Texas Heat

[therealdope]

I was in Vegas and St Gerorge UT last week. Ranged between 103 and 109. Fun times.

 

[SoberAwakening]

Vegas checking in here...112-114 high. My car is showing 121.

Granted I get that parts of Texas are both hot AND humid where I just have to worry about dry heat. When the air blows, it feels like hair dryer directly to the face.

I'd actually take that over it being 93 and 60% humidity or higher. Heck, 30% humidity at 93 sucks big time.

It's a dry heat most of the year except during Monsoon season. You can have 115-120 degrees with high humidity. My sister lives in South Carolina, it's like you're being weighed down with the humidity.

Similar to a “human wind-farm” the massive influx from the migrant border surge provides a slight breeze. Thankful for these gusts, a brief respite during the day.

been absolutely brutal these last few weeks hasn’t rained in months.

My air is starting to crap out.

Going to spend the rest of the summer in NJ. Forget this.

What’s it like for y’all down here in the south?

In before someone says Arizona is hotter.

So... what's that is a real measure of temperature?

Central Texas. Austin

Central Texas is boring as fuck . Only cool city in Texas is Houston

AC is dying out. Should be a delta of 15-20 degrees between inside air and vents. I’m at 3 degrees. FML

Wow... you really cooled the outside temp.

3 temp reading 1 hr apart at the peak of the day, Florida starts out at 109 before Louisiana storms ahead to 116. Shows how extreme the heat is in Texas compared to even Florida, that an area of Texas the size of Florida is hotter than the hottest part of Florida.
Southeast Texas about 113 degrees
South Dakota surprisingly hot at 110 for 2 hours straight

You're looking at Florida in the later afternoon/evening compared to Texas in the early/mid afternoon. You realize the Earth rotates, right? You have to look at different times.

There are 3 photos not sure where you're from but the first one is 3 pm EST. That is the peak of the day and certainly not 'the evening'. The evening is historically viewed as the time period after dinner, around 6-9 in the summer. You sir are incorrect and the photos are timestamped

Where does it say EST? I only see CDT.

Also, where was the cloud cover?

Is it more dry or more humid?

I dont know man. I worked down in the Mission-McAllen are a few years ago. We had a blast down there.

I miss the monsoon seasons of the SW. But definitely not that associated heat. We lived in NE AZ, NW NM and ABQ for years. Thankfully neither the temp or humidity got very bad.

I've been to Phoenix and Tucson several times and while it's hot . . . it definitely seems to be more bearable there than Oklahoma for sure.

 

[Otto!]

Lows in the 50s, highs in the 70s. Just the way I like it.

It all depends on the person I suppose.. NE, AZ is beautiful. You get all the seasons without the extreme heat. I don't care what anyone says, you can't be outside in 115-120 weather because you will cook. I personally wouldn't want to live in OKC but for other reasons. New Mexico is giant dump imo...

But it's dry heat.

Lol

Parts of NE AZ are beautiful. We lived on the Navajo. It has some of the best landscapes surrounded by some of the worst.

I'm not saying I'd be out enjoying work or even doing much work in 115 degree weather . . . that's crazy.

Living in Oklahoma isn't as bad as folks think. It just gets a bad wrap. Parts of NM are fine, but some is just one big brown wasteland.
