2. I was going to post the same thing earlier

Every time I've gone outside today I've felt like my fingers were sweating.

3. 97 in Cincinnati - heat index 107 with 46% humidity. :(

4. My thermometer was reading over 100 in western Indiana

[elocs]

5. It's only 96 with a 17 heat index here in La Crosse, WI on the Mississippi.

Better than yesterday.

I knew it had been bad yesterday when I got up this morning and it felt cooler with a temp of 80 which felt like 88. It was supposed to rain this afternoon and didn't, but that would have been worse after it stopped adding all the moisture to the air would have been more miserable.

7. We had an ACTUAL temp of 119 here once. But it was a dry heat, so they say.

I don't recall. My brain had quit functioning at that point.

13. Temps over 115F are literally fear-inducing, because if the power fails,

lots of folks including me and my kitties are in very real physical danger.

22. If the power fails here outside of PHX,

I'm going to another town in AZ and checking into a hotel. Caling in sick to work and getting the hell outta here.

8. At 4 pm, I went to the school track and ran

12 laps. 3 miles and the last lap I ran backwards. I'm 62 years old and love to run when it get above 100 heat index.


But, that's just me.

18. 20 months ago I quit smoking after 42 years

of 2 packs a day. Lost 45 lbs.
it's all in the head.

[blueamy66]

21. Come to AZ and try that.

You'll drop dead.

9. 92 is a mild summer day here in the south

[Trailrider1951]

11. I was born and raised in Columbus, and I remember those summer

nights well. Hot and humid, no breeze at all. And, we did not have air conditioning. Only a box fan in the window. I used to take a wet washcloth to bed with me to wipe my face and neck to try to keep cool so I could go to sleep. Then I grew up and moved to Texas. August in Houston, need I say more? But, at least, everyone has air conditioning here.
