Any of you fucksticks who say that you'd rather have this than a cold Winter day can begin the process of fucking all the way off now.

It's 68 in Akron right now. They backed off tomorrow's high from 98 to only 96.

Lots of homes without power after last night's storm. Hopefully they get that back on soon.

I'm heading to Yosemite in mid-August. They keep having 90 degree days there. I shudder to think what it will be like in the middle of August/summer.

I agree, I spent time in NYC during the summer and I'd much rather have 100 in Phoenix than 90 degrees there. In San Antonio I can remember when it hit 90 you just didn't go out, it was too hot. The only bad part about here during heatwaves is it doesn't really cool down at night. I remember living in southern Oregon, 90 degrees during the day and mid 40's at night.

Dateline Seattle: Cold and wet; even for us web-footed people its been a bit much.

We've had about 28 hours total time above 70 degrees this year.
Only two days this year, April 7 and June 2 has it been over 70 degrees at all.
The current 7 day forecast does not have one day in the 70's.

Seattle rain total for the 1st half of June is 2.44", the wettest in 32 years.
Rain totals for April 2.71", May 3.82" and June so far 2.44".

Since 1945 the number of times that April, May and June all had 2.5" or more? Once
The number of times May and June had 3" or more?.....Zero.

it's a dry heat

I worked in deserts of West Texas for a while a few years back, and have lived my whole life in the swamps south of New Orleans.

I can honestly say there is a very noticeable difference between their heat and ours.
Some good, some bad.

There, it's so dry that you don't really sweat. Or you do, but it evaporates so fast that you don't actually get wet.
Here, the air is already a thick liquid soup. So the sweat has nowhere to go. Meaning you get drenched.

In the desert, you don't realize you're losing fluids, so it's easy to dehydrate if you don't know better. Can not stress enough how important it is to start drinking waters the night before, during the day, and even after the shift ends. By the time you start exhibiting symptoms of heat related illnesses, it's likely too late and an IV will be needed.
Here? you know damn good and well how much you're losing, so it's obvious you need to keep properly hydrated.

There, you will find a very noticeable difference in temperature if you find some shade. Problem is, there ain't many trees out in that part of the world.
Here, not so much. You may no longer feel the sun on your skin, but the air temp is still ridiculous.

out that way, once the sun goes down, the temps plummet. drops from 114° to 80°. Which might as well be 60° because a 35° drop is freaking huge.
here? it drops from 97° (feels like 109) all the way down to 91° (feels like 101°).

here we get a shit ton of rain. if it happens early in day where sun comes back out, then this place turns to an absolute sauna.
but if it happens late enough, where the sun never really get back to peak intensity, it does cool things off a bit.
there? doesn't happen near as much, but when it does, it's some serious thunderstorm wizard of oz looking shit!!!
