I had a bunch of stops to make yesterday and have been recovering all day today. Its so bad nobody is taking dogs out for a walk, and people with no A/C at home are hiding out in the TV room (We have a big-screen and a pool table down there)
Dont forget this area isnt like the desert. Great lakes basin (as much as I love it) means we hit 90+% humidity.
I actually couldn't wear my glasses, they go so steamed up I couldn't see where the heck I was walking. So I can be blind without them or blind with them.
Dont even want a cold beer, its too hot for that. But the pitchers of iced tea are going down fast.

You basically just described what Florida is like, from April to October.
Wore a jacket to the grandson's baseball game Monday evening. Never know what kind of weather to expect.. On our first fourth of July here it was over 100 ̊ F.
The link showed 17 and 18 degrees, hence my query.
Actually the wording was lousy, 17 was the dead count. The temps were getting into the 90s with very high humidity. For people that are comfortable in the 50s, it would be hell.
Don’t let the nearly ideal mid-70-degree weather the mid-valley has enjoyed in recent weeks lull you into forgetting we’re into the second week of July.
The first truly hot days of summer are forecast for much of western Oregon starting midweek and could bump near the triple-digit mark.
"The temperature scale created by Anders Celsius in 1742 was actually the reverse of the modern Celsius scale. Celsius' original scale had water boil at 0 degrees and freeze at 100 degrees. Jean-Pierre Christin independently proposed at temperature scale with zero at the freezing point of water and 100 was the boiling point (1743). Celsius' original scale was reversed by Carolus Linnaeus in 1744, the year in which Celsius died.
The centigrade scale was confusing because "centigrade" was also the Spanish and French term for a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/100 of a right angle. When the scale was extended from 0 to 100 degrees for temperature, centigrade was more properly hectograde. The public was largely unaffected by the confusion. Even though the degree Celsius was adopted by international committees in 1948, weather forecasts issued by the BBC continued to use degrees centigrade until February 1985!
Depending on how old you are, you might read 38°C as 38 degrees Celsius or 38 degrees centigrade. ...
Celsius and centigrade are two names for essentially the same temperature scale (with slight differences). The centigrade scale is divided into degrees based on dividing the temperature between which water freezes and boils into 100 equal gradients or degrees. The word centigrade comes from "centi-" for 100 and "grade" for gradients. The centigrade scale was introduced in 1744 and remained the primary scale of temperature until 1948. In 1948 the CGPM (Conference General des Poids et Measures) decided to standardize several units of measurement, including the temperature scale. Since the "grade" was in use as a unit (including the "centigrade"), a new name was chosen for the temperature scale: Celsius." ...
we use F.
