Phoenix is registering over 110 degrees, and that's hot of even them. New York and Boston have multiple days of 90+. And the major rain and lightning display Thursday only increased the humidity of Indy. I knew last year, when we didn't have got above 87, was a fluke.  I still have to mow the lawn tomorrow. It hasn't been touched since I came home from St. Louis. The weather guys are forecasting 96. And I'm afraid I'll hurl when pushing the thing on pretty thick grass (with weeds), even after 6 PM (NOZONE action day).  :( 

Hasn't been too warm down here. Must be just the US.  ::)

It's even been hot in Canada, of all places. And to them, over 80s is a heat wave. :-\\

San Diego has reached triple digits this week for the first time I can remember. Fortunately my office at work is air conditioned enough but otherwise it's been insane how hot it's been here.

Apart from the day of rain (like today), the summer has been too hot for my liking. As I work in a warehouse, the temperatures soar inside.

Too ******* hot for me.  Rain all ready **** it!  >:(

I lived in the phoenix area for a few years and it was the norm for it to be over 110 from late May through August ;)

No wonder Christi Paul wore such skimpy outfits when she was working there. ;) (I don't know if she wore skimpy outfits, but she did work there before she was hired by CNN.)

Just another reason that I love hot weather ;)

One could suggest this is the result of global warming, but apparently that's just a myth.

how come people assume its always cold in canada, we do have a summer,

I don't consider it a heat wave until the humidex factor is pushing the temps into the mid 40s.(celsius)
Most of the summer temps are in the mid to high 30s (celsius) to me those are great beach days.

I don't know about that. I've livced in Phoenix  and it's always been about the same, as has Colorado.

People think the same thing here-and we are south of you. I have to tell people that we don't live above the Artic Circle.

We just started getting some breeze. It has been unusually stifling. It's not even august yet

We have been griping about the heat here, but it has been a typical summer.  Living in a desert is hot.

Try living in Arizona, Dagny ;)

Yeah, it's definitely been hot here in Pennsylvania also.  Today felt like a holiday because it only reached approximately 85 degrees. 

I heard this frightening news report stating that researchers believe that regardless of the phenomenon of global warming, we are entering a new weather phase featuring consistently hotter summers and colder winters, reminiscent of the 40s, 50s, and 60s.  As if global warming wasn't problematic enough.

And you guys have that awful high humidity to deal with :-\\

I know this is slightly off topic, but this years winter over here has been the driest (as well as one of the warmest) in years.  :o

God only knows what summer has in store for us (another drought, 40C+ temperatures...  :-X)

C'mon! Where's the common courtesy of giving us Fahrenheit as well....here's a link: http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm  ;)

Darnit! I usually put it in (so cut me some slack)  ;) ;D 30C = around 95F (So basically I was referring to 95-110F temperatures) 

Happy now? ;)  ;D

Yo!

The Heat Index... At Lambert International (remember this is the heat index) was 122 Degrees F today.

Yes, that's not a typo.

The actual temperature reached 104 degrees. Remember, this is St Louis; Missouri. Not the desert.

True enough, I'd rather be in 120 degree heat with 11% humidity than a place where it's as low as 90 with 90% humidity ;)

EXACTLY!

In Greece you get sudden changes like that. 100 Degrees with 10% humidity and an ocean breeze, the n 100 Degrees with 95% Humidity  :-\\

Like I said before, it's the humidity. Plus we had a couple of strong thunderstorms that helped the lawn.
We should have another one tomorrow, then the temps should drop to 75 degrees Wednesday according to weather.com. 8)


Your grass is actually growing? :o  Or are you just mowing weeds? ;D  Ours is a nasty shade of yellowy-brown and hasn't been mowed since mid June.

Here in New York,It's been pretty hot and humid but so far,hasn't reached 100 but it has been in the upper 80's to the lower 90's with high humidity. :P

Of course, I typed that earlier today....it's been raining off and on since then ;D
It's raining here as well....finally :D

I went to a water park today and the heat index recorded about 118.

The high tomorrow.. 75  ;D

It's supposed to be in the 90s and humid in New York tomorrow... which is about 35 degrees celsius. 30 celsius is around 85 fahrenheit - the human body temperature is 37C (98.6F)

The high tomorrow in New York 96.It will feel like 115 :o

Oh bloody hell.  :o It's 20C (68F) in the middle of winter?!  :o :-X

Very warm for winter.

68 Degrees? You must be joking. ;D

68 Degrees? You must be joking. ;D
68 degrees in summer is cold. But in winter it's very warm.  :-X ;D

I've never sweated this much at this time of year. And I've brought out the summer t-shirt and shorts combo .  :o

I'm convinced Global Warming exists.

It was 97 degrees but with Thunderstorms approaching,temperatures this weekend should be in the low 80's,nice and comfortable. :)

I saw the midwest was getting roasted, so I can see why Indy Gent started this thread.  Pretty d*mn hot in NYC, too.  People have been bellyaching about the heat up here in W.Mass.  It's been hot here, definitely hotter than the last two summers, but nothing to get in a twist over.  The hottest summers I can recall are 1988 and 1995.

Not anymore my friend, we were one degree away from the coldest every July 27th in Missouri History today.

It's been pretty hot and humid.The Summer's already started so we have another 9 weeks till the first day of Fall.

Our summer has just turned into autumn, it is cold!

How cold is it where you live Phil?

How cold is it where you live Phil?
The temperature has been 28°C but has dropped down to 21°C.

Yesterday in parts of Britain was the coldest July day since 1980...

I think the tops was 16C, which is about 7C down on what it should be...

Still remaining unsettled for the first week or so of August, but milder...

Best slice should be the second and third week...

Thank God the cold front with all the rain and thunderstorms came thru my area...it was in the upper 90's with the heat index around 110 due to the humidity..Today was much nicer...cooler. 8)

I'll make sure to bump this thread in 6 months from now.  ::)

Hopefully,It'll stay cool and dry until the next heatwave by August from what I saw on TV.

I have to say - that while the northern hemisphere is having a dry hot summer - down here we are having a dry mild winter.

June was a traditional style winter - loads of rain and really cold temps - days under 15c.  But this month has been sunny days of 21c and only a couple of rainy days. 

We have been on water restrictions for a decade now and I dont see that changing - our dams are all below 23% full and are just not rising.

Or:

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 degrees and divide by 1.8. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8 and add 32 degrees.

Just wait till August in NYC when temperatures will get around 100 and the summer is halfway over. :o

Just wait till August in NYC when temperatures will get around 100 and the summer is halfway over. :o
Using the formula subtract 32 degrees and divide by 1.8. 100° Fahrenheit will be:

100 - 32 = 78

68 ÷ 1.8 = 37.78.

Therefore 100° Fahrenheit will be approximately 38° Celsius.

Or rainy.

No kidding, then we'll all be b!tching that it's too cold ;D ;D ;D
I will always complain about the cold but not about the heat....luckily I live in a low humidity climate. I've always had more trouble getting warm in the winter but for me it's always easy to cool off in the summer :)

Has this winter been warmer than usual or what?  :o

June was a very average winter month, with cold temperatures just above 0C/32F for most days.

July was alot warmer than June with average temperatures hovering around the 15-20C (60-70F) mark... way above the norm for this time of year (more like spring temperatures) and it has been very dry, with well below average rainfall this winter than in previous winters. We are on the verge of a drought in the middle of winter... that's how much rain we've had.  :o

And August is looking to be very much the same as July... only time will tell.

Heres the press release: (parts of it, I cut out the boring stuff)

Climate Summary for July 2005

Temperature: Third warmest July on record
Rainfall: Below average in Canterbury
Sunshine: Well above average in Canterbury
The highest temperature during July 2005 was 22.0°C (70F)

It's either way too hot or way too cold.There's just no in-between anymore. ;D
