Houston hits record high with 104 degrees

Don't get the heat with humidity here in northern coastal CA much, but when I was is FL, what I hated more was that I was too cold inside, and too hot outside. I was only comfortable right after I came in or went out.

Don't think it got *that* hot. Highest temperature recorded in Virginia was

110F on July 15, 1954 at Balcony Falls and even that record is disputed. The highest undisputed temperature recorded in Virginia were 109F on 20 July, 1930 at Woodstock and the same temperature on 10 July, 1936 in Lincoln.

It gets hotter than the hinges of hell here in Virginia, but not quite up to 112F.

well, it felt like it with the humidity and all... Last summer was crazy, with that fire down in N carolina... the smoke, humidity, and heat made it where people could not go outside.

We hit 112 yesterday with 40+% humidity. Summer monsoons - sadly it hasn't started pooring yet, but its kept humidity up - and yesterday the clouds cleared for awhile which led to the 112 degrees despite the high humidity (40% is far higher than it normally is here).

According to your converter that equals 141 degrees F. I spent 3 hours in the early part of the day at the zoo, I thought I was going to die by the end of it.

Lol, I can imagine you were by the end of the day.

Hmmm....that must have been uncomfortable. Weather in Phoenix was 106 and 14% humidity today....

When I was in Phoenix in the summer, I enjoyed the heat. Your body works well in 120 degree heat as long as the humidity is low--the sweat actually cools you off more than 100 degrees and 70% humidity. In Houston, your sweat never evaporates, you just get coating by hot, sticky insulating sweat.

It hasn't rained here since the end of May (when I took my motorcyle trip to Chi-town). We may possibly get some rain today. It is thundering like hell now... and I think the dark clouds have really confused the local environment. I can hear cars honking, dogs barking, rednecks shooting off their guns at the sky. They probably forgot what those drops of water from the sky mean...

nevermind, I misread this, I thought you wrote "I work in crap", to which I have to say is: I hope you was your hands before you post.
