How hot is it? - Page 2

As a country-boy pal of mine used to say, "It's so hot I saw a dog chasing a cat and they was both walkin'."

Or, "It's hotter than a fresh fu--ed fox in a forest fire."

I don't know which was hotter.

Here in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, the coolest right now is 34c at 5am with humidity 75% or so. Midday hits 55c in the sun. Our main weekly 100km ride leaves at 5am to avoid heat stroke and the major problem is carrying enough fluids. Good way to shed a few kilo tho! We have the Race of Champions (world's richest road race) coming up in November so it will be interesting to see how the big pro riders do in the heat.

I left the car tonight and it was 93 degrees, sunny and the humidity was so high it rained on me twice. The chip & seal roads are melting (again) and even the dogs are too hot to leave the shade of the trees to chase me. I was dripping all over the bike as I tried to wipe the sweat off of it after the ride.

The road race yesterday was run in 85° temps in a downpour. Sweat and rain made jerseys weigh 5 pounds and stick to skin like a freshly glued sew-up!

C'mon, I know you guys are doing 10+ degrees warmer (but, it's a DRY heat!)...turn on the air and let me know how good I've got it! I remember training in Arizona and it was HOT!

I can't remember much after that.
I don't know why I do it. I must be crazy.

Ha!...that sounds like winter here in Florida.

It's cooled off considerably here in west central missouri , heat index's were in the low 100's last week.

thunder showers last nite, 87 f now with 67% humidity heat index 96 now, I didnt ride this morning with the wet pavement and I should have. I will pay for it this afternoon on the ride.

This Afternoon: Partly cloudy, with a high near 89. Heat index values as high as 98. South southwest wind between 11 and 13 mph.

Still I dont miss the dry heat of the Coachella Valley in So. Calif.

It's been raining straight for a week here in Oregon....
From what I saw on the Weather Channel earlier, it should be clear for the rest of the week starting tomorrow.

And to think, in a few weeks I'll be praying for global warming!

Ohio cooled off with rain yesterday, today and some more in the forecast for tomorrow. Of course the humidity is 100% and it's going to be in the mid-'80's for the rest of the week. I'll hold my whining and enjoy the heat before the snow flies!

Then it will be time for a new post...for the guys up north to make me feel like it's warm down here!
