    Seems this summer is going to be hotter than normal here. The week I was gone there was a heat warning, it got up to 109. Looks like we're heading into another:

    111-117?????????????????????????? That is absolutely INSANE!!! I hope you have great AC and that it never breaks!! What happens if that breaks? I would be dead within a few hours!!

    I start melting at like 95 or so. I couldn't imagine being outside at 117. Hell, I can't even imagine those living there go out much when it goes that damn high.

    I don't even want to think about Phoenix! OMG! This is really unusual. Actually have two air conditioners here, one is a backup. If all goes well, I won't care after Tuesday, i'll be out of it. Another silver lining!

    Now Flagstaff and Sedona aren't under the warning and I work in Sedona! They aren't going to 100, Flagstaff will be in the 80's. If I wasn't going to be out of it, I'd head there.

    You live in AZ princess. Works that way, It's weird here in NM because we're 3000+ above sea level. It's killing my skin. No humidity. I have to basically bathe in lotion or I look like a mummy.

    Princess? PRINCESS?!? I am the Queen!

    We're at about 3k here too! Sedona at 4500, Flagg at I think 6-9k. Big difference in temps. All dry, it's the desert.

    I spent 4 years in 29 Palms, CA. I know the difference. I think age might have a bit to do with it as well. Not to mention I've almost always lived in high humidity and close to sea level. My body's not real happy with this place,

    I hear you about 'dry skin/hair', well you don't have the hair problem. I'm basically a greased pig here at night, doused in lotion. I now shower 2 times a week, as opposed to IL which was daily, sometimes twice in the summer.

    Yeah...I'm afraid that I couldn't handle that kind of heat. It's hot enough here in Dallas (90 already today). I dream of living some place where the high temps never get above 85 and the low never gets below 30. Unfortunately, most all of those places are controlled and over-run by leftists or commies. Dammit.

    I would have several window ACs throughout my house. Hell, they can't all break down at the same time.

    Here is a good link to up to date NOAA weather forecasts. Just search for the largest
    city close to you and you will find something close to your locale:

    http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/

    You can use the map to zoom in and click,
    or search for the specific locale in the top left corner.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
