"you can fry an egg on the sidewalk"- North Texas, 97 degrees
It's not as bad as 1980, thankfully...
In Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, high temperatures exceeded 100 °F (38 °C) a total of 69 times, including a record 42 consecutive days from June 23 to August 3. Dallas/Fort Worth reached an all-time high when the temperature hit 113 °F (45 °C) on three consecutive days on June 26–28. In all, the Dallas/Fort Worth area saw 29 days in which the previous record high temperature was either broken or tied. Dallas also had 28 days above 105 and five days above 110. Some of the DFW records were eclipsed by the 2011 heat wave, but 1980 still stands out for its extreme heat.

I saw Elizabeth Warren doing a rain dance.
Actually it's only 79 on the beach on the north shore of Boston.

It's so hot that it's hotter than two rats having relations in a drawer full of wool socks.
When I accepted the position of athletic director in April they told me I would have to cut grass on the athletic fields during the summer. It didn't sound so bad in April but today when I cut from 8 am to 5 pm (with an hour and 20 minute lunch break) I was about ready to quit. I put three layers of sun screen on although the third layer was fairly useless since I was caked in dirt and grass.
Oh well I get to head to West Virginia for a week tomorrow.
Also, if you made it this far.....bless your heart because most of this post is pretty pointless.

We had a newspaper reporter here try that last week. It didn't work... Apparently it needs to be >140 degrees

You have grass to cut?

It's so hot that even the dragonflies are belching flames!

It's so hot that even Mendoza would be hitting above the Mendoza line

Its so hot even the sunflowers are seeking shade!
105 today at 5:00 and is our 9th straight day at 102 or greater. Tomorrow we get to enjoy 107. This is the St. Louis area and as Bulldog can attest to, the humidity and the heat can overwhelm you here.

I was totally amazed as well. The football field needed because we have sprinklers keeping it green but the other fields were a little shaggy. Sand was flying everywhere as I was cutting.

Even in the heat, that Chili looks good.
BAseballmom: I remember summer of 1980 very well. I just graduated from college and I umpired every night in June and half of July before going off to a real job. It was the hottest we've ever had up here too. People claimed that popcorn popped in their cupboards...
Coach Butler, you beat me to it, that chili does look good... even today!!!!
Yesterday I was painting a house and I was painting the exterior of a chimney for a gas fireplace... well, she still had her pilot light on and heat was coming off that thing like the devil's pitchfork... it was a cooker i will tell ya.
stay cool folks... in a few months we'll be talking about scooping snow out of the way to get in a little longtoss.

110 degrees here in Phoenix. Nothing unusual. Kinda nice outside with a breeze as long as you have shade.

LOL. Yeah, 107 is the predicted high here in St. Louis today with heat index at 115+..
Sorry to hear how bad it is for the rest of the country.
It's going to be a high of 65 deg where I am here in the Monterey Peninsula (south of San Francisco). And that will rise to a daily average of 70 in September when it get's really warm.
We moved from Houston 10 years ago for exactly this reason.

Woodrow, anytime Chicago is in triple digets, you guys must just melt. For us here in St. Louis, this is normal but you're up by Lake Michigan. In my mind, that is always cool.

What...no cool breeze blowin' through the arch off the Big Muddy?

Wait, is that how the joke is supposed to work?

It is so hot that I don't want to go to an American Legion doubleheader (18 innings) today. I've never not wanted to go to a baseball game...ever. Is something wrong with me (rhetorical question) or have got smart about staying inside in this ridiculous heat?
It's nice weather here in the Cleveland area today as the heat wave appears to have passed. I wished I would have waited until today to mow my brown lawn however. Then again, by doing it yesterday, I am sure I must have lost 5 lbs so maybe it's good to do yard work when the heat index is over 100
Hot weather requires just a little more water, a little more sun lotion, a little more air conditioning. That post-game shower feels extra good, too.
I'd rather sweat everything out in this weather than shovel snow and put hand warmers in my pocket to play a baseball game.
Here in DC, it is the 11th straight 95+ degree day, which is a record. Yesterday's temperature reached 105 degrees, another record for the day (and one degree off the all-time record for the city). I am scheduled to start the front end of a doubleheader tonight beginning at 5 PM, but today's high is only 101, with a heat index of 110.
After spending the summer of 2010 playing in the Carolinas, this is child's play. And after spending four years playing in upstate New York, this is better than snow!

Likely nothing serious fenwaysouth. Probably just your batteries going low.
I'm sure Jane can help you out with those!

My son's team has 16 games in 17 days. Very happy to report that it isn't hot! I really don't remember how we dealt with it in Houston for all those years.
JH, I have a theory that you develop a preference for whatever weather you didn't grow up in.
But back to the topic: It is so hot that I have 14 relatives from Texas headed my way.

Tell them to bring their ski jackets for when they're cold at night.quote:Originally posted by twotex:

When I first lived in southern CA I was shocked to see people wearing ski jackets at night in the winter because it was 50-55. Then I became one of them. When we moved to the Conejo Valley it was 40-45 at night in the winter.I've lived in various parts of North America. The best weather is summmer in Toronto. The best year round weather is southern CA if you live at the beach and not inland. I lived in Redondo Beach for years.

Sorry, "beaach" kinda sounds like "biotch"
Guess all my jokes can't be totally hilarious.

I'm certain they're all totally hilarious papi...it's just that some folks get their laughs, chortles, or guffaws hung up on various structures in the back of their mouth. Sometimes what is hilarious and very deserving of a rip-roaring laugh gets hung up, or as some say "gets uvulaid", and then with passage of time becomes reduced to nothing more than a wry smile that is barely perceptible.
If you've ever noticed someone with a blank look on their face and their jaw is moving rhythmically chances are they are working on digesting a laugh that got hung up or uvulaid...much like a cow chewing her cud.

And this Niki Minaj that you mentioned? Does he/she/it have quite a mouth?

108 degrees last week and eleven inches of rain in the last 48 hours--maybe the climate is messed up.

Messed up? No. It's just soupy.
