NYC hot is worse. Add in the pollution, haze, stench, horn honking, subway stations, traffic, tourists,bike messengers & a gazzillon people, you’ve got a recipe for pure misery unmatched anywhere on this planet. [emoji16]

And heat radiating of the sidewalks & buildings--unbearable--construction rules were -if a combination of heat & 20 % of the humid reached 100--work ended /union contract--lots of times crews went home 10:00 AM--& they got paid for the day

And I was a contractor filling the envelope--gotta love NYC & NJ cajing, cajing--great place to make $$ but a lousy place to live--exceptfor the restaurants--in NJ I hit singles & doubles--NYC every job was a home run

I recall my shoes sinking into the softened pavement of Mid-Town as I walked to the train station on those very very hot days .

Yep.

It even got unbearably hot and humid when I was a teenager in Nebraska...but you always knew it wouldn't last.

It seems 'summer' started here back at the beginning of May and the thought of probably 2+ more months of it...is a bit depressing.

On the flip side, putting up Christmas decorations while wearing shorts, instead of running inside every 15 minutes to thaw frozen fingers...will have me smiling.

Second day in a row 90 degrees here in the Adirondacks. Last time we had a 90 degree day was 2013. This is unbearable for me. Bless those of you that worship this.

There has not been a day since the first of May that the high temperature in TV has been as high as here in Kansas City.

Chatbrat is correct DaddyMac. I worked Local 25 IBEW, site temps were recorded both summer & winter. Thermometers were located throughout the job. Remember, living well is the best revenge.
