What is the warmest temperature you have ever seen on the thermometer at your house?

At my house here in Maine I believe one day many years ago I saw 105°F.

That was pretty warm considering it almost never goes over 95° here

I wish I had had A camera to take a picture of the thermometer at the time because my dad does not believe me it was ever 105° Fahrenheit

There was a brutal stretch last summer, where the temp was 95, then 97 then a few days in the 100's. I think the highest was 115 - even the weatherman was surprised!

@MaryJanine Yeah opening the windows is a bad idea, it is a bad idea sometimes to use fans to cool you down when it is really warm when the air is over the temperature of your body heat it is dangerous to use a fan because it is blowing air at you that is warmer than you so it is actually warming you up even if you psychologically think the wind chill is cooling you down it does not work that way so having the windows open is a bad idea because it just makes the temperature inside and outside the same when it's that warm plus all the bugs get in and like I said sometimes depending upon the temperature inside the building it is dangerous to use fans

@Jeremazing13 So they say today - but back in the 1960's, people didn't know any better. I just remember we all suffered through it.

@MaryJanine yeah it was tough for people back then also lots of people back then didn't have a lot of money even in the 60s pay wasn't as good as it is now even if it still isn't all that good and people didn't have AC even though I have a floor standing AC unit in my bedroom I don't use it all that often even if it is really really warm in my room mainly because it is excessively loud and annoying when the compressor turns on and off and just it running in general is loud but only run it occasionally also just because it wastes energy. I only use it when I absolutely have to
It was 99 degrees one day this past summer in DC. Maybe it's all the hot air coming out of the politicians!
@Jeremazing13 He's contributing to global warming! 😂

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays If we impeach trump or hopefully elect another president in not reelect him global warming will still be a big issue but it won't be life-or-death big any more
@Jeremazing13 I hope it's not too late. That's what worries me.

I’m thinking 114 F. We had a record setting heat wave and drought in 2011.
Jeremazing13 · 26-30, M
@cherokeepatti Wow I'm glad I don't live in a place where it gets that warm even in a heat wave even the 105 I saw my dad doesn't even believe me I wish I had a phone with a camera back then or my own film camera so I could have taken a picture of it
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Jeremazing13 Nope, I was wrong it was 116F. Here in my city. It was miserable not even cooling down comfortably at night. So many honeybees died too. I was feeding them sugar water at one time because they kept going to trash cans trying to find soft drink residue in cans.

@cherokeepatti That's terrible even though I don't like bees I'm afraid of bees even though I'm not allergic to bees bees are necessary for plants and other stuff and they also provide delicious honey The bumblebees are great because of pollinating plants and honey bees make the honey however at my house we have a giant paper wasp problem every year they seem to make 5 or more nests right up on the eaves of our house underneath where the roof hangs over at the top of the house above the windows and they're not always this small wasp nests some of them are huge ones that look like the wasp nests you see on TV in the cartoons similar to Winnie the Pooh

113 F, in the shade. It's been hotter, but that's the most recent.

Inside 88 but my house is extremely well insulated
Jeremazing13 · 26-30, M
@dale74 What about outside at your house?
Jeremazing13 · 26-30, M
@dale74 I used to work at a liquor bottling company and they didn't have AC inside the plant where all the conveyors were but they only had it in the office area and at 1 point it was actually 86゚ while I was working it was awful I know people who do construction work whether it's building houses or fixing roads have it worse because it can be any temperature he could be in the nineties but there's no excuse for having people work inside a building with it that warm for a week straight

102 outside, and 88 when the A/C went out inside.

@cherokeepatti That's too bad. I have heard a lot on the news that the bee population is shrinking however I have heard even though the population is shrinking there has been a problem in the past couple of years with bees swarming people's houses or covering entire cars so you can barely even see the cars or whatever in California.

Have you heard about this?
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Jeremazing13 I have to wonder if the WIFI signals are causing the bees to get disoriented. I have heard of something about it but not recently. They say that when whales get beached it may have something to do with sonar signals on submarines.

@cherokeepatti Google I think I just told me Wi-Fi is affecting sex.

However you are correct If what Google told me is right
