Multiple 105 - 107 temps recorded in the SF Bay Area today, although most were inland / east bay, but every other location was blistering hot as well. I think we might have even topped SoCal this time. Except for Death Valley of course, where a 134 degree temp was the high point, supposedly the hottest temp on the entire planet for the month of June. Holy crap, let me repeat that : 134 !! People there were probably looking to escape to Qatar for some cooling down relief :-) ;-) I'm not driving tne 968 this weekend no matter how much water wetter I have in the coolant, lol . Our cars simply do not like hot weather !



p.s. I know everyone in Las Vegas or Phoenix are probably thinking " big deal, we manage 100+ temps half of the year " but still, for me this is just nuts ! The only time this is an acceptable temp for being outdoors is if you're at a swim-up pool bar in Mexico !

Yeah, the whole western US is scorching. 108 here in Austin. But it looks like it's a pretty short-lived heat wave, and will be back into the 90s in a couple of days, which is cool for Austin this time of year.

Man that's hot. I thought 134 was the all time ever recorded high on earth in Death Valley 1913? There were some reports saying that was going to get beat this week. Enjoy the heat boys. Stay out of the sun and drink lots of fluids!



I sure don't miss Dubai summer temps now I am back in Australia. We used to see over 120 constantly and every now and then 125. I did one race where we measured the temperature in the car at over 140, and after sitting in that for an hour, I spent four hours in the medical centre on a drip for rehydration, then another day feeling the closest to death I can ever remember. Heat exhaustion is a scary thing.

Perhaps you would rather be standing in three inches of mud in your kitchen after your home has been flooded. Guess everything is relative! I'm not by the way but some folks around here got creamed the other nite with torrential rains.

I was living in Phoenix the day it hit 122, sometime in the late eighties or early nineties.

This is weather, not climate - big difference. Now this seemingly never-ending drought my part of the country has been in for years - now that could conceivably be evidence of something changing with the climate.

lol - the unseasonal heat and storms are not "weather". it's the patterns that are the indicator, not the individual peaks and valleys. the ever-increasing frequency of swings to the extremes are further indicators. in this last round here we went from unseasonably cool, to unseasonably hot, in 5 days, and it's going to drop back down to unseasonably cool at the end of the week. that's just nuts.

It is these hot days that I am thankful that I live close to the Bay and on the water. We have had a steady cooling breeze the last three days so the temps have remained in the mid to upper 80s. Very pleasant weather.

Did SHE also plan for for the three inches of mud in the kitchen ?! Could not resist.. ;-)

But of course! Don't forget the dead stinking carp lying there with flies floating around it like a dust cloud from Amarillo.
