For those of you who view this later on...at the time I posted this is said current temp 115.

 

But it's a dry heat...right!?

 

Yeah, I'd say this is mildly annoying at the least. 116 in the city today. 120 out west along the Colorado River. No thanks!

 

GOOD ONE, KEN!

 

We had record lows today!

75 degrees baby

Dippin into the low 50's high 40's tonite though. *brrr*

Should be back to mid 90's on Wednesday though

 

same here...it was freezing last night...it's going to be again tonight...

 

Tell me about it...I went camping this weekend (algonquin).... froze my ASS off in this freak weather system yesterday....It was winter in July...

F&#&##'N Canada!

 

Only 106 here in Sacramento, will probably need a light jacket to stay warm !!

 

Hey, Glenn...any free time after work tomorrow for a Toyo..uh...inspection? Tonight?

 

Hey Mike, e-mail me at work tomorrow and we can set up a time for after work. I e-mailed you this afternoon, and then our power went out so i don't know if you responded.

 

Didn't see your earlier email. I'll buzz ya tomorrow.

 

some say we'll have something like this within a week or too...

 

My brother flew out to Boston this past weekend to referee the MLS game (NE Revolution vs San Jose) but they got rained out. Only the second game in history of the MLS to get rained out.

 

How the hell did a soccer game get rainied out?

 

it's a little after 10 PM...and it's still 107.

 

geezus how do you stand the heat? and i thought southern california was bad... we usually get about 80 to 105 degree temperatures here during the summer

 

As most northern East coasters would agree the above is worth quoting!

 

in vegas...108 high and 87 low for tuesday

 

Geez, and I am willingly moving there in 2 weeks.

 

yeah i'll take your 120 with 25% humidity over out 90 with 85% humidity anyday

 

** sigh **

Have you ever been in 120 degrees?? Dry heat my ass. I'll take the humidity any day of the week over this crap. Humidity just makes you sweat more. This dry heat sucks the moisture right out of you. A 14 yo kid just died at a boot camp for troubled youths the other day. The lawyers are already circling....

 

Cool it off fer me Goldie... I gotta come out on business in August! 188 degrees and I saw an old woman driving with oven mitts on! BTW. my oven is a dry heat too but i don't live in there!

I'll get a taste of that, I'm going to Vegas tomorrow until sunday.

 

75 degrees, no clouds here!!

 

According to an azcentral.com article, six people have died of heat-related complications in the Phx area (Maricopa county) already this year and the heavy heat is just settling in. I didn't realize how hot it was yesterday until I was out hiking Squaw Peak in the late afternoon. It was friggen brutal. Felt just like the air in a sauna. After the hike, I felt little hard “beads” all over my hair on the back of my head. I had no idea what they were until I got home, looked in the mirror and realized they were large salt crystals from sweat! First time that’s ever happened...

And as Gold mentioned, the dry heat thing is way overrated. The sun literally seems to sear the skin in direct exposure. Even with all the complaining, I still love it here. Living two years in the Seattle area makes one appreciate the sun that much more.

 

So you're one of those crazy mo-fo's? There were probably all of 5 people there yesterday afternoon, eh? I went to take pictures one afternoon when it was 108 and the place was deserted.

But I agree... I don't care how hot it is, I still like it.

 

I have been called crazy many times for hiking it in the afternoon but I really enjoy the workout. Plus, there's a lot less people to get in the way at that time! Actually, when I was pulling in around 5:00, I saw a local TV news van doing a remote at the entrance to the park. I didn't pay any attention to them but a friend later said they had a segment talking about idiots who were doing stupid things like hiking Squaw Peak in the heat! lol!

It was a great day for pics. Very clear. I even had my camera in my car but forgot to take it up with me.

 

Damn,

In the bay area (san francisco and surrounding) it got up to 108. Setting recording temperatures. I try to keep my car indoors.

You should try hauling your ass along with 24 pounds of metal up a loose marble-ridden mountain with the temps testing the 110 mark! That's why I invested in some digital Niteriders.

 

I hear ya. The heat is just too much for me to ride in up here though (I've got a Klein). Now I get a chance to say it: you really are crazy to be going out in this heat!! Got the Niteriders to ride in the evening? Smart, it’s a lot cooler then...

 

I was exaggerating a bit when I said 120.

But yes, once when I was in Las Vegas it was 117. I do agree that its very hot
