I just checked the tem and it is 103 degrees, hottern hocky sticks... Tomorrow we are likely to have the the same kind of nasty storms that knocked out our power last week. Try sleeping in a house with no AC when it's +90 outside and humid as crap.

We never had weather like this before they started messing around with that internet stuff.
Fortunately in this area most of our heatwaves are somewhat blunted. If the official temps call for 98 we'll generally see 91 in this locale. Likewise, most of our heatwaves end with nary a drop opf rain or a clap of thunder. Storms (sometimes very severe) pass to our south and north leaving this area unscathed. Even when storms do hit they tend to be shifted away from us giving us the mildest impact. The same happens in winter. NYC will get a foot of snow, areas north of us will get a foot or more and this area will get 4 or 5 inches.
Last summer when NYC saw 104 degrees this area only saw about 96-98.

I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
Animals are really suffering in this heat. Had a groundhog come ambling around my driveway looking for water, so I put a couple bowls of it out for thirsty passers-by.

Don't go to anyplace too cold. It will be like thermal shock. I've never been to the SouthWest. I would like to visit someday. Frankly I don;t know if I would be able to stand that heat. I mean 80's, 90;s even an occaisional 100 or so I can deal with. But 112+ ?? I really don't know.

I think the humidity broke here finally. It was quite nice outside today. 85 deg, and low humidity now that we got our rain. Expecting more tonight.
Hah !! You should have been down here this afternoon. Not only was it hot but incredibly humid. All you could do was drip sweat. And it's still not much better. Somewhat cooler but still in the 80's and nasty humid. I'm doing a barbecue tonight and I am about to go out for another round of sweating.
