I was gonna start the yard work around 8pm but it might just have to wait a little longer. I finally stepped outside and it is one hot sonofagun out there.

Today's TW showed a high of 108 tomorrow for the Tulsa area; that's ridiculous

And you know what? At locations all over Tulsa, crews of latinos, a lot of them "illegals," will be roofing houses, throwing up drywall, framing houses, laying brick and stone, painting and doing yard work. Elsewhere around town they'll be laying asphalt, patching potholes, and running jackhammers. Down in Bixby they'll be cutting and hauling sod at the big sod farms. From sun-up to sundown. With 20 minutes for el luncho. And that, is precisely why we can't afford to lose them.

[r5TPsooner]

107 now. Yardwork canceled until further notice.

[sooneron]

Twas a beautiful 82 deg here today in the 07452.

I don't know any roofers here that work much past 1 PM when it's this hot. :D

[tommieharris91]

[sooneron]

20 degrees cooler here.

[King Crimson]

[Sooner24]

Ardmore paper this morning said we tied an all-time record yesterday of 109.

[Sooner24]

At 10:20 it is already 98!

Is Ardmore the center of Global Warming?

[bonkuba]

Are the girls still going wild?

Well, the RV is still there......not that I was looking or anything.:D

[sooneron]

Is Ardmore the center of Global Warming?

I'd blame the residual effects on the old tire plant.

[bonkuba]

I have doubled up on the gatorade, water, etc for the guys in the shop.....especially the truck shop and service truck guys.

It is a hot one!!

[StoopTroup]

Do you ever let them come in early before it gets too hot or are you running more than one shift?

[Animal Mother]

I wanted to hurt myself Saturday so I cut my lawn while it was 106 degrees on the far north side of Fort Worthless. When I finished I looked as if I had been running the dunk tank at the state fair. I wanted to charcoal some steaks for us afterwards. I just held them out the window for about 3 minutes per side and never had to leave the comfort from my Trane.My arm did receive first degree burns. Turned on the sprinkler system and nothing but steam came out of it!!!

[bonkuba]

Sorry Stoop....didn't realize you were pointing at me. We have frequent breaks on days like today (up in the showroom with A/C). So far so good.

[aurorasooner]

I was just looking at the temp & humidity in Oklahoma. Alva 109, Enid 108, Durant 107, Norman 105. The humidity looks a lot lower in August than I remember it when I was a kid, & more like the Colorado humidity than Oklahoma. Norman 23%, OKC 10%, Enid 18%, Lawton 16%. With that low of a humidity, it looks like an evaporative cooler or one of those combo evaporative cooler/air conditioning units would be much more energy efficient that an air conditioner alone. I remember a lot of 100/101 temps, but don't remember any over 105. http://www.wunderground.com/US/OK/

[birddog]

i've got a 1,000 foot tall sycamore in my front yard that doesn't allow a sinlge ray of sunshine to touch my front lawn. i worked on my motyorcycle for an hour and a half and didn't break a sweat in the shade. this was at 2 pm yesterday. it was actually pretty comfortable.

when i decided to go in the back and grab my trash cans, i was drenched in sweat after 30 secs. in the sun.

i haven't spent a summer in oklahoma in 9 years. i forgot what all the fuss was about. of course when i lived in portland and colorado springs prior to moving back here, i didn't have a/c in my house (it's pretty rare in those places).

you pretty much can't win in the summer, no matter where you live. :(

[Sooner24]

Just said it's 106 at 16:00.

[olevetonahill]

I just heard Thunder, its clouding up .
So I ran out and rolled My windows DOWN :D

[olevetonahill]

Puttin the windows DOWN worked

106 today and my A/C is broken. I think it just needs a fuse but damn.

[soonerbrat]

there's already a thread about this.

[BigRedJed]

Nope, that thread's about Ardmore. I'm in Hell.

[soonerbrat]

Nope, that thread's about Ardmore. I'm in Hell.

well i'm right down the street from you. and my AC is broken at home.

[BigRedJed]

Cue somebody to say Admore... ...Hell... ...same difference.

[soonerbrat]

I thought Ardmore WAS hell.

see, that would've been cleverer.
or something.

The only reason the relative humidity is so low is because the temperatures are so high. The dewpoints are in the 60s right now. That's humid. You're not going to get a heat index much greater than 105-110 around here. There is only so much sunlight available to heat things up. A higher dewpoint means a lower maximum air temperature and vice-versa.

[Frozen Sooner]

It's 58 degrees in Anchorage.

I went to go climb a mountain today but forgot to bring $5 for the parking lot. Dang it.

Well that was unfriendly.

Oklahoma = 30 degrees too warm in the summer

Alaska = 70 degrees too cold in the winter

Oklahoma > Alaska

That's some good math work there, Lou.

Same thing happened to me when I went to walk up our gentlely rolling hill but it was 99 and parking was only 4 dollars.

[BigRedJed]

Wait a minute. They charge $5 to park somewhere in Anchorage and people want to bitch about paying $5 to park in Bricktown?

[KC//CRIMSON]

95 degrees
53% humidity

yeah, it's nasty.

Chugach State Park>Bricktown

[BigRedJed]

I'm not disputing that.

I am saying that if an (I assume) expansive state park in the largest city (and one of the most isolated) in America from a geographical standpoint charges $5 to park, it probably isn't the worst thing in the world that people are asked to pay the same thing in the most urbanly dense, activity-intensive part of downtown OKC.

I'm also not comparing the urban density of Bricktown to really dense downtown areas, in major cities like Boston, Chicago, etc. But if I were, we would probably be talking about $20-$50 per day parking.

It's all relative, and Bricktown's a pretty good deal, overall.

Alright, let's get back on track with bitching and moaning about the weather.
