104 degrees Sunday

think tomorrow will be the hottest day ever here. High 90s common over 100 very rare. Have extra window AC offered to bring down for dad he said no.

i'm just hiding inside until early tomorrow morning... go out for a short while and get some spot weeding done and that will likely be it for the day.

Not quite 100 here, but mid-90's & very high humidity. This is a very long heat wave; it appears the 90's might be over for now, but still mid- to upper 80's even 10 days out. Looks like we get a real summer this year; can't complain as long as the garden is prospering, and we have AC to let us sleep at night.

We were sitting on 98* in the shade yesterday...not sure how hot it was out in the sun. Low humidity right now, so I can bear it, as long as I'm not out in the sun too long. In the shade it was many degrees cooler, so it was like stepping from a furnace into a cool room to walk out of that sun into the shade.

We have not reached the 90s yet this year. Have only been in the 80s a few times. The high on Monday is going to be 68* and 82* for the fourth. Hope you all stay cool in the heatwave over there.

at 1:30 it's 96* with a heat index of 112* this piece of white sugar is staying inside till this evening.....

They said heat index 110 what is a heat index ?

when the humidity gets high then your sweat doesn't cool you off as much so it feels a lot more hot out there than it is.

when your sweat rolls down your back into your shorts, it's time to come in......

I have posted this before but worth repeating. One summer day I ended up in ER with dehydration and had to get IV fluids. The Dr treating me said the best thing i could do was eat a banana every day. Simple, cheap and tasty.
