Guys that work outside don't need a weatherman to give them the "heat index". Just temps and humidity.
In winter we don't need "wind chill". Just temps and wind speed.
I hate those pencil pusher terms that just sell airtime. +1 !!! I'm tired of all the hysterical crap they build into the news "reporting. They keep reporting this "Heat Dome" like it was some sort of natural disaster. It's not one whit hotter or more humid than our forebears dealt with without AC in their homes, cars, offices. We're turning into a nation of hothouse flowers that can't stand a day in the real environment and the media just keeps hyping this normal summer weather like it is a natural disaster. I'd have been one grouchy forebearer..... Cold I can dress for. How do you really dress for 105 in the shade, high humidity, and when you are headed for probably close to 60 plus days of that [bleep]... the cool days are 98...... Nothing we own or build today is built to deal with heat without AC...... Houses, cars, locations of houses. Etc... LIke I said I can put some more clothes on or toss some "free" firewood in the stove.....
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

We drove a MH to AK in July 1994. We arrived in North Pole to 90* temps. In Fairbanks, all the locals were in the big stores, soaking up the AC. We spent most of our time down on the Kenai. Wet and cool down there.

Oh yeah the interior can get warm. Our bear camp is in Tok and more than 1 spring it was to dam hot to hunt. Its pretty bad when your in your britches, chopping through ice in the creek to take a dip.
Luckily here in south central, it doesnt get like that.

Today was Wichita Falls's 27th consecutive triple digit day...June 21st was 98...it felt like a cold front. That's why they have the Hotter-n-Hell Hundred there every August...  ... Hung two AC units in the new shop this morning and at 6 pm it was 96 F. Right at livable for this part of the world. Problem is I had to work outside the shop most of the day. Probably 105 or better. After 103 I do not want to know how hot it is...

Heat? What heat? Mid 60's, drizzle, no wind, just another normal foggy summer day in the California you all love to hate.
Enjoy Global Warming while denying it.

Ok, what is a heat index? I've seen UV Index. Usually between 6 and 9. 9 being bad. I'm guessing that means I'm expossed to more UV rays? I really don't know.
So if the temp says 96* does the index being higher mean that's what it's supposed to feel like?

you guys can keep that crap. I'll stay up here and deal with constant cooler temps. Hell, 70 degrees and I'm dying. +1! I'm breaking a sweat just reading this!

yeah here in the northwest, as the jet stream takes a different path per usual and backs you folks in the center part of the country, our temps have been 20 degrees below normal or more it seems...
last several days have felt like early November...
rainy, temps in the morning and evening you need a sweatshirt on..
temps have been running in the low 70s and its usually over 100 degrees and real dry this time of year...

I spent all day outside yesterday at about 95. However, the humidity was about 15 to 20% with a little breeze. It's quite livable. Today will be closer to 90, then in the low 80's the rest of the week. I love the high desert sometimes.

I like reading about everyone else's heat.
It make our 90's and 90% rh feel comfy here in Ohio.
T-storms last night and even at dawn assure the humidity will be higher than ever. Making breathing optional again.
How did we ever survive w/o AC?

Haven't broke much over 80F the last 3 days here. Of course it's rained the last 3 days. The day it stops raining and the sun comes out it's going to be about 1 billion percent humidity for a day or two.

So if the temp says 96* does the index being higher mean that's what it's supposed to feel like? It's a combination with humidity. That's why people say stuff like "It's a dry heat". 100F and 20% humidity feels a lot different than 100F and 80% humidity. Not uncommon around here to sweat just standing still in the shade, or rather it's the humidity condensing on you instead of the other way around.

Lessee, 94 out, 60% humidity for a heat index of 107. But after last winter being extra long and extra cold I'm not about to complain. Not so bad, anybody else take training at Ft. Benning (GA) in the summer?

Luckily here in south central, it doesnt get like that. Didn't even make 60 here in the Interior yesterday. Doesn't look like it will today either. It's pretty much been cool all summer here.
The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.
