Water temps in the 60s right now. But how long can you stay in the water for without turning into a prune with a sunburnt head? Then the walk back to the car will be miserable so what's the point in going in the water for relief? I'd rather lock myself in an air conditioned closet.

There's something we'll never/rarely get here. Dews under 60 with temps above 90.


Dews will be near 70°F with temps in the 90s Sat & Sun.

Vegas will be very hot today at 109, possibly hitting 110 for the first time this year. Dewpoint is still bone dry at 28. No sign whatsoever of the monsoon season.
FirebirdCamaro1220 pointed out to me in a DM that "Las Vegas has already hit 110°F twice, they hit 111°F on Saturday and 110°F on Sunday"

First, 77 is comfy enough to get an umbrella and sit in the shade and listen to some music without needing to go in the water, but ...

If you want to go in the water, if you apply correct sunscreen your head won't burn.

I guess the winter equivalence would be going to a hot spring, eventually you'll be pruned up and your head will be frozen. There's only so long you can last doing that. Still, it's very popular at ski resorts and even on the hottest days, you'll see plenty of people on Miami's beaches. Hot water and cold air or cool water and hot air, they mix well. Humans are great at maximizing the effects of evaporation.

Personally I'm like a lizard, the sun gives me energy but if I get too hot I jump in the water. Love socializing with others at the beach. Beer helps too.

Gross. I grew up there in the 80s/90s with no AC. Don't think I could do that nowadays though lol.

6-10 day outlooks are little more than throwing darts at the board while blind-folded.

They usually get the 6-10 day right, but it's the 11-15 day that isn't nearly as reliable.


Our local WGN Weather office shows two 100 degree days for O'Hare. Real blast furnace heat coming with heat indices reaching 114F.

More t-storms this afternoon; I got 0.76". My total rainfall since Friday evening is 3.79".

The next couple of days look drier with temps in the low 90's. Scattered t-storms returning this weekend and next week may be on the wet side.
