Weather here is trippin' me out a little

116 degrees a couple weeks back, in the PNW, about 20 miles from Canada. And 100+ for weeks on end.

Tripping me out A LOT.

What state is it?

Warm nights and days here up at 9000 ft Colorado. Even with rain it's staying warm. Not complaining because usually for the last 10 years we average 57 degrees. My garden and mushrooms are going bananas!

Yeah, youse guyses were even hotter than us. At about 108 degrees, it starts to get rough, at least for me and my AC. I shudder to think of more than that. Ack.

I'm in southern New Mexico, 100 miles north of the border. I'd tell you the name of the town, but GLP changes the name to gobbledygook. I'm about 13 miles from Holloman AFB.

Arizona desert 82 right now.

Last year at this time over 110 for days on end!!!

This lull in the southwest is due to Monsoon and much appreciated and needed..

Heat Dome is setting up to bake many..

Thread: Another Heat Dome is setting up. This one further east...

its been in the 30s here in the UK , and its too hot ha ha, cant fuckin sleep, it seems to get hotter at night and more humid

The thing is, the heat this year even feels different. The temp will say 80 degrees but I swear this year it feels like the sun is straight up searing my skin off. Impossible to find any sort of comfort in.

Wow, I'd think it would be more like a 100 in that area.

Happy for you to be getting rain and cool weather!

Yes, my son's garden is growing like gangbusters. He texted me pics of it yesterday. His babies are growing up....

His "weeds" are looking very good....young, but filling out nicely and quickly. I'm so glad it's legal to grow here now. I've gotten my seeds, waiting for the opening to begin those.

Lucky you, it's 105 here right now

Tell my 4 tomato plants that the 5,000 tomatoes they produced can turn red and ripen ANY DAY NOW.

That is weird weather there for this time of year.

I miss NM :(

You’re welcome

I was making rain and still might idk

I’m in a calmer mood

When I first moved here everyone was talking about the monsoon season. I thought, "what is this fuckery, monsoon season?"....heh, I lived in the Philippines when I was a little girl, these people couldn't of been talking about a monsoon, in the desert....

These are just little monsoons, but I whole heartedly agree with you, they are VERY welcomed. I've been through five summers here, and only two of them have had any monsoon season, my first and this one. All three of those years in between, I was praying for a monsoon.

It's really beautiful what is doing to the Sacramento Mts. I see out my back door. They get all fuzzy-green. I love it.

I'm still listening to the rolling thunder, although the rain has stopped....

Yes, the sun is like a tyrant for years now. White freaking hot. While out in midday, I move as fast as I can to get out from underneath it...heh, I need to remember to get a 'brella....

It really does feel different. I noticed it last year. This year it's miserable. I live in the Blue Ridge mountains and it's been in the upper 80's and not really that humid, but walking outside mid afternoon feels like I've opened my oven door after an hour of baking.

I love it. I love the heat

It took me awhile to get used to living in the desert. I had always lived by bodies of water and trees/vegetation before....heh, when I first saw the Sac Mtns I thought they looked like they had been snatched bald. No trees....lol, I was going through tree withdrawal.

Now I love it. It can't be compared to anything else. The mountains are awe inspiring.

Yeah, there are bigger mountains out there, but they don't have the same energy the ones here do.

I went out yesterday, and the energy bleedthrough was remarkable....

The Land of Enchantment, or the Land of High Strangeness?....or perhaps a bit of both. Whatever, it's a land conducive to "woo-woo."

And I do believe New Mexico misses you, too. Come home, lovey. This is where it's all supposed to begin....

I go to Hobbs occasionally

I've been in AZ for 5 decades.

There is a monsoon season. It's a shift in the wind pattern bringing tropical moisture north.

Right now there is a large heat dome that has reformed.

It started in the Idaho region last week and is now reforming over eastern Colorado. This high pressure dome spins clockwise. It sent southern moisture into Canada which seems to be lingering.

This is the best monsoon since 2006. The last 2 years were really weak...

Rolling thunder is awesome - flash-flooding not so much!

I could go on for days about NM. All of NM has a certain...magic? Maybe that's not the right word but it's close. It's like it's one step out of everyone else's reality.

And I'm actually trying to get back there as we speak. With any luck at all, I will succeed.

Until I retired this year, I drove for a living. I hadn't been that far east. I've been as far as Carlsbad to the east, Demming to the west, Santa Fe to the north, and El Paso, TX to the south.

I've had the great pleasure to see quite a bit of the State, but there is more to see. I definitely would like to visit Taos one day, and especially the four corners area. There's some "energy sense" I want to get with there, and I'd rather do it in person.

Sacramento Mountains NICE

You're not too far from Truth or Consequences (Virgin Galactic Earth Port), Roswell and White Sands.

Did you see the mud flash-flood in White Sands a bit ago??

Four Corner states have a lot of moisture right now.. like central America tropical.

Most of my experience is with the Taos area.

The energy there is...unique. Very, very old. Beyond words.

Beware, if the mountain calls your name, you will be drawn back there, one way or another. Many have been called over the years.

I'm in the central oregon high desert and it's business as usual

Heh, I've wondered how fast I can move to get my doors blocked with blankets, and me and my cat up off the floor, if ever I look out my back door and see a huge wall of water coming down the mountains.

I've already been in a flash flood once here while working. I was driving....it was something else. Cars on the side of the road. People out, soaking wet. I took what I thought was the safest route back home after dropping my client off, but forgot about one "dip." I knew this dip, figured I'd make it, came close to not making it, the water was moving so fast, harhar, but got to the other side and home, where I found water had come into my apartment, but only enough to soak my rug....henceforth, why I have quilts rolled up and put away, easy to reach, in case they're ever needed.

They've been building aquaducts around here lately, this good....until I saw some of the HUGE concrete pipe pieces they're putting in the ground.

I saw those pipe pieces, they must've been 18 ft. wide, they dwarfed men, and I was all like.... what are they expecting, a biblical flood?

The things that make one to say, "ummmm, what the hell?", huh?

Life on the Big Bluesy Marble, eh?....harhar

I'm very close to White Sands, both of them, the Range and the National Monument. I've traveled past and through them hundreds of times going to and from Las Cruces.

What I heard was that the San Augustin pass had a landslide, and had been shutdown, this within I think the last week or so. I hadn't heard about flash flooding at White Sands....heh, I don't get out much anymore, so I'm not getting info from others.
