Guest guest Report post Posted July 17, 2006 Oppressive heat wave baking the United States Updated Sun. Jul. 16 2006 11:39 PM ET Associated Press CHICAGO -- Temperatures soared into the upper 90s and higher Sunday from coast to coast, bringing out heat warnings, wilting athletes and driving others into the shade. The choking heat was expected to continue for the next few days, and the hot air was moving toward the East Coast, meteorologists said. Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich said Sunday the state would make more than 130 office buildings available as cooling centers beginning Monday. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty had ordered the National Guard out to help firefighters as temperatures even in the normally cool northern part of the state pushed 100 degrees amid very dry conditions. The National Weather Service issued excessive heat warnings for Las Vegas, Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Tulsa, Okla., and parts of New Jersey, where thermometers made it into the 90s Sunday and were expected to reach 100 degrees Monday. " I could use a pool out here, " Doreen Venick, 36, said Sunday as she took shelter in the shade of a small tree with her two children and her sister at a children's festival in Brick, N.J. Officials in Chicago, where a 1995 heat wave killed 700 people, opened 24-hour cooling centers and pleaded with people to check on elderly neighbors. No heat-related deaths were reported in the city by Sunday afternoon as temperatures approached 100 in parts of the state Sunday. Organizers of Gay Games VII, a sporting event that has drawn about 12,000 gay and lesbian athletes to Chicago, said outdoor events were going ahead as planned with hydration stations, tents and medical teams. Two triathletes were treated for heat-related illnesses. Chicago hit 94 by 3 p.m., but it didn't bother Frank Lee of Manoa, Hawaii, who was competing in the event's tennis matches and planned to drink plenty of water and eat bananas. " Oh, I love it balmy, " Lee said. " But maybe it's a little too hot. " A large high pressure area centered over much of the mountain states and extending into the Midwest was pumping hot air from Mexico across the desert Southwest and into the Midwest, said Rob Handel, a weather service meteorologist in Chicago. Even the Colorado mountain town of Frazier, which sits at 8,550 feet and likes to claim that it is the nation's ice box, was in the upper 80s during the weekend. " It's not supposed to be hot like this. Lately there have been evenings when you could sit outside at 10 p.m. without a coat. All my life I couldn't do that, " said Connie Clayton, 58, a lifelong resident of Frazier. The mile-high city of Denver had two straight days of record highs, hitting 103 on Sunday and 101 Saturday. South Dakota posted some of the nation's highest temperatures with a reading Saturday of 115 at Pierre, the state capital, and an unofficial report of 120 outside the town of Usta in the state's northwest corner. " There's a lot of records that are falling across the state, " said Todd Heitkamp, a weather service meteorologist in Sioux Falls. The mercury again topped 100 degrees Sunday across much of South Dakota. In Arizona, Sunday's high was forecast at 110, not enough to rate an extreme heat advisory in the desert metropolis. In Oklahoma, where temperatures also have been rising above 100, officials were investigating a possible heat-related death and reported more than 40 heat-related calls to emergency medical services in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The state's weeklong forecast calls for highs ranging from the mid 90s up to 106 degrees. Several people were treated for heat-related illnesses Saturday at the St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo, said Dr. Greg Hymel, an emergency room physician. The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for the area Sunday, with temperatures reaching 91. Southern California joined in the heat wave, with temperatures over 100 degrees adding to the problems facing firefighters battling huge wildfires. Lancaster hit 109 on Saturday and Pasadena recorded 101, and Southern California Edison reported a record for weekend power use as air conditioners were cranked up. Hot, sticky air also covered parts of the Southeast. In Georgia, temperatures have soared to near-record highs, with six cities posting temperatures of 100 degrees or higher on Saturday.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 19, 2006 Yep, tis mighty hot here right now! Yesterday it finally " cooled down " to about 75 with a breeze, but we are headed right back towards the 100's starting today.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 19, 2006 Hi Nikki We have that trouble. The house is hot - work is hot because the air conditiioning doesn't work. It was 31 degrees at work today - with all the desk fans going. OUr old bangers never have air-conditioning either. Although it is meant to be a little less hot tomorrow for a few days, it will still be too hot for me!

Guest guest Report post Posted July 19, 2006 Hi Jo It does make it harder to concentrate too. Luckily we have a pretty good air conditioner in the house, so that helps when I work from my home office. I just don't like showing up to a new customer after sitting in traffic for an hour in the heat looking like a wet rag. LOL Try to stay cool and hopefully it will get to a nicer temp soon!

Guest guest Report post Posted July 20, 2006 Hi NIkki I suppose house air-conditioning will have to happen over here if it is going to get hotter. Last night was terribly hot and sticky, and this morning it looked like Dagobah in the garden - lots of steam! I hope you don't get too hot. Colin's at a meeting in Wales today. His journey will be okay this morning, but hot when he comes back this afternoon. BB Jo , " earthstrm " <earthstorm wrote: > > Hi Jo > > It does make it harder to concentrate too.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 20, 2006 Hi Peter I think I can do without Yoda - I don't want him pinching my veggie sausages :-) BB Jo , " Peter Kebbell " <metalscarab wrote: > > Hi Jo > > >I suppose house air-conditioning will have to happen over here if it > >is going to get hotter.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 20, 2006 I think there is quite a divide. Department stores over here generally didn't have air-conditioning until 10-15 years ago. America seems to have luxuries long before we do. When I was a kid I didn't know what the enormous metal-looking cupboards were in American films - they were fridges, and very few people over here had fridges.
