Could be worse. It was 96F (high peak) and 50% humidity here Thursday afternoon, with a "feels like" temp of 110F. On the local tv news @ 1800 they had video of a couple local people @ the hospital receiving fluids via IV for dehydration. I mowed my yard yesterday @ 1400 and it was 92F. But thankfully we have no wildfires. And another wild fire just miles from here sprung up shortly after I posted that pic yesterday. The Shovel Creek Fire has already consumed 200 + acres and growing rapidly. We cannot have heat without fire up here. Good thing there's lots of acreage in Alaska. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yard was still a bit soggy to put the Steiner on it, so the wife said that if I gassed up the cub cadet, she would get it done, reluctantly, I said OK. LOL Just cant beat the last 2 days, but we both know it will be short lived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 June gloom continues. A switch will be turned on July 1st if history is any indication and we will have sunshine and high temps and not a cloud in the sky for the next 4 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda wish I had a switch BUT not putting in a system just to cool down for 2 months even though I want to. Screw HVAC, I'm putting my $$$ in a system I can enjoy EVERY day! IF you know what I mean! hahaha BIGGER fan w/a remote... https://tenor.com/view/crazy-fan-gif-9358566 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted June 27, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 27, 2019 87.6 degrees and 66% humidity right now. On 6/21/2019 at 7:10 PM, ThomasD. said: Multiple wild fires within 150 miles so that is smoke in the distance. Mt. Denali would be visible past the airport runway to the right if the smoke wasn't obscuring it. I was thinking it might have been the Sahara dust causing part of that, but after looking it never made it North or West that much. It had been hazy here and at night very hazy as far as trying to see the stars or much of anything. The is dust in the air from the Sahara desert making it's way to the US, I know hard to beleave. https://www.wlky.com/article/belskis-blog-sahara-dust-is-producing-some-nice-sunrises-and-sunsets/28182391 http://www.startribune.com/dust-from-africa-to-set-off-spectacular-gulf-coast-sunsets-while-quelling-atlantic-hurricanes/511759272/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice numbers I looked at that model when I was looking, ended up buying something very similar, mostly got burned out shopping and picked one with good reviews. So many had features I didn't want or need. But I have to say I love the idea of having something accurate that at the same time does inside and outside. The ones I had in the past which just hung on the wall outside and were so far off a good guess was just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I have probably had this one for about 10 years or more. It syncs to an atomic clock, at some unknown location. The outside sensor no longer works with it, so it only reads where it sits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sell extra sensors, many can have 3-4 for different locations or room, it would just have to link up with your unit. I really only needed the one for the porch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I've heard the Weather Channel say the official temp is taken in the shade and 5 feet above the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
