Is it hot where you are??

[larryinlc]

Here I sit at 8:30 PM Central time in Wisconsin, and the temp is still 89 with a dewpoint of 80 producing a heat index of 105. This seldom happens here and sounds like it's going to be worse over the next few days.

[jsnake]

Lots of 100+ here in Kansas City with 52% humidity. Brutal heat.

[area51]

It is 9:30 here and 84 degrees

[Fordman4ever]

The temp at 1300 today was 100 degrees with a heat index of 109. The winters here are killing my tolerance for the summer heat of the south. I wish I was back in Georgia.

[markem]

finally got about 60 degrees in Portland this afternoon. Got 3/4 inch of rain, which is unheard of in July. Drying out now for our 82 degree day tomorrow (can you say "sauna"?). Then back to 70.

[Fordman4ever]

right now its 91 and feels like 106. gotta love Nebraska

[neoflex]

Cooled of a bit here this weekend but the forecast shows we'll be back in the heat again this upcoming week. This weekend was actually kind of enjoyable for a change and I took advantage by taking a two hour nap out in the hammock earlier before the outlaws came over for dinner. Last week it was 92 at 10:30pm a couple of nights. I don't even want to see my electric bill for this month as the last week and a half were pretty brutal and I felt like the A/C was running all day and looks like this reprieve will be gone tomorrow. :confused:

[Fordman4ever]

Wish I was in Portland

[designwise1]

As we say here in Arkansas, "It's not the heat... it's the humidity."

[thebayratt]

Its been sitting at about 95-98 here all summer with a "true feal" of well over 100. Haven't had rain in about 3 1/2 months; until yesturday. Now, its rained for two days straight! I can't say we didn't need the rain!!

[Ashcan Bill]

7pm and it's 104 here. Not feels like, or heat index - just a straight 104. :r

[Zeuceone]

Mid 80's around here with a nice breeze.

Appleton here, hotter than Haitis!

[hotreds]

yes

[Emjaysmash]

Heat index of 109 in Green Bay today. Didn't even think about going out to smoke.

[pakrat]

About 59 here on the central coast, don't think it got over 65 today. One reason I like it here, no weather extremes.

[Gophernut]

Yep, and it still feels like a jungle here at 9:30pm... Tried a cigar this morning, but only got through about an inch and a half or so.

[Volusianator]

Heat index of 109 in Green Bay today. Didn't even think about going out to smoke.

Heck with that, if it's not T-storming when I get home, I'm sitting on the deck and having an Opus.

[Sherlockholms]

It has been in the 80's here, I believe it hit the 90's today. They said it was suppose to be 100 but It didn't get that hot here. Very strange weather.

[Emjaysmash]

Got a little lightning going on at the moment. Looks like T-Storms the rest of the week.

I would really like some nice weather for a change....

[Kneo]

We are in a heat wave for the next week. Today was a 106 heat index. Was almost to hot to sit on the deck and burn a stick....almost:)

[Ratters]

Frick, don't think it made it past 75 here in the SF bay area. Way to freakin cold. Can't wait for it to be pushing 100 again around here. Or at least the 90s.

[Ratters]

Glad we don't get humidity here though. Man, I hate humidity.

[icehog3]

Walked out of the rink after my hockey game...it was 11:15PM, and 87* in the 'burbs of Chicago.

[Blak Smyth]

It's been about 90+ here but with high humidity, gross.
We haven't had any rain in too long.

[hammondc]

Been over 100 here for weeks....

[Sailchaser]

8:30 IN THE MORNING 83 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND 108 IN THE BILGES AND 126 IN THE ENGINE ROOM IT GOING TO BE A LONG DAY:cf2

[Blak Smyth]

I have lived in Phoenix when it was 119 and it was hot as hell, but this humidity here in PA is just stupid right now.

maybe some relief today and tomorrow with rain!

[pektel]

I'm in northern mn. And it's been brutal. I don't live here for 100+ temps and high humidity. We shouldn't have any type of "heat index". Here we're supposed to have "wind chill".

It sucks, because I won't go out to smoke in this either. When it gets above 80, I start to melt.

[Apoco]

I'm in SE Tennessee. What do you think? :r

Yeah - it is a bit warmish (95+ for the last 2 or 3 weeks except for rainy days). And it is humid enough that I could just dump my cigars on the ground outside and they'd smoke just fine after a few days.

I prefer the cold but these temperatures just come with the longitude.

Does the ice get foggy? We have that issue here with some of the older rinks especially.

[DPD6030]

Damn hot here boys. Yesterday was 92* and we're under a heat advisory and a heat index warning. Mid to high 90s and indexes of 100-110 expected. :td Oh I live in SW Michigan

[icehog3]

It has happened before, Vin, but wasn't at all last night.

[Gophernut]

With a good dehumidification system it shouldn't, but yes most of the older rinks will get foggy if they haven't updated their system. Was at my son's game a few summers ago that got cancelled due to foggy conditions. Couldn't see much further than 10-15 feet. Not good when your kid is the goalie.

Heat indexes here today around115-117. Should be a fun day/night doubleheader for the Twins v Indians today.

[Wanger]

At 4:30 AM this morning, it was 79 degrees with 94% humidity. Swam outside at the Y, and almost couldn't tell the difference between the air and the water.:confused:

Supposed to be 96 today with a heat index over 110. I love the heat, but hope it's MUCH cooler on Sunday for my race.

Saw LOTS of condensation on windows on houses the last few days. It was really bad down at the Excel Energy center (where the Wild play) on Saturday night.

[Sled Dog]

The pool is 91. No, I don't have a heater, and haven't had the solar cover on in over a week. This weather is HOTTT

[kelmac07]

It's Africa hot here...Tarzan couldn't stand this heat.

Looks like you got your wish for your location (wishing you were somewhere warmer) :D

[Remo]

95 here yesterday but at least it's a dry heat :r

[Stephen]

100 degree temperatures + 60% humidity over the next five days = :pu

[Wanger]

Looks like you got your wish for your location (wishing you were somewhere warmer) :D

LOL. Well, When I say that, I mean someone that has a beach on the ocean, though if this weather keeps up, that COULD potentially be MN. :p

95* here today but at least it's humid.

Dear Rest of the Country,

Welcome to hell, we were getting lonely! It's nice to have some company.

-Texas

:(

My parents called me from California yesterday and were saying how they were getting too cold in the evenings in just short sleeves. Needless to say, they don't miss the Texas nightmare called Summer.

[e-man67]

93 here today but with hest index real feel is 103...better than last week we had a day that was 103 with real feel of 114...that was miserable.

[EricF]

You all are having what we in South Florida have everyday of every summer of every year!!

[elderboy02]

Yah.... its hot. Me likey.

[Brutus2600]

Yeah, I gotta agree, the only place I've been that is more miserable than Texas in summer is Florida. I remember packing the car up after one trip visiting friends in Orlando, it was 4am and I was sweating way more than anybody should be at that time of day w/out any sun shining. And that was north Florida.

[jjirons69]

I'm in northern mn. And it's been brutal. I don't live here for 100+ temps and high humidity. We shouldn't have any type of "heat index". Here we're supposed to have "wind chill".


Peter, you do have a wind chill today - it's 88 :D

Here I sit at 8:30 PM Central time in Wisconsin, and the temp is still 89 with a dewpoint of 80 producing a heat index of 105.

For Wisconsin, that's just WRONG.

We had our two best days of the previous 3 weeks with a 93 and 94 degree day Sat and Sun. Back to
business as usual for the Midsouth today, with heat indices all week north of 105, and temps between 97 and 100.
We are used to it but obviously do not prefer it. And when I say used to it, we do our yard work before 8am and
retreat to our air-conditioned homes for an afternoon of television...naught but the dogs and homeless can be said
to be used to it, because they have no retreat.

You know a SURPRISINGLY hot state every summer is NC....somehow they manage to always top 103 in actual temps
every year for a couple days. Strange.

Looking forward to golfing today in the 95 degree weather with a heat index of 105.......not!!

[Stephen]

Dear Rest of the Country,

Welcome to hell, we were getting lonely! It's nice to have some company.

-Texas

:(
I've heard Houston is nearly unbearable this time of the year.

[Stephen]

You all are having what we in South Florida have everyday of every summer of every year!!
Yeah, but then some of us get to shovel two feet of snow in -20F weather in January. We're getting the best of both worlds this year it seems.

[CigarDoc]

It was around 120* here today. Been that way for weeks, and to think that August is the hottest month here. Can't wait for that.....

[sheeper]

ha...i'm in Florida. We got hot and humid all year round.

[N2 GOLD]

We got 79F & Partly Cloudy... Only in So. Cal. you get a nice hot day with clouds... -(P

[Old Sailor]

113 today here!:tf

[justonemorestick]

Last week it was 115 in the shade out here but we finally got the first rain for over 125 days.

[jjirons69]

Phucking Al Gore!

[BC-Axeman]

Still 10 degrees below normal, week after week here.They say it might get to normal next week. This is two years in a row. Record snowfall staying in the mountains. Our cold is causing the hot in the center of the country, or v-v.
I have a friend who would put a lounge chair in a kiddie pool under a deck umbrella and sit it that sipping beverages and smoking stogies while listening to ball games. There are worse ways to beat the heat.

[Gophernut]

7:00pm here in St Paul, MN and it's still 112 heat index. Thank God I work in an office with AC!

[Bill86]

Yes, low-mid 90's all week. Not sure about the heat index or humidity....I just know I'm not going outside.

[Stevez]

It's 92 and humid at 8:30 in the evening here in Kentucky. Nasty hot. Heat advisory all week with heat index between 105 and 110. Makes it hard to enjoy a good cigar for sure.

[larryinlc]

After reading this, our lives aren't too bad.

[Blak Smyth]

Heat index is 111 hear right now 60% humidity. Index supposed to be about 115 in a couple hours.

[BC-Axeman]

I am already sick of the term "heat index", it is completely subjective and unscientific. It means no more than saying "damn hot" or "really damn hot". It's like saying the water seems deeper if it is freezing cold as compared to lukewarm. "Feels like" to one person is not the same as to another.

I may be wrong but I believe actuall temp does not take into account humidity. The heat index simply accounts for the other factors and gives you a more realistic temperature. Yes the term is kind of annoying but relevent on days like today.

Example 99 degrees without humidity is much cooler than 99 degrees with 60% humudity yet, the temperature will remain the same.


Found this and it makes sense that it wouldn't be accurate for everybody however it still makes more sense than straight temperature readings. I do see how somebody could argue either side:
Measurements have been taken based on subjective descriptions of how hot subjects feel for a given temperature and humidity, allowing an index to be made which relates one temperature and humidity combination to another at a higher temperature in drier air.
The heat index contains assumptions about the human body mass and height, clothing, amount of physical activity, thickness of blood, sunlight and ultraviolet radiation exposure, and the wind speed. Significant deviations from these will result in heat index values which do not accurately reflect the perceived temperature.

11:00 AM 60 degrees and looks like rain. Wish I could trake 20 degrees away from you guys.

Currently in Goldsboro, NC 7/22/11 @ 2:52 pm it is 99 degrees with a heat index of 112 degrees, dew point is 75 degrees, or as I like to say " Hotter than the hinges of Hell".:<

Very similar here now, Temp:103, HI:111, DP:70
Humidity is now down to 34% from 60 earlier, thank god.

[Davis]

Always hot here, but today the rains cooled things off enough. I love the summer storms.

[forgop]

Just turned on the sprinkler for the first time in the front yard. Don't think we've had a drop of rain in over a couple of weeks and my grass doesn't even have a shade of green to it anymore. Of course, it's been nice not having to mow it.

Came home from being in Florida for 2 weeks last August and the entire front yard was burned and had to be reseeded.

[Brutus2600]

Ok, I give up Texas. You win :td

[maninblack]

I always say when its this hot thats its better than snow and ice. I hate winter.
