The "Whose Heat Index is Highest?" Game

[shocksyde]

LOL! My dew point is only .5 degrees less than actual temp.

At 129F now. Before 11AM. It's been real, America. Good game.

If you were at my mom's house, you'd be right around 130F. YOU LIE!

Baltimore at 135, dew point of 85 right now... Dew points above 70 are bad. 85 is crazy.

Yeah, that's what's really blowing my mind, the dew points over 80.

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.

109 heat index. The dewpoint is "only" 77.

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.

 

[shocksyde]

NOON: Temp at 101, Index at 136. Do I hear 140? 140 going once... going twice...

Some dude died from the heat here in louisville. Be safe, drink TONs of water and take breaks. It can sneak up on you fast.
