our bodies cool down by sweating the shit out of itself. the sweat evaporates as soon as it leaves our body in low humidity. when the humidity is so freaking high, the sweat is not able to evaporate = that's why it feels hotter. everyone knows triple digits doesn't feel hot unless your running high humidty. it's why people in Yuma, Phoenix are more comfortable than people from Houston, Birmingham, Miami, etc..... ***yawn**** Quote:

litos...thread title: hottest outside TEMPERATURE. not hottest outside HEAT INDEX/RELATIVE HUMIDITY. if you want a valid argument, make a highest humidity thread. otherwise, no one really cares how humid it is there. humidity isn't causing problems for houstonians, while up here in 'tropical dallas', our infrastructure is crumbling because of high air temperatures. power grid stretched to the limit, roads are cracking because of dry soil everywhere, even my fucking house is having serious foundation issues because the soil around my house literally looks like barren desert soil (dry and cracked). your humidity doesn't cause that. that's caused by air temperature. i don't think anyone is particularly comfortable anywhere. if you don't like it, move.
here's a little quiz for you, oh weather god: KHOU 100153Z 18010KT 10SM FEW250 30/24 A2980 RMK AO2 SLP094 T03000239 KDAL 100153Z 17009KT 10SM FEW140 SCT260 37/16 A2971 RMK AO2 SLP050 CB DSNT NW DSPTD T03720161 what is this and which is hotter? whats the relative humidity? i would much rather have those figures from houston than the ones for dallas. in that mumbo-jumbo, there's every piece of weather data you need. once you extrapolate the data from there, you'll see just how hot it is in dallas, even at 8:53PM. must be nice to have that sea breeze. |

Litos,
I said Dallas avg's ALMOST as high. Below is the graph that shows it's not much different. I don't know why you think it's so "Dry" in Dallas. I grew up there and I remember it being humid as a motherfucker. And it actually avg's higher temperatures. I don't know if you know this but places that avg. high higher humidity tend to be cooler at night. And it keeps the temperatures down. And humid places avg more rain so you get more breaks from the heat. So I WOULD argue that Dallas summers are usually worse than Houston. And this year (you can look at the numbers), Dallas is avging a WAY worse summer than Houston. http://ggweather.com/ccd/avgrh.htm Here you can see the avg temps. It's almost the same really. Dallas avg's higher temps in July and August. http://www.weather.com/weather/wxcli...graph/USTX0327 http://www.weather.com/weather/wxcli...graph/USTX0617 This is kind of a pointless argument. Arguments about humidity are an opinion I think. Humidity is an annoyance. I thought the same way you did until I lived in Arizona for 5 years. I realize you say that you're only talking about this summer...so you're right, Texas and the midwest period for that matter are having a worse summer than Arizona this year...but this is not normally the case. The monsoon season in Arizona sometimes can be good...but usually it's a joke. Usually in Central/Ease Texas, it doesn't get over 100 too many times during the summer. It usually stays high 90's because we get some rain. But it's cool....we can keep going back and forth on this. I'm no meteoroligist...but I have been fascinated by temperatures across the world for most of my life. I've been in the military for 17 years and I've lived around the world and in both climates here for quite a few years. So I'm just relaying my personal experience with both. I have played softball year round in Arizona and Florida/Mississippi (which BTW are MORE humid than Houston) and I can tell you from being outside all day....humidity is meaningless compared to temperature. Most people extremely exaggerate temps anyway. When I got to Qatar, people were saying "Man, it was 160 yesterday." The highest recorded temperature on planet Earth is 136 in the Lybian desert. Of course there are a lot of factors and if you read about it, the reports admit that it's probably been higher in places over the years...but hotter means maybe at the most 140. But that would be extremely rare. I just think heat indexes and wind chills are pretty much meaningless. Actual temperature is what really matters. People also think the Northwest is the rain capital of the U.S. New York state avg's much more rainfall every year. OK...I'm getting out of hand now....I love weather arguments...

besides....WHAT THE FUCK DOES HUMIDITY OR HEAT INDICES HAVE TO DO WITH HIGHEST OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, YOU FUCKING IDIOT?! this still isn't the worst heat index thread yet, even though you've been trying your hardest to make it that. besides...haven't we already been over this? heat indices just let you know how many beads of sweat will appear on your numb scull in the 20 feet from your air conditioned car to your air conditioned office. air temperature is the shit that fucks things up. and no matter how much anybody refutes your bogus claims, you just won't fucking listen. i mean, seriously, are you retarded? or do you just act that way on the internet? why don't you just talk about things you know about, not argue stuff that you've been proven over and over to know absolutely nothing about. can't you just say something like 'hmm, that's interesting. thanks for telling me something i didn't know!' instead of coming back with the most asinine responses with nothing of relevance to back your bullshit up with? or are you just trying to piss everyone off at this point? i'm gonna go with the latter... |

That's because the ridge of high pressure that's been causing this heat wave is still in place and has only moved off slightly to the west. There's an upper level disturbance moving in from the north that caused a squall line, but all the showers that did develop have since fallen apart, although there's a great layer of clouds that's keeping the heat down. I'm a little bummed that the 100-degree streak will be over at 39 days though
