Summertime

Posted by: deherf, 8:23 PM GMT on July 28, 2007

Well, I hope summer's going well for everyone. We've had some pretty hot days out this way and then some pretty wet and cool days too.

July 11, 2007 was the hottest I've seen in the Olympia area in quite awhile. Our outdoor thermometer showed 103+ Fahrenheit in the shade at 5:00 p.m. and the Kestrel showed 104+ degrees Fahrenheit in the direct sunlight... 112+ Fahrenheit on the deck (which is painted dark brown).

The official reading for Olympia at the airport was a record 99 degrees Fahrenheit.

Either way, that's HOT for around here. We're just not used to that type of stuff and if you've ever been to western Washington you know we get a bit more than our fair share of "condensation"... this "condensation" couple with those temperatures adds up to a very hot and humid afternoon.

Not pretty.

Even the dogs hated me.

No, it wasn't fun Amy. How's things your way? The next three months are going to be hopping up here I believe. Things are dry and next week everything's warming up again. LOL... yah, shorts and tank top... when I have to dress up. Member Since: May 28, 2003 Posts: 11 Comments: 14
