Yes. Now I remember what made it so hot.:hot:

94 with a heat index of 105. You gotta love the south.

Today, its supposed to be a high of 98 with a heat index between 105 & 110 here. HOT & HUMID! :(

Just forget about it. We're all dead. :faint:

Murfreesboro, TN isn't much better SD. Especially when you work in a warehouse without AC.

74F under fair skies right now, but, it's only 4:30AM. :( High today is expected to be 89F under partly cloudy skies. Another warm one.

Much as I hate the humidity, if anyone has a stray rainshower laying around that you don't need ... you can send it our way. Things are starting to dry out (although the creeks, ponds and streams still have running water in them).

You want rain, I want my snow back. Anyone know where I can get some of that wonderful white powder?

Columbia?

I think that's the wrong white powder Of.

No, there's plenty of frozen water on the Andes mountains in Columbia.

Whatever could you have mistaken that for?

Lol!

Hot And Humid!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep. Same here Soda. :(

We must all be at the same party.

And the trend continues. :(

Ditto.

:(

Effin' hot. Actual ground temps nearing 40C (100+ F), next three days. Heat indicies in the 120's F.

We've had 49days of 92+temps 29 of them at 100- 110 air temp heat index up to 117
7day outlook 102+

We actually got some rain today........and I got caught out on the bike in it. That makes twice this week.

Tuesday we got some and again on Wednesday. Good, I was afraid our humidity would star to fall. :shrug:

Okay, here's the forecast ...



That'd give ya' about a 75% chance of precip ... wouldn't ya' say?

Still freakin hot.

I got this in an E-mail thought you might enjoy. A new resident to Okla.

Dear Diary,



Just moved to Oklahoma now this is a state that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. It is beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.

June 14th:
Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshiper.

June 30th:
Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing the lawn for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

July 10th:
The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least, it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is taking longer than I expected.

July 15th:
Fell asleep by the community pool. Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body. Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.

July 20th:
I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag, then popped like a water balloon. The car now smells like Kibbles and Shits. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat. Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again.

July 25th:
The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.

July 30th:
Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now, $225,000 house and I can't even go inside. Lomita is the lucky one. Why did I ever come here?

Aug. 4th:
Its 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state.

Aug. 8th:
If another wise ass cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to strangle him. Damn heat. By the time I get to work, the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!

Aug. 9th:
Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and when I sat on the seats in the car, I thought my ass was on fire. My skin melted to the seat. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and ass . . . Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried ass, and baked cat.

Aug 10th:
The weather report might as well be a damn recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do shit for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this damn state? Water rationing will be next, so my $1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't live in this damn heat.

Aug. 14th:
Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today. Cactus are dead. Forgot to crack the window and blew the damn windshield out of the car. The installer came to fix it and guess what he asked me??? "Hot enough for you today?" My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail. Freaking Oklahoma . What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here?? Will write later to let you know how the trial goes.

Roflmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love it jay-t. Love it. :D

Raining cats and dogs!

Don't try catch anything with your tongue. Might get wet dog instead of wet pussy. LOL

London's lovely and sunny today. :thumbs:

Same here :) ... but by tomorrow they're predicting a resumption of the hot weather I was hoping we were done with. :(

It's still freaking hot as blazes. I want fall to get here....NOW!!!

With all those fallen leaves, rain and cold?

Hang onto summer while you can.

We set a new record today for most days 100+! 52days and they are calling for 100+ for the next week.wer've been under a burn ban since Feb. no outdoor cooking with charcoal. Propane only

Oldfart you can have whats left of our summer. please

I'm about to head into high 90s and 80-100% humidity for a few months.

Can't you store the heat somewhere for the forge?

Partly cloudy and 70F right now. Expected to get up to 91F today with a chance of scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. Guess I'd better get my walk in early.

Hmmmm a solar forge.I'll have to play with that idea

A couple of of old sat dishes and some broken mirors.

I may be wrong, but solar energy might not be able to be harnessed for a forge. You'd have to either make everything electric and use solar panels to convert it to usable energy, or find a really good way to concentrate the light into a focused beam hot enough to make the metal malleable. Then again, I'm also not a blacksmith or an engineer.

The French smelt ultrapure metals in a solar facility in the Pyrenees.

Like I said, I'm not black smith or an engineer. Though it would be cool if Jay-t could arrange a solar power forge.
