Sundog Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I've experienced Sacramento once when it was 105-106F, I agree it was extremely hot but I'd argue last summer's heat in NYC when we were pushing over 100 was worse. The humidity made those days in July absolutely unbearable. It was a disgusting, stagnant sauna all through Manhattan. I've also been in L.A. when it was around 100 and it wasn't terrible for me. I was once in 110 degree air and it felt worse when the wind actually blew that when it was calm. It really was like a door to an oven was opened in your face.

SnoSki14 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 There's nothing pleasant about 100F+ besides the historical perspective of course so I really hope we stray away from that this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 You want to see inferno, look at KDMH (Maryland Science Center), which is right in the middle of downtown B'more. OBVIOUSLY the data here is affected by that, but they were crazy hot last summer, especially at night. On July 22 they had a day where it was 108 with a low of 88. The monthly average was 96/78. You really get a great example of the urban heat island by comparing DMH and BWI. Normal highs at BWI are, on average, about 1 degree lower. Normal lows are about 5-6 degrees lower.

Im considering the Botanical garden (wife would like it)...or heading upstate to Minnewaska for the day (though that might be a bit chilly in the morning for my son). Any other ideas?

pazzo83 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 You probably spend more money on drinks in one hour on a Friday night than it costs to buy a decent room air conditioner. There has to be more to this story dude. Well where I used to live the windows opened like a door so you couldn't just put a window unit in there, it had to be installed. So I didn't want to do that. Where I live now I moved there in August and while it has the normal windows, that month you really didn't need A/C (plus it faces into the block where there are trees/shade and such so it doesn't get as hot). We'll see how I do going into June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how I do going into June. Moderate dewpoints you'd probably be fine, but the real brutal nights are the calm, stagnant 70-75 dew point set-ups. Doesn't matter how shaded you are, it'll be torture, even sleeping bare arsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbc Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'll call BS on that, at least from my experience. Went to Phoenix one June, it was 110-114F with low humidity - felt like I was walking into an oven, difficult to breathe, absolutely oppressive, and much worse than anything I've experienced in NJ. Even at night when we cooled down to a refreshing 97F at midnight, it was still hot as hell, far from comfortable. I maintain that any temperature over your body temp, about 97-98F+, doesn't make a difference if the humidity is low, it's still unbearable. Admittedly the Vegas heat I experienced in May one year was exactly what you describe even at night time. Hard to walk, hard to breathe but DC in late July-early August that time for me as I mentioned in earlier replies was the worst I ever experienced.
