Just 6 months ago we had -15 windchill and now we have 115 heat index at nothing like a 130 degree real feel difference 

i would say "that's how we do it!" but folks in like Iowa are like, "just 130 degree difference?  that's it?"

Plenty of time. I didn't reach 100 until around 5 pm yesterday

The Baltimore City mesonet site just reached 100°. The Bittinger location, located at ~2,600 ft ASL in Garrett County, is on pace for an all time record high.

101/72/111.5     Not bad.   

This brings back memories of 3 years in India in the early 90s (when I was skinny and could dissipate heat better!).   We had weeks of 113-118F temps with sultry humidity, which put the HI off the normal charts here in the US.  Made us wonder why in the migration of homo sapiens did they ever stop there and not keep moving to a more tolerable climate.
