Topic: What's You Hottest Temperature this Year?

[AWL]

Just now hit 100°F for the first time this year.

[Farmtalk]

We have hit 100 one time since 1991, and that was 104 in 2007. That day, my family's car broke down on the highway, and we were stuck in the heat for almost 2 hours!!!

[Bunty]

June 7. Minneapolis  101.8F  By the way, that is the hottest day since 2006!

It's surprising Minnesota would beat my part of Oklahoma in getting to a 100.  It may crack 100 here by this weekend.

I just recieved my weather station 8 days ago, so I don't know if we've had hotter, but 96.8 with an heat index of 111* is the hottest I have seen since then.
 Until I get my data logger, and VWS software, is there a way on the Davis Vantage pro2 to see the highs and lows? (Other than the small graph with dots and lines!) I have not found it if there is.

[Farmtalk]

That's a big jump on the heat index....what was your dew point at that time?

70.4

[Farmtalk]

Wow! That's pretty uncomfortable...We stay in the high 60s in the summer time with temps in the low 90s, but that sounds downright steamy!

You're telling me.  Walking/jogging around the lake pictured below for exercise is no longer such a pleasant experience.

I drove I-40 thru the Texas handle and across OK in the summer of '76.

Never again...

[Farmtalk]

I never thought that area was that humid!

[neondesert]

104°F yesterday with a nice comfy dewpoint of 32°

Shooting for a high of 110 today! 

[Farmtalk]

that's  pretty normal for Vegas though, isnt it?

[Pick]

98.5 on May 22. We may beat that today!

[neondesert]

It is.  What is unusual is how late the first official 100 degree day was this year.

12:30 and 105*? Easy money on 110!

There ya go!  I wonder if the casino's have considered setting up a
weather equivalent of a sportsbook! 

[Cienega32]

Had a run up to 99.9 and it dropped to 98.6. Running back up now and... nope - 99.7 and dropping.

Wait... coming back up and... nope! Dropping again. I'll probably hit it in the next 30 or 40 minutes tho'.

7% Humidity is nice! 24 on the Dew!

EDIT: THERE IT IS! 100.0 with 6% humidity and a 21 on the dew!

A bit toasty there Larry ?

A bit toasty there Larry ?

Doesn't look like we will break 110, so not too bad.
Just another day in paradise. 

Now tomorrow with the wind, that gets a little annoying.
But hey, at least I don't have to shovel it!

[Farmtalk]

So whatt's the highest heat index you have ever experienced?

100.9 for the high @4:44. I see you "only" made it to 109.3? Easy money once again lost to a half-point in the final seconds of the game...
