They pointed out on the weather report in Minneapolis last night that it was less humid in the Amazon jungle than it is here right now.

95 here yesterday, and I was servicing a press sandwiched between eight, 1200 degree (Celsius) furnaces for 12 hours. 91 would have felt nice and cool.

Green Bay had a dew point of 80°F. Only 3rd highest on record for G.B.

Dry Bulb temps where around 95°F

For reference, the weather people stated that anything above a dew point of 60°F will begin to feel humid.

Maybe they say this everywhere but if you're from the midwest you already know: "It's not the heat, it's the gosh dern humidity!"

Yeah, I walked as far as my garage before I said screw it and went back in the apt. I was covered in sweat in less than 3min. It's baaaaaad. Thankfully the Taurus has the best AC ever.

Same boat here in the Philly area. Projected highs are in the 90's all week, with 100 possible on Thur/Fri.

I workout every morning at a YMCA near my office. The free weight room is in the "basement" of the building, and it has no air conditioning. I get there right when they open at 5:30am, and it's already almost unbearable. I'm sweating like mad just in my warm up lifts. Real hard to get a good workout in. I can't even imagine what that room must be like at 4pm...

was 101 in houston yesterday, with the heat index they said it felt like 114.

it actually doesn't get over 100 here that often due to the humidity acting like a temp damper, usual summer highs are around 98 with 90+ % humidity.

It hasn't been too hot down here in AL. Only the lower To mid 90s.

I cleaned out the garage on Saturday afternoon to put my motorcycles away. I was lucky I didn't have a dad-burned heart attack...

Not to rub it in, but it's been 65 and rainy in Seattle all week and we are wishing summer would get here. I guess the grass is always greener...

Poor David Johansen. Laid the groundwork for punk, new wave and glam, remembered for a novelty song.

At least he sold it for some car commercials, so hopefully he's living off royalty checks now.

I am SOO glad I recharged the car's A/C system last week.

And, it really IS the humidity that does it for me. Can't sleep right, think right, do anything productive outside without emulsfying.

I knew it was hot yesterday, high was something like 96. But what really kicked it home was when I was driving home last night at around midnight. Sure it had cooled off to around 80, but it was now foggy. So far today up to 93 and still with the same humidity.

I caddies through the worst MI summer for like 50 years. I remember 90 degrees at 9 am. It was terrible. I also remember that back then, the normal procedure was not to turn on the drinking fountains till august 15th! We drank water from out towels, dipped in the Rouge River (that explains the 7 testicles and third eye).
