108 Degrees

Funny stat. This June has been cooler than the last 2 here. It was pointed out that the reason was we had a lot of normal or below temps up until this big heat wave hit.

I don't want to hear any whining out of STL, you've had cooler temps and more rain then the southern section. :lol:

Not much rain here either.

The record is now 108 and it was set on June 28, 20112 the only thing that is saving us is that the humidity is 13% so the 108 felt like 104 Cools off at night, right now it's 81

My buddy's and I tried to play golf last night, the golf course was closed. Folks running the course had more sense than us.

As I was picking up the wife in Downtown St Louis yesterday, I had a temp of 118 in the car. I guess all of the buildings radiate the heat to raise it some. I am just thankfull that we are without all of the humidity.

I also observed something I would call odd. Usually when the heat gets to the high 90s, there are many cars on the side of the road with either blow outs or steaming radiators/hoses. Yesterday I did not seem to see but a couple flats, and there was no one in them. Not as many buckles of the roads, (didn't hear of any). I wonder if the humidity contributes in any way to these happenings?
