105 F here in magical NE Kansas. It's so hot the flying monkeys are just using their wings as fans  :shades:

99F officially with a heat index of 112F ('cause it's fockin' huuuuuuumid).

The Detroit area has been warm, but not really out of the ordinary.  The highest that I've seen in the last few weeks was around 92F, which is nowhere near being a record.  Right now it's 86F here, but with the 76% humidity, it feels like about 98F.

ETA: I looked it up and the average high for July 28th is 83.4F and the record is 100F.

80 and overcast, will definitely rain. 92% humidity so the 'feels like' is 87 according to "myRadar". that will drop when it starts raining.

It's 91F in my AO.

Temps have been hovering around 98F for the past week and are supposed to be getting up to about 100 next week.

Heat index in the mid 90s here in Maine. But that's not unheard of this time of year. I've been feeling a bit guilty lately because my state has avoided most of the extreme heat and Canadian wildfire smoke much of the nation (and in the case of heat, south and Central Europe) has been dealing with.

What is unusual, however, is overnight temperatures. It just doesn't cool down at night like it used to.

That and tornadoes.  We got another one in New Hampshire yesterday.  Tornadoes just aren't supposed to happen in northern New England. I'm pretty sure that's listed in the Book of Genesis as one of the Seven Seals of the Apocalypse.

So, we are not having a heatwave here in Ireland. It's been raining and raining and raining ☔️ 
It was warmer today at 20C but it was only 13C on Tuesday, the weather has been abysmal  :-\

61F where I live. Kinda humid but overall pretty nice.

@wee drop o bush & @Optimist, those temps sound good to me!  I've considered moving up to the northern part of Michigan to get lower temps, but that also adds a lot of lake effect snow.  Temp has topped out today around 88F, but the humidity has dropped to about 60%, which means that the heat index has actually dropped down to 95F from earlier. 

Some rain is in the forecast and the temps are supposed to be a little nicer for the next week (highs in the 70s to very low 80s).

Right now it's 90°F with real feel of 103°F
That's 50 degrees too hot for me

97, feels like 95 according to the weather dorks in their air-conditioned office, not out here in a damn tin box.

Mid 80s for high.

Much wetter and cooler than last year. Not even in a fire restriction yet I don't think.

75 and rainy in MA. 

It's been in the 80s and savagely humid for most of July. 

I'm OK with that after June, which was a total washout. 

wee drop o bush

It's 58F here at 9am with 83% humidity, with a forecasted high of 66F  :-\
I'm not wanting a heatwave, but warm sunny weather would make a nice change from rain ☔️

It's only 85F today.  Looks like the rest of the week will be about the same.  Much better that it was Friday.

Here's something interesting.  :rolleyes1: Just got my electric bill and I used the exact same KW per day this billing cycle as last years billing cycle. In my AO, the AC is the main pull in summer [fall, winter and spring also], so it must have run the same amount this year as last year.

Not hotter in July here in SE FL. We're keeping the status quo against the flow.

My electric bill was $37 higher though, cost of energy increases as seen in real life. This month's electric bill total is almost a record high for me in this house, The record amount  was back when I had my old A/C. But this bill is the highest since I got my new A/C back in 2017. Wait 'til August's comes in, that's our hottest month here.

FYI: My real measure of temps averages in my AO is thru my pool's temp. Its effected by air temp, rain, and clouds. 6 or 7 years ago it got up to 97 degrees for a short time in August. That's my all time high. I think we were in a sort of drought back then also, so less rain less clouds. We're getting our regular amount of rain here this year.  So I don't think I'll be setting a new record this year. We'll see though.

I noticed my July bill this year was exactly one kilowatt hour more than the same bill last year, but was significantly more expensive.  I'm thoroughly annoyed by that, especially the part where our power company is charging customers directly for their improvement projects.  Pay for your own improvement projects!  That's what reinvesting your profits are all about.  Criminy.

This was me doing my yardwork on Saturday and then cutting down some overhanging branches and dragging them out to the road on Sunday.



Had to stop in the middle of tree trimming because the pole chainsaw I was using has a plastic lever that holds the pole extension fast [but not tight]. So the plastic lever broke and I had to do a quick fix, replacing that lever with the thing that holds the hand bar on an old weed wacker [a wingnut. Now it holds tight and won't break]. Hate having to fix tools in the middle of a job. Curses on the designers/engineers that never use these tools and think that parts subject to heat, sunlight, and shearing forces should be made out of cheap plastic.  Eff you knowitalls. :smiley_thefinger:

August is the hottest part of the year here. My pool temp was 89 degrees.
