Most of the time we really don't need it. Our summers are mid 70's to mid 80's, with it cooling off quickly at night. But the weather patterns are changing. For us 5 - 100 degree days is it for the year. I'm heading to the beach house, it going to be about 70 down there all week. Our humidity is only 15% this time of year.

15% humidity sounds amazing. It's 100% here. (Rain)

Im going to have central A/C in my home next year ,have a furnace and window units but they cant keep up after taking out 30 trees that blocked the sun .The last few days here have been very nice .

53 days of no rain. It might start to change next week just before the total eclipse on August 21st. They are predicting a million people coming into our area for it. Excepting traffic to be a night mare. Been about 90 every day.

Here it is a bizarre summer. It is getting reasonably hot. But at night it is getting cold enough to turn the heater on in the van. It normally is in the 80's at night in aug.

Send some of that here, a cool night here is 75* with high humidity .

Today was blazing hot, around 93* with a heat index of 102. I spent my day off putting a set of power leather seats in my father's Sierra for him. Wasn't a plug and play deal, his truck is a base model with crank windows.

62 degrees here now.

[carpoor]

It's 88* here.

The 100 degree weather is finally gone, we have been 65 days with only 0.10 inches of rain. Been around the mid 80's now.

We have about a million extra people in Oregon to watch the eclipse on Monday. Roads are expected to be grid locked on Monday and Tuesday. A lot of businesses are telling people to stay home. Gas and food is also in short supply with all these people. I heard farms are renting out there fields for camping at around $400 a night for a camping space. Hotel rooms are going for as much as a $1000 a night. It's gone crazy.
