One heck of a hot day

old · Jul 26, 2014

Just looked at my thermometer on the porch and it is in the shade reads 104. NOAA say dew point is 75 degree so nice an humid also. Step out side walk 10 feet and drip a drop of seat for each step. Plus it is dry as a bone out and we sure as heck could use some rain

It was a cooker for sure. I spent the day raking and baling hay. I had a canopy on the 4020 but it was still so terrible hot. My feet just about cooked in my shoes. But I got the alfalfa put up up and two waterways and the top meadow done. I'm not sure what going I happen with all of these bales - there were still some left from last year! Days like this make me want a single axle tractor with a cab. Everything with air has duals on it and you can't run a square baler or rake like that!

I agree 104 is hot but had to chuckle when you added dew point is 75 degree so nice an humid.

Heck that's only 40% humidity.

Lower 80s, but humid here today.

Our local county fair (Marion) is wrapping up today here in Kansas and it is a hot one; about 100 here too. Last week was the McPherson County fair and we enjoyed temperatures in the 80's with nights in the low 60's but summer came back in full force this week. The good news is that it is supposed to be back in the 80's next week for our Goessel Threshing Days antique tractor show. That will feel good. Like you, though, an inch or two of rain would do us some good.

(quoted from post at 19:42:32 07/26/14) I agree 104 is hot but had to chuckle when you added dew point is 75 degree so nice an humid.

I'm by no means an expert but I just checked the National Weather Service for here and the temp is 91 degrees, relative humidity is 67% and the dew point is 75 degrees at 8:08 pm.

That sounds about right.
The closer the temperature is to the dew point the higher the humidity is.

Our dew point stays right around mid 70's a lot of the time.
At night that means we get very close to 100% humidity because our over night temps bottom out at mid 70's
During the day we see mid 90's so the humidity level drops even though the dew point stays pretty constant.

While we only got to 96 today our feels like temperature or heat index was higher than Old's 104 temperature was; because we have higher dew points; hence more humid.
When you live where you can smell salt in the air it does not need to get very cold or very hot for your body to feel it.

Ah but where I live is lake area so very humid just because of the Lake of the Ozarks. It was said today that the humidity was around 70% which sure as heck makes it feel very hot with a temp of 104

We had a few showers roll through up by Eldon/Bagnell area. Prob'ly not enough to do much good, but I left a half ton of feed on the truck as it was just too blasted hot and humid to move it. Hope the feed dries out overnight.

i think it got around 100* here in ca today, not sure cause we don't have one of them there fancy temperature reading gismo's, we probably have 0 humility where im at, but when it gets 100* or better, hot is hot, this morning i got some oliver parts cleaned up and did some welding. after lunch we retired to the bedroom for a nap and some reading from 1:00 till 6:00 cause it has air conditioning.

Old, I live about a hundred miles north of you in the Columbia area and it was no 104 here today. I don't think it got much over 90. I'd double check your thermometer because that's awful warm for Missouri.

"humidity was around 70% which sure as heck makes it feel very hot with a temp of 104"

Please excuses me if I laugh but that is kind of hard to believe unless you are really in the Persian Gulf.
That would give you a heat index (feels like) temperature of around 160 degrees.
To show you how odd that would be; that is completely off the NOAA national weather service: heat index chart.

So lets just leave it that it was hot yesterday.

That was not just one but 2 that said 104. I live in a valley and had a friend stop in to pick up a tractor and he said his fancy truck thermometer said it was 104. Springfield reported it to be 99 in Camdenton

Funny how you can be only about 40 miles from me and get rain and I did not get a drop but that is Missouri

chevytaHOE5674 · Jul 27, 2014

Its 49* UP here with a steady cold rain falling. Id take some of that heat so I could get some 1st cutting hay made. At this rate it looks like I'll be making hay well into August again this year.
