Not to make you feel bad, but it's currently about 70F here. Very cool summer so far in Michigan. They are calling it the second 'coldest' July on record. The use of the term coldest is a bit of an exaggeration, coolest might be more realistic.

90+ here on the West Coast of Canada for as long as I can remember :)
HOT!  But it was a good excuse to get out the boat and take my 80 year old dad for a boot today ;)

Still over 100 here and not going to change for a while. Riding feels like somebody has a hair dryer in your face.

76 today, however some rain is expected later today and most of tomorrow.. Great riding tho. However its been very cool summer so far. Normally its in the upper 80's low 90's and humid this time of year. However thanks to Canada for a cold front that wont go away its been VERY nice for the last few weeks.. :-) No doubt August will be a different story.

They had segment on the news today about the weather in the northwest lately, including this HOT spell. According to the news, few folks have AC in your area as you generally don't need it. I feel for you, hope it breaks soon.

Welcome to tropical Vermont!  It has rained and rained and rained all freaking summer but just in the south of the state.  I am not a fan of rain riding as I like to be a bit comfortable when I do a bit of twisting in the twisties.  I've put about 300 miles on my bikes this summer when I usually do 1k or more.  It is a typical summer with the usual weekend engagements but no time to go explore.  Today was nice until I got some paint out.  Then it rained.  ARRRRGGHHHH!
Now it's hot and raining.
