How hot is it?

Arizonans and Texans...make me feel 'cool'.

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!

Orlando has been 97 w/humidity. That is as bad as it gets around here. No rain to cool us and we are in the middle of the state, so don't get those nice coastal breezes. Come November though, it gets perfect through May.

The heat index will be way into the upper 100's today when I ride. I am guessing it will be 108 F or so on the pavemant without the index factor.
So a 10 mile fast ride is in order. No flats here,just mountains.
DAWG DAY RIDIN!

Folks - those temps are way too hot.

Couldn't survive riding in that heat.
Then again a good summers day here is 20 Celsius.

Its 8am here in phoenix and its already 94 degrees. It will get up to 108 or so today. I usually ride at 5-6am in the summer and a little later in the winter months. If I go for any distance, I bring 3-4 bottles of water with me, usually one of them to cool down, spilled over neck and head area. Humidity this time of year is pretty bad too, this is our Monsoon season(late afternoon storms)

Here in Cyprus almost everyday is 111.2/44 fahrenheit-celcius at 16:00 pm, how about this for a hot weather

Here in Houston it has been relatively cool, today it's 95 and from what I've heard it hasn't been much hotter in the month I was away.

But still, a humid 95 makes for a painful ride

Houston, Tx.

94F/34C, heat index 103F/39C, but only 48% humidity. The hottest part of the day to come.

The humidity is bad here. I just got back from my ride and my water bottle boiled, the temp on my computer read holy **** and a Beagle chasing me took 3 steps off his grass and on to the pavement and burst into flames and then I rode out of the shady part and into the sun.
I can't remember much after that.
I don't know why I do it. I must be crazy.
It just HOT!

I was going to take a LSR today, but an appointment the wife scheduled saved me - not that hot here in Wisco (~80 F), but the humidity is like 95% - I feel like I'm in Southeast Asia, I swear I saw some Viet Cong hiding in the bushes behind my house.

Gosh, it's really hot here.
