It's So Hot!!!

115 degree heat index in eastern VA today. Swimming pools are even too warm to dive into! Like swimming in a hot bath.

Had four days in a row that topped 90*, (highest was 94*) July 4th -8th. Since then our highs have been around the mid-80's. This week the highs are to be upper 70's to low 80's. Low of 51* forecast for Monday night - I am looking forward that. We may not see 90* again this year.

It's been several years since we had a stretch of warm weather like this. My garden doesn't even know it's in Maine :laughing:

It's 82* and a little humid at noon.

There is the rub.

I was born up in Limestone.

I'll take this weather in the south in the summer not to have the snow you get in the winter

It's so hot the squirrels were seen icing down their nuts.

Missed this post. That's actually what I had in mind when I started this thread, seeing how many different "It's do hot" jokes we could come up with.

It's so hot right now that none of the local baptists are burning any books!

Heck, hot enough that my dogs are afraid to lick themselves.

I guess I prefer to put up with a longer winter, but by about late Feb. it can get tiresome By then it's almost spring and the daylight hours and sun intensity take the edge off. Somehow, a 2' snow in March isn't the same as 2' in January.

I've never lived anywhere that has a late summer/fall/early winter that compares to northern New England, that's my favorite time of year in Maine and it's almost here :laughing:

here is an interesting perspective...

We left Myrtle beach today about noon-- 98 degrees.. hit Columbia SC 102 hit Spartanburg--104... got to the bottom of Saluda Grade--- 102 got to the top of Saluda grade-- slight bit o rain--- 78... (elevation change on Saluda grade is about 1000 feet from top to bottom... (1109 at Columbus NC, and 2079 at Saluda, NC)


In a few places we saw the truck temp readout bounce up to 110... now this is thermometer temp..
I am sure the heat index was at least 5 to 10 degrees hotter in most cases......
