I looked at the weather in TV. 105, with a Heat Index of 126?

I've played golf (18 holes walking) with a heat index of 103/104 ... but 126?

Did people actually go outside today?

Of course people go out. And the heat index was no where near 126.

No different than last summer when ABC news showed a segment claiming the WATER temperature off the Florida Keys was 105!!!!!! I wonder if there was a single idiot out there that believed that, but then I realized that there are millions of idiots who buy into this garbage. If the temperature in the Gulf of Mexico with trillions of gallons and 2-mile depth in spots could climb to 105, why wouldn't the pools in TV be boiling. Where were all the dead fish???? Meanwhile, they had a reporter standing right on the beach----why not show him putting a thermometer in the water and show the world the "105 temp". Yep, we all know why. With $168 trillion proposed to fight "climate change", I wouldn't put anything past those that stand to gain.

I think if the water gets to 145, those fish would be safe to eat! :1rotfl:

I doubt it. I played golf yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, walked with a pull cart, and though it was hot I think I've been out there when it has been hotter. I was far from the only person out there: on very hot days the courses are pretty much deserted.

It is like the cold up north. Nowadays it is a big deal with ultra-cold temps seemingly leading every newscast, but back in the day we'd check the thermometer in the mornings: if it was -20 or so it was "cold" and anything below that didn't matter. It was just more of the same. Some mornings it was below -40. How much below we didn't know because mercury freezes and breaks the thermometer at that temperature.

People obsess about things like that and media merely feeds the frenzy. Cold--hot--take sensible precautions and don't let it control your life.

I’m sure this was probably mentioned before on the countless ‘climate change’ threads...but I probably missed it......when did ‘Real Feel’ which is trademarked, come onto the scene? Just give me the damn actuals and i’ll make up my own mind as to what it feels like!

Not at our house (Lake Sumter area) for sure ! It was about 92, worked in the yard a good part of the day, and certainly hotter than any summer I remember for many years (Florida native) but 105, no way. High tomorrow is predicted to be 84, 72 tomorrow night, more typical. 105 ? 126? sure you Alexia wasn't telling you about Arizona ? LOL !
