Feels like 106 in Chicago 8/24

It is 95 degrees but with the humidity and dewpoint it's 106.  OMG!  I am glad I am in today.  I can hardly breathe in this heat.  Hurry up Fall!!! How hot is it in your area?   I know there are areas in Tennessee that are flooding, prayers go out to you in this difficult time.

@Desertdi   Bless you.  I could never live in Phoenix.  I have relatives in Arizona  Tempe and Chandler.  I visited a couple of times but one time I had to leave early because it was so hot.  I am a person that does better in the cold.

We are less than 200 miles north of you @Katcat1 . Had some storms and clouds so it stayed in high 70s today, but still is humid. I looked ahead on the fifteen day forecast - 70's and low humidity are coming. Wish fall lasted from August 15 to December 15!

@Katcat1 110 tomorrow, and 112 predicted for Thursday.....and this has been a relatively "mild" summer.   (I am originally from Chicago.)

The heat index today here is 106. It will probably dip into the 80's tonight. So ready for autumn, and I saw real pumpkins in front of a grocery store today! They will be shriveled into nothing before Halloween.

And I can't visit my son and DIL in Chicago from Nov. to April, lol.  I'm your opposite - I just don't do well in the cold.  On my first visit they were showing me Millenium Park and I couldn't wait to get back inside because the cold air was hurting my sinuses so bad.  It was only November.

At 6:00 p.m. we're "down" to 96 with a 106 heat index. Yikes! I went to the grocery store at 9 this morning and it was fairly tolerable, but the afternoon temps and humidity have been awful! I'm in the St. Louis area. Stay cool everyone!
