Hottest I saw today for officially in Wyandotte was 129F heat index earlier in the day. Pretty sure you could probably cook an egg on the hood of my car today.

Wouldn't that also mean the dew point is like 110?

You'd think so...it'd be damned uncomfortable if it's accurate.

Of course, looking at that particular page...it seems like the dew point at that one station is MUCH higher than the rest...maybe it's underwater.
 
8:00, still nasty out but I'm sitting outside.

92.1 °F
Feels Like 124 °F

Dew point is STILL 86 °F

Notice the table Boomer posted doesn't even go up that high!
 
8:00 pm and 86F feels like 91F
I feel bad for my heat pump, poor thing barely turns off this week. If we were not also in a drought I would let the water hose run over the coils to help cut down the run times. My water is free.

I don't have a clue but I'm hotter than a two peckered billy goat.

<---- No air condition at the shop = one frigging hot Engineer (10 hours per day on top of that).
 
tomorrow is supposed to be just as bad and I have a wedding to go to at 5pm

the church is gonna be a fucking sauna
 
We broke the record today. 102 with a heat index of 116. My city was the hottest in Michigan :'(

Still feels like 96 at 10pm...:\

Not sure where you're at, but they're calling for 102F with a HI of 115F around here (Philly area). Better hope the big bearded man in the sky bestowed some kick-ass AC on that church.

As of right now, it is 96.4F with a dew point of 83F (ungodly humid) in Baltimore, MD. The heat index is 122F. Melty!

Weather Underground

Update: Up to 127F in Baltimore. Up to 131F at my work near DC.

I don't know what it is outside, but I've been taking readings all around our annealing furnace... which even being off is rather large and hot. Thermometers up there were reporting 130. We're trying to make sure nobody is working up there for more than an hour or so as it can be quite dangerous at those temps.

Holy shit people!

That station is definitely not accurate.
