JimD 3,345 #2 Posted June 28, 2012 It was supposed to be 97 here in NE Ohio today, but it looks like it only made it to 92. That is actually much cooler than many places around the country today. Will be hot for the next few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shuboxlover 478 #14 Posted June 29, 2012 109 in Nebraska yesterday.....cooled off to a NICE 99 today with a heat index of 107 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #15 Posted June 29, 2012 It was so hot that for the first time in my life riding my motorcycle was no fun at all. The air coming off the pavement was so hot it took your breath away. I came home from work and worked in the garden for about an hour and a half and called it quits, I hope it cools off soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #16 Posted June 29, 2012 My truck on the way home said 99, index was 109, I feel for my oldest son he works in a heat treating plant, and temps on a 80 deg day are 110+ I'm sure it was way over that today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wh500special 2,157 #17 Posted June 29, 2012 108 in St. Louis today for the official high. At 10:30pm it's still 97. I hate to sound like a complete moron, but the humidity was low enough today that I didn't think it felt all that bad... Our forecast for the next seven days has us 100+ every day. Wow!

Jim_M 178 #18 Posted June 29, 2012 Steve, I spent a week, in July, in St. Louis a few years ago. I know what you mean about the humidity, it was horrible. It's so dry here we don't even have humidiity anymore. I always wondered what it was like to live in the desert but I thought I would have to travel outside of Indiana to find out, I didn't know it would come to me.

wh500special 2,157 #23 Posted June 29, 2012 I guess a lot of places have extreme weather of one kind or another, but I certainly don't relish this heat. I know it doesn't compare to places like northern MN or New Hampshire, but I can remember back in high school we had a couple day stretch where the low temperature dropped to -16 F. To think we're at 108 F now, a delta of 124 degrees, is quite amazing. I know what you're talking about with the humidity, Jim. I've maintained that St. Louis has the crappiest weather in the world. It's hot and incredibly humid here in the summer most of the time....probably not as bad as New Orleans, but b-a-d. Then in the winter, while it isn't very cold, we oscillate above and below freezing for three months. Which means instead of the snow others are blessed with, or the rain that our friends to the south get, we get ice storm after ice storm. Or snow so wet you can wring it out. Most of the time we get ice, a little bit of snow, then ice again which is a real joy. I was amazed in when I lived in northern Indiana what a pleasure the snow was. 12" was no realy problem. It was so dry you could actually shovel it or use a snow thrower, here it's so darn heavy you can't hardly pick up a snow shovel filled with the stuff and it freezes into a solid chunk covering everything. The division of northern and southern climates here in Lincolnland seems to fall around Denny's place in Springfield. Get way up der by Dino-Steve in Bear country and it's significantly different. I hate summer. Steve 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
