Southern Mississippi here as well and the heat here is a heavy dry heat that just makes the air feel like a weight on your shoulders and chest. If it's 97 degrees outside you better believe the feel like temperature is at least 110 to 112 degrees.
South Mississippi here too, Biloxi. In summer I try to go outside as little as possible. The first year I moved here from England I almost had a heat stroke.
and probably the humidity about 105 & under the sun about 112! It’s like that here in southern Virginia also and all last week has been 101 and that doesn’t count the heat index or standing directly in the sun because you gotta add another 10 or 15° for that. It’s been absolutely miserable and I keep my AC set at 73 and it’s still 78 & since I don’t want my electric bill to blow up, I will keep my AC at 74 overnight and as it gets hotter during the day I just cut it up anyway to 77° because I know my electric bill is going to be astronomical if I don’t. They went up this year compared to last year and my June electric bill last year was $155 and that was a cool June because we had so much rain and this year has been totally dry
@@jonadabtheunsightly While San Francisco along the coast doesn't get hot, Sacramento not too far away in the big valley does get hot, but without any doubt whatsoever, Death Valley which is below sea level is the hottest place on Earth. Furthermore the higher the elevation usually results in cooler temperatures. Another reason why Death Valley is called Death Valley...
We average about 30 days over 100 degrees in the Central Valley of CA. We’ve had 26 days over 100 so far up to July 22. If you drive about 90 minutes west of here toward San Francisco, it’s a whole other world on the other side of the coastal range. Bring a sweater in the summer to SF.

Don't underestimate the humidity factor. You start hearing about 100+ temps and think that 80+ isn't so bad, but if you go anywhere with really high humidity and even a little heat, you are probably going to suffer. I live in the north of the US by the Great Lakes. My summers usually average somewhere in the 80-90⁰ F area. However, I locally have wetlands, a swamp, and a river. It is very, very humid in my area. There are days where the air is so thick you can't breathe properly. Or you walk out side for 5-10 minutes and your shirt is just soaked through with sweat and moisture. I once travelled to Arizona, when it was about 20⁰ warmer than my home, and almost didn't even notice the heat, comparatively. That in itself is very dangerous. Dry heat like Arizona can sap so much water from your body without you noticing (at least in my experience. I went with a large group and loads of people had dehydration issues because they didn't keep up on their water intake).
When I first moved from Wisconsin to Colorado, I could comfortably wear a sweater or hoodie when the thermometer read 28°C. The dry heat of Colorado is much more bearable than the high humidity in the Great Lakes region and "The South". Not to mention that there are always more mosquitoes and such in areas of higher humidity...
@@andreamaronn4510 That's exactly true! I live in Florida... And it gets unbelievably hot here. Today. It's 9 7 but the humidity is also probably 97 percent... You go outside and just smacks you in the face. Whereas if you go out to New Mexico and Arizona, yeah it's definitely going to be hot. But it's a different feel and you don't feel as hot as you would if it were the same temperature here in Florida... Of course, the humidity I think saves you because it smacks you and tells you it's too hot. Whereas if you don't have the humidity, you're not realizing how hot it is until you're baked
Humidity is what does me in. We had a bit of rain here in our dry land today and I swear that the temperature felt like it went up by at least 10 degrees. ugh. I grew up in the south and Midwest so I'm not unfamiliar with humidity but I sure do not miss it.
@@flamingpieherman9822 LOL! I actually live in Tampa now. Coming here from Colorado was like breathing underwater! My parents retired here so I moved to be closer to them. I'm planning on moving north again at some point. Maybe Minneapolis or Chicago area. I miss the change of seasons. 🙂
Don't underestimate the dry heat either. The wind is hot like opening an oven door but that's not the bad part. Because you're not swimming in air soup you don't often realize how dehydrated you are getting. I grew up on the gulf coast and thought humid heat was absolutely miserable, but since moving somewhere with dry heat I have accidently had heat stoke a few times.
I live in the West Valley of Phoenix ... 118F/48C degrees ... 15% humidity, VERY hot and dry ... like a blast furnace! We haven't had any measurable rainfall in well over a month -- we only get about 7 inches / 18 cm of rain a year.
I live in eastern WA state. Our area gets a whopping 8.1 inches of rain per year on average. A bit cooler though. I miss western WA. I'd prefer the drizzle of Seattle (37.5 inches per year!) which is more than is typically received in the Midwest town that I grew up in. That town gets around 45 inches per year. But higher rainfall comes with higher humidity and that is a miserable situation in and of itself.
@@SsloanJohnson Having lived in both Houston and San Antonio, Houston feels way worse even though San Antonio is hotter. San Antonio is quite humid but not even close to Houston level humidity except in late June when San Antonio can occasionally get to Kolkata or Bangkok levels of humid.
Andre, DO NOT come to Texas June, July, August, or September! May is in the lower 90’s, which for us is not bad! You and your wife would be miserable carrying your baby around in that kind of heat! In Dallas it’s 95 degrees at 10:00 at night!😮
I'm from Phoenix. It's not 105 through the summer. It's 112+. Over 115 for weeks at a time. The record high is 122. And don't listen to people who say dumb things like "but it's a dry heat." Your oven is a dry heat. It still cooks your food. Also, we have some rain storms that bring lots of humidity along with the heat. Just an idea of how hot it can be, I've been in rain storms where my head and shoulders were being rained on, but no rain was hitting the ground. The rain evaporated in mid air before it could hit the ground.
well the "dry heat" part, means sweat / evaporation might help you cool. Some. Around the edges. It's better than hot, hazy, and humid! But I do agree, There Are Limits. A dry 120 will still quite literally bake your brain.
Yeah when the heat is that high, it don't matter on humidity. If the wind blows, youre in a convection oven. I live in Florida and the few days a year where it's really hot and dry (we get wildfires during the winter), it feels like I'm cooking 😂
People always seem to forget that there's about a month and a half of monsoon humidity. 108 with 85% humidity is great fun. /sarcasim. Even when it's a dry heat, when it's 121 outside and your metal jewelry is starting to sting from heating up and tripping and falling on the ground is a burn risk....
Here is a trick to being able to intuit the Fahrenheit scale: 0 = unbearably cold. You can die. 100 = unbearably hot. You can die. This just happens to be a _human_ scale. (though only coincidentally) More specifically: At 32, water freezes, but it is still bearable. 40 is the refrigerator, which is uncomfortably cold. ~50 is very cool. ~60 is cool. ~70 is comfortable. ~80 is hot. ~90 is uncomfortably hot.
In the 1960s Kopperl, Texas had an incident called Satan’s Storm. There was a sudden heated downburst from a dissipating storm, and it reportedly hit 140 F (60 C) - at least, that’s where the thermometers broke.
It's cooled off today but it's been 90-100 all but one day over the last month with the humidity over 70% almost every day. The heat index is what you really want to look at. Panama city Florida. For refrence 90 at 70% is 105f or 40.5c 90 and 80% is 114f - 45.5c 95 at 70% is 122f - 50c 95 at 80% is 134f - 56.6c 100 at 70% is 143f - 61.6c Yes, humidity is a killer.
I'm from Yuma, Arizona which is usually considered even by Arizonans as the hottest place so I think it's funny that he says Tucson & Phoenix instead....I've seen it get anywhere between 120-130°F at the hottest during the summer but at least 'it's a dry heat'....its been well over 110°F for weeks now during the day & 90°F during the night....it gets alot cooler than 80°F during the winter....you get acclimated to it plus we learn to go outside early in the morning or late at night plus we have air conditioning....yes cus its harder for babies & young children to regulate their body temperatures like adults....I'm glad you understand now why we keep trying to say not to come here during the summer months lol....yes definitely do the coldest cities as well
Phoenician here, and I agree with you 100%. I don't think that the guy who did the original video really does much real research on these videos. I could see all 3 AZ cities being in the top 10, but Yuma and Gila Bend should be ahead of Phoenix and Tucson.
You have to add the Heat Index to the 106 in Georgia. At 40% humidity and a temp of 106 the feels like temp is 124 degrees. And Georgia gets a lot higher then only 40% humidity.
Yep, I grew up in Phoenix, but lived in Atlanta for 2 1/2 years. I'd rather deal with the 115 in PHX with low humidity, than 95 in Atlanta with 50% humidity.
I live in the northern states but we are smack dab in the middle of high and low temperature winds. We have 85 to 92 degrees with 100% humidity. The highest temp was a week straight of 109 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus I used to work in a foundry which the temp was always 145 degrees in the building. You would walk and hear your shoes squish from all the sweat dripping down your legs and back.
@georgemetz7277 my son and his family live in Austin TX.. We live in Phoenix suburbs.. It's 107 right now, a ND it's a pretty nice day, it's been 115 recently.. BUT Austin is SO humid.. the kids can't even play in back porch because it's All wet and humid.
@@criseist9786 Speaking of TV shows. Remember when they sent Peter Griffin to Tucson AZ to make him stupid again? That town is literally that, the dumbest town in the US.
10. I live in central North Carolina and the high today was 93. At 6:54 p.m., we are sitting at 88 degrees with a real feel of 95. We generally have a few days a year that reach 100 or more. There’s a joke here that all the weather folks only have to say Forecast A or Forecast B-one of them is hot and humid with a chance of thunderstorms and the other is just hot and humid. We know that the temperature will be in the 90s for pretty much all of July and August. June sneaks a few days in the 90s too. In September, we hang out in the 80s with a few teaser days of 70s. October brings acceptable temperatures to actually step outside without immediately being drenched in sweat.
10 and this was a 10/10 too. I live in California and we have had at least 7 days in a row of over 100 ( I lost track). Today's high is supposed to be only 100, it is quite bearable. Actually, I love it. We don't get that 'bog you down' humidity. Only problem is there are a lot of wildfires. We don't have a pool but we fill the spa with cold water, it's perfect.
I agree. I grew up in New Mexico and I loved the 100 degree days because it was dry heat. Then I lived in Virginia for ten years and dealt with a HUMID 95 degrees. Y’all can keep that 😂
I was pregnant and living in Houston, Texas in 1980, when they had 32 days of OVER 100° F temperatures. There were other years that they had the HIGHEST temperatures (109°), but 1980 was the MOST. You DON'T want to be pregnant in Houston during the summer! I now live in Land O Lakes, Florida, and we've had several days in the upper 90s this year. Even with the AC running 24/7, it's just too hot to DO ANYTHING - other than sitting here in the AC with a cold Coke, watching your videos! Love you!❤❤❤
I was 10 when we moved to Houston in 1980. It was awful and only matched by 2011 here in Oklahoma where we had 63 days of 100+ degrees. I was pregnant with both of my daughters during the summers of 2003 in Dallas and 2009 here in Oklahoma and it was miserable. I was pregnant with my son here in Oklahoma over the winter. It was so much better. 😂 Needless to say I’m a big fan of winter. ❄️
I did my graduate work in Houston. Sweating is a pointless activity. It it too humid to evaporate. There is a uniform forecast for 3 months -- high's in the upper 90's F and chance of afternoon thundershowers. The best description of Houston climate that I ever read: "July 4 was not the time of year for anyone to be introduced to Houston, Texas, although just what the right time would be was hard to say. For eight months Houston was an unbelievably torrid effluvial sump... Then for two months the most amazing winds came sweeping down from Canada... and the humid torpor turned into a wet chill. The remaining two months were the moderate ones, although not exactly what you would call spring." -Tom Wolfe "The Right Stuff" Houston has the most stunning AC. In July, I remember taking off sweaters to leave the lab and having my glasses fog up as soon as I hit the outside air. My theory was that if you averaged over the inside and outside, the temperature is 76F, LOL.
me too! We lived in Lake Jackson just south of Houston. We were there '79 - '81 and I was also pregnant during the misery of it all. Were you there during the hurricane? I can't remember which year, maybe '81. We had to have a boat to rescue us from our home. I won't be moving back to Texas gulf coast -- ever.
Also in Sacramento, and it's 102 where I am (must be nearer to the river than you). So much cooler than the past few weeks that it feels like the beginning of Fall! But it was supposed to be in the 90s this week -- only halfway through July and I'm already fed up with the heat. Oh, yea, it doesn't rain here all Summer, so no relief there (we're in a desert). Also, it really doesn't cool down that much in the Fall. 90 in September does not feel anything like 90 in May. The Earth holds onto that heat well into October.
Yay, I'm not the only one in Sacramento! It does get oppressively hot. I don't know if you felt the 116°F a couple of years ago, but it was just a bit overkill
I am from Southern California, 110 was normal in summer, then I moved 3 hours away to Las Vegas NV...120 for several months was not unusual on my patio. The humidity really was about 2-6% though, it is dry heat. We called it the concrete jungle, so much concrete and asphalt, the city couldn't cool off, even at 4am :)
California has a wide range of terrain and temperatures. When I lived in southern California, about 15 miles from the border and the coast, 5 miles could equate to a 10 degree temperature difference. The cool part was that weather predictions were pretty accurate. It is a very complicated formula with a multitude of microclimates, but once it was discovered, most weather predictions held true.
Lived in Houston back in the 90’s and before we left Tx took a trip to Galveston. It was in September and so hot plus humid that even just going from air conditioned store to air conditioned store was horrible. We gave up after about two hours and went back home
The hottest temperature I have personally experienced is 123F (50.6C) in Death Valley, CA. As brutally hot as that is, I preferred that desert heat to 95F with 95%+ humidity.
It's been crazy hot and humid here in Maine (northeastern US). For near three weeks it's been in the 90s with very high humidity. A couple days we hit 97F (36C) and the feel like temp with the high humidity was 104F (40C). With air that thick and heavy it might as well have been 115. We just had a line of thunderstorms come through this afternoon bringing in a cold front so we will get a few days of somewhat more comfortable temps before the humidity is supposed to return. And here in Maine a lot of the houses are older since this was an area of the country which was on the earlier end of European settlement here in the US. Older houses tend not to have built in AC. So many of us just have a window unit AC unit in one or two rooms. The rest of the house remains an oven basically. Pretty much the whole country has been roasting this summer.
Death Valley California's temperature got stuck on 667˚ on Saturday. It was only 125˚ there for nine days. Don't plan on going to Death Valley in the summer.
I second that. My folks took us through there in August one year and opening the door to the car was like opening the door to a oven. Dry yes, but above 120 F it doesn't make all that much difference.
Just answering your questions and providing some personal insight… The south east states are bad in summer bc they’re so humid, so you just feel like you’re walking through a sauna. California actually has every type of climate - desert, snowy mountain, temperate rainforests, tropical beaches, and cold rainy beaches. And lots in between, it’s a magical place. I drove through Texas with a group of other kids in July in the early 90’s, it was miserable, unbearable. We ‘slept’ in the van at rest stops and the windows would be covered with huge insects in the morning. We didn’t really sleep bc it was too hot, we just sweated and tried not to die. We drove from Northern California to Florida mostly along Route 66, and everywhere was hot, Arizona is like a frying pan, but Texas stands out in my memory as being the most uncomfortable. I learned a great recipe there though for something called ‘Texas Trainwreck’ that became a household favourite. I was in Tucson in 1990 for that record 119 temp! It was pretty crazy but we mostly just stayed in the hotel which was nice and cool. We ran from doors to cars that some sucker had to go out and start first to run the ac for 20 min. We dared each other to go out in the sun to see who could last the longest. We got burnt after only a few minutes. But Arizona is the most beautiful state, imo. It has the most incredible geological history and wildlife.
Currently 67F and partly cloudy in northeastern Minnesota. It'll be in the upper 70's to the mid 80's over the next few weeks. It doesn't usually get to warm up here, the highest temp that I can recall seeing here was 103F but that's not normal. Minnesota is better known for its cold temperatures during the winter when -30F is not uncommon and I have seen it drop to -60F.
I live in Southwest Missouri, we've averaged between 90 and 98 for about the last month, and we're not even into the heart of summer yet..... The highest temp recorded here was 118 degrees. We can also get down to below zero degrees in the winter.. so. We get the worst of both worlds.. Oh, and our humidity sucks too. 😢
I'm in South Louisiana... the AVERAGE temp in the summer is 98 F... but it's not uncommon for temps to be above 100 F for a few MONTHS... I've seen it get to 112 F before... and when I lived in TX, I've seen it get to 118 in the shade... and that's not including the moisture in the air, which is what really hurts most people... in South Louisiana it sits around 95-98% humidity... year round...
98% humidity if measured at 3AM. 95% humidity at 98F would be a dew point of 96F when the highest dew point ever recorded in the US was 91 in a part of Florida. 95% humidity at 98F would be a heat index of 170F when the highest heat index ever reported in the US was 148F. Saudi Arabia once registered a heat index of 178F though. Dew point is what people should use for reporting humidity since it's an absolute humidity scale and not temperature dependent like relative humidity is and doesn't lead to people saying things like well it's only 40% humidity so not bad when it's 105 degrees and 40% humidity is a stifling dew point of 76F where your face just gets sticky after five minutes outside.
my temp in South Louisiana was 102*F today with 99% humidity... and that was WHILE it was raining... also, Shreveport is in NORHT Louisiana... it's cool compared to the rest of the State... we had 10 of the top 15 high temps in Baton Rouge last year... most of them in the same week.... and again, you have to remember the high humidity at 98-99% daily.... 104 °F August 01, 2023 103 °F August 11, 2023 105 °F August 19, 2023 105 °F August 20, 2023 103 °F August 22, 2023 105 °F August 23, 2023 106 °F August 24, 2023 103 °F August 25, 2023 105 °F August 26, 2023 106 °F August 27, 2023 the record for Baton Rouge, LA is 110 °F August 19, 1909
It was 101°F yesterday here in Pennsylvania. Today it was in the 90s, but humid from storms. It's supposed to drop down to the low to mid-80s tomorrow and stay there for a little while, which will be a big relief.
I grew up in Tucson. We would pretty much be outside "as usual" until it got to about 105F (40C). At that point, we would head indoors. The hottest temperature I've ever been out in was 121F (49C) in Blythe, CA.
Central California, just had a day at 114f, but low humidity. Which does help a lot, look up wet bulb temps if you want to understand why places in the south can have a lower temperature but be ranked as more dangerous for heat.
It's up around 116F in Phoenix this week, down from highs of 118F (48C) the last couple of weeks. The heat radiates off the asphalt and concrete like you're in an oven. Summer is also a time for sandstorms and rare cloudburst rains, with large pelting raindrops (because only the big drops make it all the way to the ground; the little drops evaporate). Every year, mid-July, there's a couple weeks where it's like 92-93F / 34C at dawn (the low temperature). It's very hot, but outside of June-August (the hell months), the weather is generally good. Every 22 years when we get the triple La Nina, it's particularly miserable, as the 100F days can extend into November.
10 The highest temp here in Yuma, Arizona was 128 degrees F in 1995 and I was working in the desert near the weather station for our testing. This summer, we have already had temperatures of 117 degrees! We welcome any temperatures below 110 F during the summer!!!! I have what is called central heat and air conditioning for my house. It is one unit that sits outside the house with ducting that goes from it to each room of the house. A thermostat is mounted on a wall in the house that connects to the unit. We use this thermostat to set the temperature for what we want to feel comfortable. We select "COOL" for the air conditioning in the summer, and "HEAT" for the heater in the summer. We just select which one we want, then select what temperature we want for the inside of our home. A built in thermometer inside the thermostat measures the temperature inside the house, so when the temperature you have selected reaches that temperature, the large unit outside will turn off and stop the air flow. The built in thermometer inside the thermostat will register the temperature inside your house so when the temperature gets 2 degrees above the temperature you selected, then the air conditioning will automatically turn on. But if you have "HEAT' selected, then the heater will turn on when the temperature inside the house drops 2 degrees below the temperature you have selected. So whether summer or winter, I can select and keep a comfortable temperature inside my house without me having to turn anything off and on. Right now, our overnight low temperatures stay in the mid to upper 80s F. Our hottest temps are still to come. But, I keep my air conditioning (COOL) temperature set at 76 F, so I stay comfortable no matter what the temperature is outside.
hello, my friend!! I usually don't comment, but I wanted to let you know that our air conditioner is on the fritz, and it's been 37.1 C/98.8 F IN MY APARTMENT for weeks now. It's awful. Outside has been pretty much constantly "feels like" temps up to 110 F/40 C - ish. When you add the humidity, it's like living in a wet, hot washcloth. Hard to function that way!! Wish I could share a screenshot of our local weather channel I took the other day of it being 81 F/25.5 C "feels like" 91 F/30.5 C, and 90% humidity. This was at 5:26 AM, before the sun even came up. 😳 Anyway, sending love from your friend in Baton Rouge, Louisiana!! 💙💙 P.S. Gator is pretty good food!! 😂
*if my F-C conversion is wrong, blame the online chart I was using. And, Andre', as much as I'd love for you to come visit Louisiana, do NOT before late October, probably, and pay attention online to make sure it's safe then.
When our air conditioner died in July 2016 (we live in Topeka, Kansas), it was two weeks before someone could come to install a new one. The first week the temperature was below average (around 85-90), but the second week it was 95-100. I slept in the downstairs (guest) bedroom the whole 2nd week with the ceiling fan on high, because upstairs the thermostat read 95! The caulking around the bathtub in the upstairs bathroom actually peeled away from the wall!
These temps seem awfully low. I’ve been in Phoenix when it was 122 and 118. When I lived in Las Vegas it routinely hit over 110 and now that I live in South Texas it’s hits over 100 all summer long.
He's wrong about the winter temperatures in Arizona. It's hot in the summer in Phoenix and Tucson but the late fall ,winter and early spring are moderate. Temps in Phoenix are much cooler than Florida temperatures at this time. It can snow in Tucson in the winter as it is a little higher in elevation than Phoenix. Tucson sits right below the Santa Catalina Mountain range which has skiiing in the winter. As you leave Phoenix starts rising and it gets cooler the farther north you to Flagstaff Arizona which as a climate like Wisconsin Arizona has large Mountains.
yeah, I used to live in Tucson for 12yrs...winters are not 85 lol Winters are actually pretty nice. At night it can get downright cold! His description of New Mexico (Roswell) being ugly and Tucson are off as well. He clearly doesn't like the desert. Prob some douchebag from Oregon
I live in Pennsylvania, and last week i checked the Temperature. It was 96° but because of the Humidity and Dew Point and all that the "Feels Like" temperature was 106° 5:06 And yes, i was doing training in California (Mojave Desert) and it was 115° in the morning.
I live in Portland Oregon and it's been getting very hot. The hottest temperature ever recorded in Portland, Oregon, was 116°F (46.7°C) on June 28, 2021.
It sucks that 95 is like our normal summer daytime high these days. You could easily get by without AC when I moved here. I think it would be miserable now.
I've lived in Las Vegas for nearly 24 years. This year has been the hottest I've experienced. All of June we had a month-long heat wave where it was as hot as July. July's average temperature is normally 105°F/41°C. The June heatwave extended into July. July's temperatures have been 113°- 115°F/45°-46° every day so far. Sunday the 7th we hit an all-time record high of 120°F/49°C. We have almost 3 more months of summer 😓to go. Summer in Vegas usually doesn't end until early to mid-October. Every house, business, church, school, car has A/C. Without it, there'd be no Las Vegas. Hot hot hot. Hot as a firecracker! During our 120°F day, Death Valley, California hit 130°F. At least one person died from the heat that day. 😢
I'm in Denver, Colorado and this weekend it was around 102F (39C) though my balcony which faces west registered 118F (48C) at the hottest part of the day due the direct sunlight. The nice thing is the humidity tends to be very low, like 15-20% so it almost makes it tolerable. 😂 I'm originally from Austin and it wasn't unusual for it to occasionally hit 115F in July/august and is far more humid (and Houston is even MORE humid). So if Texas is somewhere you want to go, August is masochistic.
It’s 80 at the mall I work at and all the heavier set ladies are complaining and talking about lawyers and OSHA 😂😂 I wanna tell them to “relax it ain’t that hot” but I’ll get in trouble
The record high here in Portland is 47°c/117°f from 2022. Usually it doesn't get to 110°f/43°c all year, but we'll sometimes break above 100°f/37°c a few times, more recently. Mostly summers have highs in the 80s and 90s f/30s c with nights in the 60s and 70s f/20s c. Record cold here is -13°f/-25°c, but we rarely get below 15°f/-9°c. Snow only happens every few years, but we always get rain and ice.
@@oldfogey4679 I used to live on the Gulf Coast. Nearly any US coastal area has higher humidity than here. Even wetter Western Oregon doesn't have high humidity, it's very temperate. But most of Oregon is high desert sage steppe, with next to no humidity. Portland gets heat domes, but not humidity particularly, except after rains.
Consistently 100+ weather out here these past few weeks and for days to come, summer is very brutal (but we get used to it), plus the humidity from cloud coverage and with how hot it is can spark up some intense thunderstorms, especially with how they can build up pretty suddenly too.
Southern VA, 95-102 off and on for the past three weeks, it's raining right now so we're getting a little break. When I walk outside, it's like an oven.
I'm in Phoenix. The high temperature is frequently 116 or even more in Phoenix during the summer. When you hear about "average temperature," they're telling you the average of daytime highs and nighttime lows. And temperatures are taken IN THE SHADE. In the sun, it feels much hotter. Four months out of the year, the daily high temperature is over 100. If you have cheap shoes, don't wear them outside. My mom's shoes melted all over her feet. In the summer, hotel fees fall - but for those of us who live here, our rents and mortgage payments remain the same and our electric bills skyrocket. And the reason so many die every year here is that they are either homeless or poor - and the shade won't be enough to save them.
There is a measurement of heat that the U.S. uses called Heat index. Basically humidity can make your body feel hotter than the air turpitude. In my area of Minnesota we got to 95F last week with a humidity of 80%. So it felt like it was 130F. It is why many say "it's not the heat but the humidity."
I live in Arizona where we’ve had temperatures of 110-118°F for weeks. It’s a joke that he says that Phoenix is around 105°F in the summer! Our summers are typically between 110° and 120°F.
I live in Phoenix. I'm watching this video at 7:30pm and it is still about 104 right now. Our weather forecast for the next week or so shows it will be over 110 most days. You should definitely come and visit us, just not in the summer. The rest of the year is beautiful!
here in new york, it wasn't extremely hot. but the humidity was near a 100percent. which caused a wide path of storms and funnel clouds spotted. damage to rome was extensive, as well as smaller towns on lake ontario.
Iowa is the same...tornados and derachos(high straight line wind for long period) the a couple days ago we had 100+ winds for about an hour straight...a few years ago we saw a major one with 130+ for even longer
@@raymondglueck9442 Yup there sure was a derecho for parts of Iowa a few days ago and in 2020. Left damage for over 400 miles. (I'm a weather enthusiast)
I was born and raised in Shreveport Louisiana the number 9 spot on the list. We have had close to 40 straight days of 100 plus temperatures about 15 years ago. It may say its 95 or more but when you factor in the humidity it makes the heat index 115 on a regular basis here. Heat index means the feels like temperature which if it feels like it it is it . If you are in it you want disagree.
I was driving through great basin National Park with my dad a month ago and the temp was 100 degrees ambient. The humidity is virtually zero though and it wasn't unbearable. It felt like a hair dryer blowing in your face. Florida feels like the exhaust from your clothes dryer, or a bathroom after a hot shower.
How hot is it around here? I live in Nevada a couple of hours from DeathValley CA. (300Feet below sea level) Last Tuesday the temperature there was 128F. The news that evening covered a tragedy, 6 German tourists were traveling through DeathValley on HarleyDavidson motorcycles and got into some trouble. A good Samaritan had to take them from BadwaterBasin to FurnaceCreek for help from the Park Rangers and staff. (Helicopters cannot fly at over 120F because the air is too thin) four did not need to go to the hospital. (The wind in your face from a motorcycle keeping you cool only works until 95-99F, after that it is a blow drier in your face that just keeps getting hotter.) One person died from heatstroke, (likely) the last one was taken by the Inyo County (CA) fire&rescue (the nearest ambulance was from a small town 30 minutes away from FurnaceCreek) to the nearest Emergency Hospital, located in NyeCounty NV, just over the CA state line and about 1400Feet above sea level. (Only 117F that day, so helicopters could fly) He was stabilized there in NyeCounty and was flown by military helicopter brought from Nellis AirForceBase (outside LasVegas) 2 hours drive from NyeCounty, but less by helicopter, to a hospital in LasVegas (also 117F), Clark County NV for more specialized treatment. Last I heard an update (3-4days ago) he was still in the Vegas hospital, but he may have been released but not reported in the media. So to save that one tourist, it was 5 different agencies, in 3 counties, in 2 states. When you visit the Southern and Western US, do it from November to March, and check the weather regularly. Your sweat glands will thank you.
I live in southern New Mexico, one of the sunniest parts of the world. The heat gets annoying during the summer but it’s manageable as long as you stay out of the sun. We would all die without A/C though.
Tucson is really great especially in the winter and spring. It reaches the 70s in the winter and becomes very comfortable. The plants all flower in the spring and the desert erupts with color. That being said, in the summer, the 109 degree heat I experienced was something else.
I agree. I grew up in the foothills of Tucson and miss it very much. Such a chill vibe. The video commentary about Tucson being weird was nuts. He obviously didn’t travel much of the city.
Notice our Portuguese content creator was using his smart phone comparison temperature app... His knowledge reflects in Celsius where as Americans reflect in Fahrenheit... Hot is hot somewhere on the Earth, and cold is cold somewhere on the Earth as well...
Today's temperature is about 43° higher this weekend. Phoenix Arizona. And keep away from me with that dry heat crap! I've lived where there's A LOT of humidity. Hot is hot.
Today here in Southeast Michigan its a gorgeous 80°F or 26°C ....the last few days here we were in the high 88-89°F and so extremely humid so it felt like it was 93°F-95°F. #10
I live in Las Vegas. It was 120* F at the airport last Sunday. It's cooled off to 111*F today. A/C is as much of a necessity to survive here as heaters are in Alaska. I always get a light colored car inside and out as temps in a closed up hot car in the sun can reach 160 and even higher on a dark colored dash board. I know people who have died of heat stroke. 😢 Heat is as dangerous or more so than the cold.
I buy a white vehicle with a moon roof to open when I start it to allow all of the HOT air to rise out of the vehicle as quickly as possible... Opening the door windows isn't as effective...
I was born and live in Phoenix. Those who love the no snow, tolerate the heat well. Too many come here during our nice weather unprepared for the summer. This is home for me. Many move from here after a couple of summers. Wimps! The summer death rate sounds bad until you realize it's mostly the addicted homeless population that succomb. Other than that, don't go hiking at 3pm or go out without access to shade and water and you'll likely be ok. Learn a little about heat related illness. 10
Andre, northern Arizona, where the Grand Canyon is, is much cooler than Phoenix and Tucson. If you want to go in the summer, the Grand Canyon, then head to Utah for the Big 5 national Parks.
Central California. Actually having a cool spell, only 97°F (36°c) today but a week ago it was topping out around 118°F (48°c). You do acclimate to the heat but I wouldn't go without A/C. While we typically have dry heat compared to the southern US, this area still runs around 40% humidity on average and it was over 75% last week. If you want to visit the US in August (as I understand, that's the typical month Europeans take vacation) I'd pick states in the north...and be prepared to wear a lot of bug spray. But hey, extreme weather can make for fun content too, just keep hydrated and wear sunscreen.
Hey, there are plenty of wonderful parts of the USA to see in June, July, and August. They're just more in Minnesota, New Hampshire, Maine, Colorado, Montana, etc. But from earlier videos I know parts of Texas are a definite priority for you, and that's fine, just, takes more planning.
I was in Phoenix when it was 125 during the day. It was 112 degrees at 10 at night! Air conditioning is a must but your car is always hot. It was so hot that some planes could not take off at the airport and motorcycles were falling over because the kickstand was melting into the asphalt. It was 115 in Fresno, California last week where I live. Now it was a cool 100 today.
If you want to avoid hot weather in the summer in the US, come to San Francisco. We get a lot of fog then, so it stays very cool. A typical sight in the summer in SF is tourists still dressed in shorts and T-shirts after a nice, sunny day, shivering when it’s 65° and windy, with the afternoon fog coming in. 😄 In 1968, my family drove across the country, taking the highways closest to Mexico. We drove through the Imperial Valley, in California (the southeastern part of California is desert). It was unbelievably hot while we were driving through the sand dunes, and by the time we got to the town of El Centro in the late afternoon, the temperature had dropped *down* to 115°! The temperature stayed at about 115° F all the way across Arizona, and only slightly lowers than that across New Mexico. And our car didn’t even have air-conditioning! But the most uncomfortable I felt was when we got to Houston, Texas. It was only 80° when we arrived, but it was very humid. Being from California, I was not used to humid weather, and I felt as if I were suffocating.
#10!! North East Washington State here, it's 96F / 35.6C today. Fortunately the humidity is only around 16%. August is our hottest month. Loved the video!
10 - Andre, just as a comparison, even the northern USA gets warm weather. In Michigan which is usually quite cool has already had 6 days over 90F/ 32C in 2024, and can get 75 to 90 days that are over 85F/ 29C combined with 75% Humidity in a regular summer. The all time record was set on July 13, 1936 with 112F/ 44C.
Coastal South Carolina - The high today is only 94, with 91% humidity. We're having a bit of a cooler front this week, with lots of cooling rain. Of course, it also might make it more swampy afterwards. To understand heat index, 94 degrees with a 91% relative humidity, the heat index is over 140 degrees. This is bc your internal cooling system does not operate properly in high humidity.
I'm in New Mexico. I live in the mountains, but it's still in the 90's & 100's F (30's C) for most of summer. And yes, I've experienced temperatures over 110 F. I used to live in Wisconsin which was nearly as hot, but with added humidity, whew!
I'm from Florida. Need I say more? Everyday after April 1st it's going to be at least 90 but mostly 96 - 100... Today it's 97. I am not sure how Florida didn't even make the list? Maybe it's because we have the coastal sea breeze and the Ocean sea breeze? But I will tell you just because you have dry heat does not mean That wet heat is better... Phoenix is hot and dry and they don't even have a lot of greenery! To me even if it's hot The Greenery can make everything still look beautiful.... At least we have humidity here which is horrible but it lets you know. Hey, it's hot outside whereas in phoenix it may be hot but you don't feel it till you're just about dead from heat stroke
If you want to see the Grand Canyon, I recommend coming in late fall/winter/early spring....HOWEVER you need to be careful, because some areas might be closed due to it being the slow season/ too much snow. If you don't care about crowds, I would say come in October. Warm in the middle of the day, but at least it'll be chilly at night.
I’m from the Shenandoah Valley area in Virginia it’s only noon here, it’s 78 degrees but feels like 81 with humidity. It’s cooler than normal because 1. Heat reaches its peak when the sun is at its highest so 2-3 in the afternoon, 2. We’re actually having a storm outbreak in the area, it’s supposed to rain off and on this entire week, so the temperature is sitting between 63-86 degrees all week(at least if the weather reports are right) On the 4th of July and basically the entire week before and after it we were having a heatwave, on the 4th the temperature reached 103 not counting humidity which probably put the temperature up to 106-109 degrees. The night time temps only got down to the high 70s doing the heatwave and that was if you were lucky because most nighttime temperatures were above 80. I personally think Virginia isn’t to bad in terms of heat and humidity compared to some of the states farther south, but the heatwaves can be a killer. The average Summer temp in Virginia is between the high 70s and mid 90s not counting humidity. The heat is no joke, two Summers ago one of my neighbors was doing yard work in the heat and collapsed from what turned out to be heat stroke, thank god my grandma had seen it happen and called 911 or the woman could’ve laid unconscious out in the sun and died that day. Just last year I got Sun poisoning while swimming in my pool. My skin burned so badly I got blisters, it hurt to move. I ran a fever of about 101 for like a week after I got burned. I also had a severe headache that no pain medication could put a dent in. For 2 days I had to stay in bed because when I stood up I felt like I was gonna pass out I was so dizzy and any amount of movement faster than a slow walk made me feel like I was going to vomit. Sun poisoning is actually awful. If you ever come to the US in the Summer my advise is drink a lot of water and please for the love of god wear sunscreen.
I live in Houston Texas, and it’s absurdly hot in the summer. It’s been above 95 since June. It’s the humidity that makes it so uncomfortable. It increases the “feels like” temp by 10-15 degrees. So while it may only be 95-100 degrees most days with the 75% humidity it will feel like 110-115. The hottest day I ever experienced was in summer of 2022 when the feels like temp got to 121, and the actual temp was like 112. I have a friend who lives in Las Vegas who regularly deals with 110 degree weather and he said our 90 degree weather felt worse to him. And I agree, 100 degree weather in the desert has never been as uncomfortable for me. Plus the temps really drop in the desert once the sun goes down. Not so much in humid places.
I live in the Milwaukee metro area in Wisconsin. Right now the weather here is 70F which Yahoo Weather says is 22C. Yahoo says the high today was 79F (27C) and the low for tonight is 60F (16C). It hasn't been as hot this month as usual but I was watching the weather earlier and in June we had several days in the 90's. It's going to be in the low 80's later this week though. Chicago weather is about the same as ours but a little warmer. If you're going to come to the US in August, I'd stick to the Northern and upper Midwestern states. Otherwise I'd wait until October for the Southern ones. Edit: I'd be interested in the top 10 coldest cities. I know Milwaukee won't be on it but I've heard Wisconsin is in the top 10 coldest states.
10 Houston, Austin, San Antonio,Dallas, Corpus Christi etc…… Do not come to Texas for a vacation in AUGUST!!!!! Outdoor activities are brutal 😢 if you’re not used to it. So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😎🍸✌️
I'm in North Carolina near the Virginia border in mount Airy. The temperature has been in the upper 90's for the last several days. I'm retired so I don't go outside!
Idaho's Capital City (Boise) has record temperatures of 98-111 F (37-44 C) since 1911. 98-99 is rare. 100+ is the "normal" yearly record. The yearly record has been 101-110 since 1983. The forcast for Boise is 100-108 for the next week . It has been a "warm" July there. The coldest Boise has gotten is -28 F (-33 C), back in 1930.
Today was 97F = 36.1C in San Antonio, Texas. This has been not too rough a summer here, but last year on this date it was 104F = 40C and in 2022 it was 102F = 38.9C. Also leaving the number 10. If you ever come to San Antonio / Austin October and November are the two best months. Temperatures are in the 80s in October and 70s-80s in November and the summer humidity is mostly gone.
I live in Tucson Arizona. Its 84 degrees at 7:30 this morning, beautiful. We will be around 110 degrees today with storms rolling in this afternoon so be high. This is our monsoon season. We joke about our weather and claim two seasons Hot and Hotter. that pretty much sums it up. We live in tripple digits all summer with high hunidity, fierce storms, flash floods and power outages. Its home and I love it here. If you get a chance do come visit, just not in summer. We will start to cool off some years around Halloween but nice by Thanksgiving which we usually have family dinners outside.If you do come just bring just bring a sweater, no need for a coat, I dont even own one. This is a great place to live. As an added attraction we are a border town so just a few mikes down the road you can go shopping in Mexico. Think about it.
10! I try to watch until the end if I can! Also, I would love to watch you watch the video about the coldest cities. As for me, I am in the Worcester, Massachusetts area and today we had a high of 81°. Yesterday was 84°. It really wasn't that bad! We've had a few days over 90° so far, but it's not really a big deal. We are far more likely to get very cold and miserable winters here instead. Summers are actually very nice!
I lived in Tucson, AZ for 20 years and it can get a lot colder in winter than 85 degrees. Typically January is in the 50s or 60s with warm days in the 70s or even 80s. It can (rarely) snow in Tucson, and the Catalina Mountains are visible from Tucson. Mt. Lemmon is roughly 10,000 feet in elevation, and there is a ski resort up there, and all this is roughly 25 miles from Tucson. Summer Haven, the village atop Mt. Lemmon is typically about 20 degrees cooler than Tucson. I think in general, the picture of Tucson presented here is somewhat distorted.
Richmond, Virginia here. Yesterday it got to 103° at my house. With the humidity it felt like 111°. Being trapped between the Atlantic Ocean and the Appalachian Mountains sucks sometimes. It creates a pretty condenced humidity pocket in the area and during a heatwave it just makes it brutal.. Add in Sahara dust coming in across the Atlantic Ocean and Smoke from Canadian Wildfires it makes it hard to breath as well. Fortunately we had a decent cold front come through lastnight with storms and today its much more comfortable and in the 80's with lower humidity. More rain tonight. We need it too.. We've been pretty dry this summer so far, plus the recent heatwave, my outdoor plants and trees have been cooking.
In RI we can have a couple weeks in the 90s. It's southern NE - we have four distinct seasons, but they can be mild aside from the peak parts of each season. July can be hot and February can be cold.
Tucson is actually lovely and the low humidity really does make the heat more bearable. I grew up in New Orleans and live in Houston now. It’s not as hot as Tucson but it’s far more miserable to be outside because the humidity is so high (and the mosquitos are legion).
Oregon here. depending on which side of the mountains you are on, you get different weather, but even in Portland, which is in the valley and on 2 rivers, the temps hit triple digits for at least one week in the summer. That reliability is a fairly recent development though (last couple decades) On the other side of the mountains (the part of the state that is a desert and where I lived for a good chunk of my life) triple digits in the summer has always been a routine, if uncomfortable, occurrence. We didn't even have AC at the time, so it was pretty much just water, staying inside, and pretending the fans were helping.
Colorado in the summer months the weather is dry heat and the thermometer reaches from 60's thru the 80's and from Rocky Ford to La Junta it reaches about 104 and in the winter months in the cities and the mountain area it varies from -15 to 40 degrees . I might move to the mountains which is green and lots of aspen trees , spruce , waterfalls , streams and is so relaxing . The mountains are so beautiful and if so that's where I want to be and enjoy .
Once many years ago I had to go to Vegas in the middle of July on a business trip. It was so hot. The night before we were leaving I finally had time to do some touristy stuff. It was 100 F at 11 pm, since it was dark it wasn't as terrible as it had been when we had walked from the Palazzo to the Wynn for dinner. Whenever I needed to cool off I'd go into one of the resorts. I will say one thing 100 F without humidity felt much better than 95 with 80% humidity that I'm used to in NY. Yesterday (Tuesday) it was 98 F with about 70% humidity until thunderstorms rolled through and the temperature dropped a little but the humidity went up.
In Oklahoma, so far, we've had a comparatively mild summer. This week, we will be consistently below the 90°s. But you must remember, André... in the US we have 2 kinds of outdoor temps. The temperature AND the "feels-like" temp. The "feels-like" is what the temperature/humidity index is. 95° with a high humidity can feel like over 100°.
I live just south of Ft Worth, TX. A typical summer from late July through say mid September we have night time lows of about 82 to the daily high of about 100-102. Hurricane came through week or so ago and weather pattern has been weird. High yesterday 101 with low temp this morning of 81 but today was overcast with a little bit of rain late which made it cooler but miserably humid. Actually have rain chances over next week or so which is not typical this time of year. Fall is the best time to visit Dallas-Ft Worth area.
