[Bake]

Y'all be cool!

[kick-ass-bob]

1. I'm 'baking' here. ;) I think it's supposed to be 102 today

And Heat index of 112. But I see some showers popping up so I bet the official reporting station doesn't make it there.

[Bake]

16. Nice!

:hi:

[Maine-ah]

43. Portland, Maine hit 101 around 9 am.

It's 90 right now on the midcoast, where I am.

edited to add...

heat index...onehundredfuckingtwo. Rockland, Maine.

[freshwest]

49. That just seems wrong. What was the low in January?

[Maine-ah]

50. well, average temp in January

is around 10 degrees.

lowest in P-land was -11...I'm an hour and a half north of Portland, right on the coast.

That temp was for Poland, not Portland. My bad. Highest temp ever recorded for Maine was 104, in 1911. Lowest -39 in 1943. The average low in January is 12...

[freshwest]

51. Yeah, google gives worse results all the time. Just erases history. Do the houses help keep you cool

With the insulation ratings as high as they must be? It seems that might help, just all that stuff outside. I hope your fall starts up on time in September. Just another more month to go, huh?

[Maine-ah]

56. ugh...

not ready for summer to end! It just started a month ago :hi:

[freshwest]

2. It's 67 but may get up to the low 80's if the sun comes out by the weekend.

Still dismally gray and drizzling. Hoping for a sunbreak tomorrow.

[TZ]

3. We got you beat

Heat index of 110! (96 degrees). Supposed to be WORSE tomorrow. YIKES.

[nolabear]

4. I think freshwest and I are in the same place. 60s and wet.

Check with me in two days when I'm in the middle of Mississippi. THEN you'll hear some bitchin'!

[freshwest]

8. I think so. I don't complain about rain, snow or cold; but the gloom is getting gloomy, ya know?

I don't miss those over a hundred heat index, although I used to work outside in it doing heavy work. Sweat is good. I never seem to sweat anymore and I don't take the sun for granted anymore like I once did. That's why these folks go nuts in the summer, it's a treat.

I think that the reverse is true down south, when I lived there my favorite months were those with a chance of cool dry air from the north. I've come to appreciate both climates. It was something getting used to having 'cold' rain. Where I grew up, when it rained on you it was more like a shower. The Gulf is like a tub bath, I think. The water here is never inviting.

Glad to get a chance to learn about the world everyday, how wonderfully different it is. The native Americans were the smart ones, going north and south to take advantage of the seasons. We seem to be rooted to the ground in our cities and towns. Ah, well.

[XemaSab]

5. 92 right now

B-)

[hifiguy]

6. We finally have a pleasant day here in the Twin Cities

after two weeks of hot, muggy misery. It's breezy and 82. It won't last though - 90+ heat, humidity and thunderstorms scheduled to return tomorrow.

[graywarrior]

7. Heat index is 110 degrees where I am

[Cannikin]

9. 103 in central Arkansas. Possible rain in the forecast *fingers crossed*

I don't believe in heat indexes. How do you know how hot it feels to me? :P

[sarge43]

10. Central NH

Temp: 93F

Heat Index: 102F

Dew Point: 72

Humidity: 42%

Pressure: 29.58

Headache?: Wager your hindquarters

[freshwest]

19. That hardly seems fair or just. After the winter and all. Any forest fires?

[sarge43]

20. Like the Swamp Yankees say, "If you don't like the weathah, wait five minutes."

No fires, thank the weather gods. So far we've had enough (sometimes too much) rain to keep the forests from drying up.

[freshwest]

21. That's always good. The PNW has had years where the fires burn for months.

[sarge43]

26. Are those peat fires or lack of rain?

The Northeast hasn't had significant forest fires in decades. When they start, it's going to horrible.

[freshwest]

27. Not peat. Trees. Blast furnace range temps create their own weather with updrafts. Hell on Earth.

[sarge43]

33. That's nightmarish. n/t

[freshwest]

41. Dangerous and depressing at the same time.

[liberaltrucker]

11. Not sure of the actual temp, but

Satan called and wants his furnace back!

:evilgrin:

[Bake]

15. We'll gladly send it back to him!

:hi:

[redwitch]

12. upstate NY heat index 105

I wish someone would throw a bucket of water at me because "I'm melllllllting".

[RebelOne]

13. Not too bad here in the Atlanta area.

[sakabatou]

[Bake]

17. Finally cooled down here in the 'Ville!

As of 6 PM, down to 93 ... 105 for the heat index.

Downright balmy!

Bake

[GoCubsGo]

18. It's about the same here in S. Carolina

Hot. Humid. Yuk.

[rbnyc]

22. Weather Underground says 89 but

I don't buy it. I'm dripping with sweat. It feels like 105.

[Arugula Latte]

23. It's only 69 here.

(*insert inappropriate joke*)

[freshwest]

28. Hahaha! I know where you live...

[JohnnyLib2]

24. Mega Cavern, go and stay!

:toast:

[Bake]

25. That's the ticket!

:toast:

[freshwest]

29. New Mexico, head for Carlsbad Caverns, Texans to the Longhorn Cavern. Like free air conditioning.

Any spelunkers here?

[Initech]

30. Bank thermometer read 101 yesterday.

[Angel]

31. At 10:19 p.m.

It is 95 degrees. Gotta love the Texas heat.(sarcasm)

[madinmaryland]

32. I'm in Florida and don't really care how fucking hot it is. I go to the pool in the evening,

the beach during the day, and the rest of the I'm having frozen cocktails!!

[Bake]

34. Now THAT'S the life!

Wait ... you're in FL? I thought you were in Maryland! Or am I mad?

Bake

[madinmaryland]

53. I'm in Florida...

[TZ]

35. Its going to be really bad today: already 89 w/heat index of 103

and its only 10:15 am. Yikes!x(

[muffin1]

36. Heat index is supposed to be between 110 and 120 in Virginia.

:puke:

[Bake]

37. It's a government conspiracy, I tell ya!

At least that what Rush said.

Bake

[TZ]

38. Rush obsessed!

:rofl: You knew I had to do it, right?

[Bake]

39. It's too damn hot to respond to this ...

:hi:

Bake

[freshwest]

42. Huh, I missed it. Treehugging libruls at fault again? Al Gore's lying? What?

[TZ]

44. The heat index is a liberal conspiracy

because you know meterologists are all apparantly stupid democrats...:sarcasm:

[freshwest]

47. Effete liberal snobs at it again. The heat index is a subjective opinion poll, thus librul.

[muffin1]

40. Ummm...I heard.

I'd like to see his fat, pimpled ass last five minutes in this heat. Gawd, I despise that fool. :)

[freshwest]

45. Pray tell, how did the Gummint do it? HAARP? That belongs to Palin, you know.

[hobbit709]

46. Currently it's 84° with HI of 91.

But it's still early.

[freshwest]

48. A blazing 58 degrees just before 10 AM. The sun is peeking through. Will it hit 70 degrees?

[kwassa]

52. Heat index is 116 degrees in DC right now. Baking the House and Senate.

[Arkansas Granny]

54. It's 101 right now and, according to Weather Underground, we set a new

record today:

Record consecutive 100 degree days set at Fort Smith Arkansas...

Today, July 22, is the 18th day in a row that Fort Smith Arkansas
has been 100 degrees or higher. This breaks the all time record for
consecutive days at 100 degrees or higher. The old record was for 17
consecutive days set in July of 1934.

[meow2u3]

55. 103 in PA--with a heat index of nearly 120!

It's definitely baking here! Thank god for air conditioning; at least I don't have to go out in this weather (given that I can't work).

[DFW]

57. It's 63° F back home and overcast

but here where I am now, a high of 90°F is forecast with a nice sea breeze
