Very unusual. I've been here for forty years. High desert, 4600 ft.
About ten degrees over the norm.
Hurry monsoon.....
Sometimes the heat seems to draw the rain.

(25,816 posts)This kind of heat is abnormal. I leave a leaky hose out for the critters.
I have javelina nightly, some deer, many rabbits--all need water.
West?
Europe?

Still, 100 with humidity <10% is easier to take than 90 with high humidity. I usually make do with just a fan, drinking 3 liters of fluid a day when it's this hot.

(16,999 posts)100 degrees here and people hide inside. The heat index will hit 115 and it's just crippling.

(844 posts)Or a least in my now heatblasted memory. Already touched 100 two weeks ago. 95 today and humid so that it's pretty well awful. Usually it takes till late July to be this hot here but this year it reached 100+ temps by May. It looks like steady mid to high 90's for me. Ten day forecast shows the coolest day is listed at 88 w/ a chance of rain.
