How hot is it where you live?

You know, when it comes to hot temperatures, most people would think "Australia" right...???

Well, it seems that the USA is getting a fair share of heat and humidity from what I can see from the complains you folks are expressing of which, I sympathise and fully understand, being myself someone that lived in the Australia "desert" for many years.

However, and since moved to South Australia, the weather pattern has been some of the best I have experience in the 27 years since arrival in Australia. A four season European type weather is what we get for most of the year, however, there has been summers where we experienced 45°C ++ for some days in a raw (2 weeks one year) about Christmas time...!

These last few years the summers have been milder and the winters a lot wetter, such as the one we are experiencing at the moment with lots of rain and cold temperatures. Today and as we speak the weather channel says,



A bit wet and cold for us but, I prefer that than what you guys are experiencing, any time...!

I apologise if my post upsets someone and if it does, I can also understand why however, I'm not the one with the main control switchboard for the weather...!

Hope you guys get some relief, soon...!

Good luck

Cheers
George

Wittmann, AZ it's after sundown and still 104 degrees, but it's a dry heat or so they say.

No relief in sight until October, will be for the most part 100 to 120 degrees everyday until then unless it rains

I feel for all of you triple digiters. But on the flip side here in the great Pacific Northwest we have not hit our summer stride yet so the high today was a very comfortable 71 with a low of 57 tonight. Heck I actually had to wear a jacket in the shop tonight.

Want to trade ??????????????
 
Ozark country of north-central Arkansas. Has been up to 113 degrees but most days top out at only 109. ONLY???
Never saw anything like this before. We have had drought years and hot years in mid-90s, but nothing like this. Deadly dangerous out there.
 
Andy,

Yesterday at 4:00 p.m. on my back porch in beautiful downtown Tucker, Georgia it was 110. This is one of the highest temps I can remember. Thank goodness the humidity was low.

It's roughly 106 right now. I'm pretty angry at the heat, and strangely relieved to be unemployed right this second for just this one reason. I've worked the last 10 or 15 summers outdoors, and I don't really miss having to force myself to keep going in this kind of stuff.
 
Unseasonably cool...high 80's and low 90's. Should be doing the handshake with 105 about now. But a great 10kt breeze in the evening...great BBQ weather!!!
 
It's 109 again today with 54 percent humidity. At least it's not August when the humidity will reach 90+ percent humidity.

Right now, we are just baking. In August, we start boiling.
 
It is 102 in the mountains of Tennessee :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Got out in the garage around 7am was back in the house by 10:30:mad::mad::mad: I don't have a ceiling in my garage so the heat you normally associate with a attic is were i try to work.

I did get 1 pen finished, 6 pens cut out and glued up, and cleaned the power coat off of 5 50 cal and 3 30 cal brass that I had messed up and been soaking in acetone.

O well, guess there wont be much shop time for the next 2-3 months. Working in computer rooms for the last 20 years has ruined me when it comes to heat:frown:
 
I was just in Las Vegas, NV for a conference so it was 75 degrees all day long (at least in my conference room). When I finally went outside it was 100 degrees at 11pm. But it was a dry heat.
 
At 6PM I was in Roswell, NM and it was 104, at 7PM I was in Hondo, NM and it was 81, at 8PM we were riding around and it was 69 degrees in Ruidoso, NM. We spend most of the summer here, no complaints and we have no AC.
 
WE GOT SOME WATER POURED ON US TODAY!!! Scared all of the younger folks! but I'd seen it before, I almost took of my clothe to go dance nekid in it, but my wife said it would frighten our dogs, and possibly one or two of the neighbors.
 
The wife said today it was hot enough to use oven mits when she went to get the mail out of the mailbox this afternoon

8:30pm and its still 93 here.

9th day in a row of triple digits. Tomorrow will make 10. Current record is 1936 at 13 consecutive days (the last year of the Dustbowl I believe).

Now I remember why I built a veneering bench in the basement. Unfortunately, I took the last 2 weeks off to work in the yard. Got the patio finished and all the beds mulched though! Who's up for a chimnea and some s'mores? It's 9:20 and down to 96 degrees!

St. Cloud, Fla near Disney World we hit 95 this afternoon. Pretty normal for this time of the year.

We had that exact same temperature this afternoon in Green Bay, WI.... I KNOW my family would much rather have been at Disney if we had to suffer these temps!

Luckily tomorrow is supposed to break our heat wave here... We've had high 90s for far too long for WI! We live far too north for this!!!
