Dispatch move at 0400 messed me up yesterday. Got home a little after 8 and was already up so started into yard work. Thermometer in the shade read 86 at the hottest. I kept my bucket hat on all day, shirt not so much. Shoulders were TOASTY trying to sleep last night.
Sunny and 75 at the beach right now!

All it has done for the last 5 days is rain, rain and you guessed it RAIN. 82 and tropical.

IM seeking input asap I am a first time owner of BMW, for about 4 weeks. really like it ,but i'm learning. THE B would not start today. Symptoms: when its been very hot out i've noticed a weaker type of start. today it barely turned over and then waa laa nothing, dead battery. The trunk unlocks and as well as doors, but not enough to start i believe. QUESTION can i use a Stanley jumpit 1000 peak jump starter(its larger than the small jump sticks or portables i've been TOLD by youtube to absolutely use or me n the B will basically self destruct. Of course i would connect under the hood and not directly to batt. your thoughts please.

If you're hesitant to use a jumper pack, how about calling roadside assistance and asking them to jump start it for you?????

That's what I felt like yesterday. The temp was in the low 70s. At one point I put a sweater on over my basic summer T-shirt. But today is forecast for upper 80s. And a sprinkle is not out of the question within the next few days. Given all the areas elsewhere that are baking in summer heat, I think we've got it pretty good.

Past two morning's have been pleasant. High's keep fluctuating over the last few days and will continue into next week. Supposed to rain tomorrow, hope it stops by the time I tee off at 5pm ET!

It was raining cats and dogs for a few weeks, and it was hot and humid, now it's been a proper summer, but working in the 99 degree weather isn't great either...

The overnight low was a brisk 57 F here in upstate NY, and today and tomorrow's highs are forecast to be in the upper 80's F.

Down yonder in SC at the tree farm, the forecast for the next few days is for highs in the mid-upper 90's F and lows in the mid-70's F.....

Mid-morning temps are already at 91* with a heat index of 102*. Forty percent chance of thunderstorm tomorrow with small reduction in temperature and back to 98-100* for Thursday through Saturday. Not spending more than a couple of early morning hours doing outside chores.

It's 90°F right now with a high predicted to be 92. Only the 90s forecasted for the next several days. At least it’s not the 100s, which some are experiencing right now and I'm sure we'll be getting our fair share of too.

Whoa! We're getting a light sprinkle today, which is most welcome, but it looks like serious rain in your area!

On the other hand, rain makes the green stuff grow.

That's cold? Our overnight low was 49F, or 9 degrees Canadian!

Our forecast into early next week is for highs in the upper 70's F, except for a bump to 85F on Sunday.....

Heat and humidity makes it's way back today with rain tomorrow. Somewhat of a cool down for one day early next week then warm and hopefully rain holds off later in the week.
