Hoosier Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 A bit warm But hey, it's a dry heat. Dewpoint is 33. Wonder what the warmest temp is at that time of the morning in Chicago. I wouldn't be surprised if it's less than 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I checked the hottest day I could think of July 14th, 1995. ORD and MDW were 89. Yeah I checked that day too. I just went through the 100F degree days, figuring that those would have the most likely chance of having a 90F degree reading at 9:00, and I found 3 days in the period that hourly obs are available (back to the 1940s)...6/20/1953, 7/27/1955, and 7/6/2012. All 3 were 90F at 9:00 am. 1953 and 1955 were at MDW (the official site at the time) and 2012 was at ORD. There could be other days of course, but it would take too long to search. https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KMDW/1953/6/20/DailyHistory.html https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KMDW/1955/7/27/DailyHistory.html https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KORD/2012/7/6/DailyHistory.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Yuma officially hit 120 this afternoon. Making it the 4th hottest day in history. Arizona is always a dry heat though, not that it makes it any better, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's humid for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Every time I take the kids camping, I end up packing things up in brutal heat. Today was no exception, lots of sweat soaked the dry ground of Grayling, MI at the Jellystone campground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Looks like a high of 118F in Phoenix, which is the earliest such reading on record (previous earliest 118F temp was June 24). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 http://www.graylingjellystone.com During the early summer trips, I usually go to private campgrounds because they have pools and other things to do, since lakes are still cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 At this point all I can do is laugh watching Monday's potential evaporate locally. I think I have had 3 thunderstorms all year and 2 of them came in the winter. It just a bit old when you go into work and it's another day of high clouds. Honestly at this point I'd say this spring and summer have a potential to be worse than 2009's locally for action. The winter thing is true, heh. 2009 wasn't bad in this part of Ontario, I remember June 25 which was one of the most memorable days of the year for several reasons, there was a good storm in April that knocked out power, and last but not least August 20 where the thunderstorm itself wasn't big but oh just a F2 tornado that's just a hop, skip and a jump away. There were others that would blow so far 2016 away if you didn't include those 3 examples mentioned. Can't help but wonder what did we do to deserve this. That's what I said last June and in 2014. 111/29 in Phoenix That's some good stuff, it got up to 118ºF while the DP was 30ºF. 117F right now. The low was 85ºF last night!

roardog Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I was looking at the forecast for Death Valley and the low Tuesday night is going to be 95-98 or something like that with a high of 122-125. Imagine waking up to a temperature near 100. It might be interesting to experience once but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yeah my oven is a dry heat, you don't see me climbing in. Yeah, I think that there is something to the "dry heat" idea when you are in the upper 80's with a low DP, but 90+ and it doesn't matter. It's still freaking hot.

Geos Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Once you get above 95°, imo - hot is hot no matter what. I know if you've been in the water on a hot day with a low dew point you'll dry off pretty quick. Been in like Oklahoma where the day was starting out in the high 80s, near 90° before.

cyclone77 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 "Dry heat" can actually be more dangerous than hot and humid conditions. With "dry heat" your perspiration evaporates so quickly you don't get the same sense of how hot it really is relative to a hot and humid environment in which you would increasingly accumulate more and more sweat. You can find yourself getting into serious trouble in a hurry in those desert environments if you don't recognize, and respect how amazingly fast you can become dehydrated/overheated.

Chambana Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I was not downplaying or disregarding the 115-120 degree readings with a oh it's a dry heat it's not that hot, just stating it's a dry heat, but as cyclone said that itself is more dangerous than moist "sticky" heat. On the morning news they pointed a gun that reads temperatures on surfaces, and playground equipment in phoenix yesterday was 185 degrees, car door handles were 145. Pretty remarkable.

josh_4184 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 We had our honeymoon in Vegas back in 2009 and was in the 110-115 a couple days straight talk about brutal. I always laugh when I hear the ole "dry heat: comment. You know its hot when your shoes are melting to the pavement when walking, can't understand for the life of me how people can live in that climate. But I guess people can/do say the same thing about the cold and snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_4184 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 why would you honeymoon in vegas, much less during the summer? I didn't realize choosing a location and date for our honeymoon required an explanation? Perhaps next time I will make sure to consult with your approval for any vacation plans/etc? As a FYI Vegas was not our only location, we also booked a cruise on the west coast as well but wanted to stop in Vegas for the first part.

slow poke Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 why would you honeymoon in vegas, much less during the summer? I was thinking the same thing until I thought about it and remembered my wife and I kind of did the same thing being out there this time of year for our honeymoon. We spent 3 weeks driving around out west, never made it to Vegas but drove all around MT, WY, SD, ND, UT, AZ, NM, summer of 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
