80s? Hell, I'm in Richmond and it was 71 degrees today. I prefer cooler weather, but I can live with 71 and sunny
71 degrees? OMFG. That's like winter time around here!
I hate you too.
is somewhat the same situation with Dallas...there is more humidity here than in Laredo and it makes the "heat index" higher.
The heat index was higher in Laredo today then it was in Dallas. Heat index isn't dependant on humidity. It was more humid in Dallas today, yet the HI was higher here.
It is currently 1 AM and it's 91 degrees in Laredo ("feels like" 102).
It's 83 in Dallas ("feels like" 88).
One other reason it "feels" a lot hotter in Laredo is cuz we rarely get rain. And when it does rain, it almost never lasts more then 1 or 2 hours (tops. Anything over 20 minutes is extremely rare).
I lived up near Dallas for over a year. The weather was great. Even when it hit 100 (rarely) it at least didn't feel like your skin was being cooked if you stayed out in the sun for more then 5 minutes.
A few years ago I crossed the bridge into mexico (when it was still somewhat safe to do so) to drop a friend off at the bus station. On the way back the traffic was backed up on the bridge. The thermometer in my truck read 132 degrees. I had my AC on full blast and it was still hot. That was a crappy *** day.
might just be all the paved surfaces vs. your farms
There are no farms in my area. It would be stupid to put a farm in a place where you don't get much rain.
Guess what? I live in Schertz, TX.
I've been there. Had a friend that lived up there. It's really nice around there (not referring to the temperature). You know a guy named Jim Russell? Played football at Sul Ross?
About your AC, you might want to check the breaker. If it's in the middle, switch it off then back on again.
A friend of mine (graduated with me in Laredo) lived in SA for about 9 years. He hated coming back to Laredo cuz of the heat.
The last 3-5 years have been pretty mild by laredo standards. One year, about 10 years ago or so, it got over 100 here 19 days in a row (might of actually been more then that).
You Dallas boys don't know what you're talking about. WHen I played ball up there there was always someone on the team complaining aobut the heat. My roomates and I (all from Laredo) loved it up there. Only problem was we were always getting sun burned cuz we were actually able to stay out in the sun longer then we would in Laredo. Farm tans all the time.
