I was in Paris for the June 100 degree days and it was not so fun. We left Paris on the 13th of July to be in Portland Oregon for one of the coolest summers I have ever had here! We don’t even have red tomatoes yet!!!!! The weather is so mixed up!!

Hi Gary,
It’s been too hot here although we have had many “pretty” days. But the heat is slowing me down this year. I don’t feel I’ve been out of the air conditioning long enough to adjust. Today, it was 88 degrees F. Tonight, at 10 P.M. when we walked our dogs, it was still 80 degrees. Today, the heat wiped me out at a picnic where there was no swimming in a lake….Swimming would have made it all more enjoyable!
Let’s send you some heat and sun! We’ll trade you for some clouds for a few days.
When we lived in South Carolina years ago, we thought we were chilly if it went below 80 degrees! New Jersey is usually a more moderate climate. Usually we have a hot spell of maybe a week or two max. Then normally we get a break. Hmmmmm. Global Warming? After a very cold winter, here we go with another hot summer this year. We’ll send you some……

I agree about the weather – depressing! I don’t think I’m considered one of the “I heart Paris” bloggers who thinks Paris is perfect. In fact, I have (im)perfect in the title of mine!

Call a spade a spade (a gray day a gray day). Don’t you have some traveling to the sunny South you could do for an article or something? 🙂

On my and my husband’s very first night in Paris, eleven years ago, it poured. The downpour chased us into a bistro for a pastis. Our waiter pointed to someone outside swaying in the downpour, and gave us the twist the nose sign for one who is somewhat inebriated. It was a miserable night, but he made us laugh. We have come back almost every year since and the weather does not matter a bit. J’adore Paris, especially in September.

I can relate to woes about weather. Can’t play tennis when the court is wet, hard to play when it feels like 100 degrees, but give me dry 60-80 days and I’m in my glory.

I’ll send you some of our heat waves to warm you up.

Thanks, Elizabeth. Ten minutes after I posted that the heavy steel wool moved on and a big sheet of shiny aluminum foil took its place, but I’m confident that the rain will come as soon as I decide to go out biking.

Great post, Gary. It’s usually the same weather in London too so I whine all the time. Today is nice and sunny so I was outside in the deck chair (‘working from home’ I told the office) then decided it was too hot so I had to come inside.
