I've been in Phoenix when it was 118 around 2pm. Stepped out of the Tahoe to walk 2 blocks to a famed restaurant.

It's SCARY hot. Your body enters a near panic state quickly. Especially if you're in the sun.

Here in the Big Valley today it'll be 102 with 20% humidity. It gets worse. So, not bad.

Is it hot where you are?

[Jim Noble]

It’s 82F in Central NH and the climate nuts are behaving like hot on August 8 is Trump’s fault.

Finally got warm this summer.

It’s been mild this year.

And 118 is hardly record breaking for that part of the country.

[BenLurkin]

118 is not exceptional for Palm Springs.

I remember the first time I stepped off a plane in Phoenix on a business trip.

It was around this time of year.

I had no idea what the temperature was—but we had to walk out on the tarmac from that flight.

The only way I could describe it was that it felt like my entire body had been stuck in a wood stove.

[Kleon]

This is fine.

And people keep moving to Phoenix in droves, because?????

If I chose Arizona it would be north in Prescott where it is always a lot cooler and less crowded than Phoenix.

[Tucsonican]

I’m in Tucson. It’s 104 or so today and that’s noticeably cooler than yesterday or Wednesday.

[Veto!]

Spokane is headed toward the upper 70s this afternoon.

Haven’t turned on the air conditioner this summer. Forecast says I will in a few days.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

89 degrees and quite windy, which helps. Humidity is high, but the wind is helping. Just finished mowing the house yard. Took a number of breaks for water. It’s usually a 2 hour job with the zero-turn if I really hustle, but it took about 3 hours, today.

Rain on and off from Saturday through next Tuesday, so this was my only window of opportunity to git ‘er done. ;)

Asphalt and cement get hot in the sun... who knew.

[Biblebelter]

“Corn sweat” is the trendy weather term out here at the intersection of the Biblebelt, Rustbelt, and Cornbelt.

I have worked outside in the sun in Az in 115+ heat.

It's not really that bad.

[avital2]

a mere 94 degrees in L A’s San Fernando Valley. we had a mild July, pretty much in 80’s, so summer had to hit sooner or later. we’ll head back into high 80’s over next 4 - 5 days. August and September can be our hottest months.

[Roos_Girl]

We’ve been having 100, 101 days here in central FL, but the humidity is MUCH higher in the mid 80%s. Damn near feels like you can swim through the air when you walk outside.

[reasonisfaith]

Hasn’t even reached 80 in the Constitution State.

[crusty old prospector]

Heat island effect.

[dragnet2]

I’ve been in Palm Springs,CA at 121°. That was the hottest place I ever experienced

[Fledermaus]

Wow. It’s hot in the desert in the summer.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I was outside driving around Phoenix and Scottsdale yesterday when it was 118. Really, once it gets past 105 it all feels the same. You don't want to be a construction worker, but otherwise most people around here don't pay that much attention to how hot it is.

Trust me: 118 degrees in Phoenix is way more comfortable than 90 degrees in Singapore. :)

[dragnet2]

At almost 1:30 p.m it’s 96° in my corner of Arizona.🙂
