Who else is wilting in this oppressive heat? I'm so delirious that I actually called Bob and asked if he wanted to do something.
 
I'm at work so it's not bad, but the last couple of days were pretty brutal at home. I feel terrible for my dogs, they have to basically wear sweaters is 100 degree heat.

We have been putting ice cubes in their water and freezing a bowl of water solid in the freezer overnight to set out for them.

They even jumped into a cold shower a few days ago, while one of them is usually terrified of baths.
 
Hot as hell here in Houston every year. Bit cooler today with all the rain we are getting but as soon as that passes we will be back in the heat. I'll be in New York sat and looks like the heat wave will be over with by Sunday.
 
My dog was spending all day in our pool. She's had a great time. :laugh2:
 
Heck, it's just a nice leisurely 102 here. Mild day for a July.
 
It was reportedly 108 in Baltimore yesterday. Around 6 o'clock it was still hovering at 100 degrees. I mean you could just taste the heat.

Actually their fur keeps them cool in the summer, warm in the winter. It's that whole insulation thing.
That being said, it's good that you're leaving them plenty of water, and hopefully you don't leave them outside all day like some of the morons down here in Texas.
 
It's not the heat . . . it's the humidity.

I just made that phrase up. Feel free to use it whenever anyone makes a comment on the heat.

Out here we have a dry heat. Hey, people can use that too.


In Tucson we at times will push 120 degrees. Sometimes we even break that. I can deal with this kind of heat over humidity. Humidity is oppressive type of heat. You can't breathe in it. You can never be dry.

I lived in Winston Salem, North Carolina for a while and I had to take cold showers only or I never stopped sweating. In those days the RJR tobacco company made menthol cigarettes on Thursdays and the smell of the menthol in the air added to the humidity was almost like being choked to death.

I gripe about how hot it gets here, but I will never trade it for humidity.
 
I believe Central Park hit 103 yesterday and it was humid as ****.

Today it was cloud cover early which kept it cooler, but has since cleared up. It's only 86 right now.

The saying gets old, but it is so true. There is no comparison between East Coast humidity and the dry heat out West. People here in Texas think it gets humid....they have no idea. :rolleyes:

120 is 120 dry heat or humid but then I have lived in humidity all my life

That is what we deal with here on the gulf coast heat and humidity and as you said it makes a difference. However like anything you learn to deal with it.
 
The worst place I know of that has consistent heat and humidity was Georgia. Just another reason to hate that state.

No no, I live in Florida trust me. It's not the heat, it's the humidity.

****ing sucks down here. It's like being in an oven.
 
Weird that the East Coast is 10+ degrees hotter than here in Texas. T'aint natural!
