The temp just hit 112 degrees. A bit north of Muskogee, OK.

This is insane. I'm terrified of the next electric bill (and water too, have the sprinkler going
for the doggies).

1. I thought Rush lived in Florida

[karlrschneider]

2. Heh...yeah. But you know, I lived in Tampa for 16 years and it never

got to 100. 'course the humidity was worse. Sheesh...

[Broken_Hero]

3. damn

muskcogee isn't that far from me! Damn...I hope it doesn't get that hot here...btw, SW Missouri here...extreme SW Missouri.

[karlrschneider]

4. That was from the Muskogee airport, it's 113 now. Our digital

thermometer says 109, we're near Ft. Gibson lake which helps...a little.

5. just checked my

outside mercury...its 101 here, I have no idea what the heat index is, but standing temp is 101....

[karlrschneider]

11. You're just 75 miles NE of us, this high pressure is covering most of

Okla, Arkansas & MO. It sucks.

6. SW AZ is having below normal temps -

What is going on with the crazy weather? I found the pool a tad too cool for my late nite swim last nite and slept with the windows open. This is normally the hottest time of the year.

[karlrschneider]

10. Wow! Well, there's a stagnating high pressure sitting right on top

of us, and it ain't going anyplace fast so we don't even have a chance for rain (but a short shower would probably just make it even more unbearable...from an oven to a steambath)

7. its hotter blue blazes here just north of you

went outside to do a little piddling but it didn't take long for me and Roxy to say the heck with this.

[Bobbieo]

8. I do know the humidity is low and there is no monsoon season year.

Around Yuma, drought means cooler temps!

Fair

100°F
(38°C) Humidity: 31 %
Wind Speed: E 5 MPH

Dewpoint: 64°F (18°C)

And no relief in sight. The seven day forecast predicts 3 digit temps all week with slight chance of rain.

12. Why, Karl, you should come to OKC--

right now, at 5:42 pm, it's 102 with a heat index of 101.

I'm getting out the blankets so we don't freeze. :hide:

Seriously, is this heat EVER gonna end? I'm sick of it. Even the dog has abandoned working on her tan in the west bedroom window, and if it's too hot for her, that's saying something. She's a real sun hound.

[madokie]

13. hey karl looks like we might get some rain after all

thanks for the praying or cussing whichever it was, we need the rain

[kestrel91316]

14. What are you griping about?? This is PERFECTLY NORMAL.
