What's the temperature where you're at?

Hot as balls. Been about 98 every day for the last week or so. Something to do with a series of dust clouds that have blown in here from the Sahara desert. Traps heat apparently, and is wreaking havoc with everybody's respiration.
Still, its not too bad as long as its overcast. Sure as shootin', if I see its cloudy and set foot outside to do something on the Jeep, the damn sun will come out EVERY TIME! Got nauseated from it a few days back when I was changing the oil and diff cover on the rear axle - despite most of my body being under the Jeep.

I watched a segment on the news about that dust storm. Silica is really bad for your lungs.
It's been freakin humid the last few days here in El Campo from the recent rain. (As if it ain't always humid)
This is right now.

Its a balmy 77° currently. Supposed to be mid 90s by this afternoon. I thought today would be a good motorcycle day and left the jeep at home
I don't mind hot as long as the humidity stays down. It was humid over the weekend and pushed the heat index closer to 100F with mid to upper 80s. The humidity keeps the sweat from evaporating so you end up like stepping into a sauna to workout.
The last time I was in Phoenix it was 120 and I just set a reminder to drink water, but never felt gross covered in soaked clothes dripping sweat. I don't know how people live in Louisiana or Mississippi.

It's amazing how your body acclimates to it. I didn't really understand what humidity felt like when I lived in eastern Oklahoma, but now when I go back (which I do several times per year for work and visiting family) it's shocking how miserable it feels.
It's strange here. We get every possible weather just for shorter periods throughout the year. -30F for brief periods, 105-110 for brief periods, hot and humid, cold and dry, cool rainy, dry sunny, storms, zero wind. Okay the last is a lie, the wind never stops blowing here. Which is why we had a 4 deep layer of trees as a northern windbreak protecting the farm from constant wind.

Its 89 degrees where im at in Texas with 63% humidty. Says it feels like 99 degrees.
it really is.
I lived 26 out of my 36 years in Oklahoma. It's not Houston humid, but it's humid. I didn't really ever want to be outside if it was 90+.
Then I moved back to Colorado. One day in my first summer here, I was dreading going outside after work because it was 95 out and I still had that Oklahoma 95 in my head, where by the time I got to the car and got the interior cooled off I was gonna have enough swampass to need a shower when I got home. I walked outside, and though it was still pretty unpleasant in the sun, when I walked through some shade under the trees I thought...I could hang up a hammock and take a nap out here. Totally different.
Then I pulled out my phone and looked at the current weather conditions...and the humidity was 5%. Five.
Yep, that humidity is what kills you.
Arizona simply feels like an oven, quite literally. That makes the 115 degree temperatures much more tolerable than one would expect. The kicker is whether or not you're in direct sunlight.
If standing there with the sun beating down on you, then yes, it's still pretty bad. But if you're under the shade of a tree or similar, then it's really not so bad, you just have to remember to drink lots of water.
When we moved in March, we got into this area where not only is it 7,300' in elevation (we were a little below 6k before) but the geography directs weather patterns in such a way that even though we only moved 30 miles we're not even in the same climate classification. The highest temp I've seen here so far is 86, there's actually enough rain to support trees so we have tons of shade, nights are cool enough that hoodies are in play year-round...I'm loving it. And the great thing is, I get a reminder every few weeks to not take it for granted because I go down and work a few days in NW Arkansas/NE Oklahoma and it's still 86 at 10pm.
Colorado is a great place. The only problem of course is how expensive it is!

It’s 51* right now. But last week when we had our pasture cut, it was in the upper 80,s. And baled 3 days later. Its been raining from light to moderate since Saturday night.
Three weeks ago it hailed while I was in my shop (with a tin roof) and was contemplating putting ear plugs in.
Do I miss the heat and humidity of So. Cal., not so much.
I just miss family, friends and really good Mexican & Japanese food.
