On Cajon Summit 15N earlier today, what's left of an overheated truck which was carrying a load of tires. It incinerated itself...then ignited a brush fire into the canyon below Click to view attachment

It was 116F today in PHX. Just the right temp to hide under the car and drill out a bunch of spot welds on the floor, ugh.

Well Dave,

The Verizon phons said 117 today in Orange (Central OC), but my front porch & the BMW's thermometer only got to 109, which is what I saw on the news.

My guess is that the station which Verizon uses is in the sun, cuz it's always a bit higher than at the house.

Either way, anything over 100 it's "fry your eyeball" hot! blink.gif

Don’t forget it’s dry heat. Try 107 in Texas with 89% humidity. (Did I just start a temperature war?)
914_teener
It was 107 in Glendora at 9 PM.

The outside temp gauge on the car through

Pasadena said 122.

And you guys like to rag on us northern folk, I'll take winter over blisstering heat like that anyday. stirthepot.gif
What's the difference of being shut indoors because of the need for heat or AC? confused24.gif


Sure some days suck, but for the most part I like the change of seasons we have.

It was hot here last week about 97 or so but today only 75

A blistering 74* here today. wink.gif Heat wave into the mid 80s next week. sad.gif I start the deck prep for refinishing this am.
914Sixer
We set a record in West Texas for June. We had 22 days of 100 plus heat. Down in the upper 90's this week.
rhodyguy
3/4" precip may-June. New record low total for those 2 months. Most of that 3/4" fell the weekend we were in Newberg.

Well, its 75° here and I just got back from returning over $14 in empties. Opened both trunks, and had some guy ask, "Where's the engine?" I told him, it runs on beer...

It’s so hot! I drove the 914 into work yesterday with the top off and it was fine early in the morning. But driving home at 4pm I almost burnt my lips off doing 60 through the hot air lol-2.gif av-943.gif this will pass and we will have a great So Cal summer.
ClayPerrine
Finally!!!

You guys in SoCal got a taste of a typical North Texas summer. But you are only getting it for a week. We get it from May through September.

Now you understand why we fix the AC in the 914s instead of removing it. Third degree basket weave burns on the back of the legs ruin your whole summer......

Also why external oil coolers are a necessity.
Dave_Darling
I remember the 90F+ 90%+ humidity for a month or more on end that we used to get in downstate IL.

Don't miss it at all.

Clay, you can keep the N TX weather. The cost of living may be absurd around where I live, but at least we don't have to deal with that. (Though we have had tornadoes here in the time that I've lived here!)

The heat and humidity has been in mid to upper 90s here since April. We had no spring. Went from winter to summer in one week. Heat index is around 109. Not going away any time soon.

Officially it was 105 yesterday. I was out working in the garage from 7am to 1pm. Not a problem for me.
