Default Too hot to go

We had been hoping to go camping this weekend or in the next few weeks but it has just been too hot to go. It's so miserable outside you can barely catch your breath and the air quality is terrible. Usually we don't see this kind of weather until August!

Sadly that is the way things have been here. I try to get yard work in early in the morning, but by 9am it is getting too hot. I am trying to plan a day of geocaching with friends and family, but with the heat no one wants to do anything. Trying to get someone to go camping and they will try and get you locked.

I think we are going to be spending more time outdoors when it cools off. Comparing this year to last, tons of weather changes have been going on. Last year this time it was much, much cooler.

Yeah, it's looking that way for us too especially with a little one because I definitely don't want her getting too hot. I cut my grass at 7:15 this morning I am sure the neighbors love me now!

Well funny you mentioned it is too hot to camp. I was thinking about setting up the tent in the back yard this weekend. I can keep cool during the day by relaxing in the pool, or in the house a/c. And do no housework, like a vacation at home?

We 're currently camping in Alabama, but we have a camper with AC. Tent camping isn't an option right now because we have a one year old and the heat index has been between 105 and 110 everyday. It is so ridiculously hot it's hard to breathe.

Yeah, us too. We have also had anywhere from 80-90% humidity where we are. I'm not going to be able to walk anywhere for the rest of the summer so I guess I'm going to stay around the campfire and talk and whittle. But yeah, during the day-AC is very welcome.

Usually, we are wishing for warmer weather in my area, but this year it's getting to the point of really not being able to do much outside besides play in the water. I would really like to get in a campout before the school year starts.

That is exactly what I have been thinking. The weather is just too warm - it seems the effects of global warming are really kicking in. At times it can be nice, but certain days I tend to confine myself to my house, let alone go camping.
