Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

Expected high of 110F in my area this weekend. Highs up to 120F in lower elevations. Lows above 80F expected for the next 7 days. Hope the bananas don't fry! :(

On the bright side, the rest of the country looks lovely!

To Funny.. Its been Hotter than normal the last several weeks. We got lucky and got cooled down a bit today by a shower. When its over 80 @ 2am its warm out. I know :^)

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

Oh, I didn't mention the 10% humidity :'(

Abnshrek, 79F sounds perfect for bananas. I'm jealous :D

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

Sounds like time to put a couple eggs in a pan in the driveway.. 10% Humidity almost sounds like an Oven. :^)

Don't worry Velutina, I'll also be sharing beautiful weather this weekend! :woohoonaner:
After living here you realize seat belts make a good branding iron, asphalt has a liquid state, the cold tap is the same temperature as the hot one, and you break a sweat stepping out at 7:30 a.m.

Great pool weather though, the water feels like body temperature.

LOL! Rich, Very true! I turn my water heater off in the summer and the water is still too warm!!! Plus, Phoenix is usually 5-10 degrees warmer than Las Vegas! Good luck this summer :D

Jarred removed the multiquote!!!! WHY?????

OK, velutina, glad to see you here. Don't worry about the warmth. As long as you irritate, bananas will grow better than in my temps (record lows in 160 years). My zone 8a this year feels like 3a and it's not getting better.

Remember: it could always get worse. :)

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

Its either HOT or COLD but neither in the middle, atleast not for long. Its 97F in the shade... In the sun, it feals like you could fry an egg on the car hood.:ha:

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

wow thats hot! Here according to the heat index it's 108F and i thought that was bad!

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

I went out this morning to spray down the bananas at 9am and it was already 98F :(

It got up to 103F yesterday. The only damage so far is on an Ensete glaucum.

Blake, I might just have to crack an egg on the road this weekend and post pics :D

Amber, I don't think i've ever really experienced heat+humidity like you get there. At least when it reaches 108F here, the dry breeze cools you down. But the bananas don't appreciate it unfortunately.

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

lol it literally feels like you walked into a sauna when you step outside lol Or a bathroom with a super hot shower going. the air almost feels to thick to breath lol Bananas love it though!

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

That must feel horrible Amber! :( At least in the desert the heat dries you up before you know it. One of my friends told me he went to Florida a few years back and it was so humid one day that he could actually see the air moving around him.

Is it really that bad? :camelnaner: <---------Awesome camel btw.

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

LMAO it sure feels like you can see it, but no.....i have never "seen" air.......lol

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

Multiquote is back, no worries. :birthdaynana:

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

Weather stations in my area are reporting temperatures of 110-115F.

This sucks!

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

Nice and warm. No floods for you I guess. ;)

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

You got me by 13 degrees and I second that motion.. Stays this Hot all summer Kingsford is going to go Bankrupt.. :^)

Re: Here comes the HEAT! :(
 

Important note: Never move to Arizona or Las Vegas! :eek: Maybe Florida though since it sounds a lot like here! We are at 85 degrees here with 45% humidity. We'll be having upper 80s [farh], with lows in the 60s for the next 5 days! :D
You people, in the Mohave-like areas, stay safe and don't forget the potato chips [salt really helps]! :)
