We had 108 official yesterday. My car thermometer was showing 116 however.
Air conditioning is mankind's greatest achievement in my book!

High is a cool low 90s here every day during july, august and september. Humidity is the killer here. it is 87 f right now with 74% humidity. They say that feels like 99. For us 74% is low humidity BTW.

Wullie-I drove with the family through Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle twice last summer on a vacation/road-trip to the 4 Corners area. As far as I'm concerned, God gave that area to the Devil to make into the back porch of hell. It hit 116 one day as we stopped in Amarillo. No wonder Texans are so tough!

I believe ever thang in Texas is hot including the beans !! Texas, hell on dogs and wimmin !! Wullie, load up on a few more of them tubes and bugger the humidity !!
In the middle of Summer over here, in the packaging shed of the nickel mine I work at near Leonora, Western Australia, it gets over 125'f, the birds fall out the trees dead, and so do the operators if they don't drink enough. Dry heat to about 110F is ok, but to much for me now if any hotter. Ps neat shovel.
Cheers
