4-day heatwave coming

Ha-ha! Yankees cookin'. I luv it!

Already hotter than cunt here in Philly

Summer. You can have it.

It's going to be hell in NYC until next Monday - shooting up to 100°F on Sat and "cooling" to 97°F on Sun.

Excessive Heat Watch for Metropolitan Chicago, likely to be upgraded to a Warning by tomorrow. After some possible heavy thunderstorms in the morning. the atmosphere will be capped with warm air aloft, suppressing storm and cloud development. And the head will take off. Chicago could hit 100 on Friday, getting close to a record high. And we could definitely break record high lows, for the warmest low temperature on a date. It's possible Friday night might not drop below 80 in the city of Chicago thanks to the urban heat island affect.

At 11AM CDT, in the Chicago area, skies were fair to partly sunny. It's 87 at O'Hare and Midway, only 80 at Lakefront Downtown. The Heat Index is 92 at O'Hare and the Lake Michigan Water Temperature at Ohio Street Beach is 74.

Post your weather conditions across the country as we track HEATWAVE 2019!!

Forecast highs here in the city everyone on DL loves to hate:

Friday 68 Saturday 68 Sunday 68

R6: Only if it was 69 all 3 days.

What city would that be, R6?

Could we just do this next week, this really isn't a good time for me?

R8: San Francisco, Germany, Rose.

I'm in that 100° area. It's been here for 4 days already. Just got my power bill this morning, $318.00. At least we're predicted rain for several days beginning on Friday. I just do all my outside duties early in the morning from daybreak to no later than 9am.

[quote]Excessive Heat Watch for Metropolitan Chicago, likely to be upgraded to a Warning by tomorrow.

Much more pleasant on the other side of Lake Michigan: Grand Haven MI will have a high of 88 today, 88 tomorrow, 82 Sat and 81 Sun. 5-10 degrees cooler at the beach.

This morning I stocked up on veg and fruit for the coming heatpocalypse and thanked dog that utilities are included in my rent.

^^^ Dog says your welcome.

Do Lesbians get extra warm during a heatpocolypse?

How does it smell, r2?

My 1st ever experience with desert heat here in P.S. and I'll take this ANY day over the soupy , muggy heat of the Midwest and East and South(looking at you, especially, K.C.)

Even today I should have powdered the boys.

[quote] My 1st ever experience with desert heat here in P.S.

What / where is "P.S.", R18? Phoenix Scenery?

Palm Springs

Would you like your blackout now- or later?

I read something somewhere that said the way to get the South to stop voting and messing around in politics was to turn off the air conditioning.

Meh, the forecast is going to be mostly in the high 70s middle 80s. It's wonderful weather.

R24 you may have just caused yourself an earthquake with that jinxing statement!

I love Heat Waves (ka-CHING)

I hope my bottom doesn’t overheat!

My weather is 94 today, going up to 100 on Saturday. It’s also “unhealthy air quality for sensitive groups.” That’s me!

[quote]Dog says your welcome.

Oh, dear!

[quote]sensitive groups. That’s me!

We know, hun.

Just get yerself some boys!

R31: Ah, just jump into the pool naked with some tasteful friends.

I am so over this bullshit. I’m Southern and even I am dying.

Come on R33, we're hardy folk.

Just ask yourself, what would Lois do?

It's 95 in NY, but severe thunderstorms on the way, which will cool things down later tonight and tomorrow. Then back to upper 90s for Friday and we may hit 100 on Saturday.

R6: I’m in SF too. While the rest of the country is broiling and in a humidity hell we are caressed by the 65 degree loving arms of Mother Fog as she rolls over Twin Peaks from the Pacific. In July.

[quote]Meh, the forecast is going to be mostly in the high 70s middle 80s. It's wonderful weather.

How nice for Los Angeles. How nice for you. How nice for everybody!

R37: About 8 years ago, I vacationed with friends in SFO in late July. When we left Philly, we were in the middle of a string of 90+ degree days and packed accordingly. When we arrived in SFO, I froze to death and had to buy long pants and a jacket.

"the longest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco "

As stated above, the Watch is now an Excessive Heath Warning for Metro Chicago. A good swathe of the middle of the country is under one. Look at all that fuchsia on the map. Thunderstorms will temper the heat here today, but after tomorrow, it's on.

R42: Oh, dear me. And I wish. I love Heath bars!

Maggie, who's hotter than a cat on a hot tin roof, what say you?

Maggie: Oh Brick, won't you PLEASE, PLEASE fuck me, Brick. PLEASE!

Brick: You fucked my best friend, Skipper, Maggie. I don't care that you fucked him. I'm pissed off that he fucked you! That was MY man!

Maggie: Oh, Brick, I don't care what happened. I just need you to fuck me right here, right now!

Brick: NOPE! **pours another drink**

Big Daddy: Come on over here, Maggie. If Brick won't fuck you, then I'll throw some dick up in ya!

Big Mama: Maggie, I know that you and Brick ain't been fuckin' What'd you do to my baby, bitch?!!

Sister Woman: Who cares if Brick and Maggie ain't fuckin? Why just look at Goober and me, swelled full with my 22nd baby. We're doing enough fuckin for EVERYBODY!

Goober: Big Daddy ain't really my Daddy, but I'm damned set on being his first born heir, so I hope that Brick and Maggie never fuck ever, EVERY AGAIN!

Brick: Maggie, get your sloppy cunt up these steps, gal. I'm fittin' ta fuck you till your titties ring!

Maggie: YES, SIR! Brick, I'ma ride you hard and heavy 'till your dick falls off!

Pussies!

It's hot as 3 feet up a bull's ass.

Now, say this 3 times fast.

"It's hot as a fresh fucked fox fleeing a forest fire".

A quarter till 9pm and it's 96° freakin' degrees!

It feel kinda like twista weatha

Just 45 mins south of San Francisco, we're enjoying high 70s to low 80s, sunny, and no humidity. Upper 50's at night. Since April. Through at least October. It really is great weather. I don't miss the midwest or east coast weather one bit.

[quote]It's 95 in NY, but severe thunderstorms on the way,

They didn't work.

Just typing “Ma” into YouTube pulls up Marylyn Monroe Heat Wave.

Update:

At 10AM Central in Chicago, Thunderstorms are reported with heavy rain. 72 at O'Hare, 73 at Midway, and 70 at the Loop. No Heat Index readings at this hour and there is Fog. These storms will temper our heat today though a late day surge is expected with temperatures getting into the 90s in the late afternoon.

Any other updates from across the country this Thursday?

76 with heavy rain in NY. Back into the 90s tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, with Sunday's high forecast of 97.

With “real feel” of 110° in New York Sunday.

The "heat value index" in our nation's capital could get up to 115 this weekend.

It's been done, Norma Jean.

This Alaskan resident found a way to cool off in their heatwave.

What a hack!

Now I want a moose!

Here in the UK (England) it never gets much above 77f (25c) in summer or drops much below 32f (Oc) in winter. If we have an inch of snow the whole country closes down.

I'd hate your climate.

I'm heading to the Jersey shore tomorrow for a long weekend. Last year, it seemed like every long weekend I took, it rained for at least one day. I would rather have the heat than rain.

Canada is turning into India, FFS. This heat isn't normal.

It's summer, it's supposed to be hot.

Time to open up the fire hydrants!

Get back to me when you have gone through a summer in Dallas.

R64, not this hot

Wasn't it like 111 degrees in Paris last month? Now, THAT'S some serious heat!

We savvy New Yorkers keep cool by sleeping on the fire escape.

R68 I think the heatwave in France and Spain lasted 2 days and they closed schools, offices and factories.

It's a dry heat.

^^So is a blow torch.

Air conditioning hack

Very clever, R73. Unfortunately it won't dehumidify.

[quote]Dog says your welcome.

Actually r15, dog says "What's up with all the veg and fruit asshole?"

body heat is the best heat

The Slip 'n' Slide looks like lawsuits just waiting to happen. The Water Wiggle seems fairly harmless, but also like no fun at all.

[quote]The Slip 'n' Slide looks like lawsuits just waiting to happen.

This product still exists and has for decades.

I’m stunned that today the first thing we think about is lawsuits.

HEATWAVE!

HEATWAVE!

I’m freezing!

"I'm heading to the Jersey shore tomorrow for a long weekend."

So sorry to hear this.

After years of going to the Jersey shore, I'm fucking done. I'd prefer to sit in the comfort of my air conditioned home in a community with its own pool, rather than schlep to the Jersey Shore. The traffic going there, the tolls, the parking situation, the ridiculous beach tags, the cops on the beach, the dirty water and the high prices for anything and everything make for a miserable time.

I believe the Water Wiggle was the more dangerous, r78.

100° yesterday, then a whopper of a storm came through at 7:30pm that brought the temp down to 73°. Now it's 74° and very thick fog. Next week the temps are predicted to not get out of the mid 80s all week. Can't wait! And this is the coastal south where 100°+ every day is quite normal in the summer.

It's currently 86f/30c in New York, and it's already humid. They're predicting a high of 97f/36c today, with recommendations of staying indoors, since the extreme heat might even provoke your death.

My death has been provoked many times and it has yet to resort to violence.

Provincetown is cooler than the rest of New England, it would appear. 85 at 11 am here and it's supposed to top out at 86 but the humidity makes the real feel temp 97. More of the same tomorrow. Even though the only a/c is in the bedroom, it seems bearable because of the fans and the beach. And the thought of a drink drink or three this afternoon. Right now it's best to stick to water.

Boston's about ten degrees warmer for both actual and apparent temps That's too hot.

Ann Miller does the weather report at 500 taps a minute

News is really playing this up big time though it is the same damn heat wave we get every summer.

I'm out east at my parents, and even at 7AM it was hot AF when I was walking the dog. Fortunately dog is smart enough to know to stick to the shaded route.

A little Weill, a little Hope Emerson......

[quote]News is really playing this up big time though it is the same damn heat wave we get every summer.

I JUST said this same thing to my mother. Called her to check in and said the same exact thing.

They keep calling it “historic,” and then saying he haven’t had temps like this since 19xx. Well, if we’ve had them, it’s not historic!

R92: It's historic because it happey so rarely. Historic does not mean it's never happened before.

R88: No, it's not the same every summer. Chicago didn't drop below 80 degrees for all of July 19th. That's the dangerous part, when the body can't cool off at night, those who don't have air conditioning. Conditions like that have not been seen here since 2012.

Is that college-sponsored website you linked to your jam Weather Fairy?

And I think many of us are talking about the Northeast where the temperatures have been in the high 90s, which seems to happen every summer.

On to the midday update: Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect until 7PM tonight. There is a risk of Severe Thunderstorms this afternoon and evening as the cold front FINALLY pushes into the Chicago area. There is currently a major line of storms with damaging winds in Iowan that will likely hit Northern Illinois this afternoon and evening. There are currently Tornado Warnings in Wisconsin as the cool dry air clashes with the hot humid air.

At Noon, skies are fair in Chicago. It's 88 Downtown, 90 at O'hare and 91 at Midway. The Heat Index is 108 at Midway, 103 at O'Hare and 96 at Downtown. High of 95 today with Dewpoints near 80! That is the temperature at which the air is completely saturated and Humidity is 100%. Those are levels you see in the Persian Gulf.

As an aside, you should use Dewpoint as the measure of moisture, not Relative Humidity. 63% Humidity at 93 is not the same at 53 degrees.

[quote]Is that college-sponsored website you linked to your jam

If you like jazz, try their radio station, WDCB. Cool tunes for hot weather.

R94: No, just that it has a clickable map to get text products from the National Weather Service. The Weather Service site itself is a bit more involved.

R93 I know it's not the same every summer. I've lived through almost 70 of 'em and no two were alike.

What are you saying? Or maybe, who are you trying to say it to?

OP, are you Larry Mowry?

R98: I meant to say it to R90. My apologies.

R99: I don't think he pings at all, Arlene.

You realize this is South Texas weather ALL summer? It’s so weird this is considered dangerous in the Northeast but it’s an everyday occurrence in South Texas.

R101: Because people are used to it living in that climatic zone. We aren't being further north. Same thing when you Texans get an inche of snow and go insane over it.

And there are always those assholes out there who are jogging.

Fuckwads.

We reached our high of 95 at 10:28 AM at RDU today. THANK GOODNESS for that storm! Elsewhere it was scorching hot today. #ncwx

As of 5 PM, Norfolk has reached 100 degrees for the first time in 2 years! (Last 100 degree day: July 14, 2017). Other noteworthy high temps across the region: Richmond 98, Salisbury, MD 96, Elizabeth City, NC 96. #vawx #ncwx #mdwx #heat

It was 114 in Phoenix on Tuesday. I am not sure what you titty babies are crying about.

I could use a nice summer thunderstorm right about now.

All around, people looking half dead.

Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head.

got a sunburn on my forehead.

You didn't have that problem, R62, during your previous rainy weekends at the Jersey Shore.

R107: Dewpoints near 80, that's what. Phoenix's dewpoints usually don't get above 55 except during brief monsoons.

The heat wave is over in Chicago. We had storms, very gusty winds and now winds are off the lake and the temperature has dropped into the 70s. Unfortunately, it's still humid and we'll have storms overnight. We don't dry out until tomorrow afternoon but then we'll fall into the 60s for lows and only 70s for highs Monday. It'll feel so nice.

For the international audience, the high in Chicago was 35C and now it's 25C, and Monday should only hit about 23C.

You're my dog, WeatherFairy. Do you have a PWS on the Weather Underground?

I do not. But I have the widget on my browser lol.

^^That was for R114. Time for more wine.

[quote] R60: Now I want a moose

R60, I’m yours! 💕 💗 💕

I’m in Provincetown, it is likely cooler here than anywhere else east of the Mississippi but fuck is it hot as balls here.

Glorious week ahead here... all sunshine, high seventies and low eighties. But yesterday was a nightmare.

Provincetown?

It’s going to be in the upper 90’s here in DC.

100 in DC

It's beautiful in Chicago today, low 80s, low humidity, cool north breeze :)

Boston 90F now, 98F at 3 pm forecast actual temps. "Real Feel" temps in F: 100 and 105, respectively.

Provincetown's a bit cooler now and supposed to be 10 degrees cooler this afternoon.

IOW, it's hot.

Does this mean we’ll get wicked strong hurricanes in the northeast ?

No R125. It means it's wikkid hot.

NBC News:

Mitch Petrus, a 32-year-old former New York Giants offensive lineman and Super Bowl winner died of heat stroke after working outside in triple-digit temperatures in his native Arkansas, officials said Friday.

The high temperature in Little Rock on Thursday was 92 degrees, with a heat index of 103 degrees," said the county coroner. "He was working at his family shop, outside ... and suffered heat stroke," Hobbs said. "He was drinking water but not enough electrolytes."

the heat wave broke yesterday. For about a week the highs were in the 90 s to low hundreds in the midwest, The truly scary part was the nights didnt cool down much. It would be 85 at 5 in the morning. This is classic global warming. this is our future. I didnt hear one weather or news channel ever allude to any connection nor did anyone I know even mention the possiblity.

R120 What’s happened to our beloved DL??

OMG! Hot weather in July? How inconceivable!

Hot weather is one thing, but fifteen degrees above normal is another

Relief today, ahhhhhhh.

R128, heat in July is not unprecedented. Very few record highs were set yesterday despite the heat. It was hotter in the 1930s. The attempt to blame everything on global warming is ridiculous and undermines the credibility of the theory among the populace. Heat in July is normal and it’s been hotter before

Last night, the weatherchick on Ch. 4 said this is only NYC's 9th hottest July on record — #1 was in 1999.

I dunno. I've been here since 1999 and this feels a hell of a lot worse than most summers.

The heat index yesterday got up to 107. I don't recall a whole lot of days worse than that.

The sky is black in NY (Westchester County). Storm's a-comin' right in time for rush hour.

r133 what's unprecedented is the giant heat band that made 1/2 of the US roasting hot for several days. And the fact that it will become standard occurrence. THAT is what global warming is doing. More extreme weather events, hot and cold.

Not "Global Warming."

CLIMATE CHANGE.

Please use the correct term.

They're describing related things, r137. And it IS global warming that is causing climate change.

That’s not unprecedented either. On this date in 1934, 33 states were over 100 degrees, and South Dakota, Missouri, Arizona, Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Colorado and Ohio were over 110 degrees.

That’s not unprecedented either. On this date in 1934, 33 states were over 100 degrees, and South Dakota, Missouri, Arizona, Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Colorado and Ohio were over 110 degrees.

r140 the point is that these extreme events (I notice you had to go back 90 years) will be happening more and more frequently due to global warming.

I've gone through 7 caftans in the last 3 days.

You? I had on boxers this morning.

They turned into a G-string.

Paris’ all-time high temperature record may fall this week as another sweltering heat wave roasts Europe

New England has a pleasant break today. 67° f and gentle rain now. It was a really rough weekend inland.

I grew up on the shore. Not the nice shore, we had factories and nuclear reactors nearby. But we had less snow and less heat. Lots of fog, though.

r145, my coworker is vacationing on Cape Cod. She said there were tornado warnings last night, lightning strikes to multiple houses and trees and power is still out today. But at least it cooled off. That would be a miserable vacation if it was still 95 and no A/C.

r146 presumably you like your coworker?

r147, I do like her, but am a bit annoyed because she didn't finish her bit on a project before she left on vacation but swore she'd take her laptop and "work early before the kids get up" but now she doesn't have power and the project is going to be late. I don't understand why people insist they can get work done on vacation. Either get it done or get someone to cover it before you go, because now she is inconveniencing everyone.

R148, a power outage is pretty rare in the northeast these days. Cut her some slack.

Is New Jersey downing?

Power is out in Cape Cod? Don't all the rich people have a generator?

What is downing, r150?

Tornado in South Yarmouth today.

[quote]What is downing, R150?

My AC is on the fritz. Around noon the temperature starts climbing and ends up at around 85 degrees inside. Once the sun does down it starts to go back down. They installed a new part the other day and the ac guy came out yesterday. Apparently something in the new part is bad so they have to order the part. In the mean time the ac is constantly running trying to cool the place down.

Oh, really?

It was like 80-something here in Norway today. I nearly melted. Way too fucking hot. It's only getting hotter towards the end of the week, with temps in the 90s range ugh.

When I mention getting an air conditioner to people in the UK or elsewhere they always say "but next week it will be rainy and foggy!"

Well, yeah, but you wouldn't have to suffer until then.

R157, I condole you.

I live in Boston and recall only one big blackout in 2003, but nothing but a couple midnight maintenance outages since then. I bet they’re afraid of riots.
