90 degrees and humid here in Nassau County, Long Island.

It's just thundering at the moment, but no rain - yet.

Really weird that the country is under a major heat wave, yet today in the desert in So. CA it is 93 right now at noon and is expected to go to 106 by 5 pm. That, believe it or not, is a low temperature for the desert at this time of the year.  It is also a bit cloudy today, so that is keeping the temperature down as well.  I'm enjoying the brief respite. It won't last long.

It's not doing anything except sweltering  by me yet (NJ), but I'm expecting the storm. My HVAC guy tells me to turn off central air in bad storms. Always such a pleasure when it's 98 degrees out there, and it's close to 80 inside even with it on.

Supposed to be 106° in PHX today.   No "biggie" for us, either.    di

We are south of Charlotte NC.  Supposed to get record temps for the next 4-5 days (100-105) with a heat index of 105-110.

Reporting in from Philadelphia. Heat index 110 degrees. Stay cool, folks!

It was around 90 degrees here in PA after 3 pm.

The storms rolled in and we had lots of thunder and lightning but little rain.

The best thing is the temperature went down and two hours later it feels 

better at 82 degrees.
