Alpha5 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 115 in Vegas over the summer. Coming from the Northeast it was like nothing i've ever felt before. Dry crushing heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 No thought necessary on this one, July 1996, Needles, CA. 118 degrees. I was trying to pump gas in my car, had on sandals, and the pavement was buring my feet through the sandals. I finally had to move into some shade while it filled up, a guy working there saw me suffering, struck up a conversation and then said "this ain't too bad, it was 121 last week". I didn't say it, but I thought I'd kill myself before I'd live in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 111 in the San Joaquin Valley in California. Dry heat though, I've been in what felt hotter here in the SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msp Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 i've driven across the az desert in the summer, and i think i recall seeing like 110F or 111F on the thermometer, but the worst i've ever actually spent a decent amount of time outside in is 107F, both at a family reunion at a park in omaha a few years ago and last august at A&M in college station, tx.

Bob Chill Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 115+/- and windy in Vegas. However, the worst heat I've ever been in was 105+/- in the DC area. It felt like I was walking in a bowl of hot broth as opposed to standing in front of a huge hairdryer in Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southmdwatcher Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Las Vegas in late June 2007, it was above 110 degrees for several days during my stay. Augusta, Georgia was 105 with a dewpoint in the upper 70's during another visit in the 1990's and here at home there have been several days near or slightly above 100 with dewpoints near 80 that were very uncomfortable.

Bob Chill Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I clearly remember the stretch we had from July 3-7th 1999 in the DC/Balt area. Lost power on the 3rd-4th. It was 93 inside the house and the outside thermo registered about 105. Blech! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayBreeze Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 most uncomfortable is a tie. downtown fort worth in a suit when it was 105. not a dry heat that day. new orleans around labor day one year. everyone was partying in the streets. no wind. no shade. loaded with loaded people. upper 90s with upper 70s dewpoints. it is tough to make me uncomfy in heat, but those did it.

WeatherX Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Yeah, Las Vegas in the summer of 1989 installing fiber glass insulation in full protective garb while working on a new home. I'd estimate it was 115F or higher outside, probably closer to 130F (inside the home) under the conditions we were working in.

Scorpion Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 122, I don't remember because I was 1. Being old enough to remember, I'd say 117 or 118. I still feel that the 99-100 I experienced in NYC one summer was far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
