1. Is this abnormal?
For Orlando in the summer-time?

I'm from central Texas originally and while getting above 100 wasn't an every day occurance it the summer, it wasn't unusual either.

88 again in San Juan.

4. It's wrong. I would give big odds. I lived in FL for 18 years and never once saw or
heard of the actual temp. exceeding 100F. I think historically it hasn't happened.

5. I'm in Palatka, 105 degrees, 4:26pm
It has been over 100 degrees every day this week. My thermometer is on a back porch facing the east, so there is no direct sunlight on it all day.

It has been the hottest summer I have ever seen in Florida and I have been here for 19 years. Unreal.

It is impossible to anything outside after 12:00pm.

7. Damn, glad our vacation was 2 weeks ago
temps averaged in the low 90's, with I don't know how high humidity. Not bad, relatively speaking. Wonder how many people the Mouse has rushed to the hospital due to the heat?

9. It's 110 in Yuma and I just burned the hell
out of the palm of my hand when I picked up a garden hose that was lying in the sun. I had to put burn oinment on it.
