I was in kuwait when It was 119F everyday in the summer while we had to wear long sleeve, pants, boots there while in the army. Extreme desert ac and drinking water and staying in the shade is the only way.

Apparently it isn't hot enough for a coat though.

"Hey Bob, how's the weather looking this week?"

"Hot as sh*t Bill, back to you!"

Can't be that simple 😂

I live in Arizona, and every year around June 15th is when the high temperatures arrive. It's nothing new.

Ted Cruz had heard the news and is on his way to Canada with his daughters.

Soon they will tell us that all water will be used for fighting fires and anyone caught consuming more than 1 gall per day will be arrested.😂

Eugene OR here... we just received almost 2 inches of rain... it is a record amount for June and was needed desperately. Meanwhile, temperatures are delicious-looking now that the rain passed.

Why can’t you people say two words change it’s here now what are we going to do about it ?

Lol, I live in San Diego and now it is 66 degrees. Earlier it was 79 degrees and I don’t know what part of California they’re talking about. San Diego is highlighted red on the map but we hardly get above 85 all year. Once awhile it reaches 90 or above but you’re never uncomfortable cause there’s cool breeze even in hot days. I think we’re spoiled here. Have a beautiful day every one.

Listen, I remember a week in the late ‘70’s where in NYC (I was on Staten Island) when we had multiple days in the low hundreds. It happens.
