It's only been up to 118F last week. Pretty mild. Our air conditioning was out for 3 days. No biggie.
That's Toto, Lone Ranger.

Can you believe that up here in western New York State we just had the second COLDEST July on record! We missed the record by 1 degree F; that is the average temperature for July.

Ya well how's about sending some of that weather up here in Mitchigin.
July had only 3 days on normal or above normal weather.
In fact, Lake Mitchigin is so cold, The Lake Trout I caught this week were aready frozen...!

I remember summer 2003 in Vienna. We had 39 C.
But I guess that`s nothing compared to Phoenix. Whenever I look into my favorite weather site, I check out Phoenix (just because its so fascinating to me) and it`s always over 40. At the moment it says 44 C. How can you live in a town that has no lake or sea with such high temperatures. My respect to the people there, wow.

I remember that summer too, Sandra. It was over 40C in my flat and I had to install reflective blinds to keep the heat out. Still, anything over 25C is too hot as far as I am concerned

Arizona is different, although hot almost never humid. Lots of my friends head there for the winter.
Normally here we get 30C most of July and August but it has been cold this year. 21 or 22, and rainy.
I do live for increasing periods of time well north. It is usually 25C in the summer and -35C in the winter. But no electrical, no indoor toilet, and just 500 million stars and the northern lights.
Well the weather is what it is, the big problem is as you age and the barometer goes down you joints start to ache and you wish you were in Arizona or is that Arid-zone eh?

We've just had 3 weeks with the temp ranging from 101-117F. everyday. We live in Redding, California and the humidity is very low here even though a river runs right through the center of town. We have a high desert climate here on the edge of the surrounding mountains. I've never been to Austria, but I have been to Germany. Sure would like to be there right now, though.

P.S. The USA never adopted the metric system like the rest of the world. I'm a woodworker and the metric system is oh so much easier to use. The government did try to mandate the metric system probably 40? years ago, but everyone just ignored it. Too bad for us.

That's where I live and was quoting the 118F temp.
We have several man made lakes around the city.
I've lived here all my life so it's no big deal.
Phoenix is not the hot spot. Check out the temps for Yuma or Lake Havasu City. The latter holds the record here but just about anywhere along the Colorado river, which divides California and Arizona, is extreme.

i remember when the us was going to go metric until someone someone sat down and calculated the cost. changing the roadsigns alone was going to run into the US$ billions so very little progress has been made. our archaic system of weights and measures leaves a lot to be desired too. some of it is comical...hogshead, rod, furlong, ad infinitum?

Australia went metric in the 1970s. As it was quite confusing, I remember someone saying that they should have waited until all the old people died before introducing it. 
Cheers,
Keith

Actually the US is more metric than you think. Catapillar almost went under and changed. Some recent american cars that I've helped kids work on need metric wrenches. When you are the only real holdout it means if you want to export you have to do it in metric.
My distances except for Kilometers I still think of in feet and inches, chains and rods, and acres. But if I say something about a yard and a half away my kids, from 30 to 18 look at me like I'm nuts. Even my 80 year old parents talk temps in degrees C.
Give'em a centimeter and they take a kilometre doesn't sound the same.
Once a month we get something in the news about an American running up the main highway at 100 Miles an hour, not seeing the km behind the thing. I think they know, it's just the excuse.

US Engineers and Scientists went metric several decades ago, actually. So did the medical profession.
For example, all Surface Mount electronics components are metric measurement.
Under the hood of most American cars one can find both metric and SAE bolts and nuts. Depends upon the part and also to some extent where that part was designed and/or built.
Due to the proliferation of Inch Pattern, though, most US Engineers also have to deal with conversions from one to the other, for example, the metric printed circuit board fitted into the inch pattern case, things like that. We also are well versed in the problem of "metric creep" where the simple mathematical conversion from inch to metric or vice verse will always leave things a little bit "off".
Myself, I place the argument, if any, in the same category as Mac vs PC wars. Some folks divide into camps and that's that, it becomes yet another religious war in many ways. Others, like myself, simply do the pragmatic thing and learn to use both.
At the end of the day they are only tools.
It has been said that it is a poor carpenter who blames his tools.

I machined some prototype cylinder blocks, on a boring mill, for the Chevrolet Chevette back in to 70s.
We worked off of German prints from Brazil and had to convert all of the dimensions. There was one calculator in the plant that could make the conversions. The 1st shift guy had limited access to that. I was on second shift, so I had to do it all long hand.
I would be hard put to do it now.

Wasn't there a Mars lander that crashed a few years ago because the engineers did not realize calculations were in both systems?
