I know where it comes from. Their dew point [on average] is about 60 points higher than ours. My point is, 105 is effing hot whether it's 12% humidity or 80% humidity.

Tropical Storm Don is hopefully going to spin some our way. It's a long-shot, but it's a shot.

30% chance, I'm not going to hold my breath. http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/78666

It's sad when we get excited over ANY chance of rain on the forecast.

I had 111 on my dash last week here in PA, this heat wave is pretty big. We also had a big snow storm last winter, the two usually go hand in hand.

People ask me if I'm hot on the bike with all that gear. I wear a mesh jacket, so no, I'm not hot. And compared to driving a vehicle with no air conditioning it's bliss.

I drive my p/u once a week to the store to keep the battery charged but ride the bike to work every day. 30% of rain tonight, it'll feel good on the bike.
