88 an muggy. We get a quick shower to get everything wet, then the sun comes out an steams everything up.
As we say here in Ohio, if you don't like the weather, just wait a day it'll change.

I've lived around the US while in the navy an Norfolk/Va beach was about as bad as any place in the summer. I visited Az while stationed in San Diego an liked the dry heat but it was only 97 that day.

Only 90 and 60% humidity here north of the ATL. Took advantage of the “low” humidity for this time of year and got out and cut the grass.

It’s about 89-90 here but very humid, so it might as well be 98-100. I’m building a rooftop deck on a home and there is no shade to escape from the heat.

I’d be happier mountain biking in 110° F in the Estrella Mountains in PHX. This wet heat just sucks the spirit right out of you. Dave, I need a place in Tempe (more bars than Goodyear), got any leads? ???

91* in Pittsburgh. I'm fine with it, I'll take heat and humidity over winter any time.

I really don't know the Tempe area to well. I know Tempe has a lot of bars and restaurants there because it's a college town but you should see how much the west valley has exploded since you were last here. It's still nothing like Tempe but you won't recognize the area especially Buckeye. The whole main drag on Watson Rd south of the I-10 is now loaded with businesses. You really need to come back down here, you'd make a killing with work too! You can basically name your price right now there's so much building/remodeling going on. It's really not that hot here! ?

75 degrees, 55% humidity and not a cloud in the sky. This time of year we get cold ocean air pulled in off the Pacific as the Central Valley heats up. We call that “having the air conditioning on.” It’s usually our stable summer pattern. When it stops that’s when we get the 100+ days.

Yep, I love the dry desert heat. Make a killing with work? Man, quit trying to kill me - I’m trying to retire!

I had a look at the satellite images for the west valley - wow, lots of new development. They’ll be clear to the nuclear power plant in no time. When I do come back, I’m gonna sit back, eat lots of good Mexican food, and drink my share of Tequila and local craft beer…and then I’m going to take it easy. The best Mexican food is not in Mexico, it’s in AZ, but then again, it used to be Mexico, so it makes sense.

^ What Joel said, I'm roughly 30 miles east of Atlanta.

I'm sick of it and looking forward to fall already. I got sun poisoning around 4 weeks ago and I still haven't shaken it completely.
I hear you Scott - it’s a wicked UV exposure with heat stroke on top of it all. It’s like when Spock went into the reactor chamber to save the Enterprise. I hope you’re feeling better soon.
