Going To Be A Hot Day!!!!
« on: July 12, 2009, 08:01:25 AM »
Left for work at 0515 this morning, 91 F. (33 C.) outside .

Got to 114 F. (46 C.) yesterday afternoon .

Forecast high for today 115-117 F. (46-47 C.).

Thank goodness the R65 has 'air conditioning', as it might be a warm ride home this afternoon if it didn't !!!

Just for informational purposes, got to 115 F. (46 C.) at 1710 yesterday !!

But at least it was a 'dry heat" !!!!

Poured water on myself including the mesh Joe Rocket jacket just before I left work, and it brought the 'realized' temperature down a noticeable amount .

Winter ( -15 F, snow, ice) sucks  a lot more than 115 F. , in my low desert dwellers opinion !!!

OMG. My heart goes out to you Justin and others - seriously.

It's been a cool 14C day here but I'd rather have it that way than the other.

There is a limit of how many clothes you can actually take off.

On going weather info, clear SUNNY, 115 F.(46 C.) at 1715, a 'dry heat', relative humidity is 5 % .

As of today, the daytime high temperature is not forecast to be below 110 F.(43 C.) until Monday of next week, when it will 'only' get to 109 F.

Pool temperature is 95 F.(35 C.), not even refreshing, until you get out, and then it feels like you are freezing, due to the evaporational cooling .

Bob, You should take a ride to the top of Mt. Lemon, that'll cool you down.

I visited Tuscon once ...layed around the pool in the morning decided to drive to the top of Mt. Lemon stood on several feet of snow on the same day.
