Monday hit a high of 118, but it did cool down to 65 last night. Monday morning got down to 78 for a overnight low. Was wondering if Oregon had slid down into Arizona.

Our son lives in Glendale, AZ, and 118 is not uncommon.  Down here in the high desert it has gotten up to 110 but is back to our normal high 90's low 100's.  Nighs are comfortable, similar to yours, in the '60s.

 Official temp was 98 yesterday but the bank in town said 108.   So I looked up where the official temperature is taken and it is miles north of town on a beach point with salt water on three sides.  Town is 5 miles from salt water and much hotter.  Why would they put the official weather station in such a non-typical spot?  That weather site says our average high temp for July is 69.6.

With tall shade trees, forest, and creek our apartment stays cool in all but the hottest weather and has not gotten uncomfortable yet this year.  We cool it at night then keep it closed.  We don't have AC though if this weather were the norm I'd install it.   We own a small portable AC unit that has to be vented to a window, but we loaned it to a grandson and his wife with a new baby because their place is in the sun and gets really hot.

We can look at snow a few miles away on nearby mountains, and my wife wants to drive up there and visit winter, maybe this afternoon.  We have it good, and are grateful!

94 over here in Eastern Ohio. Humidity pushes it to 104. No idea what the temp is at work on the roof but I'd guess somewhere between 120 & vomiting. VERY little air movement here when it's like this. Inside our house is 74. The AC has been running for 2 days & it won't cool it below that to shut off. Full sun on the house all day long. Keeping the shades pulled down helps a lot.

Our hot spell broke and we are back to normal.  Over 100 on Monday, 72 yesterday and today is cooler, overcast and hinting rain.

I feel for y'all in hot country this time of year.  I grew up in hot desert, lived for years inland in southern California, worked on a house framing crew on a day that hit 123.    Hottest place I've ever been was Pakistan, 118 while I was there with saturated humidity.  The locals were miserable but said that they don't consider it a heat wave till it gets over 50C.  That is 122 F. if my memory is right.

 Supposed to drop down to 65° here on Friday!

Places around me setting all time record highs   no rain for over a month and none forecasted for at least 2 weeks.  Me and the crops are burning up.

I know that happens, but I just don't understand why.  Do they not have family, friends, neighbors, or just anybody they can call and say "Hey can ya help me?"

Heat related deaths now at 97.
