Hot enough to where the cones in our work zone were lethargic.....they were probably dehydrated, didn't drink enough water like me....

I drank about 350 oz of water out of my camelbak today. Thankfully I don't work tomorrow

Was pizzing like a mofo though.....

At my house, inner NE PDX, it hit 100*, matches with the airport official high. Still 84* now.

A very pleasant 75 inside. Great sleeping temp. Since I work nights.

Our poor little 5000BTU window air conditioner ran constant until we went to bed at 10:00. Temp in the bedroom at the back of the house was about 78, and it was 81 outside. I never noticed what a high was due to all the water being sprayed around the temp sender.

As I've got older I can't stand that CRAP! My poor vegetables....I already have 50% sun shade for the cukes and beans in back, but the beans still have a tough time even though they're watered well. I mist them several times a day to stop the leaves from burning.

All windows open, three fans going. Temp outside, 62.1, inside 68.0. Brace yourselves folks, gonna be a bit hotter today! But they say by afternoon the humidity will be in the teens!

Off topic a bit, but regarding your veggies...when we were in Israel they have miles and miles of produce growing down by the Dead Sea and it is all screened with black mesh and they use drip irrigation. It is so successful the Jordanians partnered with them and now the Jordan side of the Dead Sea is flush with produce. Very little water is available there because the Jordan river is pretty much used up by the time it gets to that area.

Thankful to have A/C at home. Not central air so our bedroom, on the back of the house and with complete southern exposure tends to get uncomfortable. Well, this year we finally broke down and bought a 10,000 BTU portable unit for the bedroom. Wow, what a difference. It makes sleeping in this heat so much easier. Normally these heat waves would leave me with only an hour or two a night, last night I got my full 6 hours in.

Upper 90s in the valley in town, outside of town about 5* less, then at home on the mountain (900') with the tall trees it was lower 80s - still warm but not hot.

Inside, 72* because I left the A/C (small window unit) on all day anticipating the heat. About 70* outside right now.

In my office it is air conditioned so quite comfortable all day - even feels good to go outside for a few minutes to have the sun on my neck and shoulders.

Don't forget to spritz that spitz occasionally! lol

It was so hot, all the guns were happy. yea, pretty lame

My neighbor who repairs industrial HVAC equipment talked me into installing a heat pump when I was building my new addition.
I don't miss that clunky old window unit I used for years.

 

[clearconscience]

These days is where I found out my central air doesn't quite keep up.
I like it cold and hate the heat. I set my t-stat at 70 degs the last two days and it hovered around 75 Degs.

 

[jbett98]

Have you checked your filters and cleaned the outside coils lately?

 

[nammac]

Working the A/C real hard. Front of the house is southern exposure, so the front bedroom is the litmus test...

Thermometer set at 70, and it is indeed 70 downstairs... That upstairs south facing bedroom is a comfortable 75...

I spent all day today on the white membrane roof @ SolarWorld fixing and cleaning one of their BADLY neglected Trane Intellipak 60-ton rooftop units that broke down last night. The sun beaming down, then reflecting back up from the white membrane roof... That's FRAKIN' HOT!

I've been there, next stop is you replacing this a/c when it burns up,
won't be long now

Or you could call the repairman--before the thing burns up...
