I feel your pain even up here :innocentwhistle:. It got up to a sweltering 68 today and there was six inch's of snow at Marmot Basin last night. I can hardly wait for winter to cool it down a hundred degrees :whew:.
It was in the high 90's here with sweltering humidity. :whew:

Shoot, it was so warm here last week that my smoke detectors kept going off. :whew:
So hot my thermometer had a meltdown. :doh2:
A bird landed in my bird bath and was instantly deep fried. :rolleye:
The highway dept. had to take up all the blacktop on the roads because it had melted and run into the ditches. :iroll:
It rained for over thirty minutes but the ground never got wet :huh:
Next week is supposed to be even warmer :laugh2:
If it stays this hot, I'm gonna throw away all my pants, just like I did my shirts, Barry.

YEA it's been HOT here too!!! I deal with the cold way better than hot. You can dress for the cold but you can only strip down so far, and it's still hot!!!!
Got me to thinking some of this might not be all bad :biggrin: Just the thought might cool you guys down a bit.

Temps were just under 100 in the shop today. I get a txt from Dung Beetle "This heat wave is killing me. It must be 78 in this van." :laf: What a doucher!
You KNOW it's hot when you’ve experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl..... :laf:
74* here today, and they STILL haven't fixed the air conditioner in my truck. :mad3: :mad3: :mad3:
Supposed to get 99 Degrees here today, going outside is like going into a Steam bath, can't wait till August. :iroll: cc

Pretty warm here also even the dog thinks so

I’d forgotten that asphalt has a liquid state. My asphalt shingles melted and ran in my gutters, and I thought I’d stepped in some chewing gum,
but it was only the sidewalk melting.
It kinda cooled of a degree or two today here :confused:
Not enough to go wearing a shirt or nothing, but... :laf:
I do enjoy this thread :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie:. Most of you talk of cold as a bad thing but Tik, Todd and me can just add more clothes and I'm trying to not imagine what you stinking, sweating and swearing guys look like going in the opposite direction :puke:.
:innocentwhistle:
Lemme tell ya Barry..... it's AFRICA hot here in Texas. I've been contemplating heading to the coast all summer..... but sort of leery and concerned what with the BP oil spill.
Let me tell you... there's worse things than oil on the beach.....

Heat Index was 122 today..... damn, it was HOT.
Tomorrow is suppose to be better. Heat Index ONLY suppose to reach 110
Wow do I hear you on the heat. Went right up to 73F here today and they almost shut the schools[until they remembered they weren't open :doh2:]. :innocentwhistle: :biggrin:
Had a real temp of 97 today and a heat index of 105 while I was watching the sweet corn festavil parade. Supposed to get even muggier tomorrow.
BUT man that sweat corn is gooooood. Had me a few ears of honey and cream today with some white meat chicken and it was just awsome. Tomorrow some Illinois super sweat and smoked pork chops.
:alscalls:
I guess in this heat it really should be called sweat corn :laf:
:whew: It was 95.6* here @ 3:30 today. I didn't check the humidity to see what the heat index was but it had to be 100*. Here we are now @ 5:13 & it's down to 75.6*. Those thunder boomers that ran across my hovel this afternoon sure did the trick for us. I hope those good ol Southern folks that we all know & love so much are getting some sort of relief too. :yoyo: :yoyo:
It was over 100 degrees today with ultra high humidity. I mowed the yard and about passed out. :whew:
It was a bad omen when I got up this morning at 5AM and the cicadas were singing :huh: It was 76°F. Then it continued to climb to 98°F. Hot, muggy, and humid. Glad I cut the grass last evening. Dang cicadas are still singing as I type this. It's only 88°F right now. Yuk! Can't wait for Winter!
Intolerable to say the least is this freaking heat wave :argh:. 77F and only a slight wind 5mph to move it around :puke:. Man we do have to suffer in order to live the good life eh :holdon:.
Nice weather you Canucks are having!
I recall last May when I was bear hunting on Lake Ile-A-La-Crosse in Saskatchewan Canada, we had snow the first couple days..... then it warmed up! I believe the mercury hit somewhere in the mid 70's and you would think those Canadian Indians were melting!! :alscalls:
Them boys were laid up in the shade in only their under draws, moaning, crying, and sweating profusely. Us group of Texans thought it were quite humorous... :eyebrownod:
It made it to 103 here today and the real feel or heat index as most call it was 115.
I worked in the cook shack for a bit today and the thermometer in there read 125. BUT, We still managed to serve up better than 20 dozen ears of corn and a whole bunch of chicken and pork chops.
The cook shack :eyebrownod:
Its too hot to click on the smile icons.......... :pout:
:alscalls: THAT IZZ hot!
:eyebrownod:
It doesn't seem to be getting any better :sick2:
It got so hot this afternoon, that after work, a bunch of us grabbed a cooler of beer and headed for the river.
There we stood, shoulder deep in the river drinking beer till the sun went down :laf: :laf:
Shoulda took a pic, we looked like a bunch of cattle in the heat of summer standing in the creek. But boy it felt, I say boy it felt good. :eyebrownod:
:whew: :whew: :whew:

Yes, it is HOT today. It is 70 degrees F at five till ten, and that is HOT in our area. It may get close to 90. We don't have AC and don't need it at all some years. Other years, like this one, it would be nice on the long evenings with the sun against the side of ths house, but it cools off.
This was my view last week, where we stayed at a friend's house on Orcas Island, WA. Taken off the deck. The salt water is COLD!!! Wetsuit needed. Watching the night grow and the stars come out it was so hot that most evenings sitting on the deck a T-shirt was about right with no need to throw on a flannel shirt on top.

From the deck of our house we look out at the view below and could drive to snow within an hour, ...and may do this afternoon if it stays hot later than usual!

Yes, we've been blessed and joking aside, I probably shouldn't brag on it nor make fun of people living in real heat, as any good things we have are nothing of my doing. Life has ways of evening out. We are renting our place and waited long enough to buy again that we've probably missed out. A long time friend whose dad made big money invited us to spend a few days at his "other" place on Orcas Island last week, and we loved it. Way beyond my pay grade. But we get to live year round in a fabulous place for hunting and fishing, but work sure gets in the way of doing it.
I declined to go to West Africa this summer and so missed some big time heat with no AC etc. The Pacific NW is one of the nicest places to live that I've seen on earth, great place to come back to from hot nations, though it can and does rain for months on end sometimes. For the past three days I've had some kind of bug, sore throat and chest so sore I wince to even think of coughing, didn't sleep at all last night, so bad that I am missing out on the sockeye run in our local rivers. :madd: and that's bad sick!
I love to see pics of other places, Mississippi River, eastern hardwoods and fields, desert, etc. and may post some of the San Juan Islands.
I don't envy that feeling though. There's been some crazy stuff going around despite the oppressive heat that really gets a guy scratchin his noggin. :confused:
Any of that rain help you fine Southern folks out :biggrin: or was it just enough to raise the humidity again? :sad:
We got 2 1/2 inches of rain this past weekend at my house, chance of scattered showers all week, it helped cool off some bit humidity is still high, but good for the Peanut Plantation. :eyebrownod: cc
I was hoping it would give some relief. Sorry it didn't. I'm glad the peanuts are faring well tho!! :biggrin:
Quick, someone send some rain my way!! We need RELIEF.
Currently 102 degrees. 114 Heat Index. :whew:
What is a heat index :shrug: Sounds like you can look it up at the end of the day :confused:. Kinda/sorta sounds about as dumb as the wind chill factor up here. I go by what the thermometer says and today our high was 68F :whew:. I saw two people with toques on :alscalls: :alscalls:.
When the humidity gets high accompanied with high temps, thats where you get your heat index.
Basically the temperature is just that, what ever the temperature is.
If the humidity is high it pretty much magnifies the temperature, but a thermometer cant read it since the air temps remains the same. Living things can feel it though.
Thats why when you look up the weather, and there is a high heat index or high humidity, they will say, "Temps in the mid 90's feels like 115"..
The heat index is actually what we feel. Not the thermometer reading.
Pretty much the same for windchill factors. The thermometer cant feel the chilling effects of wind force but we can.
Jim nailed it.
Take a trip to Las Vegas in the summer. Thermometer lets say reads 115, and there's extremely low humidity. Then fly out to my area of Texas with the thermometer reading 102 and moderate humidity.
Guarantee you WILL notice and feel the difference! :wink:
Folks I know out towards Kingsville routinely have days during the summer where the heat index creeps over 130. :puke: :puke:
Go to Palm Springs in mid July. 118* with a air as dry as a cracker fart. Lay in the shade and bake and never form a drop of sweat. Then jump on a jet and come back to 98* and 100% stupidity. Feel like and elephant sitting on your chest.
93* & 12hrs on the roof today. Luckily we had about 8 minutes of shade this afternoon to get us going again. :whew:
33F here at 5am. I was sleeping in the tent and woke up to just start :alscalls: :laugh2: :laugh2: thinking of Jimmie being up here. :whew:
Nice and cool here but not quite THAT cool...yet
With my brains and pocket book, you aint going to catch me up there. :nono: I might actually freeze my fanny two months of the year, that's enough for me. I like pictures of snow and that is about it. And that spell last year withthe ice storm was enough winter to do me for several more years.
I'll stick to changing clothes a couple of times a day if nesescary :biggrin: Jimmie

Exactly the way I feel also.
It's starting to cool down here mid 50's or 60's at night 70-80 during the day. Best of all the humidity is going away!!!
I'm looking forward to below freezing temps, I want to go ice fishing :yoyo:
Frost on the windows of my truck this morning. Not good. Sure glad I covered the wifes cucumbers last night.

It's ninety-eight here today. Our son came down from the Phoenix area and he said it was 110 when he left home.
