Phoenix, the hot place

For the last few days, Texas has been the hot state with most of it being well over 100 degrees.
I'm really surprised that we haven't heard about large energy outages.
 
isn't monsoon season in AZ? Don't go in the washes during this time of year.
 
I went to UTI in PHX and once my apt AC broke during the summer, it didn't get below 100F..... AT NIGHT lol.
Still a beautiful place in its own special way though. I was also younger and able to deal with a 240SX and no AC

Shit, I just realized I may need my CAPS key taken away now
 
Weather update

THE record of 113 consecutive days above 100, for 2024
The forecast for the next two weeks is around 110, with a 4-5 day stretch of smashing heat records.

What I want to know,
Just who in Cottonwood, scheduled the weather for the rally?
They managed to open the Ca. winter storm door, and let out a winner from the Gulf of Alaska,
and timed it juuussst so,
To break the heat cycle, for a Fri/Sat of 20* cooler temps. THE one weekend, of all summer, , ,
:hail
 
Seems like more Asteroids than usual this year, I've seen plenty of news stories about upcoming meteor showers.
 
What happened to the double whammy from the locusts hatch forecasted this summer?

NASA is responsible, for the gravel settling, This was an official, "Hold my beer, n' watch this,"

Record amount of records being set, they got more stats than a baseball game, , ,
Requests for more Fed money for cooling stations, for next year. Heat injuries are becoming a bigger problem, fainting, creates third degree burns from pavement.
I'm not hearing anything about leaving Az, because of the heat.

The end of page three it starts "Helmet washing" I successfully used the search function, to find this thread. Surprised it was here in Phoenix Heat, two other threads in '06 '07

Past couple of days I've been washing my 3/4 it fits in a 5 gal bucket with a propane tank to keep it submerged/soaking. First wash really ugly baby $hit yellow, third wash a light grey,
I'm going to start rinses today, I have solar turned up to 104* for the drying/baking today.
Fairly effective for heating the water in the garden hose, hot rinse, , ,

We were in Phoenix in august for a baseball tournament for my grandson. We flew in Friday night, it was stil 105 at 11 pm.
The boys were tough, had to play 3 games Sunday and almost won it all.
108 at game time.(116 the week before)
We were driving around and nobody was walking around, duh the heat.
Could never live there.
 
Cooling towels are the trick for that kind of heat, you can wear them under a shirt or around your neck.
