Paul - time to thank Willis Carrier, early air conditioning inventor!

Been in Mid-80s to low 90s here in Central NM - about typical for mid June. Hit 110 when we were in Lake Havasu, AZ a couple weeks ago. That was fun!
 
Mid 70's here - slowly creeping to 80. we have had a very slow season which was a complete PITA in may but now with the furnace and AC off and the windows open it is amazing!
 
We hit 100 on the front porch yesterday.

SW Ohio is supposed to be mid to upper 90s the next few days, along with possible storms and high winds today.

Around here that's just a summer day. It's really not bad.

Since I spent close to twenty years working in ambient Florida conditions, the same attitude applies. 👍

It was pretty muggy today a little over 30% humidity.

When you live in it and work in it it is something you become accustomed to. I have A/C in the house but I don't run it all the time and when I do I usually keep it in the mid to low 80s inside. Much cooler and you don't enjoy being outside.
 
Omigosh! It's beginning to feel like summer!

Remember these 1950s evaporative coolers for cars?

How hot is it?
It's so hot that when I go for a drive tomorrow,
I'll take the Miata,as it has A/C.
 
Supposed to be a real 95+ out today and feel like as much as 110 with the humidity in SW Ohio according to the tv weather last night. Storms came through yesterday evening with winds in some areas approaching 100mph, 10% or so of the area lost power. Mine flickered several times but never went completely out.

Not shocking, Mike. We had more 100°F days living in western PA than the thirty-plus years here.
