Keith Browning Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 We are beginning a 7-day heat wave in the Eastern U.S. and it's friggin hot already... supposed to be in the upper 90's all week. This is the kind of heat that makes your tools hot in a shaded shop with fans. Pick up an air tool or a wrench off of your cart and it almost feels like it has been laying on an engine.

Fredsvt Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Its felt like we've been an oven for a week already, and it's getting hotter? Saturday, here at home, was so humid and so hot, every time I went outside, it felt as if you were opening your oven. And add to that, almost 5 inches of rain. Once I get home from work, I really don't want to go outside again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 I hear ya on that. Jersey tomatos and corn should ripen really nice. We have had some outstanding white corn recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselD Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 This is normal for AZ. currently we are getting a taste of the humidity with the monsoon season. Its been about 105 degrees and 30-40% humidity. It makes it pretty misierable out there to say the least. I can handle the heat no problem but this lousy humidity can suck my left nut. It wouldnt be so bad if we would get daily rain but typically the storms just blow around the city and bring the huge dust storms rather then actual rain.

Alex Bruene Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Well... Now I've heard it all.. We are shutting down early today because some of the light duty techs are complaining about the heat. The "Pussification" of the world is in full effect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredsvt Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 101.5 at work, hit 107.5 here at home. In my bays it hit 96. Kinda gave up and left a loaded F550 7.3 aft axle tank to pull on my back tomorrow. Replacing it with a plastic tank. Miserable. I really hope their right about next week's high temps.
