103 here in Kansas City. The best thing to do is not to fight it. Stay inside, if you can. Put water out for the animals.

Went through about three days of 117 in California in 1969. My buddy who lives there says it was 117. I still think it was 114. However, it was hot.

We've hovered right around 100 this week. Makes the yard work a bit of a challenge. A couple of times a day I turn on a sprinkler somewhere in the yard for a few minutes so the dog can cool down (she loves the sprinker!)

I'm building a fence this weekend. Back to the oven. . .and maybe I'll join the dog in the sprinkler!

SRS

Our in-the-shade backyard thermometer has hit 110 the past two days. Even with two air conditioners and two swamp coolers, it was 87 in our living room. My daughter, grandson, and I have been spending most of the afternoons and early evenings in our bedroom where the space is controlled and the ac works well. Rog has good ac at work, thank goodness.

I know we live in a so-called desert, the Banana Belt of Colorado, but this is way above average!

I once delivered newspapers in 111ºF. ...it was not pleasant. (Kansas, 1953, I think)

That explains why you all collectively vote fir folks who tell you that global warmin' in justa commie plot an' there ain't no such thing....

Maybe a few trips to places with 117 degrees might break up that one little misconception about the scientists who have been warnin' us of this problem....

The heat in an oven is also dry.

In Juneau, Alaska, our high temperature has been more than half that. We have been topping 65 degrees lately.
