Heat Wave
« on: July 12, 2014, 07:31:26 pm »
Not sure exactly how long this hot weather will stay around but its tipping the scales here @ around 90 in the shade.  It does not happen often on the coast but when it arrives its like a massive wall of oven hot air.......... :P :P :P :P

You Floridians are accustomed to it.  I actually like the warmer climate especially good for the arthritic joints   :laugh:  this is why so many Canadians & Northern Americans  retire in Florida.  Its all good    ;D

90, move inland a little where were in the 100's
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Years ago I met an retired man from San Bernardino Valley.  He use to come up this way every summer to escape the 114dg heat and smog during the early 80's.  He was a character he liked his scotch & smoked salmon.

In central Texas, we call 90 degrees in the shade Spring. It's been unusually mild this summer so far. Only 99 or 100 most days. Last few years it's been 105 or better with the occasional 110 to 112 by now. I guess it's all in what you get used to. I know I'm ready for fall!

We have been having cooler than normal weather so far.  Been in the mid to high 70's and low humidity.  We live three blocks from Lake Michigan so our weather is pretty decent all year round.  Even the winters can be tolerable.

Here in Arkansas the summer time temps can top 114 with 95% relative humidity.  90 is cool for summer temps.

I now live near Monument Valley. It's in the mid-90s here and the wind blows nearly every day.

There used to be a t-shirt sold down in Phoenix, AZ that said it best. It depicted two skeletons sitting in lawn chairs under a broiling sun and one is telling the other, "Yes, but it's a DRY heat!"

In the dry season in the Nam you could take off your boots and shower.
Crease your fatigues as they dried instantly stepping out of the shower.
75 degrees was two blanket weather during the mansoon.
