was what they said it felt like, I take 2 metal buckets fill them wit hwater and freeze them over nite. Makes a good popsickle for the dogs to mess with. I read about it here someone else had posted this so I give it a try. Works nicely. I also filled up a kiddie pool (Them kids chased me for a mile) with water and a 20 lb block of ice. Hope it cools off soon.

HOLY CATS !! Is that the norm where your at ? When we lived in Phoenix AZ we would freeze ice blocks to put in our pool and put one in or right beside the dog house.

No, we are in a heat wave, a big one. The water from the flooding has made the humidity levels like 99%, bugs are very bad too with all the water. Soon it will be winter tho and we will complain about the cold

I feel your pain.... we've been here in the Omaha area since last Wednesday. We have humidity in PA, but nothing like what they are having here right now! Hard to breath, sweat running in your eyes just standing still. It's just miserable!
Waiting for this to break somewhat before heading out to the sandhills to drop dogs at summer camp. Sitting in a state park, RV plugged in, AC running night and day, taking a dip in the lake around 8 pm and then trying to get the dogs into the lake to cool them down.
Not fun!

Talk about bugs, god Tony and I tried to fish yesterday, it's no fun breathing this No SeeUms, and they bite like Pit Bulls. Horrible. The humidity the other day was 100% and the heat was 89. You could see the humidity, it wasn't even raining.

I live in the DRY desert of Utah, and feels a tad humid today. I am from California and was use to 40-50% humidity at times, but when I moved here man it dries you sweat to your body LOL. Still getting use to it after 7 years.

we've been here in the Omaha area since last Wednesday

Well now if you want to come out to my place in the hills let me know. We have some fine dining in the area. What RV park you at?

Ken. I use a beef cattle spray on the steers, used it on me and them no seeums go away. It smells bad tho but to be bug free for awhile.

Went to Carter Lake with the boat, no bugs on the water....hmmm

We've got enought here for the whole U.S. It's bad and I've spent a fortune on different sprays. I've got some Ultra Shield for the dogs. Might try it.

A little relief is in sight, forecasted for low nineties next week. Knew it was bad yesterday when it was 103 and the trees in the distance looked like they were in fog from the muggy haze. One day last week had grayish skies without a cloud in the sky. Humidity was down to 45% today at 102*, the only good thing about being over 100 with no rain is the humidity will start to drop.

At least yall have humidity. Here it is about 20-30% humidity and over 100 every single day. It is in the mid 80's every single night. Hot, dry, fire laden and miserable with no rain in sight.

I'd DANG SURE take the humidity for some precip right now. Sounds like a good trade. Some of the pics above at least show green on the ground. There is no green here unless your soaking it with copious quantities of water. My entire yard is stone cold dead.

Still a little green in the NE part of the state, but drying out fast. Sucks about teh weather down your way, turkey hunted on some land SW of you this spring, saw good numbers of breeding birds, not looking so good anymore. Doesn't seem like long ago that we were complaining about the 30 below temps.

8 am, sitting on the picnic table having my morning coffee and it's actually rather pleasant. Breezey, no humidity yet......time to head out to the sandhills!

Luckily, this too shall pass and we'll be moaning about snow soon enough. Be careful with the pooches in this weather, they can drop fast on you! Plenty of water for man and beast.
Good training!

A Minneapolis weatherman describes a dew point of >80ºF as "unbearable". After 3 days, I have to agree. You can not legally dress light enough to work outside when you have 97º and a dew point of 82. You can not breath or lose body heat fast enough. My 40 year old air conditioner is still working.

No complaints about 30 below temps here. That is comfortable deer stand weather for me. My thoughts have always been, If it is cold, I can bundle up and get warm. But when it is hot, like stated above you cant take enough close off legally to get comfortable.

When I was in the military, I worked int he engine/boiler room of our ship I tolerated it it well, even doing drills in the heat in Cuba. But now, in my old age, I find I am less and less heat tolerant. Go figure.

I would love to find a place in the states to live where it is about 70 degrees year round.

My yard is nothing but dirt not even any dead grass. No decent rain since September of last year. It was 87 degrees at midnight last night right before I went to bed. As soon as the sun comes up it is in the mid 90's and by about 11 am it is over 100.

Many places are like this in the summer, it is why I dont live there

like KY in July and August, was on the ohio border one nioght camped, the skeeters were out in full swing they done carried a gal away. Heat was 95 at midnight, pool was busted.

Or Corpus Christy in August, the walls seep mildew and outside walls are covered in mold there.

I expect that in them places, but not here, it just isnt normal for this region. I must admit tho, my place seems 10 or 15 degrees cooler than the city is. Shade trees, a breeze is what I have at home. Work outside every night after I get off work till 9 or so. I dont even change now, the shirt is soaked by the time I get home but the motorcycle I ride isnt A/Ced

get 40 mpg tho s oit is a good trade off.

Blocks of ice for them dogs, fresh cool water for the livestock and a fridge full of drinks in the barn

Kensfishing, did ya catch any fish? I heard the fishing in carter lake is great for catfish. You can see the bottom it is so clear. We might go out in the boat friday, come on down and go with me and my boy, bring tony too. I gots a cooler....

Well, I guess we can share each others pity come November, I guess.

- Sounds like a good year to go back home to South Dakota.

Guymon, Huh? I was there for a horrid 17 day stretch at the ADM plant out there next to the highway. We were contracted to lower and rebuild the "Texas Stacker" that is right there along the road, a couple years ago. It sucked.

It has been bad here, you missed out on a decent day here today though. Pretty stiff winds all day dried the air out a little, was 102 and the heat index was only 108, thats what 9 straight days in the 100s with no rain will do for ya. Was 101 in my garage and reloading room, figured I better take advantage of the weather and got a few boxes reloaded this afternoon.

We have a 350 year old oak tree spread over our house and lawn. Lawn is a lush green. Only time we curse it is when we have to rake the leaves or deal with the nut fall every 7 years. Ever tried raking nuts a foot deep? I 'm glad some First Nations Person planted that tree.
