    It's really cooking out over here in WNY. 91F right now with the real feel of 97F!. Excessive Heat Warning until July 2 10pm:
    EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM EDT
    MONDAY...
    ...HEAT ADVISORY HAS EXPIRED...

    * LOCATIONS...Niagara, Orleans, Genesee, Monroe, Wayne, Northern
    Cayuga, Oswego, Livingston, and Ontario counties.

    * TIMING...Through late Monday evening. The highest heat index
    values will be from around noon to 8 PM each day.

    * HEAT INDEX VALUES...As high as 104 to 107.

    * IMPACTS...Consecutive days of dangerous heat and humidity will
    bring an increased risk for heat related illness. The elderly,
    very young, pregnant, and those with heart and respiratory
    conditions that don`t have access to air conditioning are
    especially at risk during long lasting heat waves.

    PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

    An Excessive Heat Warning means that a prolonged period of
    dangerously hot temperatures will occur. The combination of
    hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a
    dangerous situation in which heat illnesses are likely. Drink
    plenty of fluids...stay in an air-conditioned room...stay out
    of the sun...and check up on relatives and neighbors.

    Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside.
    When possible...reschedule strenuous activities to early
    morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat
    exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear light weight and loose
    fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty of water.

    To reduce risk during outdoor work...the occupational safety
    and health administration recommends scheduling frequent
    rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments.
    Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and
    shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency - call 9 1 1.

    Young children and pets should never be left unattended in
    vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true
    during warm or hot weather when car interiors can reach
    lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.

    Hottest up here for a few years now.
    Not optimal but as someone who hates winter with a passion I'm sure not going to be hypocritical about it and complain.
    PS. I just noticed my weather app in my signature is telling heap big lies.

    Yep, same here, yesterday saw the real feel at 110F, today it's 94 with real feel of 106. This is stupid hot! I'm pretty ambitious by nature, but I had to call off any outdoor work at noon. Between rainy weekends, or hot humid ones, it's getting hard to get the Summer projects done. I'm hoping for a long cool Fall, it can start next week as far as I'm concerned. Be safe in the heat!

    Got to about 92 degrees today on my part of long Island. Pool water was cruising at a comfortable 81 degrees.
    Now I'm sitting inside with the AC with a tall glass of lemonade.
    Stay cool everyone.

    It was just too hot to get the other 2 loads of the red oak today that I'm working on. I got a late start this morning and by the time I was gonna head over to start it was already disgustingly hot out.

    Right there with ya Nordic. I spent the weekend at the family's cottage on the water and even that was uncomfortably hot. Water temp was around 70 though which made for perfect swimming temps.

    It's amazing how much more productive I can be in 20 degrees vs. 90 degrees.

    I'm retired. Therefore, I'm enjoying the air conditioning.

    It was 97 here yesterday afternoon. The mrs and I were Felling cutting and moving logs. I quit when the fuel boiled in the chainsaws.
    Quite frankly it doesn't matter where you are from the heat is still opressive.
    It's hotter here than in Georgia right now!!!!:loco: :crazy:

    Feel free to come up north for some -40 camping or snowmobiling:dex:
    Everyone knows northern rednecks are tougher:D

    I would tend to disagree, having spent 2 yrs working on the flight line @Moody AFB in Valdosta, and 18 months as a civilian in Sylvester Ga.

    Don't like the heat and don't work in it if I don't have to.

    But then again, an inch of snow doesn't bring our world to a halt either. ;)
