The heat here is unreal, just went outside and couldn't believe how hot it was.  :o I checked the weather channel and the temp is 48*C (118*F) with the humidex ! I don't remember it ever being this hot here....ever ! Keep in mind we sometimes see -60*C temps in the winter here....that's quite a swing !

So guys/gals...how hot is it where you are ?

Way too hot for comfort, Ron, here in Nashville  :flame:!!  My garage is detached, no climate control, it was 113 degrees in there at 6:00 pm last night....too hot to play with the Charger.

I actually drove my car on Sunday for about 20 minutes when it was about 93º.....I was soaked by the time I got back....car stayed under 200º though :thumbs:

Here in SINY it was 101º (without the heat index) a few hours ago....it has since "cooled down" to a more comfortable 99º :rotz:

I waited all last winter to say "I'm sweating my ass off here!" and now I'm enjoying every drippy minute of it. :icon_smile_big:

We're actually getting a break...until yesterday it's been over 100 for about 3 weeks straight. Yesterday & today it rained bucket loads here. Woo-hoo, free lawn watering! ;D



The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

104 yesterday, a balmy 102 today, forecast for 104 tomorrow (and they're usually on the low side).  I'd hate to think what the heat index is with these Midwest humidity levels...

Supposedly some rain on Thursday and temps in the low '90s - it'll feel like sweater weather!

Usta, which is just east of here a ways, tied the South Dakota state record of 120 degrees with no heat index.  That was a few weeks ago.  since then we've had several days of 110-115 degree temps.  On top of that a forest fire got going across the road from me.  It was quite a show to say the least. 
When I was just a very young lad I looked up and told my dad, a bareback rider's what I wanna be.  I want the whole world to know about me.  In the rodeo arena I'll make my stand.  I wanna be a rodeo man.  I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high, chaps and boots reachin' for the sky.  Spurin' wild with my head throwed back, you'll ask 'Who's that,' well that's Bareback Jack.  You'll ask 'Who's that,' well that's Bareback Jack.

Not quite sure, but too darn hot right now with the Midwest humidity.  My main driver...the air is broke again so it is like driving a sweat lodge around.

Was up in the high 90s here in Saratoga NY. 110 w/heat index. I like it, like Charger Fan said you wait all winter long for summer and here it is, I enjoy every short minute of it especially now that its on the down side.

Kinda bummed out now. Went all week with this heat and it broke this afternoon with only a few rumbles of thunder and some sprinkles hear. Was kind of hoping for a little more excitement.

Try Florida if you like afternoon excitement. All summer we get an afternoon electric show followed by a few inches of rain and sometimes even hail. We had nickle size hail here last Thursday.   Get the cars inside!!!!!
