This weekend in Death Valley....129.5 and 130F. That's cookin! Could be a legit modern record as the old 134F in 1910 seems improbably with other stations in area reporting in lower. 130, 134...F, whats the difference....ITS HOT! But its a dry heat.....Pshhhh!
 
That sounds awful! I hate it when it gets over 80 here! I like spring and fall! I like 50-70 degrees im not a fan of bitter cold but I can't tolerate heat at all. I get more done in the winter spring and fall because in the summer I just want to stay inside with the ac!
 
It was 105 or a bit more here earlier, very much "out of season." Broke a record LOL. This week has been hovering from low 90's to banging on the 100 door. This reminds me of the summer of 73, my little brother was killed in a crash. I drove up here from NAS Miramar for a month's leave. it was HOT but I was used to it being stationed in San Diego. I don't remember if I had the AC re-connected in the RR or not, I had the 340 swapped into the 70 by then and there was a period of time that the "hang on knee knocker" system was not in the car, having gone from 440 to SB
 
Last year this time we were on vacation in Arizona
About 120

Didn't feel as bad as 90 does here in Michigan
That humidity I what kills ya
 
I made a trip to El Dorado Hills (NorCal) this afternoon ..
It showed 115° on my data center when I got back on Hwy 50. Really unusual for that area.
 
115-122 here for the last week or so. Currently at 9:45, its 110, on the way down to overnight 104°.




Weekend guests/best friends over for the fourth weekend......




And the central air blew up, literally, on July 3.



And the stupid long hair gsd's still wanna go outside and play ten times a day.

Wait.....
134 back in 1910? They didn't even have A/C then. Far fewer factories and hardly any cars on the road. How did it get so hot without millions of cars and global warming factories?
Its as if the Earth heats up even without our input.
 
I am fine between -30 and 105.... anything outside that range is just miserable !

You vacationed in AZ during July?
On purpose ?
 
When I was 19 I was skiing Spirit Mtn in Duluth . It was -20 or colder and when I walked into the Chalet my contacts fogged up !

absolutely
We don't mind a little heat

And we travel with those friends all over the place, Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, shoot, we got off a plane from South Carolina not 2 hours ago
 
I had days like that on the project in Qatar. We shut down 50,000 workers in camp well before that point. I figured out that blocking in the "hot" water heater in my A/C'd cell allowed a proper cool shower than the naturally heated warm water. I could have patented it.

Hell, here in north Idaho records have been broken though we hit low 90's today I will awake windows open to maybe 60 in the morning. The fires have started...

I remember it being 111 in placerville in about 98 or 99. Over 100 we very common in the summers growing up there. Lived in Sac about 10 years ago and that was the worst. About 4 years ago it was 115 in Fairfield, with the bay humidity, that sucked...

Was 106 on the SW Washington coast 2 weeks ago. The darn weather app for the area tops out at 86, was way too hot...

The wife is from Topeka and lived in Tulsa for a while. When she told me what the climate was like I thought "That's worse than MN !" Hot and humid summers and cold rainy winters.... I would rather have -20 and snow than 33* and drizzly or ice storms.
