106 in the Phoenix area today. We're moving into our summer storm season so we're getting increased humidity along with the heat. It's a good time to stay inside and play guitar. :)

Hey Mike, I've got the same weather you have just a bit south of you (the other GC). Although humid the rain really cools things off and my guitars are in a/c all the time. They never get out.

28/29 C on the east coast of england. Dunno what that is in old money, 82 ish?

Anyway heres todays fail from our goverment. Hospitals have to have a cool off room to accomodate people suffering in our 'equatorial' climate. Surely they have better things to do like covering up their expenses claims, rather than spouting this nonsense.

The other one i heard today was from some woman campaigning to make babies wear sunglasses in hot weather.

Hey there Niki Baltimore has been known to open cool down areas when it gets real hot but they are not open every day like the illegal allien hire locations where illegal's are allowed to gather to be picked up by people to do day jobs. These areas where set up by the Mayor at the time who is now the Govenor :shock: Makes me wonder why immagration has a hard time finding people but it goes along with that the Police have been told they are not allowed to ask if you are a Citizen :shock:

Yesterday it was 100 degrees with 86-ish percent humidity. The heat index reached 110. It is hot and sticky here in my corner of Southeast Texas. Luckily we installed new doors and windows this past year and my house is kept at a cool 72 degrees during the day.

This thread makes me think that there should be a universal measuring system for outside temperatures. :?

F or C ?
