HOT !!! At least for me.

[Charlie Two Tracks]

The temperature here at Geneseo, Illinois got to 100 deg. today with a heat index of 120. I know a bunch of you guys have had this heat for a long time but it was HOT out on Interstate 80 today. We were patching potholes with a tar that was at 160 deg. and then you mixed in 3/8 ths chip rock in it. Hotter tomorrow and we will be doing it again, but it is work and it pays well so I just have to wait till we put the snow plows on in November.

That's gotta be a bummer because the humidity was 94% here south of Dayton. At my age, I ain' t leaving the AC. I would be in the ER in about ten minutes! I patched potholes in California when I was 18 in 100 degree heat, but it was a dry heat.

[Muddy Creek Sam]

Welcome to Summer in SC was 103* today without the Heat Index.

Temperature at the house right now is 109, but hey it's only 51% humidity!
So much for Arizona dry heat theory.
If I can't get to the range before 7 AM, I ain't going

Yes it was hot spent 6 hours on Higgins lake the water at the surface varied between 73 and 83 degrees that is warm for that lake. The fish were not biting and I marked very few with fishfinder also. Now how to keep cool tomorrow?

[Guesser]

We were at 96 with 13% Relative, and a light breeze, not too bad

[mongo]

Was 90 here today, humidity was so high you could see it. Just got a stormlake .40 for my glock and some lee dies to cast 175tc boolits. Heat will be here till Sunday. Only 60 more days till it becomes cool again. Im gettin too old for the heat.

[Bad Water Bill]

It was so hot here on the far SOUTH side of Chicagoland that my stash of lino is starting to slump.

[Southern Son]

I rode a motorcycle to work this morning at 2:30am. It was about 7 or 8 degrees C (about 45 F). I live out of town which means 15 minutes at 60mph. By the time I got to work I couldn't undo my helmet. I moved here to get away from cold weather, I mean, the Tropic of Capricorn is just up the road!

[azcruiser]

When it]s still over 100 degrees and it's 3AM you know it was a hot day .Or the cans of pop in your lunch bag explode that's a sign

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

This Heat just $uck$ !!!
the only AC unit in the house is a little one in the bedroom,
it can't keep up in this heat, the house is at 85º
But, at least it pulls the humidity out of the house.


AND THE RAIN !!! Wholly Krap !!!
I wish my friends in TX and other dry places could share
in MN's excess rain. Glencoe has had 7 storms in the last 8 days.
totaling about 6 inches of rain (this on top of a abnormally wet spring)
This is Not a record by any means, but
we don't need it, water standing in the farm fields and our
creeks/rivers in the area are going to flood stage for the 3rd time
this season...that is unusal.

No rain, hot, we break a record today that was set in '53 of 26 days above 100, Childress, TX is working on 58 days above 100 most of the time 105-115. In seven months we have had only 1.60" moister, last year we had 18.5" by this time normal is 11", grass will not grow even watering it, no bees, or wasp, so the garden is not producing. The only thing you can sit in the yard at night with not one mosquito or bug bothering you. Noticed the stores are well stocked on the citrinella candles as there is no demand at all. Looking forward to cold weather as I can stay warm but it is hard to stay cool.
PS and I remember the record set in '53!

[jpatm2]

Yeah, it is horrible here too. Gonna get up to the mid 70's by the end of the week. I don't know how I will handle it.
Seriously, summer has yet to visit here in Tacoma, WA.

[1Shirt]

About the same in Omaha! Close to or at 100 mark for the last week, no rain, heat index in the 115-120 range. Electricity bill for AC will be thru the roof.

When it comes to heat, I am ever so grateful of where I live (SLC), especially when I hear of people that I work with enjoying a nice balmy 140 in southern Iraq. It usually cools off overnight to the upper 90's or so. At least it is a dry heat though. Oh, and did I mention the dust storms? Yup, just like in the movies.

And I feel like I am dying when it tops 105 in Salt Lake City!

[wildwilly]

Last night it was 92F at 10pm (typical). This morning I loaded up my pickup with all my shooting gear, which included four rifles and two handguns to go to the range before the temps got above 100F. My wife informed me this am that the well went dry. So, I spent the last two hours back flushing the line that supplies water from the canal. The line spit out a catfish that was clogging the water line (2 inch pipe). It's gonna be about 108F today (and it's not gonna be a dry heat). Y'all enjoy your day.

[Changeling]

It's 102 on my deck right now with 82% humidity, absolutely to hot to do anything outside with that humidity!

[Lloyd Smale]

95 here and this yankee cant stand it. I dont know how you guys down south live in this **** daily. Id rather have it 20 and snowing anyday then have this! Luckily we only have to deal with it a couple days a summer. Temps usually hang in the 70s here in the summer.

[GRUMPA]

After moving out of Phoenix up to the mountains 6k elevation, 95deg outside really isn't all that bad. But as I'm typing I got the swamp cooler just hittin my back back as well. When I can look outside and see my chickens with their beaks open and them panting away, the only way I'm going outside is if the house is burning.

[wallenba]

It's all Al Gores fault for inventing global warming!! Seriously though, I have not left the house today, and tomorrow will be at least 100 here. We are not used to this in this part of the country.
