Beautiful today, sunny & suppose to get to mid 80s.




TIS

88 here.

Here comes the Derecho! We got hit last year. I lost power then for 4 days. It was a disaster area. I hope it doesn't repeat.

Another nice warm day in what has been a very pleasant spell for us

Beautiful outside!

Well weather-wise I think summer has finally hit SoCal. It's in the high 90's today and according to our forecast will be over 101 by the weekend. However warm that is, I wouldn't recommend any of my fellow Californians to go to Palm Springs or Death Valley (although don't know who goes there) as they said highs there......120ish.

Well one thing's for certain, I won't hesitate to walk down to the pool and take a dip.


TIS

120ish? That sounds deadly.

South Jersey / Philly is in its second heat wave of the year. So many consecutive days of 90+. It's been icky-muggy. Suppose to break tomorrow. Thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow. Last weekend I was at the beach. Gorgeous. 75 degrees, light breeze off the ocean, water temp 70.

I heard that the temperature could possibly reach 129° in Death Valley. That's only five degrees less than the highest temperature EVER recorded on earth! That's insane hot!

You know what they keep telling people out there- It is a dry heat!

Yeah right 129 is still hot! Dry or not.

Oh yea FS, you got that right. Years back when my parents would visit in the summer, it would get high 90s or so and they'd say the same thing, "I thought it was dry heat, no humidity." But, you're right HOT IS HOT!!!

That being said, every time I fly back to MI in the summer I feel the humidity the minute I step off the plane.

TIS

Well, it's 99 right now. We are facing 100s into the weekend.

It's in the low 90s here, although it's in the triple digits over in the Inland Empire. It's hotter than nickel night at a brothel.

It'll be relatively cool in Vegas.... only 115°

That massive Southwestern heat wave is hitting AZ hard. Going to be 103 today here in the High Desert (usual high: 86). Close to 120 in Phoenix, higher in Yuma.

I just talk to a good friend in Las Vegas and him and his wife say that it is so hot right now that you can't even step outside on the astro turf without burning your feet.

It is not only hot but the strong sun will toast you very quickly if not protected or careful.

Even the cat refused to go out.

Grabbing a metal car door handle or a seatbelt latch will burn you if it has been in the sun very long.


Yet there are lots of near naked ladys by the pool in the casinos. Lots of cool mist machines running around town.
and it is about 15- 20 degrees less up at MT. Charles not far from the strip.

In Death Valley .... the overnight LOW temperature was 101°.

Ha ha. I have only been thru Death Valley long ago and to tell you the truth, don't know why anyone would want to go there, let alone live there. (IF people actually live there.)

FS mentions Vegas though. I gotta say, I have been there in the summer and it IS HOT!!! The upside..... cheap rooms, less crowded, more free drinks and little perks. But to walk down the street...even at midnight??? You roast your ass off.

They said, for us, it'll cool down by the 4th. So maybe we'll hit only the high 90s.

TIS

Dry and warm, but overcast. No Death Valley type temps here

It's only 7:00 a.m. here. I just got back from my run and it's hot already. It's suppose to get to 102. I may just go down to the pool today.




TIS

I have not run anywhere but I may just take myself off to the pub, where nobody ever cares about the weather

Good for you TIS, but here is a little runner's advice I heard years ago; it is not advisable to run when the humidity and temperature combined exceed 160. So 80 degrees and 80 humidity is the limit.

I like Yogis barometer. A man of great wisdom.

Hey MC. How ya doing?

Well I usually am out the door at daybreak and although I can feel it's gonna be a hot day, the humidity is not that bad. But that is good advice. Then again, I NEVER overdo it, trust me.

Yea, I like Yogis barometer as well, especially on a hot day.


TIS

Thank you TIS and MC, I am indeed a man of great homespun wisdom which is free to all my good friends

Record rainfall in Atlantic City for the month of June - 9.27", quite a bit when you consider the average for June is 2.5". July is starting off the same.
