This is absurd. The temp here iin NE Phila/Lower Bucks County is currently 104 and very humid. My central A/C is runny constantly and although the thermostat is set at 73, it's up to 77 in here. The a/c just cannot keep up with this heat. Yesterday it got to 100 and tomorrow they say 102. Here's a pic of my thermometer outside, under my awning in the shade at 100. I feel bad for anyone with no a/c.
Remember to keep your pets inside and if you have no a/c get a squirt bottle and mist them from time to time.
So how is everyone else coping with this current heat wave?
Edit... argh! their forcasting:
Very hot with a thunderstorm 105°Lo 82

It is pretty much the same here in Atlanta too. With the humidity, the heat index is off the charts.
I am beating the heat by staying the hell indoors.

It reached up to 110 here, it's just unbelievable. Even our pool water is hot. lol. It's nice getting in, but then it's just so hot after the sun reflects off the water and what not, you get burnt up pretty quick. I mostly try just staying inside with the AC up.
This is easily the hottest summer I've ever had.

As someone from Central Jersey, I feel your pain. It's been up past 110° around here today. It truly is ridiculous. You're right--the AC can't keep up with it--it's been that way for a while now. I can't even go in my pool because the water's so warm that it'd be completely counterproductive.

Yesterday was brutal here, 42°c with a humidex of around 50°. I just went outside to walk to the bank and back which is only about a 10 minute walk and I was soaked once I got home.

In Ontario? That's crazy. Man I wonder if the world is changing weather patterns and we're going into some kind of 'Tropical age'? Bring on the Ice Age right now!  |

I'm off today so I've been staying inside, but it felt terrible when I went outside to get the mail. I think it's near 100° where I'm at.

Where I am on Long Island, from when I woke up at around 10, the lowest it has been was 101 degrees, highest, and currently is 104 degrees. Tomorrow is supposed to be around 100 degrees again.

Its 106° here in St. Louis and the humidity makes it feel 10x worst. This is exactly why I prefer winter!

The weather patterns around here have been pretty crazy lately. Think about the past two years. We've had ridiculously brutal Winters as far as how much snow we've gotten goes, and Summers just as bad, only with the heat instead. |

I've been on vacation this week, but I can't do anything. Its too damn hot! (I live in Northern NJ, by the way).
I tried going to Dorney Park last night, but it was 100 at 6PM, and 99 at 7PM. You only got a hot breeze from the rides. It was awful!
I got called into work this morning (loading UPS trucks at 5:00AM) and by 5:20, I was a soaking mess. I just woke up form a huge power nap and was glad that my migraine was gone.
Luckily, I have a corner bottom floor apartment with a concrete floor. It stays cool & damp and I rarely need to turn the A/C on.
