Here in SW ontario it's been in the 90's for several days with thursday's high to get to 37 {99}. Tonight the low is forcast for 27. {81}

Now i know you guys down south have seen this kind of heat before but in these parts it just plain freaky hot. Unseen in these parts. The air conditioner is falling behind and the house heating up, the electrical grid is strained.

How hot is it where you are?

97 degrees F. today with a heat index of about 110.

Heat advisories and Excessive heat warnings for many states.

I agree with Bob, the humidity is brutal.

We've had 17 straight days over 100 here in Dallas. We havent had a day with a high below the mid-90's since May. It has been pretty brutal here and the worst part is it doesnt really get any cooler here til September. Its been a rough one.

We had a snow pile here in massachusetts that lastest until the end of June! It was out towards boston somewhere. The thing was about a foot tall and 12 feet in diameter at the end of june. The was depressing to see.

Last weekend it was unseasonably cool. That's nothing more than a pleasant memory now...:shake:

Mid to upper 90's forecast through the weekend with high humidity.

On the bright side, the pool heater ain't running much... :cool4:

To put it in perspective....how'd you like to have been a Union soldier marching in this heat while carrying all your gear AND wearing a dark blue wool uniform?

No A/C, no SPF 30, no local 7-11 to stop to grab a 44oz BigGulp....and some guys in grey uniforms shooting at you!

Yesterday we hit 101* with a heat index of 124. Today is supposed to be even warmer and I am going to be out in it all day at a concert series. I am still curious if heat stroke or alcohol intoxication will get me first.

That will be one nasty, sticky mosh pit!....maybe call it a 'mush pit' in this weather.

I can't believe that I am saying this but.....Stay hydrated with more water than beer!

We were about this also - I thought I was going to have the highest heat index until I saw this. But then you are from IA too so it makes sense.

Our 7 day out look:

Starting today: 99,98,99, 100, 101, 102

and we havent had much rain, just maybe 4 inches since January.

We are in drought here and are in stage 2 water restrictions which means we can only water once a week.

Humidity has been nasty - Tuesday Minnesota had the highest in the country. After several days of brutal heat with that high humidity and impressive thunderstorms, today is 87 degrees and sunny but the humidity is way lower. A gorgeous day finally!

Im working at the new Nets stadium in Brooklyn. No shade and nothing, but being stuck in a jam packed giant dust bowl for 10 hours. They also don't allow my truck to idle at anytime on this job so no A/C (but yet cranes, manlifts, front end loaders, backhoes and 3 generators can run all day :rolleyes:)
Plus having to secure up to 8 loads with sometimes up to 10 straps per load by myself and then back them down a very narrow uneven steep ramp. Plus it dont help when the foreman you work for can't get his act together and get organized to make sure each trailer you bring down is the right one so I don't have to pull it back up the hill have to unstrap and then re-strap another load. :mad2:
All this in a small single axle switcher truck with a sorry excuse for a dash fan and a boiling hot leather seat. They also add to the excitement by stuffing our small drop lot full of trailers so you have to move 3 trailers to get to the correct one all while they call for more trailers to come and keep getting squeezed into this yard.
The new Yankee stadium job was probably the worst job I even been on until I got stuck coming here. This one is leaps and bounds above how terrible that one was. This job has been in the news a lot because the locals don't want it here and the borough president don't even want this here and is looking for any excuse to shut this job down. (I agree with him, maybe Ill picket it too. :D)

I come home and have to literally peel my clothes off and fill the shower floor up with dirt as I rinse off.
Tomorrow is going to be even hotter and they won't shut the job down unless the temps hit 110* So that means another 10 hours of sitting in my own sweat and dirt. :help:

Pfff! We had more than a dozen piles, up to 10 stories tall and several cubic football fields in size. They are down to about 4 stories now. ;)

It's cooled a bit, down to 20 or so, but it was near 30 for a couple of the past weeks.

That sounds about as rotten as it can get Paul. Bring plenty of ice water.

I don't know which is worse, those kinds of temps for weeks on end or getting buried in snow and cold for 5 months of the year. At least when its cold you can put more clothes on, you can only take just so much off though... :help:

what I was thinking, rayjay

You can put on more clothes when it is cold. I'm thinking that at this moment. It is just ridicoulosy hot--you don't want to leave the air conditioned office/home/wherever you are that's air conditioned............
