I hope you have a generator and at least one window A/C just in case you lose power. What a horrible weekend for oppressive weather to arrive.
How are you people in the Northeastern quarter of the country dealing with the heat and humidity more common to the Southeastern quarter?

Dealing just fine thanks but yes, it’s damn hot out there. Celebrated the heat this evening with the first Bread and Butter sweet corn of the season and it was delicious. Corn on the cob, Smith’s Hotdogs burst open on the grill, fresh cut coleslaw.
Oh, and it has been pretty easy riding out the heat watching the World Cup.

And Wimbledon--no reason to leave the house/AC until Saturday unless you really want to.
Give me a Heat Index over a Wind Chill any day!
Heh. Here in Hotlanta, max temp was "only" about 95 degrees today. I saw on the news this evening that the temperature in Lititz, PA, was 103 degrees. Stuart Varney noted that it was already 93 degrees in New York at 11 AM. I'll take the "hot" weather in the summer for warmth with the early Springs and late Autumns. And very mild winters.
Phillies Vs Pirates on at 12:30 today as well. Lots of solid sports viewing.
Tee off at 730… Stella in hand by first pitch!!
Had our home HVAC systems serviced last week, including a refrigerant line re-insulated. They’re performing well and I’m minimizing any need to go outside for a few days. I’m just very grateful to be in a position in life to remain this comfortable during this ridiculous heat wave.
2pm sounds like the worst time of day to walk in this heat lol
Not that bad. I plan on working outside for a few hours tomorrow. If I never post again you'll know it didn't go well ..............
It's brutal. Have one window AC and going to buy another tomorrow.
Older people, like myself really don't deal well with either extreme. Turned 78 this past May and the weather has been more oppressive this year. I remember the unbelievable Heat and humidity in Vietnam in 1968 and dealt with it, but I was only 20 years old.
Not good! Apparently watching steam trains go by is still a big attraction. I was at New Ringold, near Tamaqua, for the passing of the Big Boy and the place was packed. Tamaqua was much fuller as there was a stop there. It was very hot and lots of older people, like me, were out to watch. Of course, the train was 20 minutes late and people started having heat related problems.
More than 100 treated for heat-related emergencies at event in Berks County
I think it was worth it.

Thank you for your service! Happy July 4th! Stay cool.
I would have been more worried about the bullets and the rockets.
Trust me we all were. Sadly, my best friend in my unit didn't make it back and I still carry my scars.
Here in new Orleans. Always hot and humid in the summer. 30 years ago i would be playing softball, golfing or running in 90+ degrees.
Now, try to stay in side until 4:30 or so before going outside. Will cut the back yard this evening, then jump in the pool. Only 3 1/2 months until cooler weather.

I keep hearing about this train and can't comprehend the interest in it--although I'm sure countless people don't understand why I've been watching Wimbledon and the World Cup all week
But in the heat that's crazy--stay cool
I think of the afternoon I spent in 0 degree weather at Beaver Stadium watching PSU hockey vs. Michigan State.
I prefer this of the two extremes.

Saw Big Boy this morning up in Gladwyne. Luckily it had not heated up too much yet. Then left there and played a little tennis - the heat was pretty cranked up at that point.
Wondering about the impact on tomorrow's World Cup match in Philly.
Lived there until my freshman year in High School (product of divorced parents) and when I had choice moved to PA due to the hot\humid weather and never ending insect problems (roaches and nasty zzz biting flies) in Louisiana. Miss the people and "laissez les bons temps rouler" lifestyle but love the weather\seasons up NorthHere in new Orleans.

Next heatwave for Pa. Lining up for next week. Low 90s for three days sandwiched by high 80s.
Send us more rain.

Just relocated to Raleigh from upstate NY. Dealing with it pretty much the way we dealt with the frigid cold ... staying inside! Very easy to get dehydrated so I'm having to make a conscious effort to drink cold water. One thing that a godsend in our new apartment, which we didn't see in upstate, are ceiling fans in every room. I'm a big proponent of that now.
It came through here Wednesday after 2pm. I left work for an appointment and there were people camped out at various spots along 22 at 10:30 am. It was a little cooler than it had been the last few days, when I came back through around 1 there was plenty of stupid going on though.People were standing in the middle of route 22 trying to get to the tracks, kids running back and fourth across the highway and kids playing all over the railroad tracks. If it had been Saturday I probably would have taken the time to go see it, I heard the whistle from my place when it went through though. It created havoc with traffic afterwards, took almost an hour to drive 5 miles to town after it rolled through
