The Weather Where You Live? (4 Viewers)

Been in the triple digits the past few days, with it barely cooling off at night (last night was 82°F - 27°C) and the humidity isn't helping.
Today is expected to get to 108° (42°C)
Tomorrow is expected to be 111° (44°C)
Thursday's forecast is 110° (43°C)

And it doesn't look like any temps below triple digits for the next week, either...

A little warm today......116 F (47 C).

How do you handle that heat?

Fishboy · Jul 24, 2018

Well....living here for years does help. June/July are generally the hottest months, with it normally 103 - 108, but those temperatures aren't "bad"..... and yes I know how that sounds. It's also very dry.....don't have to deal with heat AND humidity. But you really start to notice when it's 110+. Above 115 is dangerous. We deal with it by staying inside if at all possible. If you have to go out, minimize your time, and HYDRATE. That is the key. If you start drinking water after you go out, you're already behind.

Last year, they had to cancel some flights out of Phoenix because their max takeoff temperature was 118 and there was a forecast of 120. Believe it was some of the regional aircraft affected.

There's been a few occasions when Redding Muni (RDD) has had to restrict traffic due to high temps, though I can't recall if nearby Benton Field (O85) ever has.

Lovely sunny day. Around 28C/82F...

That temp would be a problem for several commercial aircraft.

A number of years ago my wife and I attended an International Kiwanis Convention in Phoenix in July. We had a relative living there so stayed extra days. Knowing of my love for golf they set up an evening tee time. One brought his golf cart so I could ride. To make a long story short I was the only one to not ride.At times all three were on the cart. A memorable round of golf.

Another glorious day. Sunshine and blue sky. Around 30C/86F...

107° (41°C) outside at the moment with extremely thick smoke from a massive wildfire that's actually gotten inside of city limits here.

The Carr Fire is over 20,000 acres and growing, Shasta, Keswick, French Gulch amd several other towns have been evacuated.

I just now took a photo for this post, to show how dark it is here at 15:28 in the afternoon.

Sorry to hear about the wildfire. The last couple of summers have been really rough in the western US. Last summer we drove to the northwest US to see the total solar eclipse (which was amazing), but on our way home it was nothing but wildfires almost all the way. Today was only 111 in Phoenix. Can't wait for October.

with all of the fires raging through California, the fire fighters would welcome the rain. Hot and dry here.

Here as well, it's bl**dy hot here and haven't seen rain for weeks. 38 C during the day and 25C during the night. Did the NL suddenly move to the Sahara?

No I think it immigrated to the EU.

Didn't know the EU was in the desert.
