I know what you mean.  I've been working this afternoon in my garage and driveway building my kitchen cabinets.  My house face west so I get afternoon sun. IT IS HOT...  [eek]

*Tomorrow* is already here in Toronto, Canada. Currently, it's 100°F with the humidity factor making it feel like 120°F. Fortunately, my air conditioner is working fine and I have no need to go out anywhere today.

I may however, decide to torture some pizza delivery person by placing an order.

Been 110 - 115 degree heat index here for about 9 days. We're suppose to get a small break over the weekend and right back in the oven.  [unsure] Work smart.

Over the weekend I thought I bought way more Gatorade than I would need for the week, I was wrong.  I don't know how you guys down south do this all summer long.

In this kind of heat, you should be refreshing with water. Gatorade for all its benefit when playing sports, has sugar and salt in it.

We don't- it's not like that all the time down here.  In fact, it's been hotter up there the past few weeks than it's been down here.  We also don't get the humidity as bad as places like NJ/NY get it- at least not here in Atlanta- and it gets dry and breezy most nights.  I'll take Atlanta summers over the NJ summers I grew up with any day.

Having had to endure several business trips to Atlanta in August, I think I'd rather be in Albuquerque or Santa Fe at the same temperature for the lack of humidity there.  Seems that when it gets that hot and humid, I have a difficult time holding onto the things I need to hold onto, and everything else sticks to me.

Agreed- I lived in Las Vegas for 5 years, and I'll take 115 and 0% humidity out there over what we get here any day.  But it's still not as bad here as what I grew up in.

Here we go on Long Island, 9:20 and Heat at 90, Heat index at 100 , Humidity at 76, DewPoint 78, air quality alerts.
This is really not fun anymore, today is not a day to be working outside in the boatyard on peoples boats for sure.

Oh well

Yuk! I saw  on the news that some portions of Iowa had 82+% dew points!! That is unreal, we had a few days with dew pts in the mid 70's. for me anything over 70 is enough!

Crazy thing is that New Mexico actually gets some humidity this time of year.  We start complaining when the humidity rises above 10 per cent.  This morning its 40 per cent.  Should come down to a reasonable level before the day gets too hot though...

You guys better hope Heaven's air conditioned!  ...if you're headed that way.  [wink]

MacGyver and Goldie are sleeping on air conditioner vents I am sure.

Where I am in Louisville, KY - 74F.  Low humidity.  Bad Internet access.  Yes I am inside a hotel! 

Meanwhile in Palm Springs, California right now it is 93F, heat index 89F, humidity 12%, dew point 34 F.

Be safe!

Neither do I.  It's brutal, all you can do is drink lots of fluids.  I work in a lot of new construction, so I have to rely on redneck air-conditioning.  Get to the jobsite early and open every window amd door in the house.

Stay hydrated.  I neglected to to do this a few months ago, and started to shiver in 90 degree weather.   Spoke woth my doctor and he told me to drink about 120 ounces of fluid within the next couple of hours...then I got a 103 fever.

Stay safe guys.

Thermometer showed 105 in my truck!  But i was very lucky today.I had to go to a remodel job and do some crown molding and shoe molding. Good thing that i have a Kapex with my vac!  Set up inside the house with nice cool AC!!!!
2 days ago,was working in a new construction  house and when i was upstairs doing the bathrooms,couple of time, felt like i was going to pass out.
