly folk who live inland.Originally posted by Fatum:read that the US's experiencing a drought ...

Since the start of the heatwave? Yup: $39. It's usually in the low-20s during a "normal" summer, so the additional a/c usage is definitely making its mark.Originally posted by jetta:Got your power bill yet?
What about your power bill? -
Through reduced water consumption, municipally-imposed sprinkler restrictions, and lots of grumbling.Originally posted by Fatum:read that the US's experiencing a drought ...

The biggest worry right now is the drought's effects on this year's crop yields. Produce prices at local supermarkets are already starting to creep upwards. -
It's hailing here right now as I speak !!! ....

It's 12:45 a.m. here, and the temperature outside is still 86°F.
The forecast high for later today (Sunday) is 100°F before taking into account the heat index. -
Ah so...Originally posted by laurence82:He studied at Umich, university of michigan, so naturally he got some friends here -
I feel for you because it's been that way here most nights. We got a reprieve today though. Mother Nature snuck some light rain on us today, so it's a pretty cool night right now.Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Lucky you.

Uh, yeah.... $39 is significantly more than the usual mid-20s, thanks to the increased a/c usage.Originally posted by jetta:That's it?!?!? I was expecting something way higher. I haven't gotten mine yet. We've been running the fan mostly, haven't touched the a/c.
Fortunately, my natural gas bill this season has been lower than normal, as the furnace isn't operating, and the water heater needs to work less to heat up the incoming water (due to the heatwave). The gas bill has been averaging about $15/month this summer.
Winter will be a different story, when the furnace is operating and the gas bill shoots up to about $180/month.
