What Was The Highest Temperature In Your Area?

[OneEyedDiva]

So far this summer? Heat indices, or real feel as it's referred to count. I'm in northern Jersey and ours heat index was 105 one day last week. I started to go to the post office, which is in walking distance and that changed my mind.

110 'feels like' this week for a few days. It's still hanging on ...

Here's a hot weather fact ... 107 years ago ... Death Valley set a world record for highest air temperature at 134 degrees on July 10, 1913

 

[RadishRose]

Hottest temperature ever recorded: 106 F, Danbury, southwestern Connecticut, 7/15/1995.
Temperatures reach 100° F or higher only rarely. While most of the long-term weather observing sites across the State have recorded temperatures this high, it is only an occasional summer that 100° F or higher occurs generally over Connecticut.

107, July 13, 2020, thought I’d die of heat stroke.

Heat index yesterday was something like 105. It felt like it.

We were at Hoover Dam years ago when the temperature display on the visitor center was showing 114. The lady in there said that it had been 118 a couple of days before. Of course, it's *dry* heat, as they like to tell you.

In Detroit, we used to get a week-long heat spell about every June where the temp would hit 105 daily. People would be dying right and left because so few people had air conditioning, the old folks especially as they wouldn't open their windows and wouldn't run their fans to save on electricity costs. The city would open shelters for them to come and sleep comfortably.

Here, it's run from your air conditioned house to your air conditioned car to the air conditioned store.

Thursday, July 09, 2020. 94° RealFeel® 98°.

It was hot and humid but my apartment always manages to catch a slight breeze.

104 F. today. It's stinkin' hot. Parking lot feels like the surface of the sun. Backyard feels like a sauna. A/C is running constantly. Sigh. Summer in Texas. And no travel north in sight. 2020 just keeps getting better and better.

July 12, 1936..... 108 degrees

 

[Marie5656]

I think we hit 97 or 98 last week. That was pretty hot. Humid too. Our heatwave finally broke, and we got a day filled with welcome rain yesterday.

2018/ 2019 summer in South Australia ... December ~ Feb

Copied from here http://www.bom.gov.au/?ref=logo

46.6 equals about 116 f it was a dreadful summer and even usually efferent AC couldn’t keep up .

• Heatwave events in December and January saw daytime temperatures reach the high-40s and numerous sites had their highest summer temperature on record, including 46.6 °C at the Bureau's official Adelaide city site at West Terrace
• The national highest temperature of the summer, 49.5 °C at Port Augusta, occurred on 24 January
• On 23 and 24 January, South Australia as a whole had its two hottest area-averaged days on record, with maximum temperatures of 45.67 °C and 45.69 °C respectively .

July has been quite hot here, and starting the middle of this coming week, we will start to peak with temps in the upper 90's, or worse, in the forecast. If Accuweather is correct, and they usually are, it will be mid September before we see any lasting relief.

It seems that, as I grow older, I enjoy the Summers less and less.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

Probably in the high 90s but the humidity was the killer. Today wasn't to bad but the rest of the week is not looking good. I guess I'll just stay in and read a book.

 

[Butterfly]

Dunno about the heat index, but last week it was ACTUALLY 105 here.

106 on July 11th, but I'm not complaining. My BFF lives in Palm Desert. It got up to 118 there yesterday AND she had a power blackout from 2:00 am through at least 8:00 pm (when I last checked with her).

I found this graphic a couple days ago and found it pretty interesting:

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the hottest maximum temperature ever recorded in Texas occurred on June 28, 1994 in Monahans, which is a city in Ward County located near Odessa.

The temperature?

120°!

OMG. Hope she has a generator.

 

[Ken N Tx]

Forecast high (red line) and low (blue line) temperatures Wednesday to Tuesday, July 18 to 24
Even if Dallas-Ft. Worth doesn’t get its hottest temperature ever, it will be dangerous to those who are more sensitive to the heat. Those more easily affected by excessive heat, use caution the next several days.

OMG. Hope she has a generator.

No generator. Her power came back on at 9:00 pm. She went out in her car a few times to use the AC, to charge her phone and to get some ice cream!

She couldn't leave her place for long periods though because she has an elderly, crotchety cat who freaks out in the car and in other people's homes. She gave him ice packs to cuddle around.

I remember a day in the 1960s (don't remember the exact year or day) that got to be triple digits. That was the day of the Sunday school picnic so It had to be late June. When we got home, my dad washed the car.
