5. 81 F.
Edited on Tue Jul-18-06 04:56 PM by igil
But 79% humidity. Heat index doesn't get past the mid-90s, though. The thuunderstorm and clouds knocked the heat down.

On edit: Houston.

10. I didn't believe my digital thermometer yesterday
It said the max temperature had been 105°. Then this morning's paper confirmed it.

As Robin Williams said, I could do some "crotch-pot" cookin' it's so hot.

17. Same for me, kind of. My friend
said something about how it was like Phoenix and mentioned 106 and I didn't believe it either till I JUST NOW went and checked the local station's weather information.

"Crotch-pot." :P

8. 110 F against a brick wall on the patio in the sun.
It's about 80F here with a reasonable humidity. The forecast says we get punished for this on the weekend. I'm glad I'm not in Texas anymore, where that sounds like a cool spell, but after 18 years I've re-acclimated to Wisconsin and mid-90's and 90% humidity is once again a potential killer.

12. I am also in the D/FW area and it's cooled down to 105.
Reminds me of 1980 when it went up to 112. As Paris Hilton would say "Now that's hot".

28. Well I'm in NE Kansas
and our humidity is a decent 47%. It was in the 80% humidity range this morning and that was a little stifling.

According to http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/outdoors/local/USAZ0166?from=search_current Phoenix is at 110 but it feels like 109. Their humidity is 17%

35. I was waiting for the Official Oven of the SW to check in
As soon as I heard myself complain about 106° I knew that some folks in Arizona would chuckle.

Corporal Hicks: Yeah, but it's a dry heat.

Love that line.

Right now, the Pacific NW is about the only cool spot in the country.

But by this weekend, we're going to catch up with the rest of you guys; they're predicting over 100 on Saturday...

37. 79 deg 20 miles north of Syracuse now with an overnight low of 60
predicted for tonight. I love upstate New York! On the other hand, an 18 month old baby girl died in Buffalo over the week-end because her bedroom got too hot!

46. 72 Degrees In Seattle
But then we are having some wierd weather here that is kind of "tempermental" meaning it is not a normal summer. We no longer get snow in the winter much, and we cannot depend on the summer weather here staying warm or cool, it jumps all over the place, or has this year it seems to me. We had drought a few years in a row with cool springs and summer, just no rain, and this year it stormed and rained more than usual, yet was unusually warm at the beginning of summer breaking records. this week however it is actually cool at night.

One of the most consistant things about summer in Seattle is that USUALLY, the sunniest and hottest weather is the last week of July and the first week of August. If you ever come to Seattle, come then because it is almost guaranteed you will have good weather. I know this because I am 53 years old and my birthday is at the end of July. In all those 53 years in Rainy Seattle it has only rained TWICE on my birthday. We will see how skewed it can get however, if global warming rears its ugly head ...

Anyways the weather is weird and you cannot depend on it.

Cat In Seattle

P.s. Where the HELL is D/FW?
