Just be happy we don't have humidity.  I admit it's mighty warm but at least one's sweat evaporates.

I believe we hit 106, still over 90 at 6:30.

I was wrong - 108

A chilly 86 in Bermuda;)

But...we have 80% humidity at 12.00 noon with the sun shining.  This makes it feel much closer to the kind of temperatures you guys are feeling right now.  

Having said that, I feel very sorry for you guys living in cities up there .  I lived through a heatwave in Toronto in 87 or 88 and the pollution mixed with the heat damn near killed me.

Keep cool boys.

I shouldn't complain. I've seen 124 here before.

EDIT: According to weather.com, the hottest day on record was 119. Can't trust those radio broadcasters. :)

95 in Oregon... its not that high... but it is a July 10th record for us.

Worst I've ever had was 120 with 100% humidity.  I remember looking at the thermometer at 7am and it read 100.  It wasn't Africa... but it was the same hemisphere.

And please, not some smart bellybutton formula like C = 37/F +7/8
