That would at least be a "dry" heat.


This is more of what it's like in Louisiana

Not really, It has been unseasonably mild in most of the country while excessive heat in the deep south due to a high pressure that has parked over it.

I’ve been checking out temps down there since most my fam is still in Prairieville. Crazy we are not much north of you and temps are average 20 degrees cooler per day and we’re getting more rain than usual this time of year. Probably the mildest summer in Middle TN since I moved here in 2002

Y’all deserve a break.

If you live in Louisiana then you know how to handle the heat. Take a swim or a cool shower. Sit in front of a fan. Use the air conditioner. Drink a cold beer. Tell the wife to make you a sandwich for supper instead of heating up the kitchen with the stove. Repeat each day until a cold front comes through.

Desert? No more like take a hot shower and stay in the bathroom all day. I’d take a desert dry heat over the soupy heat all day.

I’m in Washington state this week on Whidbey Island, just got back from checking the dungenuss crab pots, going to have a boil in a little bit. High today is 76, and there’s a nice breeze.

Drinking a beer and watching the seals sun themselves.








Praying for a cold front before I fly home to Lafayette on Sunday

Amazing how people act like ungodly heat isn’t completely normal for summers in Louisiana. Only difference between this summer and the past few is this one has been really dry, which happens every few years


Statistically it is in fact hotter than normal

quote:

After the hottest June & July on record in Lafayette/Acadiana, we pretty much know that August is on track to obliterate the all-time record too, with an average high so far of 101.7° (normal is 92.3°) and an average low of 79.9° (normal is 74.7°) yielding an average of 90.8°...way ahead of the all time hottest month...and 7.3 warmer than the average of 83.5°! You'll feel the pain in your utility bill for sure. Other than a couple of days in the next two weeks, and barring any tropical surprises, it appears that we will continue to see mostly 100°+ highs to almost finish out the month!
