Heatin' up!
Well folks, late last week after the storms it cooled down to the high 80's and low 90's, but this week the temps are in the 110's and IT IS HOT and it's only going to get hotter. Today was 105, but it felt like 98 according to the weather guy. I guess the 5-10 knot breeze helped to make it feel like it was cooler....but it's still like a dang oven here. The humidity is low (15%) so it feels like when you get the whoosh of hot air when you open your oven. I really feel for all those soldiers that have to wear their Body Armor and Kevlar helmets in this HEAT!! Our DOC gave us a preemptive warning about running between the hours of 11am to 3 pm. That's when the heat is the worst and you could suffer from heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. So I have moved my daytime running to later in the afternoon...but it's still hot. Air conditioning makes life over here tolerable.
The picture above is of another Palace directly across (or behind) the Al Faw palace. There are more palaces here than you can shake a stick at...some people call the funny dome "the juicer" palace because the top looks like a juicer.
I miss AMERICA especially my family. Love you K, J & C!!

Mrs. ea6bflyr here---The key word here is ALMOST. It does get very hot in AZ. The latitude where he is ALMOST exactly is the latitude between Gila Bend and Phoenix. Besides, does 110 really feel soooo much hotter than 100? Hot is hot, no matter where you are. In Phoenix I think with the pollution and inversion days, it makes it feel even worse. I wouldn't want to be out exercising in it either way. That is the point. I feel for you honey. Stay inside on the treadmill. :) xoxoxoxo Miss you more.
I think 110 really does feel much hotter that 100. I know when there is a 10 degree difference in temperatures here you certainly can tell. I was in vegas one time and it was 120. I walked out of the casino and it almost knocked me to my knees. I feel for you Rob. I wouldnt want to be there no matter what the temperature is. Keep on the down low.
