114 degrees-sooo hot!!!!

NativeJax — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 20:16:48 GMT

My sister and went to BJ's to get a few things and the temp when we got back to the car was 114! I am sure that was from the asphalt but it is still reading 102 by the time I got home. This is going to be a long summer! Jacksonville, Fl

@NativeJax Whew! That IS hot. That's even past my comfort zone, and I'm a freeze baby. I'd be on oxygen!

In Phoenix, we are looking for second extreme heat warning in 2 weeks. Starting Friday 115 working up to a possible 120. Are YOU close to water? We are not, we live surrounded by asphalt and rocks and rocksandmore rocks. Maybe a kiddie pool is in our future--------tedEbear

Yikes. We hit a record high Saturday at 93 and that was enough for me.

Yes I am on the river and I have a pool....I could not live where there is no water!!! How do y'all survive that kind of heat? What is the electric bill like, wow!!!!!!

I think Lipstick Diva and I are in the same neighborhood and indeed 93 and a new record was more than hot enough for me.... I can't even imagine 114 or hotter. You all be sure to stay properly hydrated and out of the heat as much as you possibly can. It was hot here yesterday also (Northern Virginia) and I live in a condo where we have communal laundry rooms (no air conditioning). I waited until 10:00 last night to do the laundry.

It was 96 Saturday in Chicago. That's a humid heat, which makes it feel even worse.

Yes. The humidity made it worse.

DH and I were gone all morning and into late afternoon and where we were it was hot and humid but super windy and the sun kept going in and out so it wasn't that bad. At home, it was bright, sunny and no breeze. When we got home and out of the car, it was stifling.

I really can't imagine, especially when it's high humidity. 85 degrees, once in a long while, is tops for me. Years ago I enjoyed warmer weather (when I was much, much younger). But now, not so much. I used to ask 'Why' when my mom's senior friends loved and preferred the cool weather. Now I (finally) know.

I live in AZ. One of the things that helps me get through the summer heat is thinking about how nice the winter will be. Since I used to live in Chicago, I will take this heat over those winters any day.

Phoenix here also and it's gonna be around 120 this weekend and it doesn't cool town at night either. We don't have grass in our yards. Most people have desert landscape (Wouldn't want grass either) because who wants to be out there cutting it in the heat. We are surrounded by cement. At least it's a dry heat, humidity of less than 10 percent. Come on November!

We stay inside just the opposite of what people do in the east. Everything is air conditioned and our electric bill is around $160.00 every month but we are on the budget plan so we pay the same every month. If we weren't our bill would probably top out at $350.00 - $400.00. It's only that high for about three or four months.

Anything over 100 is awful. We had our first day in the 90's on Saturday. Glad it went away. Only problem is it will come back at some point.
