Re: [RC] 107 in Dallas

Title: ORourke1 Signature

Well, only the past couple of days could really classify as Arizona style "dry heat." Some of this time we had the humidity of Tropical Storm Lee added to the 100+ temperature, making it qualify for the "excessive heat warnings," which we have seldom seen until this year. Heat Advisories happen here all of the time after about Mid-May. David "Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine."--P. J.

In metro Phx it usually hits the first 100 degrees in early June and stays that way for July-August and into September. ALL days, except maybe 4 or 5 where it "only" gets to 98 or 99.   Folks there complain when they get X number of days above 110. Temps in the 115 range are not unusual in July & August. I remember, vividly, walking a dog at midnight one year and looking at a bank sign that showed the temperature. Midnight and it still was 100.   After a while that was enough. From than on, think the last was about 1992 or so, my Summers were in Flagstaff ( which is like Oregon ) or up in  Washington state, until finally relocating here in 1999.   Do you have a swimming pool ?  That helps.   Billy         message dated 9/13/2011 7:22:03 P.M.

That last one was a bit of a shocker, there. David -- "Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine."--P. J.
