It has been 90 degrees plus with dew points in the 70s for the last two weeks here. It feels hot to me. kind of what you folks are getting on the Left Coast.
Sam, 90 degrees in mid August is not “hot” in most of this country. - Its all relative I suppose.
It is a mild august here in CA. We are getting, for most days, temps in the low to mid 90s. This time of year we are usually having 106-110 degree days. Low humidity means that 90 is not so bad. This has been one of the coolest summers I can remember since I was a child(a long time ago). In July we even had a couple days that were in the mid 70s, almost unheard of.
