Default HEATWAVE IS COMING! Anyone else feeling this?

It was 80 degrees here in Pa at 9:30am. I was just wondering if anyone else is avoiding the heat. Id love to go work on my car but my garage is not the coolest.

If I want A/C I have to go to my garage. I'm at home now waiting for someone to show up and fix my house A/C!

Try 80 degrees at 3:00 am. 9:30, that`s not bad.

Wait until tomorrow Jason. They're calling for 100 in Newark with a heat index of 105. Sure beats -20 temps for Northern NY's winters. Think snow and you'll cool off. LOL

Colorado is burning down. We had 96 degrees Sunday with 35 MPH winds. It was 100 on Monday with a less than 10% humidity. Very dry, very hot and very windy. No end in sight through the weekend.

Depending on what weather forecast you listen to here, it is expected to hit 93-94 degrees. Yesterday on one of our thermometers it read 93 degrees in the late afternoon.

Default HOT

I am in central Jersey and it's 95 out right now. I just got back from a short trip

in the firebird, had to test the cooling upgrades!!! It would't break 190 sitting at a long light
and dropped back to 185 at takeoff and cruise. Now it's pool time, got plenty of COLD
beer and plan to grill later. Days like this I drink more water than beer when outside in the
pool. Stay hydrated guys.

We have seen 98 here and at midnight it drops to 79. The saving grace is the wind blowing over the state.Which cools it off by about 6 degrees.

Punch, I know what you are talking about. I lived in Kaplan for 2 years. All I can say about the summer and humidity there is oppressive.

Finally warming up here on the beach in SC, about 85 today after an unseasonably cool spring. But hey, who's complaining.
