So I can barely walk outside it's so hot outside and it's only 1pm.....supposed to get up to 97F and heat index 115-120....this is crazy heat. I'm planning on hitting up IKEA and then staying inside with the AC on and watch a cheesy action flick....The Rock comes to mind.....how's everyone else faring?

yeah, but you *know* it's bad when you walk outside at 10 or 11 pm or later, and it still feels like it's hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. That's how it's been around here for the last week or two

At 8:30 it was 91 with a heat index of 108....so yea i'm getting that feeling right about now....

And I only spent 50 bucks at IKEA

buffalo 80 feels like 85 with 80% humidity

 

[Squisher]

Well, you guys would get a kick out of seeing Squisher soaked to the bone like I was standing in a shower all from my own sweat.

I spent an easy couple of hours down inside of 4 different upsetters. Imagine standing inside of a small closet where it's 120F and steam coming up all around you.

I had 4 different calls for broken bolts which I was unable to spin out with a grinder. On one set I spent 40 minutes swinging a hammer hitting a prick punch, trying to work the broken bolt out, but couldn't do it.

I drank a half gallon of water in two swigs one time today.

Do any of you guys do hard labor in these extreme weathers all day? If not, stfu.

Do you?

Don't get him going, unless you want an e-lecture and want to be "pwned".

Cuz when I'm not in Rochester Hills it's only about 25 minutes away

Speaking of that can't wait to be back in RH

Hopefully me you and Lola can hang out....and hopefully it wont be hotter than the 10th level of hell

 

[RelaxTheMind]

When its 100ºF/~100% humidity outside and your have a black camaro with t-tops and you wear suit/tie to work everyday.... yes it does suck. My work and home feel great it just sucks having that sweaty feeling when your always wearing at least $400 worth of threads.

To get by it I turn my car on 15 minutes before I leave with the AC blasting.

 

[pyonir]

Hahahahaha...it's cooler here in Phoenix than it is in the midwest.

We had a overnight LOW of 95 a couple weeks ago.

 

[walrus]

It's cooled off considerably, but we just finished a 2 week spell of temps from 100° to 115°. not missing it at all. They say it's going back up later in the week.

 

[TallBill]

Well I worked outside all day in longsleeves and pants and body armor and a helmet. Go me? I'm sure it'll be way hotter once I get to Iraq.

Bah, "heat wave"! I was in the Bay Area two weeks ago and it was mid 80s with low humidity. If that's what qualifies as a heat wave to you guys, sign me up!

Yes, but on the other hand, when it gets down to 50, we're not running around in down parkas. I grew up in Minnesota, and I'm always amused by folks from down south in the winter...it dips below 50 and they act like it's the next ice age. Of course if it tops 90 I'm sweating like there is no tomorrow, so there are tradeoffs

Partly Cloudy/Windy

Barometer:

Humidity:

Visibility:

No wonder the home value's so damn high around here.

Iraq is hot beyond any reasonable belief...

You know it's hot when soldiers actually take off body armor because it gets too hot with it on, when getting shot is actually better than dealing with the heat. Good luck, and stay cool!

I took a 45 min walk outside and enjoyed it. Then I downed a whole thing of carbonated water.

It was 91F with a heat index of 104 here. Humidity ~65%.

It's quite the drive from Rochester Hills. My wife and I went on Thursday and Friday of last week and it was our first time in Ikea. It's quite the experience.

I was down at my apartment last night and we had the sliding door open. I couldn't imagine doing that today.

You are from RH as well?

Anyways, It's 83F at 7:26AM. I don't think I have ever experienced that in Michigan before.

If you call us a bunch of northern wussies, I would like to see you mke it through one Wisconsin winter . Beleive me, you would be complaining.

Wisconsin pfft... try a Winter in the North Atlantic.. did it 3 times... its only weather.

IIRC, you were in a sub, weren't you?

A sub? there was an old saying even within the Navy about subs...

HELL NO I wasnt in subs..
I was Aviation... flight deck 18 hours a day.. lugging avionics and ordinance..
