the HEAT in Pittsburgh

David, a high of 98 with a heat index of 105 is predicted for today here (10 miles south of Philadelphia). Some thunderstorms are expected to roll through today and tomorrow it will *cool off* and only go up to 90.

My grass is looking forward to the storms!

Sorry, but the storms here haven't cut the heat any, just added some more humidity. Feels like there is no oxygen in the air. We've had the same heat index here. I don't go out much.

99 degree's here in Kentucky for our high. It was 85 degree's at 11 p.m. last night.

Heat index will be up to 110. There are heat warnings out from Cincinnati, Ohio down to Northern KY.
It's been HOT all last week and just getting worse.

UGH I hear ya..... in Lancaster it's a high of 97 and the humidity is unreal. It feels like ten pounds when you walk outside. I will stay in with my AC thank you very much

Yup, it was 105 degrees yesterday with the heat index. Too hot!!!

My window AC units are making little impact on the heat. Especially the ancient one I have in my bedroom (thank goodness for ceiling fans)

We are suppose to be 96 here in Knoxville today with a heat index of 103+. I hate humidity! I can handle dry heat better but of course when it's over 100 hot is just hot, wet or dry.

I'm about to head out to my Dad's where I know he will want me to do some stuff in his garden this afternoon. Wish me luck that I don't pass out from the heat.

Its been horrible in this part of Pa also... The other day the high was 107 and with the humidity it was 10 times worse!!! Today its already 93 and feeling like atleast 97 outside but im sure the heat will go up as the day goes on. My poor dogs cant even handle the heat and Gracie has been throwing up

The humidity makes it 100 times worse out!
