A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Hot and Humide North Texas

Couldn't find the weather forum so please move this to where it goes. Hot here today supposed to be 107+ with heat index around 110 and this is supposed to stay for several days like this . How is your weather?

Well let me tell you--it was plenty hot in TN this weekend.--heat registered at like 99, and I have no idea what the heat indices were.


My DH and I were at a flea market near Tiptonville-(we were at Reelfoot lake) this Saturday and I just about fainted dead away, when we went into a building to look.---Luckily I caught what was going on and called out to Rod.--he sat me down until I felt a bit better then he guided me to a food table and bought me some water and a cup of ice.---it was magic how much better I felt after the water.---We watched ourselves better after that for sure.

Today--Monday --I am told in mid-western Illinois teh temp is supposed to be at 99-100 today---Ouch!!!

According to the news just now supposed to reach 105 today+ heat index now this is just too hot.
Glad your husband got you sat down with a little water and ice we have had 3 people that I know of has died from the heat not counting kids left in cars.

Kids left in cars??? OMG !!
And Rod and I were shocked about teh peoiple who left thier white lab in the car while they were in a BBQ place eating.---they had the windows down, but really----We saw tehm leave----they didn't even bring out a glass of water for the puppy when they left.

been over 100 for most of the month of July and august has not started out any cooler. we're to see a 100 all week, my poor AC is running almost round the clock. I have to shut it off late in the day and just let it rest cause it's not cooling off, last night at 10 pm it was still in the 90's.

So far I haven't seen on the news where kids were left in cars yet, but Memphis is bad for doing it.

even yesterday when we went for outr wal mart run I told Ashley to leave her car door opened while her dad and I loaded the stuff in the trunk

yes, hot hot hot and sticky. the same as yours exactly JV. 106-107 + heat index to 113 or 114. its 78 in the house, i don't think the ac has turned off in an hour and the patio with the misters going full bore is nearly 90. the pools a cool 83, so that's where I'm agoin'. the house is too cold, the patio is full of soggy doggies who don't want to stay in the house. they want to swim in the pool with us! i was going to mow, but its too stinkin hot now! awwwww.
dog days indeed! now i gotta go rescue water stuff again. i even had to move the geraniums into the shade, sheesh. this is not fun.
