Middle Tennessee: (From [weather.com](http://weather.com)) Jun 28 - 105°F Fri Jun 29 - 107° Sat Jun 30 - 106° Sun Jul 1 - 104° It’s miserable. And so dry - I haven’t had rain in weeks. I’m buying a couple tons of hay for the horses tomorrow - the first time I’ve ever had to buy hay in the summer. I don’t have central heat and air, and have one window unit, but at least it’s making life bearable. It figures that I’d have taken this week off on vacation. StG ---

> [@fifty-six](#): > > We could see low 50s this week. Now _that’s_ the kind of weather I like. If it’s too warm to wear a jacket, it’s too warm. We only got up to about 90 today (southern MN) and less humid. It’s supposed to stay this way until next Wednesday when we go back up into the mid 90s, so kinda hot but not as extreme as some places to the south. If it keeps this up, I’m going up north to sit in Lake Superior. ---

107°. I’m in Phoenix and for the rest of the week we’re expected to hit 111°, finally cooling off to a refreshing 109° at the start of next week. ---

On Monday, it got to 79 F (26 C), which is one of the warmest days this month. Today was nicer, at 73 F (23 C). I’m in Santa Barbara. I really dread having to move. ---

I will be doing [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePqIw-DzVyc) with a box fan, so I hope the humidity doesn’t get too high. ---

**Alice** , that’s just what we do when the wildfire smoke descends on the city and we have to shut down the real swamp cooler! It may work better when you can pull air in from outside, but it does okay for us just pushing around the inside air. I have a “cool mist” humidifier that works the same way. I got it to relieve some of the misery that sleeping in 5% humidity causes me, but I soon realized that it actually cools the bedroom down a little, even when I have to leave the windows shut at night. ---

We hit 102 in Columbus yesterday. Forecast is showing mid-high 90s for the next week, but yesterday should be the peak (97 today). ---

High 80’s and low 90’s for the past couple of days and for the next week at least. I live in Cleveland, OH so the lake moderates the weather a bit. It has been glorious! ---

North Texas. We just came off a string of 3-digit days, and the meteorologists are all merrily telling us that the highs will “only” be in the high 90s for the rest of the week. Rat bastards. Then again, they earn their paychecks during stormy season. ---

It’s pretty damn cold right now – glad I keep a sweatjacket at my desk. But that’s because the power that be in my office keep this place an icebox. I understand that it’s in the mid-90’s outside right now, though. ---

It’s not very hot here, and it hasn’t really been hot yet - just mostly rainy and cool. Today’s high is forecast to be 23ºC (73ºF). This isn’t a hot place, though - it rarely hits 30ºC, even in the hottest part of the year. I like that. 🙂 ---

Northern VA (Near Washington DC) It’s 101 F and nearing 100% humidity. While the humidity bodes well for a nice cooling thunderstorm, at the moment folks in the parking lot are fighting over slices of air. ---

Upstate SC checking in - Looks like we peaked at 106 or 107 today around 4:00 pm. No humidity to speak of, but no wind either. Doesn’t look like we’ll break the record today - that was 108. Maybe tomorrow! Should be hotter tomorrow and Sunday, then back to the regular 98-101ish for the rest of the week. Yay summertime! ---

There’s supposed to be a thunderstorm coming through tonight but the high is still forecast at 100 for tomorrow, so I’m guessing that means it will be just as hot and humid with the bonus that the power will go out, killing the A/C. I hate Pepco. ---

Currently 109 with 13% humidity in Phoenix. Winds are at about 11mph and feel eerily similar to what I would imagine a 200 ft hair dryer being aimed directly at your face might feel like. Tomorrow we’re expecting a high of 112. \ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-hot-is-it-where-you-are/626547.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-hot-is-it-where-you-are/626547.md?page=6)
