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?
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.
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.
“It’s been mild this year.”
California won the weather lottery this year.
Very mild. Some mornings almost chilly with the wind.
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.
The tarmac was probably 200deg.
I’m in Tucson. It’s 104 or so today and that’s noticeably cooler than yesterday or Wednesday.
Yes.
Really weird to have had chilly breezes in July
But it finally hit 100 yesterday.
I’ve noticed mild summers have been a trend in CA for a decade or two now.
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.
“And people keep moving to Phoenix in droves, because?????”
I could never figure out why settlers stopped there to begin with.
I lived there for 8 months.
Dec - Feb were OK. But it goes over 100 by march and stays there.
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.
“Corn sweat” is the trendy weather term out here at the intersection of the Biblebelt, Rustbelt, and Cornbelt.
In Sacramento, Kalifornia, this past July was incredibly mild. Some weeks the high was in the low 80's.
My first July in Sacramento was in the 1990s. It was 110° for many, many days. This year's July with low 80's was a treat! No Globull, just cooling.
It's not really that bad.
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.
I could never live east of the Rockies because of that humidity.
I was in Columbus MS one summer for a few weeks and it hit 110deg and 91%. It’s worse than Phoenix.
