Yes, it was miserable. Today the high is forecast to be 105 REAL temperature (thermometer reading):

Right now it is only 99 thank goodness! I do not remember days this hot in all the years I've lived here. I've had days that hot (and hotter, but dry) in Arizona but it's not the same.

Good news though - this is the end of the heat wave - after today, 90s for a few days and then back in the 80s. Our normal high for this time of year is around 84 degrees F...

Look at NC on the temp map:

>>This is crazy! 104 real temperature today? I don't remember it being that hot here ever.

>When you say 104 real temperature, do you mean actual thermometer reading? If so, what must the humidex (real feel) be? Must be horrible.

>>>We just had 37/feels like 40 here yesterday, and today isn't any better. It's too hot to even go to the beach - and some desperado has just fired up a barbecue outside, the whole neighborhood smells like oil refinery refuse on fire. Poor guy, I hope there's someone nearby who can do CPR.
