Yeah the winters out west no thanks.

San Diego would be nice just about year round but. Wildfires.

Yeah the beach is hot but you usually have near constant breezes.

This pressure cooker known as the South just sucks sometimes.

Christian finally got a hit of rain. Enough for some daily relief. Still need a good day long soaker though.

Here is a list of the hottest baseball games by the actual air temperature at the time of the game. That would change quite a bit if you were to add in humidity and use heat index. There would be more Kansas City and St Louis if you did.


The top four are from 1980 and 1988. 1983 is represented as well. 2007 in California but that doesn't really affect the rest of the country. Surprised the highest Cubs game is 29th. If you understand heat waves, you will understand that longer days equals higher temperatures, therefore during heat waves as you go north, often it is hotter.

There's no data prior to 1950 on this list. If so, 1930 and 1936 would be at top

Seriously.

Heat indices of 121° in Ohio County and 119° In Todd County.



Dew Points in the upper 70s (which are usually seen in the tropics).

It’s literally hotter here than in Death Valley with the heat index. Or Kuwait.

Holy crap it’s hot.
It's Okinawa hot!!

Heat islands are urbanized areas that experience higher temperatures than outlying areas. Structures such as buildings, roads, and other infrastructure absorb and re-emit the sun’s heat more than natural landscapes such as forests and water bodies. Urban areas, where these structures are highly concentrated and greenery is limited, become “islands” of higher temperatures relative to outlying areas. Daytime temperatures in urban areas are about 1–7°F higher than temperatures in outlying areas and nighttime temperatures are about 2-5°F higher.

It's much better today. Most of Western Kentucky got some much needed rain last night. High today is only 86. Still a little muggy but NOTHING compared to what we just came out of.

I was in French Lick for a weekend in 2012 when it was 106 for like 3 days in a row. I lost all my money (I brought) in the casino in like 30 minutes - literally losing every hand, roll, or spin I played. It was soooo f'ing miserable that I swore I'd never go back.
I usually don't worry that much about heed anymore because I just go to the lake. That heat wave started the last 3 days of June and lasted till about the 10th of July. I remember being on the water and having to get in the shade of the boat to enjoy it. The first five or six days was very low humidity. The temperature here reached around 106 to 108.
