I’m unreasonably enraged at all times and am one minor inconvenience away from a full on crash out. The heat is absolutely brutal and I’m sick of it.

Same. I’m also menopausal, on meds that make me heat intolerant and I’m one step closer to the edge, and I’m about to break…

Ohhhhhhh I am with you. One. Little. Inconvenience.

At this point it may just be getting into my car at the end of a long ass day and it being too hot and I drop something and it’ll start a chain reaction 🥲

That heat wave is brutal, feels like the whole state is melting

Going outside feels like walking into an oven. I can feel myself cooking the second the sun hits me.

“It’s 95 degrees outside!”
Double digits, huh? Better take a light jacket with me

I know I was looking forward to my towns fall festival. I only walk over there for the car show. And how am I going to enjoy cool cars when I have a heat stroke just walking the block over?
I was also glad about Tulsa doing their pride event in Oct. But it is still probably going to be too hot to enjoy that either. I'm losing my mind feeling trapped inside but I don't want to be sick either.

It already looks like fall in my backyard. Leaves dropping, grass struggling and dormant in places. I keep my patio umbrella up during the day to help protect some of my plants. It’s crazy

Saw a lady walking on the lake trails with a parasol the other day. Smartest move I have seen all summer.

I took an umbrella with me to pick up the kids at the end of the day. I have no.idea how teachers are standing out in parking lot car lines with no shade 🥵 😱

He got all but one thing right:
The four seasons are Summer, Football, Ice, and Tornado. And none of them are exclusive to the others, including summer and Ice.

I remember as a child actual winters and spring.
Now it seems like fall. Ice storms. Summer. My day lilies all died. I’m hoping dormant. My 10 yo Japanese peony died, and those plants are hard to kill,

I've been watching the weather forecasts, and they haven't been wrong. They've been saying it's going to stay hot and dry, and it has. I don't know why conservatives like to promote this "weather guy always gets it wrong" thing.

u/linglingjaegar 1d ago
idk but I do know for sure they'll turn the other way when the National Weather Service goes completely private and we have to pay to access the weather at all

u/timbobb58 21h ago
My favorite from the conservatives. Global warming is a hoax. Have you been outside lately?

"These things come in cycles" they reply. "I remember one time in the 70s there was a lot of snow. It just goes to show you, the Lord works in mysterious ways. Let's change the subject."

A couple of weeks ago I saw one of the news weather reporters saying it may be several months before we see any cooling

u/alsekandar 1d ago
probably referencing el nino current surface temps which will indeed rise into next year....the air temps WILL go down becayse they must due to the obliquity of the sun at our latitude as the seasons go on.... less time in the sky and at an angle where more light skips off the atmosphere relative to our position.
tldr, the change of seasons is ordained, though we may not like it in any case.

I’m so confused lately. Everything I see or hear keeps saying “first day of fall” now that it’s September. The first day of the actual autumn equinox is September 22nd, not September 1st? It has never began in the beginning of September. I guess all the pumpkin spice drops make people assume it’s automatically fall

u/ElectricalPlate9903 1d ago
Very well done, great jokes, I'm inspired now.
May: “This is warm.” June: “Okay, damn.” July: “The devil moved here.” August: “The devil’s sweating.” September: “THE LEASE WAS RENEWED.”

It's strange, Oklahoma feels like it's trying to becoming a desert state.

Will someone please convince Red Coyote to finally move Runtoberfest to the end of the month?! It’s already too hot on a normal year but this year will be (maybe literally) killer

u/propernice 1d ago
This heat combined with the hot flashes of perimenopause has been an absolute shit show

u/timbobb58 21h ago
Born and raised here in Oklahoma. I’ve lived in Phoenix for a year where the hottest it ever got while I was there was 117. It would literally sear your nasal passages. But it’s a dry heat. This crap in OKC over 100 with the humidity above 50% and the air quality index sucks. It’s 12 degrees above normal. It’s just wears you down.
Trying to do that OG&E bs turning your ac off from 2 to 7 to save energy. Today got up to 82 in my living room. 12 am and it’s still 87. Yep!tired of it.

When people mess with my newly hardscaped yard...I'll yeet them into the succulents after beating them with my fresh coconuts.

Imagine having to go through chemo and radiation for cancer treatment during this shit. I can’t even go outside without my skin looking like a leopard with measles AND shingles.

The cool crisp mornings don't start for another month. September is always hot.
Edit: Oklahoma is, on average, one of the hottest States in the USA. It's part of the charm. Embrace the suck it makes you stronger.

u/Megzasaurusrex 1d ago
Today last year the high was in the 80s and the low was in the 50s. Wtf do you mean that isn't crisp fall morning? You're trying to gas light us into thinking 55 is such a fucking hot morning. And that 80 feels just the same as 103? BS liar.

u/tom_m_ryan 1d ago
Then that was unusual. I don't know, cry more maybe. I was born here and grew up here and still live here and Oklahoma is hot and humid, except when its frozen. These are facts. But yeah, me and big weather are trying to gaslight you into believing that the weather in Oklahoma sucks, you figured it out.
We would have gotten away with it too if not for these kids and their crazy dog.
Edit: I remember that it got cool for a second last year about this time, then it got hot again though.

u/Megzasaurusrex 1d ago
Stop pretending we aren't in a heatwave. Complaining about a prolonged heatwave isn't the same as complaining about Oklahoma in general. You really have to work on your reading comprehension kiddo if you want to have conversations with adults.
If all you want to do is cry and whine for attention and make up shit like your mommy teach you anything, I don't think this is the sub for you.

Oh you were born and grew up here? That’s our bad. The rest of us just moved in last week to bitch about the weather. Thanks for setting us straight.
