Topped 40C/104F here…And here too - 38C / 100.4F at 15.00 hrs !!!
Stealing my sun are you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And here I am sitting in the crisp cool of a winters morning (2C outside) with the sun blazing in from the north. Lovely way to start the day.
Come summer it will be a different story so you all have my sympathy.
"Yep" and looks like I'll have it till the end of the month.Stealing my sun are you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Mom lives in Lufkin and she mentioned that it hit 103° today with humidity at 51% (she hates it there, btw) - so 103 @ 51% puts the heat index over 120°, which has to be savage.We hit 105F today, projected for 108-110F tomorrow.
At least it's a dry heat ...

Our temp of 103° today with 5% humidity puts the heat index in the mid-90's, which is nice.
My dad's side of the family is from northeast Texas, where 90/90 is normal between May and September, and 100/70 or -/80 temp/humid was not uncommon. Your mom's gotta have it bad.
Yeah, she can't breathe and, because she had a major case of Rheumatic fever as a little girl, can't sweat.My dad's side of the family is from northeast Texas, where 90/90 is normal between May and September, and 100/70 or -/80 temp/humid was not uncommon. Your mom's gotta have it bad.

She was born in Southern Oregon (north of Medford) and moved to Anaheim in the late 50's. From there, she moved to Northern California in the 80's - so this east Texas humidity is something she is neither used to nor acclimated to.
The hottest I've ever experienced, was 128° in the shade at a place in Death Valley called Furnace Creek (aptly named, btw).The hottest I've ever seen a thermostat run is 124°, at Dharan in July 1992, but when it's that dry, shade actually can help. When it's humid there's no relief outdoors, and shade does you no favors.

Often used to get 49/50C (120/122) at Tabuk with hot winds but it was very dry heat.The hottest I've ever seen a thermostat run is 124°, at Dharan in July 1992, but when it's that dry, shade actually can help. When it's humid there's no relief outdoors, and shade does you no favors.
