It's HOT!... Bot's annual weather rant...
06/21/11 at 10:32:23

Arizona is on fire... both figuratively and literally....

It's gonna' be 105' today... 110' tomorrow... but, don't worry,... it's a dry heat...
I know that, because the second I go outside, there's a great sucking sound as the sun pulls every drop of liquid from my body...
The good news?... with 70% of my body gone (the liquid part),.. the diet is going great... I now weigh 42 lbs...

Did you know,... that the official temperature here is taken from 14ft above ground in the shade?.... It's true!... I don't know about other places, but that's how they do it here...
Ironically,... I spend very little of my day, 14ft above the ground in the shade...
The other day, when the official temp was 105',... I pulled my patio thermometer into the sun, and within a minute or two it read 126'...

... and our one and only solace, here in Tucson,.. is... at least we're not in Phoenix...

105' today,.. 110' tomorrow,...
...time to stick another Popsicle down my pants.... Huh

Reply #3 - 06/21/11 at 11:09:23 Ya man It's been hitting 100 here in central Texas.. I took a 400 mile trip last weekend and was totally fine until getting back into Austin, which seemed to drive the temp up 10 degrees or so.. that plus sitting at a light in riding gear + FF helmet = DYING OF HEAT

Reply #5 - 06/21/11 at 12:26:39 It's 92 here now, weather channel says "feels like 98" LOL ONLY 49% humidity today, so maybe that's why it only feels 6 degrees warmer. I say its HOT, but I ain't complaining. I prefer HOT. Guess I should move to Tucson or Austin

For what it's worth, today is the summer solstice which makes it the longest day of the year, so starting today the days will be getting shorter. Don't know if that helps or consoles anyone but I just thought I'd throw that out there.

Been triple digits a lot here in New Mexico lately as well so I feel your pain.

Reply #12 - 06/21/11 at 15:39:36 For at least the last four weeks it's been between 95 and 100 with no rain. Finally today, the pattern seems to have broken and we're due for rain and cooler weather the rest of this week here in 'bama.

Mid-90s and up for most of the past month, several days over 100*. The next 10 days are supposed to be cool and damp (okay, 90-94 and 60% or better chance of severe thunderstorms).

Positive spin THIS NOAA... Grin

Too hot to paint the bike, the Bug, the 49 Dodge, either house (inside or out)...

Ah well, we're picking and processing the larger sweet corn patch this weekend. 2 or 3 weeks ahead of schedule.

Radio said Colorado was under severe winter storm warning for 10K feet and higher today. Global warming my a$$.
