How freaking hot IS it?

**whiterabbit** · 07-10-2010, 04:05 PM

The warmest it's gotten here yet this year is somewhere around 85. And that's at 4 PM with the sun at full blast.

Nights? 40s. Beautiful sleeping weather.

Yeah, you can hate me, but I spent my whole life in heat and humidity and escaped them three years ago. And I'm not going back!

Been triple digits all week here in the San Fernando Valley.

Hot, but not humid.

This may fall into the category of Too Much Information.

[spoiler]I've been riding my bike for exercise this summer, and trying to lose some weight. I've got a 20-mile ride, along the river and back, and trying to do it every day.

One warm day this week, my curiosity got the better of me. I got home from the ride, peeled my clothes off, and got a large bucket. I set it in front of my chair, and sat so that I could capture as many drips as possible. About 20 minutes later, I poured it out and measured it; 1/2 cup of sweat.[/spoiler]That's how freakin' hot it is.

This summer in Austin is mild compared to last year. Have we even had any days over 100 yet? Last year we recorded 67 100+ days at Camp Mabry. And that's with zero days of rain.

4:07 am. 81 degrees F. 89 percent relative humidity. According to the Weather Channel, that's still a heat index of 88 degrees.

It's effing hot!

I don't think it'll hit 85

A few days ago, the heat index here in Missouri was 103 degrees--at 10 PM.

Yeah, and we've been getting thunderstorms, but they don't cool anything off. They just make it reeeeeeally humid when the sun comes out again. Bleh.

At one thirty am yesterday, it was still 101 here. No joke.

ETA: I live in Phoenix. It's been 110-116 all week. Finally drops to around 106 at 8pm.
It's horrible..oh sure, it's a dry heat, but when it gets that hot, swamp coolers work very crappily. My poor cat doesn't pant like a dog, either..she's been lying like she's dead all week on the cool kitchen floor..only sign of life to flick her ears when I walk by. I'm freaking hot as hell myself, I can only imagine how she feels. I feel so sorry for her an other pets in this complex.
