Houston hits record high with 104 degrees

Max2147 · 06-25-09, 11:18 AM

I was in Paris back in 2003 when that huge heatwave hit. It was above 100 for the entire week I was there.

Now I can here the Texans and Floridians here scoffing, but remember that there is no air conditioning in Paris. In the entire week we spent about 2 hours in an air conditioned place (the Louvre). At night some people resorted to dousing their sheets in water to try to stay cool. It was brutal.

It has been in the 80's here in MD. Usually it is in the upper 90's with mad crazy humidity.

FIREWALL · 06-25-09, 12:05 PM

June gloom here.

Task Force · 06-25-09, 12:14 PM

Lol, 104... around here in june it can get into the 109 degrees, I think it has gotten as high as 111-112 degrees. lol.

thought it usualy starts about july... still in the 90s here...

104 - lol.
109 - lol.

Here today its supposedly going to hit 106, and we're enjoying it. 106 at this time of year is waaaay low for Phoenix, normally we're in the teens by now, its been quite cool for us.

I remember the year we hit 123 degrees. In fact I was in a hot car in the middle of the day without air conditioning on that day. Now that was hot!

Funny you say that. Last night here in Wisconsin a highway was shut down for repairs after a couple of motorcyclists crashed due to the road buckling ... as a result of the 90+ degree heat.

Be very careful out there...

You also don't have the humidity that Houston does. 104 degrees with 40% humidity that we currently have gives you a feels like temperature of 119.

Task Force · 06-25-09, 01:05 PM

yea, the humidity up here can make 112 feel way hotter.

so its 104... in houston... up here that means severe thunderstorms in the after noon.

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.

This will fix you up NEAL.

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.

And here in Salt Lake it's a balmy 90. And our average annual humidity is only 15%.

Of course we also only average about 15 inches of rain per year.

That was the first thing I noticed when we were all in Houston - the humidity. Wet, wet, wet.

Task Force · 06-29-09, 05:43 PM

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