110F in August is a cool day.

Seriously, we have had some rather mild summers the last two years. Which means we are due for a really bad one. Just hope it is not this year tater or what I said above could be true.

Louisiana is worse, maybe not 110 here but it's more humid which makes it more miserable.

Wouldnt think Texas would feel as hot as I thought it was barren desert and didnt get humidity.

If the 110 degrees doesn't get you the humidity will...

But we had 90 degree temps from the end of April through mid-october. That sucked.

Actually I think we are in for a nasty severe weather season. We've had it easy for the last 4-5 years.

After living in Palm Beach County, FL...

I laugh at people who complain about the "humidity" in Ohio. HAHAHAHA!

It's like fresh arctic air.

I laugh at the people in the south who wear sweatshirts when its 60 degrees is cold. Come up north to CT and all the other New England states in the winter. Find out what real cold is.

I hear that Hoarach!! RI here and last week it was so nice I was wearing shorts and a tee. I think last Sat it was 48-50 early evening and there I was outside with some cold ones, shorts and tee, standing in front of the BBQ.

We've had 110 days a few times, its pretty rare for it to get that hot here. But, it can get awfully damn hot. And not to mention the 30-50 mph winds which we seem to get every other day.

Have lived in Ohio, Florida AND Texas. Heat and humidity in Ohio can be very uncomfortable. In Florida, it can be smothering and depressing. In Texas, on the Gulf Coast, its just plain crushing and unbearable.
In high summer, you plan each day based on the spending the shortest amount time running between air conditioned environments. You go from air conditioned house to air conditioned car to air conditioned store and then back again. When finished you feel like you've completed a full EVA mission in a hostile environment... and you have!
I mean people have fully airconditioned homes, INCLUDING their garages, just so they don't keel over getting into the car before its air conditioning kicks in.
