Extreme Heat check in

Feeling the same here in the Milwaukee area of WI.

I am just outside of the Twin Cities
In MN. When I opened the patio door to let the dogs out, the humidity took my breath away….yikes… I don’t remember having humidity like this. It’s awful.

Yeah, it's not nice and gonna get worse for a couple days. I turned the ac back on in the middle of the night/early am. Usually good at night especially with ceiling fan. Say it with me..."it's not the heat, it's the humidity.

Like scappert, I'm in SE Wisconsin too. Thankfully for the kids, no school til September. Most I know of start around the 5th around here. Wisconsin passed a law years ago that school doesn't start until September. Most tend to wait until after Labor Day, I think.

It's absolutely miserable in Alabama this week. 3 digit temps and 86% to 90% humidity.

In DFW it's going to be 104 today and 106-107 the rest of the week. My AC just can't keep up. We're also under a water advisory and can only water every other day. I've been able to keep my backyard looking ok but the front is a lost cause. We do have humidity down here but it's mild compared to other areas.

Stay cool my friends!

Same here in central Wisconsin. 83 degrees at 9 a.m. and expected to climb to 95 or higher. All the females in the office are in skirts today. I just hope the AC keeps up with it!

So so sorry for all the heat and humidity that so many of you are having to endure.  The humidity, IMO, is the worst part as it is so cloying.  I hope everyone is able to find relief in some form.  Take care everyone.


In my area (New England) we are, thankfully, not having to deal with that (it got down into the 40s last night and very low humidity) and we have sunshine and no rain for a 2nd day in a row…feels like a record for this summer.  Sadly possible rain again tomorrow.

I was in Missouri over the weekend and thought I would DIE.. 103 plus the humidity... die die die. Back to Colorado and hot but it's a dry heat.. so no real stickiness. Thank God.

I firmly believe people adapt to their climate. When you live in an area that is cold 6 months of the year, your body gets used to that and then anything over 70 and we are sweating. LOL! I was one of those people who could run outside in January (as long as the paths were shoveled) at 10 degrees easier than I could run in August at 80. In fact, my favorite temperature to run in is around 40 degrees with only a long sleeved tshirt.

We've been under extreme heat warnings beginning in June when we had several days of 100+. The temps have been 100+ for the past 23 days and will continue to be for at least the next 10. I am SO over this summer, as is everyone else. We know that Aug/Sept will be hot as hades every year, but it's unusual for it to start being that hot in June.

88º at 10 am, with a 'feels like' temp of 101º. The humidity is thick. Feels like a warm wet blanket thrown over you when you step outside. High forecast at 99º this afternoon. I know it gets a lot hotter in other parts of the country, but this heat combined with the humidity is pretty deadly here.

We are trying to keep livestock alive. So far we haven't lost any. Cows are good in pastures with plenty of shade and water. Still need to keep a close eye on them, but we are lucky to have the pasture, water, and shade that we do have.

Fat cattle are in barns, which is way better than a dry lot, but still very concerned about them. They have backed way off their feed, which is a big concern. Constantly monitoring them. Have lots of fans going and there is a breeze, but it is very concerning right now. Winds are to increase this afternoon, which is good for them. Water, shade, and ventilation are so important and have to be watched.

I am watching DH! He is out in it all day and I am making sure he is hydrated and cools off once in a while. He tolerates it a lot better than I do, but it still whips him pretty good.

We had a few days of this earlier in the month. We lucked out with no death loss. The two counties to our south lost around 1000 head in one late afternoon. They call it a 'heat dome' .. it gets really hot and humid and the wind just stops. Cattle started dying pretty fast. They had fire departments out trying to cool cattle by watering the ground and blowing a mist, but still lost a lot of head.

I was outside for 5+ hours the other day at an event and I'm pretty sure I was just this side of heat stroke by the time it was over. I was hurting at work the rest of the night, where it was so cold I had to use a space heater. Craziness!

I feel bad for my son who went back to school today in central Iowa. Even with AC it's going to be miserable in the school--it was bad when we were there Monday night for back to school night. The upside is his golf meet yesterday was cancelled. It's supposed to be better for football games on Friday night but I'm still thankful I don't have to go since I don't have a kid playing.

I walked out of work yesterday around 1:30 and thought to myself "this isn't so ba....ugh...nope, it's bad" seriously couldn't finish my thought before I changed my mind!

It’s supposed to be 80 in San Francisco- which is super warm!
