6.6.2012 / Day 79 of Spring / 109° Heat Index / To those who say "I just hate it when it's rainy AND cold at the same time," I say "You must never have had to try and wear a raincoat or hoodie when it's 109° out." / #skotjay_weather_journal @accuweather #accuweather

tachycardiclove: 109?!??????
smilecin: Yikes! I feel clammy just thinking about it. I grew up in FL, and I don't miss the endless heat & humidity.✨
skotjay: @nurse_moth Yuh. The temp is starting to drop a little now, but has been miserable all day. @smilecin I won't miss it, either, when I'm not here anymore
olivesandpickles: Happy birthday buddy!!! Enjoy a slice of cake for me!
skotjay: @olivesandpickles Thanks! I will!
skotjay: @tachycardiclove yup, it was 112° yesterday, going to be getting REALLY hot soon!

skotjay: #autumn #leaves
sweetsassypants: The leaves will be gone soon enough and the trees will be nekkid until spring. Like you, I'm going to enjoy them while I can. Autumn is my favorite season, primarily because of the leaves.
skotjay: @sweetsassypants Woohoo!! nekkid!! I thing I'll do the same. I'll probably enjoy that, too. I think I'm going to like these "seasons" you guys have. Oh wait, I mean that WE have!
kristiinah: You'd love Finland what's 54F in Celcius?
tachycardiclove: What weather app is that
skotjay: @kristiinah 12° @tachycardiclove "InstaWeather PRO" isn't it gorgeous!!
tachycardiclove: Yeahhhhhhhhhh! D/l now!

aleahanne: Right now I would love some 80 degree days haha.
skotjay: @aleahanne are you in a warmer or colder area?
aleahanne: Much colder, 30's-40's. We had snow/rain yesterday. It's been crappy here for awhile now.
skotjay: @aleahanne I guess no one is happy, because that sounds amazing! Bear in mind that the sweaty, hair-frizzing humidity that is a 86° heat index is what we're stuck with for "winter." The temp will only steadily climb from here. You would think that being ranked in the top 10 rainiest cities in the U.S. and the top 10 most humid would cool Lake Charles off a bit, but not so... (we also rank in the top 10 for number of thunderstorms per year).
aleahanne: Oh yeah, I actually like the rain and cold, but would love a little break. It rains a lot here haha (Seattle). I understand the hot and getting hotter tho. I lived in PHX for 10 years. It never cooled down, and in july/August/September we got the monsoons so it was humid. I just hope we (in Seattle) actually get summer this year, we didn't get one last year.
skotjay: @aleahanne Yeah, we actually vacationed in Seattle last July. I kept checking the weather back here in Louisiana, seeing the 114° heat indexes and saying... our days in the South are numbered. P.S., if you get the chance, you should Google the inches /year of rainfall that Seattle averages, then compare it to the inches/year of rainfall that Lake Charles, LA averages

dawndilion: WOW!!!
skotjay: @dawndilion yeah, this aggression will not stand, man.
dawndilion: I freak out a little when it's super hot and humid. Your wife mentioned the heat the other day & it sounded perfect, even if it was midnight. But 101' yuck.
skotjay: @dawndilion too funny. I wasn't privy to that convo, but the key to putting those midnight temps in perspective is to remember that the 80° (or whatever) it was at midnight is the coolest it's going to get, that's the "cooling off" that you get to sleep in

skotjay: @insitu It's raining and 93° right now, you sure about that envy? Before you answer, know that I live in Lake Charles, one of the top 10 rainiest U.S. cities.
insitu: You convinced me, staying in Vancouver !!!
skotjay: @insitu Yuh, the weather sucks here, we're moving to Seattle this summer, and I don't care if I ever see the sun again!

candykay: It's been fantastic!!
olivesandpickles: What weather app is that?!
sweetsassypants: @olivesandpickles: I'm guessing accuweather since he tagged that. But, I'm also curious.
sweetsassypants: @olivesandpickles: indeed! I followed the tag and it looks like #accuweather // then went to the app store and am downloading as I type. Looks cool and he price is right.
skotjay: @olivesandpickles @sweetsassypants Correct, it's Accuweather. I find it to be the most useful because of the RealFeel temps it provides are always pretty much spot on, and for someone who's asthma is dependent on the heat, its essential! Great interface, too.
cynrtst: Perfection
skotjay: @candykay @cynrtst Yeah, this weather was great!

accuweather: Absolutely it is! RealFeel temps staying in the mid to upper 90s in Lake Charles in the coming days!
skotjay: @accuweather Exactly what I was looking at. It's far more useful for knowing what the day is going to be like (and what safety precautions to take) than the temperature will ever be. I have to say, you're little "thermometer" symbol in the forecast for next week made us laugh and groan at the same time !

skotjay: @candykay it is the very definition of "suck"
dreektat: I was out in the sun this last Sunday for 4 hours and was ready to pass out. Took a freaking cold shower and for the rest of the night I could not cool off enough. I was so over heated. This is why I stay indoors, fear of skin cancer and too muchear.
dreektat: Argh! Too much heat, not too muchear.
skotjay: @dreektat I hear ya! I'm the same way, I get overheated very easily. To the point where I am a different person, almost. I get very irritable!
Mar 25: Day 6 of Spring: 93° heat index already! Is it too early to start whining constantly about the heat? Or do I need to wait a bit? #skotjay_weather_journal @accuweather #accuweather

aprilshowers_77: It has been pleasant here lately. The last three weekends have been amazing!!
skotjay: @aprilshowers_77_asf not here in Lake Charles, after non-winter we didn't get, it's already starting to get hot. I think this summer is going to be a rough one...
aprilshowers_77: Well that sucks man!! Hopefully y'all get a break soon. Or a bigger A/C!! Lol

samnason: What a downer! That's beautiful weather! We need to switch states.
skotjay: @samnason Ha! Let's do that! I've had about as much of the sun and heat I can take. What state am I swapping Louisiana for, may I ask?
samnason: New Hampshire. Cold and lately overcast.
skotjay: @samnason Well, now would be a good time to get on down here for a spell, while the heat index is still in the 90°s, that way you can get on back before the heat comes...
love4seattle: Heck yah! Now that's a weather report
accuweather: Hot stuff :)
skotjay: @love4seattle Ha! Why? Would you be happy to have such temps, Nick? @accuweather It is, indeed. I'm pretty bummed about the winter we didn't get. Usually we'll at least get a few cold fronts come in. This year, it was like winter just didn't happen. And 90°+ heat index in April? kinda scary.

aleahanne: Oh my goodness! Crazy!
skotjay: @aleahsherrod yes, it is. I'm done with this heat...
aleahanne: I feel ya, I left AZ for that reason, although at least it been in the 50s there, not 80!
skotjay: It's supposed to be cooling off here pretty soon. Louisiana doesn't get enough credit (read: blame) for how hot and very, very, very, rainy it is. For fun, google "Top 10 Wettest U.S. Cities" and see what you come up with. I live in Lake Charles, LA. We get, on average, 20" more rain per year than Seattle.

skotjay: @mimiwings yeah, this summer was pure. We're still not getting much in the way of winter yet. Summer traumatized us, though. I was born and raised here in Louisiana, and live here pretty much all my life, but we are done with this heat. We're gonna find somewhere else to be
skotjay: *lived
