BigStewMan Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 OK, it's 10:45 p.m. and the temp has cooled to 75 degrees. This past sunday-tuesday I was in Las Vegas, first time I was in 107 degrees and raining! while driving home I stopped for some food in a small town called Baker, California. What is billed as the World's Largest Thermometer was reading 116 degrees! I think I saw the devil. I'm hearing on the news that much of the country is experiencing a heatwave as well. stay cool folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shmoe Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Yup.... forecast calls for mid to high 90's here in West Michigan all through next week! Good time to be out at the lake! http://www.woodtv.com/Global/category.asp?c=2906 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I've travelled to a few of the nearby states and Colorado a couple times and it was a really enjoyable experience. Is there any state that provides a comfortable year round temperature? Something below 80 and above 50 would be my ideal working temperature since a lot of my work involves being outside.

Audible Nectar Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 It's a good thing for us that we're headed for the "north country" (up around Fargo, ND in Detroit Lakes for the 10KLF festival).....mid 90's over the next couple of days, but then moderating to an 80ish degree high by midweek, then holding for the rest of the week. Ideal weather for a music fest if I do say so myself[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I dunno, it's like 95% humidity here this week and it's like walking into warm jello. Not fun. And I've got an outdoor concert to attend tonight. Can you say SWEAT-FEST ?, I thought you could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When going to RPI (Albany NY) it was 85 degrees the first week of september and by the first week of october it was a paltry 45 at nights....

darkside Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I dunno Speedball. Over here in the south we get either no rain for weeks or a lot all at once giving us 80+% humidity and 90+degree weather regularly[ip]. Great climate we've got in GA. Paradise if you ask me!

sunburnwilly Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Mid 90's and sticky here in Charleston SC . Ocean water temp at the beach is holding at 85 . Not quite warm enough to melt the wax off your surfboard , but close . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 It's 93º here, but only 31% RH. Water temperature (around the SF bay area) is a chilly 54º, which is the source of our summer fog (when we get the innevitable on-shore flow). Interesting that the water is colder here than further north or south (caused by "cold water up-welling", which also brings rich nutrients to the surface for all those cool sea creatures to nibble on!).

Timmikid Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Well in the Netherlands we have a heatwave as well and we've had it for weeks now! This is very unusual, even suspicious. Over 95 degrees F!!! The polar caps!!! The warriors in the Tour de France are dying! Crops wasted. Water shortage! I'm loving it! Keep that CO2 coming guys! [] Reminds me of my time in San Diego where I stayed for almost a year. We hiked down Pine Creek. Scorching heat, praying for the sun to go down. I've never felt so hot in my life. The sun went down and we layed ourselves down in our sleeping bags. Two hours later we were praying for the sun to come up. There was ice on our sleeping bags! [] I've never felt so cold before in my life. The sun came up, one hour later we were praying that we would just make it to the meeting point, go home and sleep in the shade. I slept for 17 hours. Sigh, the good old times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid 40's . Yet before the summer is over it will be in the high 80's . Pretty fun , small , glassy surf today . http://www.oceansurfshop.com/surfreport.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
