Extreme heat in Arizona preventing planes from taking off and melting plastic and paint

[MindWars]

Arizona is no stranger to heat waves. But even by natives’ own high standards, the past week has been scorching. The Guinness World Record for hottest temperature ever recorded is 134 degrees Fahrenheit. In Phoenix and Tempe, Arizona, it’s touched 119 degrees and just barely gone below 90 at any point over the past week, according to the National Weather Service.

It gets hot as hell in Az. it is dry heat but when you stay in the sun dry heat or not that heat is something else.

Were going into a La Niña phase and the wind patterns have already shifted.

Regional hot areas will happen..

Yes, it was really hot last week...up in the 100's in Northern California, finally cooled down.. I can't imagine what it is like in Arizona..
I had a layover once in Arizona, so awful hot I could never live there.

This week has been the hottest I can remember in 25 years. I have an interesting array of desert animals surviving in my patio garden including screech owls, quail, rabbits, dove and lizards. Sometimes all species will be within a few feet of each other in the shade under my lemon tree.

Have you ever been to the Washington DC..? You can't even breath it is so humid and hot.. Those people wore layers and layers of clothing back in the 1700- 1920's ...

I run out and do my errands early and get home before it is hot... You are right , we are blessed to have cool air in our home..

What state do you live in Pismoe?

80% of the concerts I goto are outdoors. All at big amphitheatres or stadiums. I catch a few indoors here or there but those are usually the washed up artists

I've never been in that kind of heat. The hottest I remember was about 105 to 110 but we have retarded humidity here that makes it feel much hotter than it is.

It's different.

I once mowed a lawn in AZ (110 F) as a kid, then got on a plane and flew to Oaklahoma City (90 F/85% humidity). That afternoon I mowed a lawn there...I could not breath.

Totally different experiences...neither of them pleasant.

Palm Springs 115 back in 1971 didn't even break a sweat because it was dry heat. In the Midwest you can feel like you are roasting when it gets to 80 degrees because of the humidity.
