How hot is it? 102 degrees with 85% humidity, which feels like 110 degrees outside. Today I get a call from my wife that her car will not start. I go get her and my car brakes down too. Both our batteries are fried. At the same time! :eek: It cost me $185 for my battery alone. Good grief. :mad:

Hey Jim thanks for taking that heat from us. We were done with it here in the midwest.

I know what ya mean. My AC unit hasn't shutoff once on it's own today. I shut it myself when the cleaning lady was vacuuming, but other than that it's been working non-stop.

I've heard of the nation's capitol shutting down when it snows, but heat...WOW. And it looks like the northwest get's a second dose this weekend...back to the mid-90's.
Earthquakes and tsunamis in Indonesia, Volcanos. The guy upstairs ain't too happy with the earthlings this year! Can't ya just hardly wait for winter! :eek:

I'm with you Reub's...
Kinda makes you wonder why we live in the mid-west... nasty heat in the summer nasty cold in the winter! I think we've talked about this before!?

Haha, sorry! We get our share of snow up here, prolly not with the winds that you guys do. Our house is half a block off the highest elevation in the city proper, so when the downtown is reporting rain and the weather service at the airport is reporting rain, we're digging out!

DC has always been known as having hot tropical summers. That's because it's built on a swamp and a little below sea level. However, I'm with Reuber, I hate winters more. Like Rick says, when it snows here everyone gets retarded. The worst drivers in the country are here including NJ and NY.

The midwest is like Tatooine with some Dagobah during summer and Hoth during winter. Why can't we have some more Naboo?
Yes, that's some Star Wars geekery for ya, but not geeky enough to be anything outside of the movies.

We've had a few 100°+F days. almost 2 weeks worth. its worse down south by vegas, those poor people get it around 100°+F days all through the summer, even most of there nights are 100°+F.
Everytime I had to stop and wait at a stoplight in my car, when the sun hit my skin; you could feel it burning.

I was in Vegas several years ago during the Mob years in summer. I walked from my motel room then ran to the court yard pool because I was stupid enough to go outside barefooted. It was a very short distance and burned the bottoms of my feet. Several blisters popped up. :eek:

It's about 90 here, much better than yesterday, but it's about to rain so the humidity is way up. Louisiana always has miserable summers.

Wow, those temperatures sound horribly uncomfortable.
The hottest it's ever been in Nairobi, Kenya is 40 degrees, and this can be unbearable considering it's dry heat, with only 10 or 12% humidity. But life goes on...

Samakimoto, I think you are in celsius, a scale of temperature measurement, we are speaking in Fahrenheit temperature measurement. Converting 102 degrees Fahrenheit into celsius is around 38 degress celsius. So, 40 degrees celsius is hot as hell.

I would rather go with the cold in some cases. Naked is the coolest you can get in the summer heat but with cold you can add layers. Not that I haven't had some bitter cold in my face that stings like the dickens. However, you don't suffer snow drifts in the summer. I am a Fall kind of guy. . .
