And you spemt the time since then in Antarctica? Was that really the last warm day for you?

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

The question was about a day when the temperature reached 40+ C. 32/33 is about the hottest we get in the UK.

Greetings from Phoenix, AZ. At 108F we go about our normal day. It looks like 118F is forecast for this Sunday.

Actually, we do try to get up to the higher elevations of the northern part of the state as much as we can in the summer.
It looks like 107F in Sedona (4300 ft elevation) and 96F in Flagstaff (7000 ft elevation) on Sunday.

I have been to Arizona when it has been 120F during the day and 95F at night.
A person's brains turn to scrambled eggs at 120F.
I haven't been right in the head, since. Laugh | :laugh:

I was out there for work once in August, holy crap it's nuts how hot it is! Dry heat, shmy heat, it's damn hot.

And then it's broken by fifteen minutes of rain coming at you sideways.

We've been here year-round since 2004, once we could no longer afford SoCal.

So I guess all the snow has melted at the Snow Bowl north of Flagstaff?

We visited in April and they were still skiing there.

Scottsdale, then up to the Sedona area and took the drive up to Flagstaff as something to do.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I was persuaded to be a Best Man at a friend's wedding in Phoenix. Outdoor wedding, 108 degrees, tuxedo! Luckily , it was a dry heat and it didn't last long before we went indoors for the the reception.

I live at 7000 ft in the White Mountains of AZ
Yes 97 degrees daytime but by 8 PM we go down to 76 degrees
BUT only 10% Humidity
Having lived at Grand Canyon I would watch and provide medical care
for hikers coming out of the bottom of the Canyon
Some were not adequately prepared for the hike a few would loose their life because of this

It is not a dry heat It is a HOT burn and dehydrate your body heat!
