Looks like most everything east of the Mississippi is included. My return trip home this evening, I hit the display button and it read 95 and it felt like a every bit of that and then some. I was quite pleased to pull into the basement garage to 72 degrees! And that’s with the hvac setting on 85 since no one was home today and we are usually in the basement most of our waking hours anyhow. I’m still expecting a hefty power bill, thanks to Biden and his gang of idiots.

Was out doing yard work from about 6:00 to 11:00 AM.   Soaked with sweat and that's why I stopped when I did.   Predicted to be hotter next week and it's barely summer.

The worst part was standing traffic near Joe May's exit on 75 south  45 minutes crab walking the bike

Thank goodness for my evaporative vest and my bag of ice that I just rested on the back of my neck

We had a similar issue Yesterday on our travels.   And today was suppose to be just as bad.  But, temps never got to the 100+ they were suppose to here in SC and the temps remained in the mid 80's.  Very humid but.....

You wimps. OK not wimps but here in AZ it was 114 three days ago. Only 107 today but next week we’ll be in for it again. It hasn’t rained since early March but might .25” Saturday. Let’s hope.

Arizona summers = Minnesota winters. You can die; you move quickly from one climate controlled place to another; your activities are dictated by the temps.

Seems strange weather here in Southern OR.  We normally have hot spell, 90's for us, the first part of June, then cools off till July.  We didn't get the hot spell.  In fact, we were getting frost advisories for the last three nights.  Today may get up in mid 70's, then crash back to the 30's tonight.  Not complaining, just saying strange.

Keep cool you folks in the east

        Yuz neglected ta mention AGE! I used to run around on the flight deck day and night off Nam in the heat and humidity and THAT seemed normal-then! But with age and declining health-do NOT handle the heat and humidity as well as I'd like to! RIDE SAFE.
