    Houston as well here. I have to go out early in the morning or after I get home at night. And I still take a bottle of water with me and down a Gatorade when I get home. This is the first summer I've been seeing through clothes consistently. :s

    I look at the temp app. It says 91 and I think... not so bad! Until.... Heat Index = 105-109 :'(

    Southern CA desert here. Only 110F degrees today with some humidity but not as bad as most of you guys. Considering that we had days between the middle of June and July with temperatures between 114F and 122F, today is not that bad. The weather men promised that next week we are going to have a cooling trend with a low of 102F and a high of 105F. B)

    I haven't done any outside walking since May. Good thing that I have two fitness center in the community.

    We've had a shockingly cool summer in central SC. No days in the 100s ... YET. But summer is more than half over. A month or so from now, like Punxsutawney Phil, we will poke our heads out of our air-conditioned burrows and again sleep with the windows open.

    When I moved here, a local with a thick drawl told me, "For nine months of the year it's lovely and then we have three months of HELL." I guess that beats what a local told me when I moved to Montana, "It can snow any month of the year here."

    It's why I'm excited to be going up to Colorado for two weeks in October. It's going to be nice to run in sleeves and dark colors and not be dying from the heat.

    Kudos to you if you can run and exercise at such a high altitude. It takes me more than two weeks to get use to it; and when I do, it's time to came back home.

    I'm in Abu Dhabi right now. It's over 60 Deg C over here, or 140 Deg F. Not the best heat to be working in.

    :s I'm speechless about those numbers. WOW

    The highest temperature ever recorded in the world is 136F in Libya in 1922. (https://wmo.asu.edu/content/northern-hemisphere-highest-temperature).

    But yeah, Louisiana summers are hot. Here in Atlanta, we've had a mild summer by our standards, but the mornings are very humid. When I run/jog it's usually 75-80, but with a dew point of 72-74 that translates to about 90% humidity or more (100% means fog - when the temp and dew point match, which has been the case sometimes). Sweat like mad during those times also.

    It's been in the 80's here in nc but the humidity is ridiculous. I have to use my wind shield wipers on non rainy days just to see. But I would never trade it for Texas heat ever again. I was born and raised there.. Some days were 100+.. And when I was a kid.. kids were locked out of the air conditioned house and forced to play in that heat!!!

    For example today @9:52 90degrees feels like 100 with a dew point of 75 that's that bulls$$t there.

    Soon as you walk out the door you are sweating. Better cool your car off first.
