Humidity index? Geez.. sounds like an excuse to make it sound hotter. It's 112 here today, before any "humidity index".

It was only 92 here today, but the humidity was between 90 and 100% all day.

On another note, I worked a job hanging seamless gutters in AL in the mid 90's. The hottest summer on record in AL the year I did this. We took a thermometer up on a roof one day, 145 degrees. When I got home, I would go sit on the porch in the shade. It was, on average, in the low 90's on the porch. Too damn cold inside for me with the thermostat set at 74.

yeah, but with that "dry heat" you're index is divided from the temperature not added!!

Dang! I thought this thread was about some Hot French Ladies!

Exactly Udie.

Honestly man...90 degrees isn't a fair comparison to your 112 unless you take the humidity into account.

I'd personally prefer the 90 degrees and humidity though, do you actually live in the desert or something?

I live in the Phoenix area ( so does Steve), desert climate and terrain this part of the state.... or are you asking if he lives out in the raw, open desert?

This time of year we get the 110-118 plus the humidity of the monsoon season.

We had one year with 173 days over 100..... most years have about 100-140 or so days of 100+

That being said, I just got back from Florida and some parts were around 85-90 degress with 90% humidity and I would have to say I prefer 115 over that. But even when it's humid here, it seems not as bad.......sea air maybe?

It was the hottest day of the year so far and expecting it hotter tomorrow. An incredible 29C or 86f

The whole of Europe is on sweltering or on fire and we get a measly 29C. Britain is expecting a 100f day on wednesday. We'll get thunderstorms.

I remember being in Tennessee some years ago. The heat and humidity was almost unbearable. Actually they closed the schools it was so hot. I was standing in hangar doorway. When I suddenly felt a burning in my feet. I was in the shade but my feet weren't. Tip: Don't wear black shoes in a hot climate. Oooow!

I was in Pheonix once, but in January.

I'll never forget looking out of the window of the plane when we were landing and freaking out at the landscape. I thought we were landing on the moon. Never seen anything like it in my life.

Great city Pheonix, had a great time, and I was there auditing a software company believe it or not! My colleague and I were so hung over one morning that we got into a laughing fit and simply couldn't stop. The reaction on the faces of the staff was quite funny. Here was two disheveled accountants laughing our heads off first thing in the morning, while there to look at their accounting records. I don't think they quite know how to take it.

The trains here in the UK are crawling around like snails due to the heat warping the rails. The rail companies involved blame it on the 'wrong kind' of heat and that it's a European wide problem.

When asked to comment, Deutsche Ban said the only summertime problem in Germany was with the air conditioning sometimes struggling to cope. The French SNCF spokesman said 'We only slow down for accidents, otherwise all our trains are running at the normal 215 mph'.

Passengers on the London Underground are sometimes traveling in temperatures hotter than the legal limit for transporting animals, with ambulances on alert in case a train stops in a tunnel for any length of time (a not uncommon event) causing passengers to keel over with heatstroke.

The roads are melting, and adding to the gridlock are an extra 500 lorries a day criss crossing the UK carrying important ice cream supplies to tourists.

I could go on but I'm sitting here sweating in my skiddies at 9.30am and finding it difficult to concentrate. It reminds me of the Robin Williams character in Good Morning Vietnam...'Man its hot! I just saw two little guys dressed in orange burst into flames!'

So if you want to start complaining about allies not giving support and back stabbing perhaps a closer look at the policies of your own country could do with a little inspection.

The best one I saw was a couple of French extraction, who ran a French Restaurant in Florida went out of business - hey their families had only been in America for 200 odd years but gosh they were serving FRENCH food so deserved what they got - do you people ever think??? Are you THAT stupid??

That's what's called a rhetorical question - I'm pretty sure I know the answer.

Schaden, sad but true there are million of these examples.
To much FOX news and flag raising

Jeeze... with the heatwave happening this summer, I've been thinking of stopping my practice of leaving my Lincoln Navigator running 24/7.

Well gotta go, I have steaks on the bar-b-que, and margaritas in the two stroke powered blender.
