This is serious boys and girls, life threatening high temps across the SW, I'm already watering the cactus's, Saturday 109 is just the beginning, next Tuesday 115 in Tucson :evil5:

Tucson's all time high temp is 117, Phoenix's is 122, the state record is 128 for those poor old folks in trailer parks in Lake Havasu City

I was here for 117, hard to breath after a few minutes outside...Pray for the livestock and pets left outside by idiot owners. Wildfires are tearing across southern Az right now, pretty windy!!

Couple gallons of homemade ice tea is in order Craig. We just had two days of close to 100 degree weather and the humidity was brutal. Today much nicer!

Yup, hot as hell. We have been taking turns going out and assisting the painter working on Casa de Sniffer and its brutal. Should be done today. Last night it was still 102 at 6pm and temps this high are rare here at our elevation (5000ft). Fires are raging for sure. Maybe it will burn out the shitty dilapidated trailers around here.

I feel bad for youin's! I can't handle that crap. We were STUNNED to find the summers here in the Ozarks are hotter than South Fla. But usually not more than 105 or so.
All i can say is, Fire up the swamp cooler!
Only 92 here today, but the humidity is 73%. Like a free sauna. I need a birch branch to swat myself with!:D

Flights scheduled at the Phoenix airport are getting canceled left and right as the forecasted 120 F high hinders aircraft operation.

Everybody is stuck, Craig and you're not going to have enough popsicles for them!

Had a stop-over at the Phoenix airport yesterday. They announced a high temp of 120 degrees.

But hell ... it's only a dry heat. :laughing8:

Lucky you stayed in the air at 120f.
Had to change planes ... so the jet-way was hot as &^%# - but yeah - not as bad as exiting the airport and being around town. :cry:

Massive airport too. Hadn't been through there before. Felt nearly as big as DIA in Denver.
