What's with the weather this year?

Weather this year is weird as hell in California. At this time of the year, it should be around 80-95F but right now it feels like 55F outside. In the day time it's about 70F. We just had rain last week and this NEVER happens in July. Come to think of it, the sky was dark like it was going to rain today.

How is the weather where you are?

Outside a couple days this entire year has been unusually cold. I think this past decade was the first in almost a century where global temperatures actually dropped.

We need rain, and lots of it. It's never been this dry and hot in Texas. The lake by my house has disappeared and grass is now in it's place. My driveway has shifted up and down a bit and cracked. I wouldn't mind if we got a hurricane at least it would bring lots of rain.

Kind of creepy. I don't believe in those wacky theories, but I would think twice about 2012 at this rate. LOL.

I think we got an amazing amount of rainfall this year. I know that they hiked up our water rate because we have a surplus and our usage for my county was going down.

Very dry and windy with 102+ temperatures everyday. I've been wondering where all the cool air and rain went...

It's so damn hot that 95 in the evening feels pretty comfortable.

He told me that was the best damn answer he ever heard.

We have had above normal temps down here. The lows are in the low 80's with 90% humidity and the high's in the mid 90's. Looking forward to much cooler weather, my car likes it much better also ...

Can't really complain here. We've had a pretty normal spring/summer so far. It's been really hot for the past few days, but before that it's been 80's and lower 90's for the majority of the time which is normal for this time of year in Missouri.

Don't feel bad, here in Michigan the weather has been strange also!!! First stayed cold longer than normal and went into heavy rains and now it is hotter than normal and we need rain!!! Go figure.

You guys can have all the rain we have been getting. The Weather Channel shows us as having rain everyday for the next 10 freaking days.
