    Yeah but, when it rains in London... It's always cold, no matter what time of year, or season, when it rains, it never fails to feel cold.
    I don't know about MA or New England, but in PA when I went in June 2004, I left London's Heathrow Airport on a hot sunny day.
    LHR (London Heathrow Airport) is also London's hottest location; so I was there on a hot day anyway that day... I landed in PHL (Philadelphia International Airport) it was overcast, and raining and... I was not impressed weather wise given I just left a really nice day in England. I walked through the airport to the car park when suddenly; The warmth of the air hit me as those doors opened. So much so (I was 17) (Fresh out of college); I walked back to the window, looked, saw it was grey, raining, everything, stepped back out to the car park and thought
    'Wow!'
    'That's warm!'
    'That's warm rain!'
    'I didn't know that that was possible'
    'Wow!'
    'I'm impressed'.
    Then yeah, sure, as I was there, the rain stopped, the sun shined, all of that, used the pool in NJ that summer.
    Was hot. - London, when it's hot, is dry, PA when it's hot, is humid and moist. London has a dry heat and cool rain.
    PA has nice warm rain in the summer and is more humid than London.

    So, I wouldn't feel so jealous, it's not warm here when it rains, ever.

    Southern Arizona. Daily temperatures hovering around 100° (nights mid-seventies), it's starting to warm up.

    It's been like that since mid-May.

    But, summer's still a couple of weeks away, so we've still got a ways to go. Lol...

    Last week we had snow, this week it hit 82 degrees - which at 7,000 above sea level feels more like 95 degrees.

    Hottest days of the year this week.
    Yesterday, bright blue skies, 31° / 88°
    Today @ 11am it's 29° / 84° and it's due to get hotter later today up to 31° / 88° again.


    It was hotter than a bunch of places here, yesterday, I looked and the only places hotter were Baghdad and Cairo that I checked, and I checked a bunch of places.

    Why does it have to be such a dry heat though? Always always is 'here' a dry heat.

    Mild low 90s. We are in need of better central air...thing struggles to keep the house cool....it stays 79/80 in the house when it's 94 outside. Later on when we look at 97, 98, or 100....we start turning on our supporting window units...

    "With sweltering temperatures in Phoenix today, American Airlines has canceled 43 flights at the city's Sky Harbor International Airport — just as broiling residents are likely wanting to get the heck out of Dodge.

    That's because American's regional aircraft, the Bombardier CRJ, has a maximum operating temperature of 118 degrees Fahrenheit at Phoenix's elevation.

    Experts say hot air affects engine output and increases the required plane speed and runway length for takeoff — and since the CRJ, a Canadian plane, has not been tested under those conditions, it hasn't been verified as safe in temperatures above 118 degrees.

    American's bigger jets, from Airbus and Boeing, have higher maximum temperatures for operation (127 and 126 degrees, respectively) and aren't affected by Phoenix's forecast.

    Delta was forced to cancel three flights because of weather conditions at Sky Harbor: two on Bombardier CRJs and one on another regional jet, the Embraer 175. United had to delay one of its flights, on an Embraer 175.

    Temperatures in Phoenix are expected to hit a high of 120 degrees today, according to the National Weather Service."

    The planes can fly just fine, the airlines (Mesa and SkyWest) just don't have the operating charts for above 118, not worth the expense since days like this only come every few years. I worked at the airport when we hit 123 back in 1990, that was hot...lots of planes were grounded for the same reason.

    It was so hot here yesterday - 35C - that the fan of the outside unit of my split aircon system was going soooo fast I thought the unit was going to take off and I'd never see it again.
