Its hot

[CAP1]

and in a week or so, the temps will come down........

[Rash]

In February, we had a near record low of -16, then on Tuesday, the temp was 114F.  A 130F swing in a about 7 months.  I've seen some record temps for this area, and most were pre 1934.  I think it was in 1934, when the temp hit 115F here and the next year we had a record low.  It balances out.

me and a buddy are going camping as soon as the highs go into the lower 80's and maybe low 70's. We are also planning on going for winter break right before Christmas. Only thing stopping us now is the blasted heat

with extreme winters, we get extreme summers.

with extreme winters, we get extreme summers.

Does that mean we will have a super cold winter?

34' was a year that you had the rare heat wave like you are in one now.  Same in my area.

no. we had a somewhat extreme winter last winter. with it came this extreme summer. at least around here. this upcoming winter will be kinda mild compared to the last 2 here, if the pattern holds.

Not to fear, looks like a cold front is blowing through on monday. 103? Thats jacket weather.

I was in Pasedena,Tx. the other day. The temp gauge on my outside mirror said 112.......It's like standing under a giant heatlamp.....

[Slash27]

Ha....try 130 as the average temp..."Hell on earth" is kandahar Afghanistan

Could only get to 113 here. Lot's of fires but no one is shooting at me so you have me beat all the way around

dad can finally run the ac in his truck, he says it can't handle temps in the 100's. Now it doesn't get past 93 these days and the mornings are getting cooler and cooler

 was 69 when i left the house this morning.

 funny how that works, eh?

South Texas is miserable, although it is only 100 here, the humidity is out of sight.  I would take 145 in Mosul Iraq any day.  There is is a dry heat, I know anything over 100 is just f,,ing hot, but 100 with high humidity is a killer, at least in the sand box, up north it is a dry heat.  We have burned more square miles due to brush fires, than the whole state of New Jersey has, and with the heat, there is no end in sight.

LOL the AC compressor locked up on my truck

It's been a record year for fires in the US. If I remember correctly several states have broken all time records for most acres burned in a year.
