This even more just in - the weather thread
Asterus:
Michigan's been weird. Wednesday was one of those rain-teasing days, but it didn't actually happen, which was good for the fireworks. Thursday ended up with a deluge and lightning that sprung up out of nowhere around 5-ish. Friday was Rain for 20 mins, sun for 40, then rain again for another 20... And today was perfect. Absolutely perfect while I was at work for 12 hours.

That type of weather is, "Don't even BOTHER going outside".

Shit that was a cool day in Yuma. I think our record for a recorded high (on the flight line, which is always approx. 10 degrees hotter then the "normal" temp) was in the 140s. It was frigging miserable working outside in those conditions.
In other news it's raining a lot here. Thank the goddess.

But that's beyond fun anyway! And of course a microclimate, on a base for instance, could go higher locally.
GarandMarine:
I know we hit 140 on the flight line but it's not the actual temperature per say, it's the actual temp being super boosted by the massive slab of black that is the flight line. So it's very, very local to the flight line and attached hangars. They have the same issue at Sky Harbor now and then and actually have to shut down flight operations because it's literally too hot for safe operation.
Is it cold in here?:
Southerner trick: hold your wrists under the faucet. After a few seconds of cold water you'll feel your face getting cooler.
