In Maryland, very hot today.  IWednesday)  100F  heat index will be hotter.  So today we'll feel like Phoenix.

@Goodie2shoes   Southeast here and we had a few cooler (high 80's) days and now back into the high 90's with a heat advisory for several days through the weekend.

I'm meeting a friend for lunch and would really rather stay in with this weather.

112 heat index in La Salle Illinois, as we speak.

My CUISINART CONVECTION IS IN THE GARAGE LOL and I baked chicken in it for dinner.

Keeping the house cool.

The all brick house with central A/C is registering at 72 considering the outside temp.

Last year I bought a window unit on sale, end of season, and this morning I put it in a window in my kitchen area. My house is open concept 1960 mid century ranch but I need

Some extra cool air to circulate. Floor fans are great but not enough today. This

Heat wave is suppose to be a week long venture. 

I have 2 beagles, but my 17 year old girl needs it cool or she struggles a lot. 

I've done my best to conserve energy all year but during this wave of inferno heat U don't care

@katie1859   We have ceiling fans in all our rooms that were put in when we built the house, but in this heat, they don't help that much. The A/C runs constantly set at 70 degrees and set to drop to 65 at night. Our electric bill has been higher all summer. I fear storms that may cause power going out more than fearing other damage.

Yes, we’re still in the high nineties in Louisiana during the day.

These temps are very concerning. Ours are still in a range for this time of year, hit as they are but other states are not doing well at all.

I'm in the Southeast.  Been in the high 90's for some time now.  Went food shopping yesterday and when I got into my car, it said 100.

The Northern Hemisphere land temperature also ranked warmest on record for the month, while the Northern Hemisphere Ocean temperature was second warmest for July.Aug 13, 2024

I'm in northern Michigan and today it's 61 degrees and cloudy with scattered rain.  It feels COLD compared to our recent temps in the 80's lol

Southern WV is to hit 90 today, it was 88 yesterday. I love the heat of a WV summer; we rarely have the humidity to make it sweltering hot. We have lots of shade trees and there's usually a slight breeze thru the trees; rarely ever the feeling of baking in the heat.
