Hot enough for you?

http://time.com/4406219/weather-forecast-heat-wave/

"Weather forecasters are predicting a massive heat wave beginning next week that will bring unusually warm summer temperatures from coast to coast in the United States.

The heat wave is centered in the midwest and will likely extend throughout the entire country with the exception of the Pacific Northwest, according to projections from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Forecaster expect temperatures to exceed 90°F in many major cities. Places like Las Vegas and Phoenix could experience temperatures that top 110°F, though models this far out are subject to some uncertainty."



Stay cool, midwest NA'ers.

  • We're already getting a heat wave this week.



    The local reading in my neighborhood was 101-102 yesterday, with heat index in the 120 range.

    The official reading, further in town, was a few degrees lower.



    Same kind of nasty today.





    Took a late-evening walk with the dog and it felt like I was going into my attic during the day.

    (though I'm sure yesterday my attic was 130+ deg)





    Not looking forward to another week of this, at all.





    I thought I moved far enough north (and close enough to the coast) to avoid the worst of the heat (like I used to get down south).

    And stayed far enough south to avoid real snow.



    The last few years, we've gotten plenty of both  







    EDIT: the comment in the link about Phoenix is bizarre, though.  I thought we regularly hear about them getting into the 110 - 120 range.

    Didn't think 110 was newsworthy for them.
  • Yeah, last night about 8:30 I was chilling with the air conditioner on, and I thought, well, the sun's gone down. I can turn it off. I checked my phone and it was still 85 degrees.  
  • I picked the wrong time to remove my air conditioner.
  • Phew, I JUST got back home from Las Vegas. I heard warnings that it might be hot there, but Monday and Tuesday especially were pleasant with a nice breeze.

    But here I am, back in the Midwest. It's been nice here too. No heatwave yet.
  • Last year was the warmest on average ever recorded (going back to 1880). I think we can break that record this year.
  • I want winter back...........
  • I'll take high temps every day of the week over below freezing ones. No complaints here!

    Within reason, sure.



    But my bigger complaint between those two alternatives, is that in terms of home HVAC use, cold temperatures are comparably expensive to hot temperatures to regulate, but only extremely high temps are probably going to lead to equipment failure, outright.





     
  • Well i work in hvac and when outside hits 90+ ill be looking at 130-150 in the attics i have to work in especially the houses built over 100 years ago. Ill much prefer freezing temps. Theres always a way to get warmer with more layers, heated jacket, heater, etc but once it gets real hot you cant cool down. And no bringing a fan into an attic does nothing its like sitting in front of a hair dryer
  • Heat has been rough but DAMN that humidity, ugh can't even think without breaking out in a heavy sweat.

    The hot summers is the reason I installed a pool.





    Nothing makes the heat more tolerable quite like a pool.

    Very. It's 104 here today, and high humidity, and even though it's almost unbearable, I'd rather have this than cold/snowy weather.
  • A solid 75 by the bay.



    Good luck!
  • 110 degrees in Las Vegas; makes sense to have a NHL team there! They'll be named the Las Vegas Slushies.
  • The chocolate chips in my cookies are melting on my desk.

    I bet it's probably pretty hot up in Canada right now. What is it, the low 70's? must be brutal for you  


  • I will take 100 degrees over freezing any day.



    I can function in the heat and actually love it. Maybe it's my sicilian roots lol.



    I may be hot, but i can get past it and be fine and still carry on.



    Bitter cold just sucks. Who wants to wear 9 layers and still freeze their ass off. Heck even regular cold 30-40 sucks.



    Also idk about you guys but when i get cold i like cannot function. I have fibromyalgia so that could be why i am so sensitive to cold. But i shiver real bad and i can't even think of anything besides how cold i am and counting the seconds to when i can get warm again.



    Add not being to ride my motorcycle and yeah......you can have winter.

    Oof. Moving won't be fun lol but you gotta do what you gotta do. All I know is, Sunday late morning/early afternoon will be a fun time at the arcade  

     
  • *Throws back a huge tumbler of iced tea.*



    *Huggles swamp cooler.*



    Been between the high 80's and high 90's in the Denver area the last several days. After having grown up in Minnesota, the low humidity of a semi-arid environment is awesome (which is also why the swamp cooler is a viable option).
