We laughed at the 118 because it felt nowhere near that to us.

You mean different weather sites report different high temps for the same location???? Perish the thought, never happens

Or is one of those readings absolutely correct and the other absolutely wrong?

Somebody may need to change their way of thinking.

I played tennis yesterday (Monday morning) and all of us said it was the hottest we have felt. We cut it short for the first time that I recall in the 16 years I've played here. I didn't check the real temp. Just jumped in the pool as soon as I got home.

Apple Weather App.

Carrot had similar information. When I didn't believe the Apple App, I checked on Carrot.

The closest NWS station is Leesburg Airport, which reported a max Heat Index of only 110 - yesterday ... Time Series Viewer If you don't like the heat, blame Tonga - not CO2.

NWS 95 heat index 108

Yes and No. Heat index is a function of Temperature AND Relative Humidity. See NWS chart for details -- or visit the Weather Club ... The Villages Weather Club

Ahhh....the Weather Club....more aptly named THE WHETHER CLUB. It is whether you want to believe opinion (theirs) or scientific facts (backed by thousands of peer reviewed scientific publications).

Run by pseudo scientists with no applicable degrees, the Whether Club presenters rely upon fabricated opinion that is not supported by a single peer reviewed scientific publication. Peer reviewed articles are the gold standard in science. If you ask the Whether Club presenters for any peer reviewed article supporting their statements, they will just simply claim that the peer review system is totally political and leave it at that. All they have is their opinions purportedly backed by no science whatsoever!

So, if you attend a WHETHER CLUB meeting, wear galoshes. They are not for the rain but for other fluids that seem to flow in those meetings. Fluids that you don't want your skin touching!

The appeal to peer (or pal) review is dangerous. Einstein faced numerous such challenges, and ignored them all, because politics is based on consensus, while science is based on data. The Weather Club uses data to illustrate why there is no climate crisis. Anyone is welcome to bring proof to the contrary -- but so far no one can -- although many have tried.

Also wind speed is a factor. Low wind speed like we have had lately makes a person feel hotter and makes exercise in the afternoon more dangerous than usual. Florida normally has wind speeds like around 15 MPH.

I would say that this is a good PRACTICAL warning. Age is also a big factor. A 55 year old may be able to handle the heat - whereas a person in their late 70s could be endangering their health. Playing tennis is for both fun and improved health. If it is too hot to be fun, then it might be detrimental, rather than beneficial, to your health. The same would be true for pickle ball, golf, and softball. The only sports activity that I will do THIS summer is swimming because of my age mainly. Also, the summers are getting hotter and the gulf and ocean waters are hotter each year for the last 15 years. So, there is more moisture in the air, which jacks up the "feels like" temperature.

When power is rapidly reapplied, it tries to start against a high head pressure and can be hard on a compressor. Or the motor start capacitor

SECO could advise people to turn their thermostat up before they swap out the meter to reduce this risk

What did SunKool find?

Sun Kool found the rotor motor was damaged and replaced it for a cool $800+.

Lived in Florida much of my life and have rarely experienced temps above 100. Tampa's record high is 99 deg, lower than many large NE US cities.

To cool off, visit Philadelphia. The had record snowfall yesterday

Thanks for the snow/hail report. There are "COLD" weather "record" reports occurring everyday around the world, but the media rarely tells you -- but you can find some of those stories here ... Home - Cold Weather Report

We’ve been in the mid to upper 90’s for a week up here. That’s why we go to the beaches, mountains and lakes....to enjoy summer. In a month or so ppl will start the ‘sun is setting to early’ or ‘it’s too cold’ whine and cheese talk. Such a short window....the four seasons anyway. Gotta love having options in life
