Where is he at, Yuma, AZ?
My sister is there.

Bear

 

[G]

Yes but it is a dry heat. Yeah right. Bet the AC service people are busy.

 

[chords]

No need to even have a NWS Office in PHX. Everyday is the same for months. Sunny and Hot anywhere between 90* n 120*.

 

[frnash]

Where is he at, Yuma, AZ?
My sister is there. …

Hey, Yuma is typically even hotter than Phoenix! I'm in Phoenix.

No fricking way could I live with these temps. 90 for a low?!! Come on man!!!! …

Our highest "overnight" (usually just after sunrise) low so far this year has only been 84°F — just last night, but we'll probably get there soon.

The highest minimum temperatures in Phoenix (from 1896-2008) were:

96°F	Jul 15, 2003
95°F	Aug 12, 2003
93°F	Jun 27, 1990
90°F	Sep 1, 2007 Sep 3, 1983 Sep 3, 1982

And, as grub said:

Yes but it is a dry heat. …

That it is. From 10AM-10PM daily for the past week or so we have seen single-digit humidities, with lows of 2-4% sometime between 2-7PM on several occasions.

Yeah, it's a tad warm this week.
As of the 5:11 PM (preliminary) Daily Climate Report, we hit a high of 118°F at 4:01PM today, tying the all-time record for the day, but it now looks like we won't be breaking any more all time records this week. The current forecast shows the peak temperature this week will be a mere 119°F on Tuesday (6/20). Boo hoo!

But there's always next week! (Historically we score record high temperatures during the last week of June.)

If you park your car outdoors, in addition to a sun shade in the windshield, throw a beach towel on the seat, and another towel over the steering wheel. That or to avoid second-degree burns or worse, wear your "Ove' Gloves" when touching an unprotected steering wheel, and the door latch as well. (They should be included as standard accessories with rental cars in AZ, like ice scrapers and snow brooms in da UP! )

Incidentally, it has been said that all of the AC units pumping heat out of homes and other buildings these days is actually increasing the heat level in the metro area, especially affecting the nightly/early morning low temperatures!

Highest temperature ever recorded in Arizona.

Curiously enough the highest temperature ever recorded in AZ was not in either Phoenix nor Yuma, but in Lake Havasu City, right on the Colorado river!

From (among other sources, click →) Wikipedia, Lake Havasu City, AZ Climate:

"Lake Havasu City holds the all-time record high temperature in Arizona history with 128 °F recorded on June 29, 1994. This temperature is also the highest for a town or city in the Western Hemisphere."

That's a mere 6 degrees less than the all-time record (now disputed)[SUP]1[/SUP] high temperature of 134°F at Death Valley, CA! You'd think they'd benefit from some significant cooling effect from the lake/river, no?

for what it's worth...

PHOENIX — The extreme heat forecast for Phoenix on Tuesday has caused the cancellation of 20 American Airlines flights out of Sky Harbor International Airport.

According to a statement from American Airlines, the American Eagle regional flights use the Bombardier CRJ aircraft, which has a maximum operating temperature of 118 degrees. Tuesday's forecast for Phoenix included a high of 120 degrees, and the flights that are affected were to take off between 3 and 6 p.m. MT.

Customers affected were told to contact American Airlines for rebooking options or to request a refund.

Extreme heat affects a plane's ability to take off. Hot air is less dense than cold air, and the hotter the temperature, the more speed a plane needs to lift off. A runway might not be long enough to allow a plane to achieve the necessary extra speed.

American Airlines alerted travelers on Saturday about the heat wave and recommended they change any flights scheduled to arrive or depart between 3 and 6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. The flight changes would be free of charge.

This is reminiscent of Phoenix's record-setting high temperature of 122 degrees on June 26, 1990, which grounded some airlines for the day. Larger jets, such as Airbus and Boeing, aren't expected to be affected by this week's heat.

Must be all those "swamp coolers" making PHX hotter.

[whitedust]

I participated in a team building event in Vegas at 112 degrees and people were dropping like flies... I hung in there drank a case of bottled water but all in all it was horrible! Dry heat or not my clothes were soaked with sweat and I was light headed. AC saved me in the afternoon after I finished the course but I didn't feel very well and hate that kind of weather. I'll take 35 below anytime just need to dress for it.

 

[slimcake]

**** ya I can dress for 35 below! You wanna see this fat man naked when it hits 90? Didn't think so!! Heat sucks. I don't know how many shirts I have with the "summer sucks" slogan on em... SUMMER SUCKS!!

 

[frnash]

Must be all those "swamp coolers" making PHX hotter. …

Not so much. The ol' "swamp coolers" just push moist air in, cooling the interior by evaporation; they don't pump heat from inside to outside like A/C (refrigeration) units do. Also, while the "swamp coolers" do a decent job in low humidity (which allows for greater evaporation), they aren't worth squat in the higher humidities (dew points above 55°F) of the monsoon season.

My sister patrols from the air for the CBP near Yuma and they have been grounded during daylight hours for the past four days due to heat. The guys on the ground are out in full force though.

I hope Trump builds that wall soon (my thoughts).

[sweeperguy]

I am ordering one right now!

Got mine today
Did you get yours ordered Slim?
Did you get the pre-order deal with the banner and decal?

 

[slimcake]

Yep it showed up Sat. Got last years shirt as well. I like that one better I think. The banner is ok not big enough to hang in the garage I don't think though.... Stickers for the tool box. Summer Sucks!!!!

 

[sweeperguy]

I agree I like my last years shirt design better also.
I put the decal on my truck.
Figured the banner would go in my trailer. It's fully insulated and electric lights/outlets etc. so we can sleep in it. Like you said to small for garage. Bet you could order a large one for your garage if you wanted, on the backside edging it's marked X-Small
