It's Soooooo Hooooot outside.....

[Minnie's Mate]

I once heard a rotund comedian talk about his gig in Phoenix and the dry heat there. He said, "Dry heat, dry heat, well you can kiss may sweaty..." You know the rest!

One of my employees went to a conference in Phoenix in the summer one year. He said it was a dry heat, but it was like stepping into an oven every time you went outside.

Now, don't get me wrong. I hate cold weather and anything close to it. I'm not complaining about the 100 degree weather we've been having here in Atlanta 'cause I work in an air conditioned office and I put on shorts as soon as I get home and when I'm outside I don't mind it too much. I do draw the line with ties at 100 degrees and have been wearing Dockers and pull-over short sleeve shirts. But I do pray for the folks that work outside in the heat and pray that their managers have the good sense to have them report to work at 5:00 AM and let them go at 1:00-1:30 PM like our company does.

Other than that, anybody up for a bar-b-que? And pass the margaritas!

News said it was going to be 103 today with a heat index of 110...Keep hydrated!!!

[flyfshr]

We had 113 yesterday and on Sunday there was a heat advisory from 10am to 8pm. The temp on Sunday was around 110 and the humidity was around 60% or so it seemed. Even saunas and steam rooms are more comfortable.

Interesting weather....San Antonio area has been relatively cool until this week. My thermometer read 96 yesterday afternoon and that's as high as its been all summer. The sun has to spend all its energy evaporating off the moisture in the ground from our unusual rains. Pastures are green. Really strange for August.

Yea it has been in the 100's here and I just live about 25 min from moosetags.Heat index have been hitting around 115 though.Right now my temp gage in the vehicle was showing 96 and it is still early.
We have clear skies and no wind so you all know we are having a great time right now.
Hopefully it will turn for the better here shortly.I can not remember when it was this hot before.

Thanks TB,

As promised in earlier posts in this thread, I started a thread with more photos:

Also some information about cost. It’s 101 in my yard right now, and it’s just getting started.

Those sound like our normal humidity levels. BTW, Saturday my temp gage in the shade read 105.4! At 6:00 PM it was still 101. These are temps like Arizona temps!

Here's the current conditions at my location on the east coast of FL:

Wind from the E (080 degrees) at 12 MPH (10 KT) Visibility 10 mile(s) Sky conditions partly cloudy Temperature 89.1 F (31.7 C) Heat index 100.2 F (37.9 C) Dew Point 75.9 F (24.4 C) Relative Humidity 65%


For reference, I'm about 355 mi ESE of moosetags and Devoman, and 450 mi SSE of Minnie's Mate. We usually have a sea breeze here (it's here today), which moderates the temperatures.

I am expecting some afternoon breeze here shortly also.That is one thing I really like about living on the beach.There is always an afternoon breeze whether it is 1 mph or stronger.Oh and no Mosqitoes or bugs.
This heat is still killing me though.I just went to get the mail and I started to sweat just walking across the yard.

We're in Anchorage, AK today. Yesterday here it broke a record high ( by 1 degree) think it got to 82.

So much cooler than what we left in SC last week.

We're off to Denali today and then down to Rangles by the end of the week.

We've already done a small boat trip into the Kenia Fijords that was the best we could ever hope for.

I'm going to hate going back south for certain.

Not two miles from Anchorage Intl. Airport coming in we saw an Argo Moho with "ARGO" on the side, in a storage area. Lot's of SOB's and numerous AS TT's.

So Glen, did you bring your Airstream motor home or did you fly?

[Cottonboll]

It is so hot here in Memphis that all my popcorn popped in the field, the dogs thought it was snowing and froze to death.

[Goin camping]

It is sooo hot... I saw a Coyote chasing a rabbit and they were both walking!

Next?

[leefields]

[flyfshr]

Well it hit 105 in St. Louis today. Going to be cool tomorrow....only 99.

Glad the trailer is under cover at this time and not on the road.

Just got back from Columbia, Mo. moving my daughter into her dorm. It was 107 when we got there. It had 'cooled' to 103 by the time we left.

[GlenCoombe]

Tom, we actually didn't drive this year. Did take the big riveted aluminum tube of a 757 up to Anchorage to save time and gas.

Today we're up in Denali National Park and the gas to get us out of dodge and on the way to Wrangles National Park tomorrow was $3.38 a gal.

The weather up here today was overcast (clouds walking) and the temps didn't get out of the 60's for a high.

Donna,

Where are you in relation to Bozeman? Do you think paying for 30amp service at next year's International (June 28 - July 4) would be advised?

Thanks,

Randy
