As of right now 105. Humidity is low today, though. Only about 30%.
So the heat index is only 112.

Yesterday, the humidity was 42%. That would have made the heat index 124, which is quite toasty...

Like much of the country we had crazy heat in July but it seemed to have broken by the beginning of August. We wake up to mid- to high-60s and see peaks in the low 80s in the afternoon.
Always humid, though.

It’s been pretty brutal, but this morning we’re in Amarillo and it’s pretty nice. On ward to Flagstaff today, the last long drive, but shorter than the first two days.

That heat sucks. Last weekend a golfer (Lucas Glover) won a pro tournament but got lots of jokes about him sweating through his pants. Well it was like 95 degrees there and a dewpoint of 80. That is nearly off the charts for humid... any dewpoint about 60 in the summer is too high for me, it's one reason I moved to Minnesota (for real).

I know I have shared this before about Bangkok, but to make you appreciate Minesoooota more. The vertical axis is the % of the day at each particular dew point category.
Dry <55
Comfortable = 56 - 60
Humid = 61 - 65
Muggy = 66 - 70
Oppressive = 71 - 75
Miserable = > 76Currently 1145 pm, and dew point = 75. From May through October, about 95% of the time, it is >70, regardless of time of day.
But, the great thing about humans is that we do adapt, and become (somewhat) used to it.
