Hot Hot Hot! Thread

Here it's not even 10:30 am, and it's already 90 with a heat index of 96. What the hell is wrong with the United States?

Post your record summer highs!

You're in the US?

I thought you were in the UK. Oh well.

We had about 30 celcius.... My uncle's stationed in Iraq - the other day it was 45-50 degrees celcius down there.

Ugh...the high today is supposed to be 105. That's acutal temperature, not heat index. AAAAAAGGHHHH!!!

/me dives into pool

In my region, currently:

Heat Index: 105 °F / 40 °C
Humidity: 56%

And that's with partly cloudy skies!!!

global warming?

Ohshi-

*me jumps into a nearby pool of ice

Ah, much better =D

Not that hot here, but in new Orleans we got 110 before noon one time, 120 was the high that day. Jesus, I can still remember making a grilled cheese sandwhich by putting a quarter stick of butter on the lid of a pot and sticking it on the balcony... yeah I could have cooked eggs on the sidewalk if I did not intend to eat them.

seriously?

ow.. Imagine going barefoot on it =D.. Now that you say it, my dad once cooked three eggs on the hood of his car. Awesome.

lol at this rate global warming will cancel out nuclear winter and the ice age will not come.

Yeah its constant 90-95-105 here in Louisiana...

Sounds very unpleasent indeed...

100 outside with a freaking heat index of 105.

Even my eyes are sweating!

Which is what they'd be doing if I was outside.

Yay for A/C huh?

yea, and pools, and vacations up to minesota.

yay rain!

It's 97 degrees outside, but there's a heat index of 112.

Ha, I beat you.

I did a lot of things outside today. I went to the mall with my mom and brother, bought a new TV, media center (wooden frame thingy), and DVD player, and when we were done, since the TV was in a big box, a woman and I had to stand outside of Target while we waited for my mother to pull the car around so we could put it inside. The thing is, is that the car was on the other side of the mall, and my mom also had to find and grab my brother. We (me and the woman) spent about 20 minutes chatting while sweating profusely, until my mother got there. Then we had to fit everything inside the car, which took another 5 minutes.

Not fun to do. I felt like I had just been in a workout.

Phoenix, I believe the recorded record high is 130+, but recently we have averaged 115-117

Yeah...but it's really dry there. "It's not the heat, it's the humidity" is a true statement.

mmm, the record high for tomorrow is 96, but the forecast predicts 99!

it used to be hot here, now its just cold & rainy (yay!)

according to the latest nickelodeon magazine (i read a portion while waiting for mother to check out at the store)

you cant cook eggs on a sidewalk, as the hottest sidewalks are on average 30 degrees too cool

but i spose it could be done on a metal car hood. if you want bird shit n' stuff in them.

I will take humidity over this crap anyday, I've lived on both coasts and inbetween, and that statement is bullcrap...

Well, all you melted people, we're getting between 16 and some nice low 20's for the middle of Winter. It's been the best Winter I have ever experianced.

As for record highs, I think the highest I've been in would be around 40 degrees celsius.

It's been a little too warm for winter.

But the highest it's been here is 48 degrees celcius. I was glad I was away on holidays when it happened

Ehhh... I think the record low for Wichita was (Shut up Ippo. I know you've gotten lower than we have.) about 25 below zero. But the coldest wind chill ever was about 50 degrees below zero. (All figures in Farenheit.)

Today: Sunny and even hotter with highs of from 99 to 103. Afternoon heat indices of 110 to 120.

Whoever thinks that mid-america has a temperate climate obviously hasn't been to the cesspool of the jet stream, St. Louis.
