100+ Degree's and not a cloud in the sky...

That is, until I decide to ditch work a couple hours early and drive to the lake for a quick dive. By the time I get down there we have 30 mile per hour winds, lightning everywhere, very choppy water (for us), and visibilty that is worse than a chocolate malt. Some days you just cant win. Well maybe tomorrow. Since today wasn't my day, who's was it? Did anyone else here have a good dive?

I did that yesterday. Only 97 degrees, though. My buddy and I hit the quarry. It was sheer hell getting suited up in an 8 mm semidry, but it was 44 degrees at 86 ft...I would call it "exhilarating"...

103 in NYC and 108 in Newark. Fortunately, I dived a ways up in CT where it was only 101. For a guy who spent most of life in Northern Manitoba, even gearing up quickly in a shortie was interesting.

Too hot here today for a dive with actual temps reaching 104F and heat index of 115F. Had plans of diving tomorrow but with temps about 100F and heat index of 112F I might have to pass little too hot to be getting suited up and with it 11pm here and still93F doesn't look like its goin to be good.

Man I know what you mean about suiting up. The last time I went a few weeks ago, I just dove skins and swim shorts. I had to stay reasonably shallow, but it felt good to dip in and out of the thermo-cline.

Here we're on the other extreme right now: 12°C or 53F and raining. Changing at a car park in the woods by the lake won't be fun when I go diving later... and we're talking Germany here!

Come to Texas in the summer... We are used to this weather! (Doesn't mean we like it, either. )

I hate summer, especially this one. over 30 days of 100+ temps, almost zero rainfall in the last month. Lakes and rivers are drying and stagnating, so much algea that you can't 3 feet in front of you. Then, if you WANT to dive you have pray you don't get heat stroke just from gearing up.
