BABY, IT'S HOT OUTSIDE

summertime in the city

Forecast for the week...
HOT!!!!

it's like "Why in the name of God are you outside?" hot
Every day, the temperature is a degree higher than the previous day
No rain in sight...
No rain in sight...
And this is only June
Pre-heat summertime
Wow...

Walking out the door you're greeted by the morning humidity
The sweat glands automatically activate
By midday.dark roving clouds move over the city
A sudden downpour drenches the streets
And just as sudden, the sun reappears again
What felt like the scorching heat of a desert, has now become the insufferable heat of an Amazon jungle
We only have ourselves to blame...

We prayed for rain

Author's Note

Hot and humid in Houston, Texas.Not a good combination

Wonderful work! The way you portray the weather here is great. Hopefully all of us in the warmer regions can survive this season!

Forecast to be 90 plus degrees next week on this side of the pond; only warm compared to a lot of places, but for us, phew!!

Beccy.

Hopefully rain is on the way.

it is nothing new here and when it is hot, then it is really hot that is the reason why my country is known for its tropical weather

my parents lived in Port Arthur...i felt that Texas heat...here in Southern Illinois we are experiencing the same kind of June..."hot town, summer in the city, back of my neck feeling dark and gritty"

I think I would melt if I ever spent a summer in Texas! It gets pretty warm in Minnesota during summer, but it's pretty tame in comparison. And at least we northerners don't have to worry about going without rain for more than a few days at a time. Stay strong, compadre.
