This Heat Is Downright Brutal

Re: This Heat Is Downright Brutal

Yes, it blows and I coach high school tennis. 103 with god knows what the heat index was. We play matches in 9 days at 4:00pm so it is not like we can avoid it. We have to get out and get use to it....or at least the girls do. :>

10 years down the road when it is 120, we'll say, "I miss those day of the low hundreds." :-O

Oh yea. Good news is that at midnight, it was cooled down to a chilling 86 with a heat index of 89. For god's sake, this is North Carolina. It's not like we are in the tropics here. WTF!!! :>

Re: This Heat Is Downright Brutal

Here in Eugene it has been beautiful the past few days. Low to mid 70's and sunny, and in the 40's 50's at night, great for sleeping.

Re: This Heat Is Downright Brutal

Its been horrid in the midwest. I used to golf everyday around noon, and now go around 7:30 am instead, and its still near 90 by 8:30.

Re: This Heat Is Downright Brutal

Been about 8 years since we've seen temps like this for this long in the Ohio Valley. Gotten up to 100 degrees the last couple of days. That doesn't normally happen. The high humidity along with this is the real killer. I stood outside for about 5 minutes around lunch today and I was sweating something awful. I can't say I envy the folks who are working outside in this. Still, it doesn't top the hottest I've ever been, which was in the parking lot of a Burger King in the middle of July of 1996 in Yuma, AZ. It was about 120 degrees. I thought I was going to die and that was probably a typical summer day there.

Gotta love the Bay!

Yeah....you and Scott let me know how it is when you guys finally break off from the rest of the US and plunge into the Pacific!:wink:
j/k....my brother lives in Hollywood Hills.....he has a friggin' duffel bag at his front closet for when the "Big One" hits filled with "survival stuff"(knowing my brother it's candy)...
anyway...we had a TWISTER here in N.Y.C. yesterday that hit Brooklyn and tore up a some houses and trees for a few blocks....CRAZY!

While it does get super hot and freezing cold here in N.Y. sometimes(not that bad IMO) I'll take the FULL four seasons we get here ANYDAY.

Re: This Heat Is Downright Brutal

It's pretty bad around here....although today we've had some bad thunderstorms and tornado watches.

The humidity has been unbearable though. I tried golfing 9 on Monday and was drenched in sweat when I finished. Not exactly my idea of a nice, relaxing golf outing.

It wasn't that bad. It was hot, but the humidity was fine but I'm from the south so that was nothing.

Haha... Thats pretty good. You get used to the earthquakes. But, after seeing some of the homes in the Hollywood Hills, I might have a survival bag too.

Yeah. NYC seems like its getting hit with some Day After Tomorrow stuff lately!

Re: This Heat Is Downright Brutal

I'm not a fan of really hot weather so I don't mind the current conditions. The weather has been in the low 20's here the past couple of days.

It's good weather to wear a t-shirt and shorts in the afternoon but it's a little too cold for me at night to wear shorts.

I live in Palm Springs, so you can only imagine.

Re: This Heat Is Downright Brutal

This heat here near Springfield, IL is just awful. It's mid-90's all day, with "heat indices" near 105!

While the AC is nice, the fact that I can't take my hyper-energetic son outside w/o risking heat stroke is a pain in the ***. Not to mention the fried food awesomeness of the State Fair is this weekend and I'll have to drop $20 for hydration alone!

Did I mention how much it sucks to water the grass as well?

I hope this crazy heat wave breaks soon, it's getting damn annoying!

EDIT: And I have to mow the lawn this weekend...I HATE mowing the lawn with this humidity. My undershirt is damn near sheer when I'm done and all the neighborhood ladies can't keep their eyes off of me!

I much prefer the "dry" heat of Colorado where I grew up. Humidity is the devil's spawn.

You were in Pittsburgh earlier this week? Yesterday wasn't bad as it stormed all day, but earlier in the week the humidity was horrible. The only other time I felt humidity like that was when I went to Mexico. A 10 minute walk across the resort had me drenched in sweat. Same thing happened when golfing on Monday. After finishing the first hole, I was already sweating profusely.

I may have name of the area that he lives in wrong.....his house is worth about 3 million dollars. It's beautiful where he lives.
Now the area he has to drive through to get from his house to L.A. is.....umm......a little rundown, so to say.
Heck.....if I wasn't so attached to living in N.Y.C......I'd live in his guest house!
