Screw the heat index just list the temp. They all push the heat index numbers to get the people believing global warming is taking place. Its called SUMMER people. Some years its hotter than others you will live.

I dunno. Last summer we had a week long heatwave that peaked at ninety and I was stuck in a place with no air conditioning and it was the hottest that has ever been. As a kid, it sometimes got no hotter than high Eighties. Now it’s been up to over a hundred and ten in some areas and something IS up. With the fact that concrete has been exploding in some areas, I would have to say that it is getting hotter. In June, we had some blazing temps that usually don’t show up until mid-August and this weather is so unusual.

The irony of it is that it has been quite mild here on the east coast this summer. July is almost over and this is the first heat wave this year and it is only lasting 4 days. As a runner training for a half marathon, I know what I am talking about. Other than ‘09, which I remember well because I was unemployed and playing Mr Mom with an infant that summer, this has been the coolest summer in the last 10 years. Newport News, VA

I take the heat index predictions very seriously. And the current heat index reading even more so. But I don't work in an air-conditioned cubicle.
