I've been in 110 in 90%+ humidity.
Looks like this heat dome has reached the southeast. Atlanta is topping 90 today and the high is forecast to stay above 90 for at least 10 days.
It's usually around 85+ from the end of May to the middle/end of September. And muggy.Isn't that pretty normal for "Hotlanta?"
It amazing nobody talks about the horrible bug problem in the upper mid west during the spring and summer. You'd think only Florida has a problem with bugs. I never want to visit Minnesota in the summer again. Hats are a must.
Hotlanta is actually on a ridge, almost 1000ft, which normally moderates the hideous heat of the southeast. The most beautiful city in the spring time due to all of the azaleas and dogwoods. Growing up in a town just across the Potomac river from DC, melting during the summer before AC was a nightmare. The heatwave of 66, we finally got AC.Isn't that pretty normal for "Hotlanta?"

In Maine you kan experience many løveli lakes, the wøndërful telephøne system, and mäni interesting furry animals - including the majestik møøse fly.
Mynd you, møøse fly bites kan be pretti nasti ...
My wife drove out to San Marcos to drop of our daughter at camp. Hit 109 according to the car. It was so hot the Tesla slowed down its Super Charging.So Texas broke the record for highest energy demand today at over 75000MW, as expected. Was a disgusting 105 today in San Antonio.
A møøse once bit my sister.
Power went out twice last night, for a few hours each time in Northeast San Antonio last night.So Texas broke the record for highest energy demand today at over 75000MW, as expected. Was a disgusting 105 today in San Antonio.
Anyone who has made the tragic mistake of going camping in the Adirondacks (upstate NY) during Black-fly season can attest that the Northeast is far from immune to bug-problems as well!
Right here in Connecticut the Deer-flies can be insane in the woods during summer-time... and based on personal experience they attack in clouds, are unperturbed by 98% DEET AND they're a LOT faster then anyone on a mountain-bike!
yikes!Where the water go?
If you were ever in 115 degrees in Eqypt you might think differently.
Eh, I've experienced 115+ for extended periods in Tucson ... I'd take that over some other areas with 90+ and high humidity. The latter is like living in soup.
Completely agree. 110+ in the mojave is light years better than 90+ in manhattan/east coast.Eh, I've experienced 115+ for extended periods in Tucson ... I'd take that over some other areas with 90+ and high humidity. The latter is like living in soup.
The biggest difference (AFAIK) is that 115 in very low humidity means you can sweat, and it evaporates
high humidity prevents sweating, which is pretty damn awful.
