Other cities that hit new highs for the day included Riverside (113), Indio (120), Escondido (106) and Thermal (119). "People die out here every year,” Juarez said. "First thing I tell them is that they must carry lots and lots of water. You need at least a quart per mile."[/QUOTE]

It was 107 here in LA county

Hot as balls here too. Not a nice trend

Was 122 here in Phoenix a few days ago

We got that nice 22°C here in Manitoba.

it must be awful to live in a place so hot that you could boil a kettle for a cup of coffee by just leaving it to sit outside in the sun

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;50561746]it must be awful to live in a place so hot that you could boil a kettle for a cup of coffee by just leaving it to sit outside in the sun[/QUOTE] Not really, humidity changes a lot of things.

if it's that hot in palm springs imagine death valley's temperature right now it's 110 degrees there at the moment. the record high for it is about 134F.

West coast is the best coast (kill me).

That's literally halfway to water boiling. How is Cali not a desert? #thankgodforthepacific

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50561997]That's literally halfway to water boiling. How is Cali not a desert?[/QUOTE] It is.

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50561997]That's literally halfway to water boiling. How is Cali not a desert? #thankgodforthepacific[/QUOTE] Many places in cali is desert, moving from the east coast I felt rused when I went to visit a "green California"

[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;50562037]Many places in cali is desert, moving from the east coast I felt rused when I went to visit a "green California"[/QUOTE] Holy shit, though - California has big forests. I would know as I've accidentally been stuck driving in the California forests for hours on end.

Yeah my apartment has been death that past few days. I think I'm going to melt!

Thank fuck for temperate climates. I hope no-one dies by dehydration over there but it probably happens I assume? Highest temp I've ever felt except in a sauna is just above 35C/95F.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;50562680]Atlanta :v:?[/QUOTE] Nah, Atlanta only needs a quarter inch to shut down. Also why does LA even exist I mean whose idea was it to build one of the world's largest cities in a desert like really come on man

[QUOTE=wauterboi;50562304]Holy shit, though - California has big forests. I would know as I've accidentally been stuck driving in the California forests for hours on end.[/QUOTE] In NoCal, sure. But SoCal and most of MidCal? Nothing but sand and dirt.

It hit 108°F here in San Antonio.

For the people that lives with a logic unit system, 122F is actually 50°C Holy shit

Yesterday at my place it was about 105 in the shade. The thing on my roof said it was 117 up there. It was probably more like 110 in the sun. I actually went outside for some sun since I want to try and get tan for maybe 10 minutes and then I started to burn so I noped back inside. I live in tustin, it hasn't been this hot here in probably 5-6 years. And 122 is normal for the desert here. I remember in middle school we went to palm springs in July because my aunt had really cheap resort rooms. We found out why when it was 118 and 100% humidity. I've also been camping in the desert once in may where it was probably 110 out. :what:
