How Hot Is It?

Almost 100 and sunny every day last week, and maybe the week before that and all this week and I love it, it might rain Thursday.
 
Low 90s here in Indiana today and pretty fair humidity, but not oppressive unless standing in the sun on asphalt. I am expecting a hot summer and lots of mosquitos, so I hope I am proven wrong. Allergens have been high this year and have made for a tiresome spring. :rolleyes:
 
The weather reporting staion around the corner from the house is saying that currently it is 86* F and falling with a relative humidity of 74%. Lots of thunder boomers outside right now (2159 CDT). Hopefully we will get some rain out of them. High today was 104* and the highest humidity was 86%, both recorded at 1645 (GMT-5). Heat index at that time was 112*. Thank GOD my AC is working and pitty the fool that tries to steal my compressor for the copper, like happened three doors down while they where on vacation. Lets just say that someone will get the 220V/60A shock of their life if they mess with the chain link fence around and on top of my AC.

By the way this is near Memphis
 
Not sure, but it might have made 100 today here in West Tennessee. If not, it was darned close. Forecast is for upper 90s all week. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the humidity. That's been running around 80% or more lately.
Currently here at roughly 10:00pm: Temperature is 81 degrees, Humidity is 85%. :eek:

Its gonna be a long miserable summer. :(
 
yeah, but its a dry heat. Never forgot a old cartoon of some guys in hell hearing that!
 
It was forecast to hit 107 here in the Valley of the Sun today, but I left early for the high country of Zane Grey's "Tonto Rim" and the Colorado Plateau, and didn't drop back onto the desert floor until around sundown. It was intermittently raining and mid-80's up high, high 90's down here upon my return. I'd set the thermostat at 80 when I left this morning, and that seemed refreshingly cool when I walked in the door...
 
Hit 109 here in the Mohave, West Coast of Arizona. Thought it was gonna get really hot but it didn't make it so far. Wife was complaining about the temp in the pool being chilly, it's only up to about 88 so we gotta leave the solar covers on for awhile longer.

All joking aside, the dry air does make a difference. I'm from South Texas, I know what humidity and heat are like. In this dry climate it's a bit different. I got out of the pool awhile ago and even standing in the sun I was chilly. Although it's pushing triple digits, the pool water evaporates so quickly that it actually leaves you feeling chilled !

What HoustonRick said.. Hot damp and sticky-not necessarily a bad thing depending on what one is referring to, but regarding weather, it is what it is.
 
Much too hot, for man or beast... and for all plant life. We sure could use some rain right about now!

Hey, stop that talk about rain! We had one of the wettest Mays on record, and June hasn't been exactly dry! But I have to tell ya oldfella, this oldgal is tired of this heat too! Cooled off yesterday to 91 from 99 the day before, with a heat index of 110! Can't even cool off in the pool! At least you guys can run around topless!
 
Made it to 100 today. Had a nice surprise afternoon shower to cool things down though.
 
Last night was 74 degrees... clear skies with a slight breeze..

Tonight is... actually nicer :) I mean.. perfect. The only thing that could make it better is beer.
 
We went to St George today. 102 degrees. We live north up 6,000 ft. It always runs 12 to 15 degrees cooler here. Years ago the heat bothered me a lot more. Now I take blood thinner, but I wouldnt recomend takeing it to just be cooler!
 
At least you guys can run around topless!

Not so fast my friend. There is a city ordinance against me going outside without a shirt on.
 
Cool Here

Today was the first day in the 90's since last September here in Michigan. Spring has been unusually cool and wet. Rain storms hit fast dumping rain faster than it can soak in or run off. Ponds and rivers are at their bank tops or already over. There was speculaton this might be the year without a summer because all spring we were about 10 degrees under average for daily highs but I guess summer has now arrived, just a wet one.

I have enough problems as it is, with women walking by just to take a look at this old hunk... can you imagine what would happen if I start to take it off? :D
