In my part of Oklahoma it hasn't been to bad, mid to upper 90s, I think we hit 100 degrees once but I was at work. But I know the 100 degree days aren't to far off, normally it's hotter

Then push the vent windows all the way around backwards and keep the vehicle moving......
Hot one here in Delaware today, over 80 degrees with the humidity up. Reminds me of When I was a kid, we would visit my grandma in Georgia. How did people live without AC in the olden days?

Florida man and stepson die after hiking in extreme heat in Big Bend park in Texas
A Florida man and his 14-year-old stepson died after hiking in extreme heat at Big Bend National Park in West Texas, according to officials. The 31-year-old man had been hiking the Marufo Vega Trail on Friday with his two stepsons, ages 14 and 21. Temperatures at the time were 119 degrees...
Already had the floor vents open. It might be too cold with the wing vents open
Oh man! There are so many people who don't understand what the extreme heat can do and how fast it can do it! I hate to hear this, it breaks my heart. One of the cardinal rules here is to Never, ever, hike the Big Bend when the temps are in triple digits.Here is a sad story about Texas heat.

I'm actually surprised they haven't closed the park. ??

Same goes up here at the Palo Duro state park. Last year they had to implement some rules to keep people from hiking during the typical 120 degree heat in the canyons. Sad to see lives lost like that. We had a you man lose his life to heat there just a few days ago

Know the warning signs of heat exhaustion vs. heat stroke.
In my stubbornness, I often "power through" the heat with what I call "Go Mode", just get it done. I drink plenty of water and take a 10 min cool down break every half hour, and even then I can feel it creeping up on me.
Also take the time to check up on elderly neighbors and friends. My 92 year old mother in law doesn't know when she is too hot. She grew up in Florida in the 1930's and they were used to being hot. In sweltering temperatures, she doesn't complain about being hot, sweat rolling off her forehead and everything. Thankfully my father in law put AC in their house several years ago before he passed.

Yes AC for older people is VERY important. Dad who’s 85 doesn’t feel the heat too much. Wears long sleeves with sweater…even in summer. Complains that it’s cold with the AC. His circulation is obviously not what it should be. My mom who’s the same age feels the heat so she insists on it being on.

The elderly are the first to suffer from the extreme weather. Regardless if it's the heat or the cold and should be checked on regularly. Yep, I know that I'm preaching to the choir. We have some good eggs here on the forum.
I've been there before, Ed. It was too hot to do much of anything and we left. And this was in mid May! My second trip was planned for the end of October and was perfect weather. Palo Duro is a beautiful place!Same goes up here at the Palo Duro state park. Last year they had to implement some rules to keep people from hiking during the typical 120 degree heat in the canyons.

This is getting tiresome.... And now they are saying 2 more weeks until we get a break.
I say, Ice-cream for dinner tonight!!

I've lived in both, high humidity areas and low. I'll definitely take the low humidity. @BigLou as you know, that high humidity with high temps is the worst!! The one time I got sick because of the heat was in Florida.
Stay safe out there!!
