Still 10 degrees below normal, week after week here.They say it might get to normal next week. This is two years in a row. Record snowfall staying in the mountains. Our cold is causing the hot in the center of the country, or v-v.
I have a friend who would put a lounge chair in a kiddie pool under a deck umbrella and sit it that sipping beverages and smoking stogies while listening to ball games. There are worse ways to beat the heat.

Yes, low-mid 90's all week. Not sure about the heat index or humidity....I just know I'm not going outside.

It's 92 and humid at 8:30 in the evening here in Kentucky. Nasty hot. Heat advisory all week with heat index between 105 and 110. Makes it hard to enjoy a good cigar for sure.

I am already sick of the term "heat index", it is completely subjective and unscientific. It means no more than saying "damn hot" or "really damn hot". It's like saying the water seems deeper if it is freezing cold as compared to lukewarm. "Feels like" to one person is not the same as to another.

I may be wrong but I believe actuall temp does not take into account humidity. The heat index simply accounts for the other factors and gives you a more realistic temperature. Yes the term is kind of annoying but relevent on days like today.

Example 99 degrees without humidity is much cooler than 99 degrees with 60% humudity yet, the temperature will remain the same.


Found this and it makes sense that it wouldn't be accurate for everybody however it still makes more sense than straight temperature readings. I do see how somebody could argue either side:
Measurements have been taken based on subjective descriptions of how hot subjects feel for a given temperature and humidity, allowing an index to be made which relates one temperature and humidity combination to another at a higher temperature in drier air.
The heat index contains assumptions about the human body mass and height, clothing, amount of physical activity, thickness of blood, sunlight and ultraviolet radiation exposure, and the wind speed. Significant deviations from these will result in heat index values which do not accurately reflect the perceived temperature.

Currently in Goldsboro, NC 7/22/11 @ 2:52 pm it is 99 degrees with a heat index of 112 degrees, dew point is 75 degrees, or as I like to say " Hotter than the hinges of Hell".

Always hot here, but today the rains cooled things off enough. I love the summer storms.

Just turned on the sprinkler for the first time in the front yard. Don't think we've had a drop of rain in over a couple of weeks and my grass doesn't even have a shade of green to it anymore. Of course, it's been nice not having to mow it.

Came home from being in Florida for 2 weeks last August and the entire front yard was burned and had to be reseeded.
