98 or so everyday. Heat index 113 today. Forecast tomorrow for 101, hi 115. Riding 60 mph is like a convection oven.

Well it was 42C yesterday here in Bangkok and the humidity was up in the 90s

But the air-conned bars are still overflowing with cold beer and hot women, so I ain't complaining

Pretty much the same here. 99 with a heat index of 106. If we hit 100 today, we'll break a record set in 1930.

Well, we got our record - 101. Forecast for 102 today that would tie the record. Personally, I'm hoping for 103.

What's the record overall for your parts of the world? Here in Louisville, our high is 107 (1936) and low is -22 (1994).

Ann Arbor, MI; maximum, 105 F, recorded July 24, 1934; minimum, -21
F, recorded February 10, 1912. Seems worse than it really is here in summer. We only average 10-12 days with temps =/> than 90F.

Watching the news this morning before heading out for work(5:30am EST)..........80F with heat index of 87F. 20min ride into work at 5:30 and the sweat glands were working pretty good.

The humidity here is so bad......in the mornings your cant see out the office windows due to all the fog/condensation on them, from the air conditioning in the building.

I took the Ducati out last night for a ride into the city for a beer with some buddies.
Moving I was fine, but when I camt to a stop you could just feel the heat from the bike mixing with the humidity in the air (wasnt a good time). The minute I got home and turned the key off it started to DOWNPOUR

When it's this hot - i stick to driving the truck (has A/C

)..

We're not setting any records. Down in ABQ it gets around 100F, and that's with thunderstorms rolling in. The rain cools things down to nice balmy high 80s and 90s. Up here in SF it is a little cooler.

82 yesterday. Maybe 84 today. <20% humidity. Mid 40s overnight. Thought about sweating yesterday but decided not to. Maybe tomorrow.

Happy trails.

Kentucky isn't exactly known for hot weather (just very indecisive weather

) but it's hot here too. even by 9:30 am, it was 90 degrees and the humidity makes sweating useless. I guess that makes this a "Me too" post.

I'm in the Chi-town area as well... I went to work on the 77 yesterday, opened the garage door and heat poured out, I said no way---it's off to the pool for me.

Proteal---Morris has a big cruise night coming up that you should bring your shoebox to. On average there is about 800 cars, very well organized.

Thats allit bit of a haul for me.
Not that the car can't make it, but the driver is the issue (that car is an oven)..
You should make it out to the last of the TonUp Chicago events before the snow comes...

we're bumpin 100 today in the Mountains,
no air moving, high humidity.

I swung the chainsaw this morning (a chain saw warms a fellow
up even when its below freezing:)) I decided to take the
afternoon off.

I live about 3/4 of a mile from Lake Michigan. This morning @ 8:30, it was already almost 80, but it's usually breezy, so not too bad!
BUT this past weekend and up til tomorrow, I've been moving over there from Grand Rapids...I've never sweat so much in my life! Almost done....

Bob Wessner · « **Reply #42 on:** August 08, 2007, 02:14:05 PM »

Where are you on the Lake, anywhere around Holland?

bill440cars · « **Reply #43 on:** August 08, 2007, 03:18:54 PM »

Wasn't too bad this morning at about 8 or 9:00, but now is about 98 with 108 heat index here in Western Arkansas. Just to go outside will have you swearing in no time at all!

Later on, Bill

Atlanta will be 100 today with a heat index of 115. To top it off, the air quality is very bad. It is not recommended to be outside between 1pm to 8pm for any extended period.

I was in Savannah, GA over the weekend and it was horrible. Heat index was 119. The air was unbelievably thick and muggy. We went to a concert at a small, smokey, and poorly cooled club. We walked outside after the show (about 10:30pm) and it was hotter outside!!
