IT'S SO HOT OUT!!!!!

How hot?

My hen's are laying hard boiled eggs!



What else y'all got? C'mon y'all let's forget about this covid crap for awhile and poke fun at our TX weather.

It's so hot... I saw two trees fighting over a dog!

It's so hot... I saw the Devil in Wal-Mart buying an air conditioner!

Popcorn popping in the field.

So hot that I have been staying inside!

Was 109 yesterday when we installed this new gate.

I just finished welding a big chunk of iron on the plow and a lizard climbed right on top of it to cool his feet....

See?

Hot as a two dollar pistol.
It's so hot I discovered asphalt has a liquid state.
So hot your car over heats before you start it.
It is so hot the potatoes are cooking underground.
So hot the sand is turning in to glass.
It is so hot the rocks are wilting.
It is so hot you can boil crawfish in the swimming pool.

It was 105 two days ago with heat index of 116...103 yesterday here in Goliad County. It was 103 at noon in Live Oak county yesterday...it was a hot SOB in the shade even. The ground and vegetation are drying up quickly now...you can feel the heat coming up of the ground when driving around during the day in the Ranger. Cracks on starting to show up out in the pastures now. Tanks are dropping quickly.

Its so hot, my chicken just laid an omelet!

It's hotter than a fresh fox in a forrest fire.

FIFY

Hotter than a witches t!t in a brass bra.

Hotter than a $500 Harley.

Hotter than a two dollar pistol

It's so hot I saw a dog chasing a cat, and they were both walking.

It's so hot the catfish have ticks.

So hot 2 buffalo were trying to hide in the shade of a flag pole.

I have actually seen something like this around Columbus. It was a sedan and it had a gas generator tied to the roof.

Hotter than 2 fat chicks gettin it on in wool socks

Its so hot cows are giving evaporated milk.

Thats a good one!

It is hotter than Satan's a$$hole on Taco Tuesday.

you gotta stand your tools up when working in this heat, lean 'em on something.

that's choice.

Been working in it for the last 2 days.... Clearing out brush for an elderly neighbor..9:00 AM to 4:PM....
Chopping and sawing... Dang Yaupons are everywhere..
About 75% done

It's almost as hot as it was in 1980.

This morning's forecast is for moderate temperatures and a chance for rain.

That was a hot summer!
2011 was also a scorcher.

Not even close 1980 was a massive heat wave throught the whole Midwest.

Back in 1980 they had just recently changed from Dallas Love Field to DFW Airport as the official temperature location. Back then there was very little development around DFW so not much asphalt and cement to hold and radiate heat.

The two days that were a 113 at DFW it was 117 at Love Field. I remember that summer all to well it was brutal.
All vegetation was burnt brown, when the sun would rise it was like a red ball of heat, most days there was Zero breeze.

I think they said in Presidio it got to 121 degrees.

So far this summer is a cake walk by Texas standards and lets not forget the summer of 2011!!

The Great Scorcher, that endless summer of 1980, was the heat wave against which all others in the Fort Worth area and statewide are measured.

The mercury reached 100 degrees June 7, 1980.

Then it got really hot.

Twice that month, it didn't stop until it got to 113, an all-time high.

The average high in July was 105.3.

North Texas had 69 days of triple-digit heat, including a spirit-sapping 42 in a row. Records are made to be broken, as they say in sports, but it's difficult to imagine having to endure a more miserable summer.

"I don't think it'll ever get that hot again," Howard McNeil said.

As a meteorologist for KTVT/Channel 11 at that time, McNeil had the unenviable duty each weekday evening of pasting on a smile and delivering a forecast as predictable as cafeteria food.

Hot. Dry. No rain.

The drought and heat wave conditions led many Midwestern cities to experience record heat. In Kansas City, Missouri, the high temperature was below 90°F (32°C) only twice and soared above the century mark (100 °F or 38 °C) for 17 days straight; in Memphis, Tennessee, the temperature reached an all-time high of 108 °F (42 °C) on July 13, 1980, part of a 15-day stretch of temperatures above 100 °F (38 °C) that lasted from July 6 to 20. In Indianapolis, Indiana on July 15, the temperature reached 100 °F (38 °C) for the first time since 1954.

In Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, high temperatures exceeded 100 °F (38 °C) a total of 69 times, including a record 42 consecutive days from June 23 to August 3.[4] Dallas/Fort Worth reached an all-time high when the temperature hit 113 °F (45 °C) on two consecutive days, from June 26 to 27. In all, the Dallas/Fort Worth area saw 29 days in which the previous record high temperature was either broken or tied.
Dallas also had 28 days above 105, and five days above 110.

Hurricane Allen helped to end the heat wave in early August.[5] The 2011 North American heat wave would ultimately surpass the 1980 heat wave in terms of number of days with highs exceeding 100 (with 71 days)[4] and the highest-ever low temperature for a single day (86 degrees); however, that heat wave only had 40 consecutive days of temperatures exceeding 100 (two short of the record) and the 113 degrees of 1980 remains a DFW all-time high.

On the northern rim of the high pressure ridge, several severe long-lived windstorms called derechos formed. The most notable was the "More Trees Down" Derecho that occurred on July 5. It raced from eastern Nebraska to Virginia in 15 hours, killing six and injuring about 70. The Western Wisconsin Derecho of July 15 killed three, and caused extensive property damage.

1980 was the only time in my life I lived without air conditioning. We sold our house in Lewisville and rented a house with no AC until we finished building our house in Wills Point. Of course mom and dad put a window unit in their bedroom. I will say, nothing will make you work harder than misery. I was 8-9 years old hanging sheet rock.

2011 sucked.
Did an internship at a ranch in Breckenridge, we saw 113 5 days, and 116 one day. For the month of July it never got under 80 degrees at night. Couldn't even go sit outside and relax at night.

We had to start checking protein feeders an hour before first light to be done by about 10. If it took you any longer you couldnt touch the ladder to set it up on the feeder it was so hot.

I killed a lot of pigs that summer too. Not much water out there, and you could drive by a watering hole and theyd all be soaking. I'd just keep driving another 100 yards and slowly walk back and pop a couple. That was dang near an every time deal when I checked that hole.

1998 was terrible. We built pipe and sucker rod fence from March to September. 2.5 miles of it, and at 100° or higher, and no breeze. We finally started cranking welders at 6 am and killing them at 3 pm. And I was going to EMT-B two nights a week. Long sleeve denim shirt, jeans, boots, welding gloves, hood, no shade. Only time in my life I've been so hot that when I finally got a breeze I got goosebumps.

I could maybe do it now, but I don't want to prove it.

I have had the pleasure of living/remembering the 80 and 11 summers. It’s the price we pay to live in the greatest “nation” in the world. We get those summers ever so often to purge those who do not have Texan blood. Stop whining, only through suffering does true enlightenment come. It cleanses the soul.

Bring it.

We all had a long, spectacular Spring in North Texas. Mild temps and lots of rain.
This Summer is average so far on temps. We've had much worse and the last couple were a little below normals for high temps.

All is good. Carry on.

Got some much needed rain today

Where at paleface? Send some here.

Katy. I was as surprised as anyone... Lots of lightning. Rained pretty good for maybe 35 or 40 minutes and about a 1/4-1/2 inch. I will take it.

Still here, not even a hint of a breeze
