Yes, it is insane. We are used to 100+ degree temps in Dallas IN JULY. We were at 98 degrees in May and have already surpassed 100 degrees. Much of the country is in this "heat dome".View attachment 225526

I'm sorry you had to come back to this after being in CA. I'm also sorry your hubby has to work in this. Just tell him to stay hydrated!

Our area has already set a couple of new records in the past week, and it looks like this oppressive heat and humidity is going to continue for most of the Summer....well into September.

Boiled here. Running near 100, and my central AC died last month. $6000 they want to replace it, and can't quite do it. Funny, when I thought it was getting weak 2 years ago, it was only $1800. Shoulda.....
Don’t get me wrong, I love AC, and think Carrier should be nominated for sainthood! When I was a kid, however, and dared to complain about the heat in an un-air conditioned house, my mother would simply fix me with one of her withering stares, and say “It’s summer, it’s supposed to be hot!”
Ah yes, the good ole days! They were pretty bad, actually…and hot!

Temp. wise it seems like we went straight into summer from winter with no spring......sure hate to think about what July and Aug. are going to be like.
Looks like it's gonna be pretty darn warm here the next several days.

We hit 92 the day before yesterday. My house has zilch insulation and the back, where the kitchen's located, is mostly glass. Last night, finally, I got a family member over to put up reflective window film and I hope it helps. (I had been asking for weeks.) My temperatures are dropping, but the afternoon sun turns the kitchen into one huge oven! I have two ceiling fans and two window air conditioners that were running non-stop - I can wait to see my electric bill!

I'll agree.......I'd much rather be hot than cold.

OMGoodness Ronni. I hope your husband will be safe out there! We in the east (northern N.J. have also been seeing some high temperatures. A few days ago our heat indices reached 100 to 103. I can't imagine what 110 - 120 feels like! Try to keep cool and stay safe.View attachment 225526

@Liberty I wish I could send ya'll some of our rain. We've been getting lots here in N.J. One day last week, it rained harder than I've seen it in a long time.
We feel like we are in that Dust Bowl now! .... everyday dust from the African Coast blows across the Atlantic into the Gulf of Mexico.
Skies have been hazy because of that dust ...

Yes, the problem is I can't get anyone out here to install them, and I can't lift them. So, box fans.

I have the same problem, but did get family to help. If you can not find help, try your local senior center or even the NextDoor app. If you can keep a low-sided tray of ice in front of them, it really does help. Also, if you feel overheated, relaxing in a tepid bath should help. Please stay safe.
What are your A/C symptoms?? Fan on outside unit not working?? Easy fix by replacing a capacitor. A/c people don't tell you this.
