That is unbearable weather.

Time to stay in A/C. Are you finding it hard to breath when out and about?

My cousin who lives in Phoenix and I had a discussion about weather where she claimed that 110 to 120 degree weather with no humidity was the worst. I disagreed saying she didn' remember what it was like in New York when it went to a hundred degrees with 100 percent humidity. She came east one year during a week with 100degree/100 percent humidity. After two days she was asking my aunt to drive to the airport to take a plane back home as she couldn't breath.

Stay cool dude.

Sigh... It is no better in the Chicago area. The forecast for today is 103! Can't wait to go south!

IMHO 100 degrees is HOT no matter where you are. Just different types of discomfort....

I am in Osage Beach at the Lake of the Ozarks. We are under a heat warning until Saturday at 7pm, and it will be 106 today. How they know it will cool off at 7pm Saturday, I don't know, but I sure hope that they are right. It is also very dry and dusty.

all of the above make my current 82 in the northern NYC suburbs feel great.

headed for the 90's with humidity for the weekend.

To me its all relative. I'd rather deal with 100 plus temps for a couple of months than 20 below zero up here in the chicago area in the winter. I would rather take clothes off than put more on. :)

My younger daughter is observing her 14th anniversary today (6/28) in St. Louis (currently 102, I think).

I reminded her that her wedding day was the hottest of the summer of 1998. She remembers it well!

For an outdoor wedding and reception, we'd several days before selected the perfect spot for the service. On the day, the spot was in full sun! Staff and others, including the groom, said "To h*** with the original plans, just move evrything into the shade."

Meanwhile, the bride was inside freezing to death because she hadn't thought to bring a cover up for her off-the-soulder gown! And, her husband's purple tie bled all over his shirt!

And, no one ate any of the hot hors d'oeuvres!

I agree with you on that! Fortunately I'm in an air conditioned office, and my a/c is on at home for the comfort of Mr. Magic Cat. ComEd (the local utility company in the Chicago area) should be raking in the big $$$ this month as Chicago has had a hot start to the summer. I surely don't envy the people in the Chicago area who don't have A/C.

My youngest sister and her husband got married on 6/13/1998 in a very old, un-air-condtioned Catholic church in Cincinnati. Hotter than blue blazes on that day, and I'm in a long bridesmaid's dress, sweating with all of the other bridesmaids and flower girls. Luckily the priest decided to make it an abbreviated wedding liturgy as my brother-in-law was not Catholic at that time. We were in and out of the church in 35 minutes -- thank you Father!

I compare my northern home city with Orlando all the time. Many days during the summer it is hotter with about the same humidity in Illinois than Orlando, Fl. or TV. Air Cond. has all of us spoiled but not so when I was growing up in Southern Illinois. Many nights during the summer we slept in the living room on the floor instead of our bedroom which was upstairs. Wow-----the good ol' days!

And I was thinking of getting a summer place around Waynesville (Caesar's Creek) to stay cool in the summers. Notice it's 98 degrees there today though! Oh well, so much for carefully laid plans. :laugh:

We had a screened in porch. My dad would take the chaise, my Mom the vinyl "couch" and I got to put some pillows on the floor! It was heaven!!
FYI- I was married in Winnetka, IL in August. No AC in church, and my reception was in an old mansion in the ballroom. Also not air conditioned. The outdoor temp on that day was 102... They had a swamp cooler in the ballroom though and it helped. I did feel so sorry for the band....

I'm in the Liberty area this month Ed. It is a scorcher! Way too early for these temperatures here! Plus rain is scarce. Feel sorry for the farmers, gardeners, and kids playing sports!

Reminds me of when Johnny Carson moved his show to California and the temps were 100+. He said that everyone keeps telling him "but it's dry heat" His answer was "So is a pizza oven".

Dinner outside here this evening in OH. One of my favorites - "Fried Eggs on Blacktop"............... :ohdear:

Temp touched 100 earlier this afternoon. But given the humidity levels aren't too high (in the 30s), it wasn't as uncomfortable as one would think.

Still..........it's hot!

Yum! Goes good with road kill of the day! :laugh:

Tip: Fry those eggs on the hood of your car so you don't have to bend over and not be able to stand up later.

Were sitting in a 3k sq ft rental that has no central Air. Temps going near 90+ again with the high humidity.

And I'm still hearing. " Your moving to Florida , It's to Hot" Somehow the constant breeze in TV and the pool in Tamarind Grove and a home with AC dosent seem so bad tight now

The Villages is a great place to be in the Winter - we enjoy it very much. But as soon as Spring arrives, it can't compare to the more northern parts of the USA. Yes, we have high temperatues and humidity on occasion (just like The Villages in the Summer). However, the dramatic change in the season rewards us with an abundance of flowers, new growth, and a lush environment that The Villages and Florida lacks. The golf courses are spectacular (far better than at any time in The Villages) and we get the occasional breaks between the heat waves. It is great to live in a country where you can travel to experience the best conditions at any time of the year.
