On my back porch in north Texas this Tuesday afternoon, the thermometer registered 107 degrees Fahrenheit. We've been drinking a lot of water, taking lots of swims, and sitting under the celing fans wearing light cotton clothing and moving as little as possible. We're accustomed to summer heat, but this is a little nuts even for Texas.
How how is it where you are, and what are you doing to deal with the heat?

it was like 97 or something a couple days ago in iowa. with the head index it was supposedly like 114. the past 3 days have been fucking insane with the humidity. i was watching the news and it showed temps from all over the nation and everywhere was over 90 degrees.

Lol. For some reason, I like to go down to my local park almost everyday a little past noon and knock the soccer ball around. I get a good workout in naturally, but I'm getting used to the heat since I'll have to be out practicing in this shit twice a day very soon. It's still HOT. There's so weird "body high" I get when it's just me out there. Dunnooo.
But yah, other than that, I'm stuck inside, downstairs.

Been about 100 every day here in the Midwest, but supposed to cool down on the weekend. Not sure whether this awful heatwave has anything to do with global warming or not...but it makes me wonder.
Not doing much special to survive, other than keeping the central air and a window unit running constantly, and only going outside if it's absolutely necessary. And drinking lots of fluids. I saw a guy die from heat stroke in basic training in the Army in Alabama, and that isn't gonna happen to me.

while its 80-90-100 degrees around me, San Francisco is a kewl 72, and thats a lil warm. I deal with 72 degree heat by doing bonghits and playing my guitars louder. One suggestion . If possible get rid of that nasty cotton and replace it with hemp. hemp clohting keeps you cooler, dries quicker, and it's clean.

Hey there! Glad to see a fellow sweltering Texan here. We live in Frisco, just north of Plano (which is just north of Dallas, for those who don't know this area).
Man, 109. Why is it that Wichita Falls gets hotter than anyplace else in the world? It just does. And it also has the worst thunderstorms and tornadoes. Stay cool!

good for you Birdgirl!!!:)
Did you know that the chemicals used on cotton, and the polluted runoff from cotton fields, surpass the deadly chemical and devestation from nuclear waste? Cotton requires tons and tons of deadly, river killing, fish killing, water table polluting, chemicals. 1 out of 3 americans will face cancer in their life time. No where in the world will you find that except in old Russia, and China, where regulation is absent. When you wear it(cotton) you put the resin from those chemicals all over your sweet lil self.
I do all my hemp shopping on e-bay, and down in Santa Cruz. Great stuff, cheap prices, enviromentally sane clothing, and my cash supports the hemp farmer, which makes this 50 year old man feel giddy all over.
When i became aware of the cotton industries farming practices i was pissed.
I have refused to buy cotton, unless it's organic cotton, since.
I have a 15 year old grand daughter who is one of a few kids in her school that wear all hemp, yak, organic, clothing.
I am extremely happy that you recieved my message with thought and concern. An opened mind for a different view is so important these days in what seems to be a closed minded consuming ourselves and our surroundings world. Here is a radio station that my friends in Freedom California operate. They play songs(even some of mine) that you wont hear on corportae radio, and they mention things that you just dont hear in most other places.
Independent music is the best. They wont play our music on top 40 radio, so we keep the back 40 to ourselves ;) . We just a buncha ol fart hippies who insist on having things our way.

I envy those of you who are in parts of the world where it's winter right now. I'd give anything for some cool or cold weather.
On the global warming topic, I tend to believe that the upward trend in global temperatures themselves (this being the warmest year on record) is likely the result of global warming, but I really believe this heat wave is just a typical summertime high-pressure system like we frequently have. The area of high pressure just happens to be very big at the moment and covers a lot of the United States.
Everything I've read from the folks at NOAA about the specific hurricanes, storms, flooding, drought, and heat different areas of the U.S. have experienced this year and last makes me believe that we're just experiencing a peak in extreme weather activity, and those peaks have happened for as long as the record-keepers can recall, with the high points about every 20 - 30 years or so. We're at the crest of a peak right now.
From what the NOAA experts have said, it's the overall upward temperature trend and the melting polar ice caps that are indicative of global warming. A lot of folks want to attribute our current crazy weather to global warming, and that makes sense because the weather we're experiencing is what we can see and feel, but apparently it's the more subtle overall upward trend that the climatologists are worried about.

Well the average U.S. temperature is at it's highest ever since they're been recorded and kept track of, dating back to 1890. It's up something like 3 degrees overall across the whole country. I'd say global warming is doing more than we think.

It's been in the low 100's at my house in the South San Francisco Bay area. We have weird weather here though and a short drive can make a big difference in the temp. For example, I only live about 20 miles from where I work but it is typically 10-15 degrees warmer at my house than my office. If I drive 20 miles over the mountain to the beach at Santa Cruz it will be anywhere from 20-40 degrees cooler.

LOL....Remember Carnac the Magnificent? When I was about 10 I found my x-mas gifts before they were wrapped. Well being the lil' smart ass that I was...on Christmas Eve I wrapped a towel around my head and did the impersonation...give a little shake, put the gift to my forehead, and told them what it was before I unwrapped it....LOL....the rents weren't as impressed as I thought they were going to be!!

I hope you get a chance to cool off. Remember, the coldest winter you will ever spend is a summer in san Francisco. I forgot who said that. I think Mark Twain.

it is hot as a m/f here. When I left the house to go to the local pool it was 99. When I got to the pool, instead of the water being nice and cold, it was kind of warm.
About an hour later a lifeguard said it was 105 degrees with a heat index of 119. And to make sure everyone had plenty of fluids and sunscreen.
It really was ridiculously hot.. I stayed in the water the whole time, got a bit of sunburn on my face, and shoulders even though I had on SPF 25 ... Going back tomorrow. Finally supposed to cool off this weekend..:)

Grow lights don't help much when your power is off for three days, like mine just was. I resorted to using flashlights as my backup grow lights. And the temps were brutal without AC, for the plants and for me. I guess I had it easier than they did; I went to the basement and slept on the floor.

Yeah, St. Louis area, and there are still hundreds of thousands of houses without power. Electric company said that storm caused more infrastructure damage than any storm in their history, which goes back a hundred years. I thought I had it bad being without power for going on 3 days, but apparently I'm one of the lucky ones, since only about a quarter of those who lost power have regained it.
At least the temps let up and dropped into the 80s, so fewer people are dying from the heat. Thursday was just brutal though, 102 and no electricity, no hotel rooms available anywhere, and virtually nobody selling ice. Some electrical contractor driving in from Iowa called one of the local radio stations (I listened in the car, while I ran the car AC, heh), and he said he saw a caravan more than 2 miles long of electrical contractors and other help driving toward the area, so hopefully everyone will have power back this coming week.
One kinda sad thing about it is the order in which they are restoring power. It's by zipcode, and it seems as if they're getting the more affluent zipcodes up first, which translates to a form of racism: the more minority/poor neighborhoods will likely be last to get their power restored. While that was nice for me (zipcode of an affluent area, by 50 feet, even though my neighborhood is really more middle class), I don't really know if that's the fairest way to do it. Most profitable for the electric company, yes, I'm sure it is. But not really fair to people overall. Probably should have been done with some kind of lottery system or something.

Us Canadians aren't used to this hot hot weather. :D I got a nice cool basement I chill in all day. There has to be at least a 10deg temp. change from the upstairs compared to downstairs. You can feel it as soon as you walk into the basement.
Yeah, well, I had a sack that was 4 weight 3, and another that was 2 weight 4, but, us Virginia Beachies don't have basements.
I had a basement band, growing up.
