San Antonio experienced a heat index number of 117 degrees today - the highest seen since they started keeping records. We are in for at least another two weeks of similar heat and it’s quite early in the summer - July and August are the normal “hot” months…
I was out baling hay on Saturday for almost 5 hours and it was certainly a warm experience.
I remember 117 degrees without the fancy "heat index" shenanigans.
These men and their hypnotized followers call this a new order. It is not new. It is not order.
fancy heat index shenanigans. WOW!
Was only 107 air temp…that’s no hill for a climber!Originally Posted by deces
The "Heat Index" was only introduced in the early 1980's. Before that, most of us seasoned members remember the weather Man (No Weather Goils back then) simply telling us "It's going to be hot tomorrow".

62 deg.F here in WY , we saw 82 a few days ago for about twenty minutes . Plenty of rain to go with it, mushrooms are everywhere and delicious .
No doubt about that.Was only 107 air temp…that’s no hill for a climber!

I retired from delivering mail there a few years ago.

They say "it's a dry heat "

In my opinion , June heat with its high humidity is worse than the dry heat of July and August- based on my 64 Texas summers so far.
It’s too damn hot out there to be out in it for very long, that’s for sure!

I guess I shouldn't complain about 82°
Anybody still have their "I survived the 1980 Texas Heat Wave' T shirt?

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

I was here in 1980 but 2011 was real bad. Something like 50-60 days over 100.
5 months of 100+ every year here....

I don't know what a "heat index" is but when I look at a thermometer I know what the temperature is. I have never seen 117 but I have seen 112 on a thermometer. At that temp you actually can fry an egg on the sidewalk.
I was working in a open shop back then with a metal roof.
In the office area, the West end of the building heated up more than the air conditioners could handle.
One of the office women came out in the shop for something and complained about the office not being cool enough in the afternoon.
It was WELL over a 100, and I told her she was more than welcome to move her desk out in the shop with us.
You'd think I slapped her with a wet fish, and she never spoke to me again.

When it gets to 100 here in MO, riding the motorcycle to work feels like my wife’s hair dryer blowing in my face for 40min straight. Beats riding in the car tho.
Sometimes that's a good thing. Ah, most times.
Nope. But I sure remember that summer
2011 was bad across the whole south. Had moved here to NW Arkansas in 2010 and 2011 was a tough summer, many days above 100 where few are usually seen. 90 plus the rest of this week into next week, which is early. Gonna be a hot one. Buckle up and keep as Kool as possible guts. Heat kills.
