It is noticeably cooler now than it was as recently as a week ago and the forecast doesn't show any predicted warming.

I sure hope it is because I would be able to get away with just running the A/C during the late afternoon.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16810730 Wed, 30 Aug 2006 19:25:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16803162 fozngoof : :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16803162 Tue, 29 Aug 2006 17:31:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16790682 buttoni : fozngoof, I moved to Temple 4 years ago.

But at least it's a DRYER heat here than in the Galveston area I was in for thirty years.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16783521 Sat, 26 Aug 2006 12:14:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16742853 jamesv : This has not been a hot year. It has been unusually dry - we normally get more rain - but not hot.

Most years central Texas sits under a high pressure dome fed by the jet stream starting from mid summer through September or so. This keeps away any tropical or gulf moisture that might come inland. Usually there are a few breaks in the high pressure pattern as the summer goes along, but not really this year and the tropics have been quiet anyway.

We also haven't had a really cold winter in a few years either. We really need a good hard freeze to kill some of the insect population.

The highest temperature I've ever seen at my house (heavily wooded) since I started logging in 1999 is 106F and the lowest 26F (that may not be reliable). I saw 114F in 1999 on I-35 near the old Mueller airport.

From memory I think McSummation is right - May is the wettest month of the year (normally) and April is second wettest.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16742853 Sun, 20 Aug 2006 04:51:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16723355 DrTCP : Today (well actually yesterday 8/16 now) was 108 according to outside temperature reading in my Toyota.

Everyone's foundations are having problems & we're under such tight watering restrictions it's not even funny, not to mention insane A/C bills. Check out this thread:

(I might be exagerating a little, but I don't think so)

I asked my wife if we moved directly to hell, or just a subburb. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16709653 Tue, 15 Aug 2006 07:14:25 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16689127 alg : I think it has been relatively cool this year. Dry and highs not going past 100.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16689127 Fri, 11 Aug 2006 18:04:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16688809 McSummation : Hot? It's not hot. You want hot, wait until it's 105 like it's been some times. 100+ for 3 weeks in a row is when things really start to dry out. (Think - "last year".)

April and, especially, May are usually rainy. Then, about the 2nd week of June it quits and won't start again until late September, unless we get some tropical stuff blow through.

I've been in Round Rock for 28 years, and 12 before that in Clear Lake City (between Houston and Galveston).

It's been horrible these past few weeks. The heat is normal, the lack of rain and humidity is not. (At least in my experience these last 5 years)
