HOT Today

[kelLOGg]

It's supposed to be 98 today so I started early moving logs to the rollway.  Finished at 9am when it was 77°F and 75 per cent humidity-still felt hot and sweaty but I'm sure that's no big deal to you guys further south.

Meanwhile we are still 20 degrees cooler here and wondering what this summer will be like!

We roofed a 36'x40' shed this morning with metal roofing.  At least we did not have a breeze to interfere with us lifting 40' sheets up metal up.  Thankfully, we started early and finished before 10:30.  I was soaked from head to toe.  In a little while, after it warms up a bit, John and I have some lumber to move around, stack and then probably saw a whack of 1x6's.  The news readers said the heat index would be 112° from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. but I really don't know what that means.  It will be warm enough.

Here in Kansas it is only 93 so far today.  Yesterday the high was 101 but the heat index was about 104.  Have been baling oats, alfalfa and some sweet clover .  Trying to get my planter to work, forgot I hired a guy to plant my beans last year, so the old planter is kind of stiff.  Markers still won't come down, but I got the boxes planting.   There are so many volunteer beans from last year, plan to split the rows so the markers aren't so important till I get to the oats ground.

Chamber of commerce day today. I came home about 4 yesterday to load wood to take to the kiln when we got 60+mph wind then the bottom fell out for a short while. The temp dropped to 60 overnight and its 72 with 26% humidity today, I'll take it  8)

[Bruno of NH]

In the mid 50's today and a strong breeze same for tomorrow.

Yeah thank god for that breeze. Lol. I gave up on mowing today.

[KenMac]

Mid 90's here today, but rising to 101 by Wednesday according to forecasters. I haven't done much this week and don't expect next week to be any different.

[Magicman]

Bushhogged today but thankfully we finished by noon.  8)

[Magicman]

100 & 101's for the rest of the week and the first of next week!!!   HOT Yeah!!! 

[bags]

I told Miss K this morn'in that you were gonna be cook'in Lynn when I saw the forecast for down your way. I'd never make it in that southern heat--- its way hotter than our hot up here. I put quite a few 50-60 foot old growth doug-fir on the ground today. It got up to 78* today up by rainbow trail with a bit of breeze this afternoon--- I didn't have to put an extra shirt on though.lol. 

Stay in the shade this week my friend.

[Magicman]

I have 18-20 Pine logs to saw into framing lumber starting tomorrow.  If we can't finish we may saw half and wait until Wed. to saw the rest.  Don't know yet because I have not met the customer nor seen the logs.

[WDH]

104° here tomorrow.  Down here, that is very dangerously hot.  I expect some bad things to happen. 

[customsawyer]

I like when customers get out of their trucks with the ac running and go on about how hot it is. While I'm standing there soaking wet with sweat.

[boonesyard]

I don't know how you guys can function down there, my hat's off to you for being able to work in that heat. I know it gets cold up here, but most of the time I can dress for it. We had 101 here last weekend with a heat index of 107. I walked outside and thought I'd died,,,, and gone the wrong way  !

[Stephen1]

She got a little warm up here today, 30C with the humidity bumping it up to 45. Not sure what to turn the numbers for you boys south of the border, except it was hot, real hot for me, We quite sawing at 11. 

[Resonator]

Not sure how those numbers translate either, but I do know Holden wrecks and boilin' diesels steam in 45°. And the western desert lives and breathes in 45°.

[Wlmedley]

95 here today and high humidity.Thought I would take a ride back on the hill on my four wheeler.That was a mistake.Leg got so hot I thought the hide was coming off it.Think I'll stay in the house till the sun goes down  :laugh:

[RichTired]

45°C × 9/5) + 32 = 113°F

That's HOT! Don't care which side of the border you're from... teeter_totter

Per your comment and many others below: I am "intrigued", if that's the best word choice by all the TV evening news pundits who work inside and tell "US" who work outside what the weather is out there!  :D
Then on another equally somewhat nasty subject called energy prices we have folks on cable news who probably ride around in uber/taxi/black limos and tell us how much we pay for gas and diesel. It's made worse by the news emphasis on east coast/ west coast information that barely applies to fly over land. 
These 50's KY a.m. temp periods slam you in the face when yer lunch is gone. I'm running low on shady jobs ;D
Does the USA military still use "Sweat bulb readings" to determine duty & training temperatures? I'm long removed from such knowledge these days.

[Sixacresand]

It is kind of weird presently in the southeast that in low humidity, even when it is 104 degrees, that sweat evaporates as quick as it forms.  It gives you a false sense of being cool and hydrated properly.  I'm used to changing clothes a couple time a day.  

[barbender]

I've found the same thing when I am out West. Around here I know I'm constantly reminded to rehydrate because I have sweat coming off me in sheets. I can see myself getting into trouble in dry heat.

[sawguy21]

It has been a cool, wet spring, crops are not doing well but at least no fires unlike last year. But it looks like summer is here with 27C today and well into the thirties next week which should help the tree fruits ripen.

[WDH]

It is 10° cooler here today but the humidity is twice as high so 94°with this 60% humidity is worse than the 104° with 25% humidity.  When the air is heavy with humidity and hot at the same time, that is called sultry, sweltery.  That will suck the motivation out of you.  The older I get, the more motivation gets unmotivated with this heat . 

[barbender]

Yep Danny, muggy weather just saps me. I don't even like going outside if it's sticky. I know a lot of you shudder to think of enduring our Minnesota winters, but gosh a Georgia summer is what scares me🥵🥵🥵
