Rush Limbaugh said yesterday that this kind of heatwave "happens every year."

Then again, Rush Limbaugh is a complete idiot.
 
Yeah, that's what's really blowing my mind, the dew points over 80.

I live in a sort of humid part of TX and I think the highest I've ever seen here is 80. Wanted to spend the whole day in the shower.

At 85 I imagine anyone outside for more than 10 seconds would look like a drowned rat.
 
Baltimore at 135, dew point of 85 right now... Dew points above 70 are bad. 85 is crazy.

I'm guessing it depends on how far from the water you are. The science center station is reporting feels like 119, the south baltimore station reports 126, and the baltimore sun station says 136. All three stations are pretty close to each other, probably around 3-4 miles at most.
 
101°F

Heat Index: 104°
Dew Point: 64°
Humidity: 30%

Lots of the triple digit days this year have low humidity, so the sweat evaporates nicely
