It’s the “feels like” temp that gets you. And tomorrow is forecast to be nearly the same as today.

We turned it up to 11 to see if it would kill the coronavirus.

I think you’d have better results if you baked your state leadership in a solar oven instead.

Well, we are where we are, and I’d like to bake all the assholes who are protesting against wearing a mask.

94 here 14% humidity. Won’t be washing the car. Too lazy after small neighbor party last night. Will be watering my little patch of lawn and flowerpots when it starts cooling down tonight.

I didn’t think it could actually get that hot.

I’ll take that low humidity.

Two or three years ago , all new ducts, added second duct in vaulted living room. Before the upgrade , the unit ran all day long. Now it keeps the house very comfy and goes on and off as it should.

What? That is not a temperature that should exist. And it’s not like Austin is Phoenix or something...

Pretty sure it’s a glitch in the matrix.

It’s a glitch. It’s really only abut 96.

Yeah, it’s really only about 96.

54 degrees Celsius...feels like 90 degrees Celsius. That temperature would blast right on by the Australian all time maximum of 50.7 degrees Celsius, recorded at Oodnadatta in South Australia.

Pretty typical, actually. We can expect a streak of 100+ in August. Those streaks are getting longer, and happening earlier. This data is from August of last year.
For comparison year to date triple digit highs in previous years:
2018 - 31 to date | 52 total
2017 - 29 to date | 42 total
2016 - 17 to date | 24 total
2015 - 8 to date | 24 total (First 100 was July 27th that year)
2011 - 52 to date | 90 total - the record!
This year’s hottest temp: 103. Last year’s hottest: 110! In 2011, we had a streak of triple digit heat that began July 17th and didn’t end until August 12th! That’s 27 straight days of 100s!
We average about 14 100-degree days per year (period of record dating back to 1898), but more recently, that number has been much higher. The average over the last 30 years (1989-2018) is 27 days of triple digit heat. The most ever (90) happened in 2011. Last year, we had 52.

There are two official thermometers in Austin. One is at the airport on the south side of the city, the other is at Camp Mabry, about five miles north of downtown. It’s generally a few degrees hotter at the airport, and they’re saying it’s 100 right now. I won’t be going outside until the sun goes down.

And this is just the start of it. August really sucks around here. It’s pretty normal for it to be 80 on Halloween.

I had to run a quick errand a couple hours ago and my car said it was 105. Now it’s black so it lies in the summer but I very much regretted leaving the house in the middle of the day.

I dont miss the humidity of the east/southeast. Very spoiled by NM/high desert for 25 years

I used to live in Houston, and the humidity there is insane. You walk out the door and you feel like you walked into a wall.

We ll, that’s not the real temperature. It’s a glitch in the matrix. But we are definitely getting into the hot months of the year.

Ahh that’ s better... not by much. The weather channel showed my location as 999 degrees one winter evening :P

And here I was thinking the ~90 here today with like no humidity was hot (have no AC but swamp cooler keeping it about 80 indoors) . Downright pleasant in comparison!

huh? The NWS says it’s not even breaking 100. Am I missing something?
BTW if you want a really good cross checked weather readout in real- time, check out APRS.fi. These are weather stations that are linked via the amatuer radio frequency. I’m finding their data really handy .
Click on any “WX” station in blue and it will give you a quick read of actual conditions and if you click on “show weather charts” you get some good reliable history.
The nice thing is that there are many weather stations so if one station’s figures don’t feel right you can cross check them with others.

Official readings are from 96-100, depending on what part of town the thermometer is in. This was just a glitch in the matrix. Note the wind speed is North/0. Pretty sure the station is klangfarbened. Tanks for the link. I’ll check it out.
