Is it brutally hot where you live?

Here in the Pacific Northwest it is unusually sweltering. The temperature is supposed to be 106 in the Portland Metro area on Friday.

Things could be worse. I could be in Dallas perspiring and wondering why the Cowboys took a big risk in signing T.O. Owens!

It's been in the 90's here but the dewpoint and humidity are very high so it makes it really uncomfortable to be doing any work or activities outside.

It's been hot, but I wouldn't say it's been unusually hot. If you've lived in the Upper Midwest for awhile, you are bound to get a hot spell or two each summer. I remember in the summer of 1988 when it was 90+ degrees for the better part of a month--with a handful of those days being over 100 degrees. That was a severe drought.

its 110 everyday here

We're sweating here. Though we're having a nice break. It only got to 95 today. Humidity was still something like 107% though.

[HarveyWallbangers]

We had 4 or 5 consecutive days in the mid 90s, but the forecast for the next 10 days is mostly in the mid 80s. A little hot spell? Sure. Nothing unusual though. People seem to be a lot wimpier nowadays than in the past.

Seeing how long our winters are, I vow never to complain about the heat!

But yes, i was up in northern WI and it hit 100 on Sat. I was out on the boat though, so it was perfect!

It's pushed 100 all week here in M.W.Mo. But today its in the 70's and were getting a much needed rain. See, it's true, take a day off to work on your house and its rains every time. Oh well I even washed both the car and truck yesterday as well..

It's been in the 90s for much of the last week or so in the Twin Cities. Temps have dropped of late. But I love this weather and this heat. All I have to do is thinking about how horrible it is to step outside of the house in negative 10 degree temps and I remember how much I love summer.

Yeah, I know. I really don't belong in the north if I can't take the cold. Heard it over and over...

I bought a hose to water the garden and it rained for 3 weeks straight.

The weather in the Montreal area has been mostly hot and very humid/ sticky.

Thank godness temperatures have been 85-90 F. We are getting thunder storms and heat lightening alot here lately, in the evening and night. thus the high humidity and Greenfield Park is adjacent to the St. Lawrence River.

Mighty thunder and lightening storm here last night. Emergency vehicles on the go, with that Electrical Storm. It's been uncomfortable even with air conditioning.

Soon that will end. Fall comes - way too soon - then the dreaded and long Winter.

The weather forecasters were wrong in their prediction of 106 for western Oregon. It actually got up to 110! Oregon does not have the humidity of the eastern USA but 110 is still very uncomfortable.
