Well, I guess it is a good thing that the wife had her back surgery last week, and that i am her main care giver. So that is my excuse for not riding right now, not that the 98 deg. and high humidity has anything to do with it.
The breezway between my garage and my condo is 112, and I'm grilling out tonight, sizzle.
We here in the Ohio Valley are expecting record highs through the weekend, and those wonderful evening T-Storms that are just a fact of life here in this OV.
I know most on here are getting into those 90 + temps also, how hot is it your backyard?
And remember to stay hydrated, ride safe all.
Greg :P

About 95 at the moment...

About 100 at the moment. :yikes:

We went out for a mid Michigan back roads ride - was watching the thermometer which is quite accurate and temps ranged from 96 - 101 during the ride. At 98 degrees, you can tell when you hit a couple higher yet.
We got back and my brother in law said that his son in El Paso is probably well in triple digits. We were watching a bit of NASCAR pre-race stuff and thought it must be REALLY hot down there.
So we checked:
El Paso - 85 degrees
Daytona - 75 degrees
Flushing, MI - 98 degrees

Was 87 with car sitting in the shade when I left the house in Saint Joseph MI at 11:30 this morning and by the time I got to the boat docked in South Chicago at 12:45 the temp was 101 degree.... :'(
Temp in the E/R right now (19:00 EST) is 105 and rising cause I just started up 7,200 HP worth of heat makers..... :o

4:20 in the afternoon here in the PNW, a very nice 72 degree's outside... ;D

That whole idea of leaving Flowriduh to escape the summer heat is getting turned on it's head the last coupla years.
North Branch MN, temp 93, dew point 76, heat index 106. One of my brothers lives there.
Red Wing MN, temp 97, dew point 73, heat index of 107. I and wifey usta live there.
Tavares, FL, temp 90, dew point 70, heat index of 94.

Something wicked comes your way, Jay.
I hear the heat will be moving towards you by the beginning of the week. You best find some way to store that good weather.

According to my weather station.
Yesterday's high in my backyard was 96.8 @ 3:43pm. The highest heat index was 112.3 @ 1:13pm.

This is our 8th or 9th straight day of 100+ temps. I am on my 7th without a/c...it gets replaced today! High today of 106.
-
96 on the 4th, air only in the bedroom, but, we keep the house closed up during the day and it only gets to maybe 82 inside, basement is much cooler. 96 forecast for Friday, I'm working, I'll be on the Engine so its not too bad, no air on that pig either, but I won't be going in on anything burning, I leave that to the young Turks.

Yep, it's supposed to get into the 80's today and for the rest of the week and all of next week it's supposed to be mid to high 80's, perfect! Even better we leave for vaca again this Sunday, taking the RV to the coast for a week, should be perfect down on the coast, probably low to mid 70's and sunny!

Well, 7 weeks of vaca, I took a week last Thanksgiving/Christmas that leaves me 6 weeks for this summer... ;) 8)
Good timing though on the weather heat up, the folks that will be house sitting for us called last night and said they were looking forward to using our pool all week, works out nice for all! :)

New record for our are today, 104.
I saw 108 in Philly on the news, WOW.
Keep it cool and ride safe all.

Temperature was about 103 in Central VA on yesterday. Think we are supposed to get a break later this week. With these high temperatures, the Connie is parked. I occasionally catch an early morning ride. The only bikers I see are mostly cruisers or scooters. For the most part, they do not wear protective gear, save an open faced helmet. Most ride with shorts and tee shirts.
-
Set a new record here, for my weather station anyways.
Yesterday
100 with a heat index of 112, both at 1:43p.
6/28 had a heat index of 116
I can't ride in these temps either. Well, I can, but I won't. I've seen a few bikes out. No one with gear or a helmet though.
-

Try it some time, feels great! ;D
When it's this hot out, I'll take frequent breaks, soaking down the t-shirt(usually dries out w/in 20 minutes or so anyway) & re-hydrating.
-
90 and up you will not find me on a motorcycle.
-
Never got below 110 when I went through South GA all the way past Augusta when I started the trip from Tampa to Canada. Had to wear leathers as protection from the heat.
I'm in Atlantic City tonight, after a bunch of gambling I'm up just enough for a tank of C14 fuel and one monster energy drink. Good times =)
-
It was around 75 today in the SF Bay Area; right now it's ~68. Wife and I went into San Francisco yesterday for dinner at Fisherman's Wharf and had to wear jackets. For some reason we have been blessed with very mild weather this summer; I haven't seen anything above 80 for more than a couple of days. But then our hot season isn't until August or September.

Been in the mid-80s here with around 25% humidity.
Was 115 when I rode to Oatman and Topock last week though--felt great! ;D
Still don't like the humidity though--y'all can keep that, I'll stick with the dry heat.
