The Heat Is on

[JohnnyTheFox]

Was that the ambient temp or hell?

That's hell aka Oklahoma. Land of never ending wind, crazy weather, worst roads in the nation. But we do have a transplanted basketball team, a downtown area that suspiciously looks like the San Antonio Riverwalk and plenty of food trucks with hip and trendy names{but no overpriced food, I promise}.

Yeah I love the summer nights here. They get to the perfect temperature.

Oh but oh oh, those suuuumer nights

 

[Cowpolk]

Was that the ambient temp or hell?

It was a message from the church

 

[Longboysfan]

Begging your pardon, I am not a baby, I have tender skin.

And I sweat a lot.

 

[Longboysfan]

I like the cold over extreme heat.

 

[CouchCoach]

I am so sweet, part of me is becoming caramel.

The birds won't leave the bird baths. They're sitting around in them like a bunch of drunk ladies in hot tubs taking a break from the Mahjong tournament.

I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both lying down.

They have warnings to check on old people and I wonder if that includes me?

Oh, I know. I was there when OK set the July all time record at 89.something. In So OK, it was 108-111 for almost two weeks. And there was little cool down at night, it was 90 at 11pm.

In most houses, the AC is limited to 20 degrees below the outside temp and AC's were not cycling and not getting the temps below 80-85 during the hottest part of the day. The poor people out in the West and the panhandle were hitting right at 120 mark.

Some said 108 for the high yesterday some have it as 109. Today will be hotter.

 

[Cowpolk]

Check your serpentine belts on your cars this heat is causing some old belts to break got me yesterday

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

110 here today in Oklahoma, they can take this heat and shove it.

Are you ok, Coach?

Been spending the Summer here in Cali from Palm Springs to North of Fresno. Temps consistently hit well above 100 but at least it cools down at night.

I am not sure if it is worse than those Houston Summers just yet. I think I will take 105 with no humidity over 95 and humid as heck. Either way, they are both too hot

I can't wait until I get back my Summers in SoCal

 

[Xelda]

It's just HOT!

 

[Cowpolk]

It's just HOT!

It is too hot only 107 here today though

 

[Melonfeud]

I do not mind the heat so much. But the humidity I can't stand. We just had a 4 day stretch oh humid weather...

I went to the Grand Canyon in August a few years ago. Landed in Phoenix it was 113 degrees ... but it was a dry heat ...

Kinda' like dropping that oven door open to check on that thanksgiving day turkey,HUH?

 

[Melonfeud]

I told the wife if we're getting Arz weather and paying Cali prices it's time to relocate

I hear you! ,,I ran my "gas pack" A.C . unit for all of 3 months out of 8 years of it's installation, after looking at those electric bills

 

[Xelda]

I think 110 tomorrow.

 

[Runwildboys]

Me too.

Looking forward to the first frost here in western NY.

But of course the "baby-talk" will be on the other foot come next January, you'll read on here about folks complaining about 30 degree weather and they've received an inch of snow.

I don't complain about the heat. People I deliver to complain about it, and I say, "Hey, you don't have to shovel humidity."

 

[Runwildboys]

saw a church sign today here in OKC that read 107°

And under that did it advertise that the church was air conditioned? They do that here........Anything to lure people in.

 

[Runwildboys]

We tend to get snow in increments of 6 inches at a time - at least until late February to March when 2-3 feet is not unusual... I love it, but then again, I don't have to work in it
