European Reacts to Comparing British and American Hot Weather 

Been 115⁰-125⁰ for weeks here in Arizona 🌵😊

Do not do not do not do not do not go to Texas in August. The high temperatures mixed with the humidity is literally not safe for someone who isn't used to it and it is even unsafe for people that are used to it sometimes. I live in the south and I go outside in the summer and it's like hitting a brick wall. Most things in life you get used to, the heat with the humidity is not one of them my friend. To be clear the temperature goes over 100° more often than you would think

I have lived in Texas most of my life. There's a meme going around about someone saying they're thinking about visiting Texas in August and "what's the weather like?" The response is "Have you ever been cremated?" That is legit the most accurate thing I have ever seen. No joke.

it's like i have told Europeans on Twitter/X, you don't have A/C because you choose to, we have A/C because we HAVE to.

Floridian here. The only reason it doesn't get quit as hit as the midwest US is because shielded by a layer of moisture in the air so thick, you can feel it as you walk and breathe. So, while it may keep up at 95 to 105 F, it feels like swimming through the sweat of everyone around you.

Actually Texas just got hit by a hurricane and more than 1,000,000 are without power. If an American tells you not to visit Texas in August trust them. They don't want you to be miserable on your visit. ❤

There's a reason we have a term in the states called death valley germans... Because most european tourists cant comprehend how hot it gets in places in america. A family of german tourists in the 90s dissapeared in desth valley and the husband, after driving their rental through some hard dirt roads attempted to hike to near by military base for help. The van and the family where found several weeks later. The husband wasnt found till a few years ago.

If Europeans are surprised by American weather. Keep in mind that most of the U.S.-Canada border is at a slightly lower latitude than Paris. Lisbon and D.C. are roughly on the same latitude. The remarkable thing is not how warm America is, but rather how Europe isn't a frozen hellscape 10 months of the year. Also, he mentioned America being beautiful. That's absolutely true for our nature. Most of our cities leave a lot to be desired. And a lot of areas through the rust belt and Appalachia are downright depressing. All Americans should have to visit Appalachia, but non-Americans probably shouldn't.

Heard someone say that what Brits consider a heatwave we Americans actively choose as our house temperature during the summers. And it's true. Europeans complain about 75 degree heat, in the south, people set their air conditioners to the mid-70s in order to stay cool. It's not unusual in the south to experience 70-80 degree weather in December/January. And in the summer--July/August especially, it's NORMAL for temperatures to soar into the 100s. But what makes that heat worse, is the humidity. If you want to know what it's like, Boil a pot of water. Soak a towel in it. Let it cool just until you can handle the towel without burning yourself (it still needs to be uncomfortably hot), wrap that towel around your head, covering your entire face. Try to breathe. This is what we live with for 3-4 months of the year. Every. Single. Day.

It's funny to Europeans that we're so obsessed with air conditioning, but I live in California and just last week in the city I live in a man died because his AC went out and he suffered a heat stroke in his own house. He was rushed to the hospital where he died due to complications from the heat. It's no joke that we literally NEED air conditioning to survive during the hottest months of the year.

Phoenix Arizona 1. 122 (26 Jun 1990) 2. 121 (28 Jul 1995) 3. 120 (25 Jun 1990) 4. 119 (25 Jul 2023) 119 (20 Jul 2023 and 2 other times) As of July 5, 2024, Phoenix, Arizona had recorded 83 days of 115°F or higher in the last 20 years, compared to 86 days recorded between 1895 and 2004. In 2023, Phoenix broke the record for the most 115°F days in a year, reaching 115°F 15 times.

Death Valley gets VERY hot, in early 90s in one of many trips through there, we were driving through it from Vegas to Bishop in the middle of July with a broken radiator, so no AC. The heat was excruciating and we only survived due to knowing that keeping our core temperature down was key. We stopped at every market/convenience store we came across to eat ice cream and other frozen food/drinks. AA batteries for handheld fans would overheat in seconds, which was the length of time before they'd stop working. The heat can reach 130-140 in some parts.

I like how the southwest isn’t mentioned much because 110+ degree weather for 50 straight days is average here. We’d have to venture into the 120’s to have it be considered a heat wave 😂

There's a saying in the Midwest "it's not the heat, it's the humidity" 100° and dry isn't so bad. But the humidity in the Midwest makes it feel like it's 120°+. Your sweat can't evaporate and it's very deadly. It's called wet bulb.

As others have mentioned, Texas during our summers consistently have 100+ degree Fahrenheit days. We recently broke a couple years ago or so the "100 days of 100 degree heat" record where I think we had 113 consecutive days of 100 degree heat. The thing mist people don't realize is even at 10 PM (20:00) it's still about 92 degrees fahrenheit on most days (33.33 degrees celsius) and at midnight it drops to "as low as" 86 fahrenheit (30 celsius) In August, it gets really funny, because it's basically the same weather + humidity + no clouds + non-stop. I remember when I participated in Tennis tournaments as a kid, one of my first tournaments in August, it was a bracket of 43 players (some people got defaults or by's to the next round) Due to my ranking I got a by the first round... Then my opponent in the 2nd round went home due to fear of heat stroke... The 3rd round opponent went to the hospital due to heat stroke after beating his opponent in a 2 hour match, which he was winning by won by default whrn his opponent started vomiting, then I was about to face my semi-finals opponent but the organisers felt bad for me sitting around for 5 hours, so I faced the 3rd round opponent from the other side of the bracket, he was a kid 2 years younger, I figuratively slapped him and won 6-1, 6-0. Then I was in the finals... Getting juiced up and!... It started to rain and the tournament was called off. By the by, have you ever felt rain when it's 103 degrees out? It's weird. And gross. Like a warm shower that's not meant to be warm

He forgot the heat wave of 1980. DFW Airport recorded over 60 consecutive days with highs over 100. The hottest day was 113. You get used to it.

Texan here. Do not come in August. The best months would be March and April where the highs are only around 77° F (25°C). That is also when the wildflowers, including blue bonnets (the state flower), are blooming.

Please don't fall into the trap of thinking that you can easily go from New York to Texas without flying there. It's 1,739 miles/2,799 kilometers between NYC and Austin via driving. Most Americans spend 2 hours driving to work and back every day. The country is massive. 47C is relatively common for at least one week in August in Texas. It usually sits around 42-43C. Be careful if you do decide to visit.

Texan here. Late August/early September is hottest time you can come. Last year we managed to have a 55 day long streak of temps exceeding 100° with the record being 79 in 2011. If you want "comfortable" temps you wanna visit from late March to May or in October.

I need you to understand that not only could we bake cookies in our cars, but our cars sometimes MELT

I think people forget that although 1 of the top 10 hottest places are in North Africa, 7 are in the Middle East, Iran, and in Pakistan, and 1 is in Mexico, the actual #1 hottest place on Earth, based on highest recorded temperature and a average temperature over 110 F, is not in the Sahara, in the tropics. In Nambia, or in Arabia. It’s in Southern California, 3 hours drive from LA, and an hour from Las Vegas.

Good morning! Texan here, reporting in. It's 7am and it's already 79f (26c) and 94% humidity. By 10am it'll hit 100f (38c).By 1pm it'll be about 103f (39c). Today is going to be a cool day. This time last year I was working on a crew building a utility scale solar farm. The temp topped out at 118f (48c) and 96% humidity. Yes, we kept working. No, it wasn't fun. Everyone on the crew was drinking about 400 fl oz (12l) of water a day and we were all still on the verge of dehydration. Having also lived in Alaska and endured the other end of the spectrum, I have nothing but respect for anyone who can endure extreme temps. That being said, I advise caution for anyone entering a new climate for the first time. It can, and will, kill you if you're unprepared.

On texas summers it is a sport to see who can cook an egg on the sidewalk the fastest

Dallas, TX here. We have fans set up for our livestock, just to help them out. Yes, lots of shade, tons of water options, including a pool that our chickens stand in to cool their legs, bigger pools for the bigger animals to get in, not just drink. Why? After you lose an animal because it's so hot & humid, you get a different perspective. 105°F is nothing to play with.

I checked the weather here in Phoenix Arizona the moment you asked if 100° is that common; it’s currently 101°F at 10am and it’s gonna be a high of 115°F later

People make fun of the US or are surprised that in some states there's air conditioning but the reality is in some places in California, Arizona, Las Vegas people die from the heat without it. And in older cities like Chicago where it doesn't get as hot it's still old buildings without AC and you have seniors who are living in them and it's dangerous for them. Here in Cali we have a heat wave now and they warn us about not walking dogs cause their feet will burn on the ground.

Arizona has a crazy record that you might not believe 1994: Highest temperature recorded in Arizona 128°F/53.3°F 2020: 145 consecutive days above 100°F/37.7°C 2023: 55 consecutive days above 110°F/43.3°C Some advice for you if you visit any state when its hot is to avoid touching things outside. Don't go for hikes but if you do the best time is around 5:00am up until 10:00am at the most and be careful for venomous animals and dangerous plants. Longsleeved thin clothes are very good. MOST IMPORTANT- drink a lot of water throughout the day and try to stay in the shade

The gulf of Mexico makes the high heat feel even worse. I was in Wyoming and South Dakota and it was 112°F, but it felt better that the high 80s in Kentucky a few days later. Humidity is no joke.

DO NOT go to the South in August. It can be very hot and hurricane season is usuallyJune thru November. You will likely book your reservations early to save money, and you do not want to be worrying about hurricanes during your vacation. There was a heat wave in Chicago in 1995 That peaked at 106 degrees, but with high humidity. More than 700 people died over a 5 day period. The concrete and asphault in major cities hols the heat so that it does not cool off at night.

Andre, we are not exaggerating when we say it's too hot in Texas in the summer. July and August are the hottest months of the year. Texas gets triple digit temperatures at that time of the year. I am from Texas and speak from experience. The first time you walk out into weather that hot it will suddenly feel like you can't breath as the hot air gets into your face and lungs. The roads and sidewalks are hot enough to melt the bottoms of a cheap pair of shoes. If you are foolish enough to go to Texas in the summer then at least make sure you always have a big cup of ice water with you. Always wear a hat and sun block while outside. It's very easy to overheat while outside walking around. When you travel to the US, go to the southern states in the early spring and autumn. Visit the northern states in the summer and early autumn. Winter in Florida.

On the High Plains in the US, we get flash floods, tornadoes, high heat and occasionally humidity. In winter, we get well below zero and that's without the wind chill. We had one day of -45 F in SW Nebraska. One year we had tens of thousands of cattle die because of flooding in the Texas Panhandle feedyards and tens of thousands of cattle dying in SW Kansas because of a heat event.

It hit 100 degrees in Pennsylvania last week while I was on a road trip with friends. Even at 80+mph with the windows down, the air was stifling. Our A/C was working overtime too.

Hello, Montanan here! Yes, you are correct that we get a lot of snow, but our climate is one of the most extreme in the world. We are currently experiencing a heat wave where temperatures will likely go above 100F for many parts of the state for the next few days, so we experience both very hot and very cold. Also, the greatest temperature change in 24 hours occurred in Loma, Montana on January 15, 1972. The temperature rose exactly 103 degrees, from -54 degrees Fahrenheit to 49 degrees. This is the world record for a 24-hour temperature change. Not only that, we also have the record for the biggest snowflake ever recorded, at 15 inches (38 centimeters) near Missoula, Montana in January of 1887!

what a lot of people don't realize is that most of the US is at lower latitudes then most of Europe. Maine is at the same latitude as Milan, Italy and Washington State is at the same latitude as France. Kansas the middlepoint of the US is the same latitude as Spain. Weather patterns are different of course due to a number of factors but something to consider.

Last year we were in the heat dome. A road exploded. A road literally got so hot it broke up and pieces went everywhere. A bunch of cows died and a nursing home had to be evacuated… and our air conditioning also broke! It was Not Fun, I was constantly using a spray bottle on myself. (I live in southeast missouri in the Bootheel if anyone is interested)

Want to also add that the upper Midwest, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota (which I live in the north western corner of) regularly hit 90+ F in summer months and then drop -30F in winter. I've personally been in temps reaching -45F before you factor windchill for a few days in a row and I work outside.

Most people don’t realize it, but Fahrenheit is based on the human ability to survive, if it drops below 0° people start freezing to death if it goes above 100 people start baking

A decade or so ago there was a heatwave in France and a bunch of people died. In the US when the news covered that, a lot of American's didn't believe it, thought it was fake because in quite a few places over here, temperatures get hotter than in that heatwave every summer. The people over there just didn't know how to cope with the heat properly since they'd never encountered it. Here are a few things that could save your life: 1. Drink water, avoid drinks with sugar, caffeine or alcohol. Those three things _dehydrate_ you. 2. If you have been sweating a lot, eat some slightly salty snacks. Your body uses salt to help regulate water in your body, but too much salt is bad too. So eating a small handful of something like chips (crisps) or something similar WITH a big glass of water can help give your body more of what it used up trying to cool you down with sweat. 3. If you've been out in the sun for many hours without drinking *_DO NO_* drink something super cold. Lowering your body temperature too quickly can be fatal. I would bet money that many of the deaths in France from their heatwave was from heatstroke, which can be caused by doing exactly that. Drinking something super cold while the body is overheated. You need to drink warm or room temperature water at first until you're core temperature has lowered. If you only *have* cold, you have to let it warm up a bit first, put it in the sun a while or something so that it rises in temperature. I know it sucks to let something cold warm up when you would rather drink it cold but, better a little less refreshed than _dead._

That's why we invented air conditioning.

Your resigned look as you went to go check the conversion is everything! 😆❤😂

As a Texan, I would not come here in August. I’d come in the spring, when it’s only in the 80s and the wildflowers are out.

The problem with Southern heat over Western heat (Arizona, Nevada, California...) is the humidity. Your body cools via evaporation of sweat but the higher the humidity, the slower the rate of evaporation. So a dry heat is more tolerable since your body can cool itself. In the humidity, you cannot cool yourself so your only option is to go slow. This is why the South moves more slowly than the rest of the country. You have to go slow or die. I live in Mississippi (very humid) but I lived in Texas for a little while (not as humid). There are hardly any trees because they cannot survive. If trees cannot survive, you will struggle as well. To add insult to injury, no trees = no shade so you get heat from exposure to direct sun in addition to the ambient temperature. Try to avoid the South in July and August if possible.

Minneasota here! This place is truly nuts. with peak snowfall occurring in 1996 with 46 inches in a single storm, and the lowest temperature in the same year at -60*f. We also have one of the wildest temperature ranges, with a single day back in 1970 giving one area a whopping 74 degree temperature swing, and a usual year between -25 and 105* You’d think all of our 11’000+ registered lakes would help stabilize our climate, but nope

So I am from Wisconsin, I actually live about an hours drive from where Lawrence lives (if he's still living in the Chicago area, and in the US, and I know it is different in the UK and Europe, an hour drive is considered a short trip, to the point that many Americans consider a 1 hour commute to work to be normal). For the Midwest, it is typical that we get 1-3 weeks of 90+ degree weather, typically around the June-July time frame, and 1-3 weeks of double-digit negatives, last year we had -17F degree weather for 2 weeks. Texas, by contrast, is worse in the heat department. I was sent there while I was in the military, and despite doing exercises at 0400, by 0430, you could actively see your sweat evaporating in billowing clouds, and this was in February, a "winter" month. Heat exhaustion was common, and 90 degree days where the norm. Going in August, while you still have the Summer heat, but now with hurricanes, is not advisable. Now everyone has different preferences, being a Midwesterner, you could lock me in a freezer and I would be chipper about getting out of the heat, but Texas is a whole other beast. Also if you visit Texas, New Orleans isn't too far away, and the Historic city center gives an interesting look at what happens when you put French criminals in a swamp.

Lived all over this country. You never get used to the heat/humidity along the gulf of mexico. You learn to endure but its never unnoticeable. Ive worked outside in temps around 105 in Florida with humidity sitting around 80% (the heat index or "what it feels like" was 122) If you arent accustomed to high temperature areas do not go in the middle of summer. Go early spring or mid fall. Get your bearings with cooler temps around 85-95 midday instead of pushing 100+ And most people here are correct, most southerners keep their home ac around 72-75. That feels cool and refreshing.

Maybe now you'll understand Ice Cubes in drinks. Drive through Iowa and Nebraska in the summer when there's no shade for hundreds of miles. You'll love it. It's a dry heat.

As someone who has lived in both New York and New Mexico, I would definitely say that while New Mexico is obviously hotter, with the hottest temp I ever experienced being 116, I actually have a harder time with summer in New York, because of the humidity. I think the best way to describe New York would be that we have a larger range of temperatures. In the winter, it can get very cold, and it snows A LOT, and the closer you get to the Great Lakes, the more snow you get. However, in the summer, it can get pretty hot, mid 80s is probably what a regular summer day looks like, but 90s weather is not unheard of. Although, like I said, the humidity makes it sooooo much worse. Now, this isn't even remotely comparable to the south, and I couldn't imagine living there with temps almost as high as New Mexico, and humidity worse than water. Also, I have been to Texas in August (although this was Lubbock, which isn't nearly as humid as east Texas), and it is not fun, if you want to visit Texas, do it in the spring or fall, I would recommend spring, however if you plan on spending a fair amount of time in New York, the fall is beautiful.

The best time to visit the USA is mid-to-late spring or mid-fall. It’s neither too hot nor too cold, plants are blooming, and there are festivals and farmers markets going on.

Spring and Fall are the best for hot areas of the US

The entire US gets really hot, the father north you go the fewer months of heat you get is the main difference.

I live in the U.S. the state of Connecticut which neighbors new york and i can assure you the northern states are not all cold. Last year for probably a month it was 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit every day. And this summer its been between 80-90 most days this whole month. Some states that border Canada can be more chilly but in general in the summer all the state can get fairly hot.

I did a summer forensics camp at the local college when I was 15 during the summer. One of the teachers that ran it was Greek and he invited a bunch of students from Greece to come and participate. There were 4 camps running at one time with a total of 45 kids all together. 30 of those kids were Greek. My forensics camp had I think 7 in total including me but all 4 camps would eat together and we went on a couple field trips as well for the hell of it. In southwest Louisiana in the month of June, it’s normal to have a range in the 80s-100s throughout the day with a humidity in the 90s%. So many of the Greek kids complained that it felt like they were breathing water and the staff had to make sure to keep sports drinks and water bottles well stocked. The other local kids and I would be wearing jeans and t-shirts while being maybe a bit sweaty while the other kids were wearing tank tops and shorts and on the verge of heat stroke if we walked between buildings through the outside.

117F is common high in the summer in the deserts here in the US, I live in New Mexico, a desert as well. That's why every house and store is equipped with blasting AC and it's common to give ice water and allow people to just stand in businesses to cool down. It saves lives.

I live in South Louisiana... if it's not over 100*F, then it's not summer yet... plus we have 98% humidity year round... if you're not from here, don't visit until late Autumn or Winter and get out by early Spring... also, more people die from heat than from cold in the U.S. and many states require A/C in vehicles as law... and not having A/C for elderly in a home is considered 'elder abuse'....

Oh, goody! You're watching Laurence! I love this guy's channel. I'm in central Oklahoma, and yeah. 40C+ is VERY common in the summer. Our record in this state is 120F/49C. It gets HOT in the southern half of the US. Like, weeks at a time of daytime temps between 40-45C starting as early as late June and lasting through September. In 2011, my state had 63 days of temps at or above 100F. Today's high is 39C, with heat index well over 40. And that's just normal. We all just stay indoors in the air conditioning from mid-July through mid-September. August is the absolute WORST month to visit the southern US. Especially a state like Texas. Try April. It's warm enough for shorts, but tornado season hasn't fully gotten into swing yet.

That 117 degree temperature in East St.Louis should have a note on it. E.St.L. sits in the river valley where the air stagnates and gets moist from the Mississippi River running right next door, and the valley covered in crops. It ain’t no picnic during a normal summer………

I was a Military Policeman in the US Army in Germany from 1982-1985. the summer of 84 was REALLY hot for Germany, it was over 95 degrees for almost 2 weeks. Elderly Germans were dropping dead all over, they have NO air conditioning anywhere.

Andre, you looked puzzled at that newspaper headline. The "Twin Cities" are Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. The Mississippi river runs more or less between them. You don't realize when you leave one and enter the other unless you see a road sign. Minneapolis is slightly larger. St. Paul has the State Capitol.

For the past 2-3 weeks, it's been over 100° in Alabama and only just cooled down, getting below 100° yesterday. I had forgotten a make-up pallet on my dashboard and it's so warped now, every single individual lil eyeshadow pallets are poppin out and it will never lay flat again. I wish I could post a pic of how warped it is due to how hot is was 😶🥵☠️

Just watched your mind be blown over and over. Definitely made me giggle! Lol great video 😊

In Oklahoma, we use a heat index that measures humidity and heat to give a "feels like" temperature. So sometimes it's 109 but feels like 118. For weeks.

I'm from North-Central Florida and we've had temperatures of around 92-98°F over the last few weeks straight with like 72%-85% humidity, and its not even the hottest part of the season yet 😅 It's a kind of heat you never really get used to; you kind of just accept you'll be miserable and take measures to make sure you're safe Edit: For context, the humidity over here has caused the development of a "Feels-Like" measurement. If its 97°F and 78% humidity, it might have a "Feels-Like" of about 105°F NEVER underestimate the humidty and Heat of the US

I live in the Midwest, and it’s pretty much an every year thing where we get a few days in July/aug where the highs are over 100*F (38*C). And just a few months later, there’s a week usually in early feb where the high is -10*F (-23*C). And when it’s that cold, the wind is an even bigger problem cuz it makes it feel colder. Last time I believe the real-feel outside was -25*F (-32*C). But we all know how to deal with it, you stay your ass inside and keep a fire going in the winter. And in the summer, you also try to stay inside with air conditioning, but if that’s not a thing, you stay inside move as little as possible, have all the fans going, and drink ice cold drinks or eat ice cream…usually the temps in the summer drop at night enough to comfortably sleep but not always.

Andre, dont forget about the heat index. Just recently it was 89°F/31.6°C here in East Tennessee (southeastern USA, not as south as Louisiana/Texas/Alabama) but the real feel (i.e what it feels like) was 108°F/42°C. High humidity is what made it feel so miserable. Don't go in the summer. If you want to enjoy your vacation, don't go. Wait for spring or fall. Please know that people who are not used to high temperatures or high humidity get sick faster and don't even realize it until it's too late. Heat exhaustion will kill.

120 °F in Las Vegas twice this week. Over 115 °F for the last 9 days Death Valley was 130 ° F for the last 2 days

They’ve already said any state/city late September and October OR April and May. A motorcyclist traveling through Death Valley in California and Nevada, died a couple of weeks ago. The heat here is no joke. When you add humidity over 50%, it’s pure misery and often fatal.

A common phrase in Florida is "it's not the heat that will get you, it's the humidity.". Just the other day, it was a normal 95f/37c, but because of the humidity, the weather app also tells you what the weather "feels like" and it was 107f/41.6c. That is just a normal summer day here, and is like that at least 6 months of the year. I wouldn't recommend coming to any US state that is California, Texas, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, or the whole Southeast quadrant from North Carolina South unless it is around March or October. It will bee 95f/37c++ more days than not. For the Northeastern states like New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, I would not recommend going in October-February. It gets below freezing (32f/0)c in the height of winter very often.

As someone from Oregon, I went to Texas in August once. It was like 90 degrees, which is "not too bad." On paper. But the HUMIDITY made that temperature absolutely unbearable. Being outside was deadly. We returned to Portland in the middle of a 102-degree heat wave, and a Portland 102 felt COOL AND REFESHING after Texas 90. This year already, we had almost a week of 100+ highs back to back in Yakima Washington. Texas is worse. If 40C with low humidity is exotic to you, Texas in August will be literally dangerous.

Native New Yorker here, and still here, NYC summers are awful. It is very hot but also very very humid. When you step outside it feels like you’re stepping into everyone’s collective sweat and grime of the city. NYC used to experience real winter, I remember snow piled 7 feet high along the gutter and sidewalks as I went to school. Now we’re lucky if it sticks to the ground for more than an hour and not immediately melt. Currently we have been having temps between 85-95 for weeks now. There is no relief here other than going indoors into air conditioning. This is a concrete jungle, there is no escape under trees, no lakes, or rivers to dunk into. Almost every beach within the city is overcrowded and nasty, especially after a heavy rainstorm. DO NOT COME IN THE SUMMER. Best time is probably the fall/Autumn.

the whole time he was freaking out about 100 degrees I was just thinking to myself, *Phoenix Arizona stands up and says "Hold my beer" 😅*

I wouldn't bother with Texas in August, unless you're from a really hot place. Our heat can be dangerous for people who aren't acclimated to it.

In 2023, the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) area had 55 days that reached 100°F, which is fourth all-time for the area. The first 100°F day of the year was on average around June 25, and the last was around August 26. The area also had a 21-day stretch from July 24 to August 13 that was tied for sixth all-time for the most consecutive days over 100°F.

40 C is 104 F. That is a pretty routine summertime termperature for portions of the deep south, and very frequently for the deserts and grasslands of the American Southwest, including portions of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and California. 50 C is 122 F and that occurs once in a while in Death Valley National Park, the Las Vegas, Nevada area, and Phoenix, Arizona.

It's 102F today here in Salem, Oregon.

As a Texas native, August is the most miserable time to come visit us. Up here in North Central Texas you are likely to get temperatures well over 40° c as your high. South Texas won't get quite that high but the humidity will be extreme and well if anything be even more miserable. West Texas would just bake you. Come visit us around October or November when the summer heat has broken and you're likely to get something other than hot dry and miserable

Texan here, don't visit midsummer. Last year and the year before, the corn literally burned on the stalk. My spinach literally boiled in the fields. I mean the leaves turned dark and spongy as if they had been boiled for about 4 miniutes. In 2022 we had 2 months where the weather didn't dip below 105. It wad drier than usual so while the greenery didn't like it, it wasn't as bad as you'd think because we weren't soaking in our sweat as much as usual in the normally crazy central texas humidity. We get freezes in the winter two and the most extreme weather I've been through had three 50+° temperature swings in one day, it was a tornado day though, that's how tonadoes form, hot weather below, cold above, they toilet bowl as they switch positions and you get twisters tearing through the place. Skip summer unless you're from a hot country. Texas is truly incredibly beautiful in the spring and fall though after the first rains of each, this is my little slice of heaven that I love to show of for the rest of the season. Texas renfest in particular is a wonderful time.

45C at my place in Las Vegas. " What do you do when its that hot?" is a typical question. STAY INSIDE. We also had snow the first week of April and the snow in the mountains didn't start melting until June. We should be back to our normal temps of 38-40 this weekend with thunderstorms...

I grew up in Michigan but lived in California for about a year. Anyway, I travelled from California to Texas, passing through Arizona during the summertime. The air conditioner in my car was broken and I had my puppy in the back seat. I made a stop at a gas station. I was worried my pup or myself was going to get a heat stroke or pass out or something. It was that hot. I was literally getting dizzy while on the freeway and was trying to find a gas station asap. And rolling down the windows didn’t even help. It just felt like a heater blowing in your face. Thankfully, the gas station had air conditioning. I carried my pup in with me (he couldn’t walk on the pavement of course since it would’ve burned his paws) and I ended up getting a bag of ice. I dumped it in my pup’s kennel and kept a little ice for myself to keep us cool. That helped a lot. I also made frequent stops at gas stations so we could cool down in the air conditioned place. I will never forget that heat. That was the hottest temperature I’ve ever experienced in my life, and I know there are places that get hotter than that.

As a north dakotan people still talk about 1936. Our state went from -51°C to 49°C in five months. People would sleep by sloughs cuz it was a little cooler by the waters but because of the mosquitoes people had massive histamine reactions along with dehydration and heat stroke. Hundreds of north dakotas died. We are better at dealing with the cold. We can get a polar vortex the has flash frozen foxes and skunks along the side of roads, frozen mid step.

It was 110-117F last Tuesday thru Thursday south of Dallas in Texas, and the humidity here is often like wearing a wet scuba suit. Love your channel, and when you come to USA think about visiting Arizona. From south to north in Arizona it goes from dry, hot, hot desert to sub-zero with lots of snow and ice depending on time of year. Plus there's the Grand Canyon, Montezuma' Castle, Sedona, the Biosphere, and so much more -- and great Mexican food.

As someone who was born in August and lived in Texas my whole life, DO NOT visit Texas in August. The temperature is regularly over 100 degrees and the humidity in the central, coastal, and eastern areas can make it feel like it’s over 110 degrees, while the western areas are dryer but have higher temps. And overnight can stay in the 80s. The end of November is when we usually get our first cold snap dropping temps to 60s or 70s.

New York City traps heat in summer and winter, not much snow. New York City is known for its urban heat island effect, which causes it to trap heat and be warmer than surrounding areas. This is due to several factors: 1. Heat Generation: NYC's buildings, boilers, and vehicles generate a significant amount of heat. 2. Heat Absorption: The city's manufactured surfaces, like roofs and roads, absorb and retain heat. 3. Lack of Vegetation: NYC has less vegetation than other areas, which can help cool down temperatures. Additionally, the city's tall buildings can block wind and trap heat, further contributing to the urban heat island effect. This can lead to health problems like heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and increased air pollution. New York sucks

Wisconsin is pretty crazy, in winter with wind chill it can get below -20 degrees Fahrenheit (What it feels like) while in summer it can break 105 degrees. The records are -35 degrees with wind and 114 degrees.

One of thejj craziest things is, we get the triple didget heats EVERYWHERE in the USA. Not just the south (its just more normal there). I live in Wisconsin and its normal for us to get an annual heat wave that gets us triple digits. In the Winter though, it can be the Arctic with -20 or lower temps. These temp changes do major damage to roads and infrastructure due to the expansion and contracting.

He's not lying about the summer temps. Death Valley got it's name specifically for being one of if not THE hottest place on the planet.

Being acclimated has a lot to do with what you can tolerate. I used to spent days and months in 100+F temperatures on patrol as a deputy sheriff wearing body armor. On any number of occasions, I had to be out on the ground for an hour or more working. Before that, I was a firefighter, and of course many brush fires happened in 100F weather. And that's wearing heavy protective clothing. I did okay then. I'm much older now and would not try it again. But i still can do light work and things like mowing with a tractor, though it is very wearing. But I grew up in high heat and humidity. Likely you would not enjoy it. One problem is that much of the south and east of Texas also has high humidity, greatly increasing the "feels like" heat index. While much of West Texas is dry. In the Big Bend region, it gets as hot as in Austin, but the humidity is very low. Dessert conditions. So if you step into the shade it feels instantly cooler. But people get in trouble because they don't know they are sweating away a lot of water, far more than at home. In the Big Bend, it evaporates too quickly to be aware of it. If they don't force themselves to drink constantly, they may well end up with a serious heat injury. And those who travel only to the coastal beeches do alright, since they're wearing few clothes, and there's an almost constant breeze off the water. Save the visit for spring or fall, like October. But Texas weather is notoriously variable. Hot one day and freezing rain the next. Forecasts more than a few days out cannot be believed. You take you chances and come ready for anything. Remember what Civil War General Phil Sheridan said. "If I owned Hell and Texas, I'd live in Hell and rent out Texas."

I've learned a hack for converting temperatures from imperial to metric and back. Begin at the point water freezes (0°C = 32°F). For every +/-5°C = +/-9°F. So 5°C will equal 41°F, then 10°C will equal 50°F. 15 = 59, 20 = 68, 25 = 77, etc. All temperatures in between I estimate. This is a quick shorthand temp conversion without needing a calculator or other app. Hope it helps.

As an American, I love your react videos, they give me an interesting perspective on things. When you eventually visit the USA, you should visit the Appalachian mountains at some point!( I’m from West Virginia) The scenery is absolutely amazing to experience and the weather doesn’t get too extreme in either direction. Everyone here is very friendly and wave at you as you pass. We also have a lot of European descendants in this area, so we have quite a unique blended culture here( Especially Irish and Italian).

I live in Phoenix, which averages more than 100 days of 100F+ weather each year. But the humidity is very low, usually between 7-25%. It's currently 114F with 10% humidity.

Here in Missouri recently we had temperatures reach 94-98 degrees with a heat index of 110-114 degrees, which means the air temp can be 97 but when you add 80% humidity to the mix the feels like temp is 108 plus, the humidity makes things worse it's like being in a sauna

When I was in the Military, I was stationed in Arizona for a couple years... we were doing an training excise. One group was in Tuscon the Other in Phoenix.... in July I was in Tuscon, it was 105 Degrees there... The crew in Phoenix was dealing with 120 degree whether. Now even with it be "dry" heat... 105 degrees or more is still hot. Oh, "dry" just means low Humidity, and this does have effect as you can deal with higher temps easier as it is easier to cool off.

It was 107 F (41.6C) today. It regularly going between 95 F (35C) to 112 F (44.4C) back and forth from June - August. Our winters also suck, they go between 15F (-9.4C) to -10F (-23.3C) on its extremes. There is a reason AC is so common in USA.

It's not only the heat but the humidity and "dewpoint" (The temperature it would have to be for the water in the air to start condensing and forming droplets) with these high temperatures. When the dewpoints start reaching in the 70+ F range, you can sweat, but it doesn't evaporate and you don't cool down so without air conditioning, these heat waves can result in many deaths due to the bodies overheating. I've been in 110 F with low humidity and dewpoint and would take that over some 98 degree days I've seen in the east and southeast where NOTHING will cool you off. It literally feels like you're in a sauna of steam when you walk out the door.

I'm from Texas, Summer is around 9 months long. The heat is oppressive. We all learn to move from shade to shade. We move slowly in the shade, and quickly in the sun. I've experienced 100'F on Christmas Day! I have fried an egg on a car's hood, without fire. In the summer, you never have to worry about a killer hiding in the backseat of your car. When you leave the house you are soaking wet with sweat as soon as you open the door and step out. I would run to the car, and start the air-conditioner and then run back into the house and wait 5 minutes.

So there's this thing called a heat index. It's basically mother nature trying to boil your lungs with humidity. Because in the south, it says the temp is 100F, but the heat index might be 110F or more because of the moisture in the air. So if you want to go to Texas during the hottest time of year, be my guest, but you'll feel like you're being boiled alive every time you leave the air conditioning. My recommendation is to visit during the spring storm season. You won't be roasted alive, but you might enjoy the thunderstorms. Just remember, if you hear sirens take shelter because tornados 🌪

Arizona here. When I was 15 in the 70s, the record high in June was 117F, now 120F is very common. I blame to much concrete, asphalt and glass due to overpopulation. But at least it's a dry heat.

I think April for Texas. The Beasley's went in April and said they were fine.

In southern California, for all my life, every summer is typically between 80-90 F (26-32 C). Even the morning before the sun comes up can be high 70s, and night will hold the 80 degrees for a while

Honestly, if you’re planning on going to Texas at any point between June to August, it will be hot, humid, and miserable. If you’re closer to the gulf (like Houston area), you gotta be wary of hurricanes during that time as well. They’re terrifying. Many areas of Texas have local laws that consider A/C failures during the summer to be considered an emergency. Having a working cooling system is essential for survival.

My father was in the USAF, and we were stationed in northern Germany for 3 years. At 10 years old, we came back to the US (to NE Arkansas) in June. Going from the Eiffel mountains, then walking outside the airport in Memphis, I felt like someone had hit me on the head with a hammer. I think it was in the low 80s when we left Frankfort, and about 105 when we arrived in Memphis.
