    Look at the bright side, you only have to deal with that kind of heat a few weeks in a year

    Well, it ended up breaking the all time record for heat today. 104 degrees with 26% humidity. 3,000 people are without power, six people hospitalized and one person is fighting for their life right now from heat related illness. Duke Energy also warned thousands of South Carolina customers that they are going to lose power during this weekend’s heat wave due to a substation that they expect to fail due to the energy demands.

    I gave up working on the garden. It was just too hot. It got to the point to where I would work for 10 minutes and it would take me 20-25 minutes to cool down. I think I'll just start working on it again at sunrise.

    Yeah, I know but this isn't the hot season. Our normal high for this time of year is 88 degrees.

    Our summer is over and the clouds are rolling in along with some rain. Even here near the equator we didn't reach 104. By the way, I'm back home.

    I was in Bloomington, IN earlier tonight and my Edge was telling me the outside temp was fluctuating between 107-108. When I got home it was 105. The temperature has now dropped to 89.

    101 yesterday, here in Chicago land. It doesn't bother me, as it felt dry. However, if it's only 85 F and humid, I'm miserable.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. It's currently 95 degrees with close to 40% humidity at 9:00PM. Still miserable but I can deal with that. Today was ridiculously hot from about noontime on. It looks like this will be the norm until Monday when it will stay down below the three digit mark.

    I wonder where in the U.S. is the most hot and humid. I will make a mental note to avoid that place.
