The 1st part of Summer was dark & rainy. The beginning of July was pleasant & acting like June. Then it hit. The end of July brought the heat & humidity. This sweltering crap hasn't left. It's been the hottest end of Summer we've had in years.
There have been a couple of years in the past 5 that we never hit the century mark. We hit 100° a couple of times the other years, but not for long. The night's weren't staying near 80°. But, that's been the case for over a month here. There's only been 1 day we didn't need the AC & a few we started it a little later. Other than that, the AC was on, followed at night by a barrage of fans.
This will be the most electricity we've used in over a decade during a single billing cycle. It's not just the AC. The frig & freezer are working harder. I have a big fan, that I hadn't used overnight in years. It sucks power & it's been on every night for over a month, just trying to keep me dry. Normally I just use a normal box & small oscillating fan by my bed. All that together isn't making the room cooler, it's barely keeping me dry.
None of this has been good for sleep or staying healthy. Both of us have been sick & struggling with this crap. The cat looks melted half the time. Every plant outside is dying & the animals have mostly moved off. We need rain & cooler temps.
This has been a miserable Summer & there's a lot of hot weather still in the forecast. That's it for now, take care.
Cya...
