100 is nothing. Really quite nice after a while. It's when it gets in the 105 area that it get a bit sweaty.

I would take 120 in AZ over upper 80's - 90's here in Chicago any day. Humidity is nasty!

It is 97 degrees and feels like 96 degrees, like Tim said that is not hot.
Hot is 100 degrees feels like 106.
Texas heat is nothing like the heat with high humidity in Mississippi.

Yep I agree Beth. I hate humidity. One of the few things I like about West Texas is the lack of humidity. Humidity here in Lubbock has been below 10 % with temps between 95-105. Sure beats sticky humid summers at my Wisconsin home.

Think it was closer to 102 yday. Problem here is that it never cools off..once we get into it, it's not uncommon to see 90's up until midnight.

Damn glad I bought my portable AC unit when I did.

The local new was teasing us last night. They were showing footage from Super Bowl Weekend when we had all of the snow and ice and everyone was complaining about it.

Garage air 98 F
Driveway -Concrete is 135 F
Inside my car 145 shade
on the dashboard - direct sun 151 F (Texas heat is good for something - I put some leaf litter in bags to kill any bugs - 6hrs in car and 24 hours in my freezer)
