    So, I live in california. Most people think sunny and beaches when they think california. We got the beaches here, but we are almost always freezing, and that's one known thing about my city. It's always cold. To give an idea, our record high temperature, ever, was 75 degrees (Fahrenheit) which was in 2006... So, yesterday I wake up sweating, my cover is off, and my window is open. I'm like what the...? So I come downstairs, and my mom walks in going off about the heat. I walk outside, and burn my feet on the cement... in the shade.

    Now, I've lived in north carolina, I know what temperatures over 100 are like. However, yesterday, We reached a high (according to the weather channel) of 104 degrees. It felt more like 150, if comparing to temp. in NC. Yes, the record was shattered by 29 degrees... It gets cold at night, which we all take comfort in. So, today, at about 5:30 AM, the sun comes out... at 5:45, I look outside, it's BRIGHT, and no fog (we normally have fog every morning, until 10 AM- Noon.) So, right now, I'm just a bit freaked out.

    The weather channel predicts a high of 72 today, then again, they also said yesterday was supposed to be a high of 69. >.>. Anyone else experiencing some weird weather lately? o.o;; I'm just curious, as I'm so staying up today and going to the beach :astonished: lol, it's normally too cold.

    The weather's been pretty weird in CA yeah. Where I am it's very cold one day and brilliantly hot the next. Can't seem to make up its mind.

    I live in the southeastern US. It's been pretty odd over here as well.
    One day it's cold, then it's REALLY warm.
    Then there's days it's REALLY cold for half the day and REALLY warm for the other half.

    Tis strange....
    It reallys bugs me.

    It's actually been rather chilly for this time of year in Colorado. We were even supposed to get snow last week (but thankfully didn't).

    It's very hot in Las Vegas, as you could guess. But it's supposed to get even hotter early next week hitting the low 100's. :dry: I guess that means summer's here.

    Open your window, and put a fan on the window sill.
    Sleep on top of the covers, not underneath.
    Take a cool/cold shower just before going to bed.

    Best of luck. :slight_smile:

    It's 87 degrees right now. In Oklahoma we can have the heater and air conditioner on in the same day and it's normal for Oklahoma. It can get very hot here, well over the 100 degree mark. And the wind is a whole other story!

    I'm sorry to say that it's 71 here with a bit of cloud and a few showers.

    ...I think we traded weather with Seattle.

    So... they predicted it would lower today, to the 50s... Wrongo, back in the 90s. Me and my mom are now sick, we aren't used to the weather anymore. I'm freezing, but I'm burning up, so I may end up at the doctor tomorrow if it continues, it's never a good sign... >_<
