It’s getting hot boys and girls

Weve been up to 112 already in June. The next 10-15 days are gonna be rough…

FWIW it’s not unheard of to see close to 115 in the CA central valley, even when I was a kid. But we may hit some degree-day records this year.

What about where you live?

Re: It’s getting hot boys and girls

Hit 106 last weekend here at the east end of Simi, Ca. This weekend mid to low 80's. Same as always. Warm in the summer for a few months, June and July seem to be the high point. Remember years I was working in HVAC it was real hot for long periods, good business in those times. Does not seem to be the case now in So Cal.

Re: It’s getting hot boys and girls

We are going from low 80s to upper 90s by end of next week.
Gets down into high 40s low 50s at night so I can keep the house cool all day.
Already have some big fires in the area.
The fireworks idiots should heat things up.
Spent the morning weedeating the BLM surrounding my place.

Great day today in west central MN. Low 70's. Clear skies. Light winds.
Had a great local car show. Typically about 200 cars of all types. Today about 350-400 cars.

Re: It’s getting hot boys and girls

They are saying, temps climbing to 104 for the weekend with 50 degree swings between daily highs and lows.
With all the tourists in for the long weekend, there will be fires.

Re: It’s getting hot boys and girls

Expect 106 here today, up to 113 by Saturday. Bloody ridiculous. 50s & 60s overnight.

No A/C, depending on our swamp cooler to keep the house livable. So far so good.

Better than over the mountain to the city, though. They are facing 119 by the weekend.

Re: It’s getting hot boys and girls

A hunnert here this afternoon with index around 114. AC is doing all it can, ceiling fans going too.

Dang Mike. I feel for ya.

As mentioned with the increasing heat, fires are more prone to break out and those fire fighters have a tough go keeping up with them.

97 here, and I noticed a fire in the hills to the north of me. Not good. Water copter just flew over. I hope it gets knocked down quick.

113 without ac… be careful. Find somewhere you can go if it gets bad.
