Anything interesting going on in the world today?

Icom makes great radios.

I am quite pleased the sensitivity my R75 has on an inverted L

So, who's burning up in the heat wave?

Not SUPER hot where I live. maybe 90 - because I'm close to the coast. Still, that's hot for here. In the 100's just a little further inland.

I lived in Phoenix for almost 40 years, so I know what it's like there right now. At least over here it cools down at night. In Phoenix the low will be 90 or more. the low!

92 at 1pm with heat index of 110 with temps still going up..

Has been this way for weeks

That would equate to 75% humidity.  Hmm.

That's low humidity for Florida.

[Eviscerate]

Can't be that low seeing as it's 58% currently.

75% would be well below average.

Florida is the fourth most humid state, with an average humidity in Florida of 85.58%.

24 hr. average, yes.  I'm from Florida and 75% would be considered very high during the heat of the day.  A high daytime heat index temp around here tends to be about 10 degrees higher than the actual temperature.  We had an uncommon 92/104 the other day.

I just remember it as oppressive heat and then pssing rain on you in the afternoon.

It's the same here in North Texas, except no rain.  At least Florida's temp is modulated by the oceans.

I was mowing the lawn in 107f heat the other day.  That's actual not index.  Not smart but I had been out of town two weeks.

Phoenix says, "Hold my beer..."

In my opinion, the southern third of Louisiana has the worst humidity in the country.  I've lived in Florida all my life and have never experienced the heat that I have out there during the summer.
