I think the hottest temperature I've ever experienced was 115 degrees. It was a "dry heat," but still hot. Somewhere in California... anyway, the Truckee River was nearby, and I jumped in. The Truckee River was TWELVE DEGREES. After my friends got my heart started again I felt vewy wefreshed. For about three minutes.

We get up over 100 here frequently, but it's miserable. One summer, a few years back, we had 16 out of 30 days over 100, and 10 of those 100+ days were over 110. The hottest was 112. If that was desert heat, it wouldn't be so bad, but it's not desert here, and we have enough thunderstorms that the humidity hardly ever goes low enough for me. I LIKE THE DESERT. If we didn't have grazing animals, that's where we'd be. Lots less bugs, too.

The hottest I can remember ever experiencing was about 105 I think. That was when I lived in Oklahoma, but that wasnt a dry heat....oh hell no, far from it, it was probably 110 percent humidity

The hottest day so far out here was last year, June 29, 122 degrees
It's not something ya wanna be out in if ya can help it

I really and truly hope you have a good time, you deserve it

Home...survived...my dear sweet SIL has decided she hates people, so that was a new twist. Kids were cute, lunch was short before they had to get back n the road to beat rush hour ( which starts about 3:45) here, they'll be slowed down, and we did our errands and are home in the cool dark again!

I thought I'd update you, because I KNOW you want to know, Helen got her brownie vapes last night. She came BACK in after the other girls left, and we were still there, so I shared some with her while I was giving her neck scritches with my other hand.

~Lannie

Lol....she's back to her old self...not like her to turn down brownies!

 

[Lannie]

I see you survived.

 

[redrebel821]

Yes...my duty is done....now I can go back to real life.....lmaoooo

I've been in 125+ degrees at 100+% humidity....... It's quite rough

So I figured out an awesome way to build and wick my kraken....
Single horizontal coil, rolled steel mesh wicks in the tank, with about 1/8" of the cotton or rayon rolled inside the mesh. Mesh reaches from thread bottom of the tank to the edge of the build deck, then rayon to coil

Oh, UGH! That would KILL me.

That's about where we're at right now, too. I think our humidity is a tad less, but it's down to 96 now. I was just outside, and IN THE SHADE it's not too bad, but there's a breeze now. Out in full sun, it's just ugly hot.

I haven't been on ECF long enough for you to have experienced my full range of complaining, but you guys just wait a few months and I'll be on here grousing about how it's so many degrees below zero and there's a 50 mph wind and sideways snow with drifts up over the roof... I'm never happy. Out here in the Frying Pan, it's either too hot or too cold. We never seem to have any "spring" or "autumn" except on very rare occasions. When we do, it's very nice. I remember a couple years after we moved here, we had an actual Indian Summer. It cooled off to mid 60s to 70-ish during the days, and down to freezing at night, but sunny and dry and mild... it seemed to go on forever, and I was SO grateful! I don't think we even had our first snow that year until sometime in December. I'd like another one of those.

All this weather talk had me thinking... I do not recall Florida ever hitting 100 or more degrees.
So I looked it up.
it got up to 109 in June 1931 and that was in the panhandle not South Florida.

The hottest I ever recall it is the low 90's but that is not including the obcene humidity we get which usually puts the heat index above 100.

(I am not really sure what heat index means, maybe I should look that up too!)

ETA~ I looked it up ... it simply means what the temperature feels like due to humidity.

I love winters here...as soon as it goes below 60, they drag out winter parkas and gloves like its cold or something....lol

It's so much easier...we did keep our ice scrapers for the windshields...does get a little frost once in a while... But no shoveling!!
