now i am hot

Wonder how much hotter till the hinges start meltin

[GREENCOUNTYPETE]

108 is what my thermometer said wednesday , thursday , and friday for a high 90 before 9am 100+ by noon

and it isn't cooling off at night at midnight it is 80 some somthing

we usually don't see triple digits but a day or two a year at most and a week in the 90s

no rain

no fun

just hot

it even gets humid feels like rain at times then just passes over

the A/C that normally is on for a week or two a year has been running non stop , it won't even touch the second story so the kids have been sleeping in the living room for almost 2 weeks.

i might expect something like this if i lived in the south

and the Bering Straits still haven't cleared of ice nor has Hudson's Bay become ice free (should have happened weeks ago). North America above 50 degrees north is still well below normal temp wise. It is all in where the jet stream sits

sunny and 75 here. We may have to deal with cold snowy winters but Id take it any day over 100 degree plus weather. We might have 3 or 4 days in the 90s every year but most of the summer is in the 70s. I can dress and get along fine in the cold but when it gets in the 90s im about house bound sitting in the ac.

I tell ya how hot it is in KS, the crab grass is wilting.

I have been without an air conditioner for two and a half weeks, started off at 106 but the humidity was 8% not 80% makes a huge difference, now stuck in the mid 90's humidity is 30% which is high for us. It is supposed to be fixed tomorrow.

Gotta love the desert w/its 40* splits. 102/65 yesterday,98/61 today, 102/65 tomorrow. Only places on the planet where you can be burned to death by the sun and freeze to death by the moon on the same day.

Heat index as I write 96/92 w/7% humidity dew point 25* .

[DCM]

Temp. here right now is 105F humidity 99%, heat index 199!

Just plain miserable in the direct sunlight. No breeze at the present time either.

Supposed to be a cold one tomorrow just the high eighties.

Here in N/E NE we are done for the year all the crops are gone. We haven't had ran since the end June and we have been 95 to 100+ every day. Our May rainfall was way under normal too. Even the corn that grew a little did not fill out enough for sileage.

I lived in NW Florida for a couple of years in the late fifties.
The heat was hard to take for a Washington boy.
It was a hundred degrees and a hundred percent humidity for weeks at a time.
In 1960 I settled in SW Washington.
Since then I have only briefly left Washington where today the forecast is for
73/55 and showers.
A perfect day in paradise is 68 degrees and overcast.

Late winter here saw most of the tree limbs fall off due to the weight of freezing rain and rhyme ice. I had several whole trees fall.
Our spring was cold and wet and even the wild woods blackberries are just now starting to turn red. Garden is retarded. Just in the last week have we had fresh snow peas and leaf lettuce. Three attempts to get corn seed to germinate, too cool.
I think I will be able to cope.
It's got to be heartbreaking to watch your crops burn up. It is just only dissapointing when your garden doesn't grow. I hope that another year brings way better conditions for all.




Life is good

Heat index is just a way to fake up a bigger, worse sounding number.

Of course the actual temp is probably 109F or something which is pretty darned hot.

Drink plenty of fluids and be careful. My Dad gave himself a heart attack sitting out in the
heat a few weeks ago.
