They've jumped the shark with the excessive heat advisories

How long until we have named heat waves

Louisiana can only wish for a temperature like that in July

I grew up on coast of the Gulf of America.

We only had window units.

This is normal summer.

I would assume you would have low humidity but what is your real feel? Ours is going to hit 106 today where I am.

It’s 75 in Chicago right now

In the Kansas City area where I live it's currently 76 degrees and we have a forecasted high of 86 today. And we have a fricking excessive heat warming until 8:00 pm. It's so stupid.

It's the climate alarmists running the weather channels. Joe Lauria is pretty good about not doing that.

The real feel is exactly what temp it is...

Get outta here with this crap

I went to grade school in the 60's-70's, from kindergarten through 5th grade never had AC in the school and there were plenty of days in late August through September where temps were in the 90's ......they never canceled school for excessive heat or excessive cold.

Worked for a railroad in the late 70's through the 80's, many days in 100 degrees weather and the heat between the rails would exceed 130 degrees, never shut the gangs down for excessive heat.

Something has happened to Americans, seems we've become pussified.

I played golf yesterday under an extreme heat advisory of 93 deg F

I played a round at 101 deg F just to see what it was like. Two distinct takeaways:
a. A quart of cold water to drink is not gonna be enough.
b. A well hit drive carries 30 yards beyond the longest drive you've ever hit.
