My wife claims to like hot weather.  I usually tolerate it OK, but to say I like it would be wrong.  Forecast here is for 90°F which is basically average, later this week I'm seeing 96°F, which is hot for here.  Dew point at the moment is 72°F, usually anything about 70°F starts to be clingy bad.

I keep seeing "news" items that all this is due to climate change, which for the most part is simply wrong.

I like hot weather.  Upper 90s is great. 

115 for weeks at a time would be a bit much for me.

Been 93-96 here for a few weeks now. It's not a dry heat.

Been on vacation in Palm Springs since Thursday. 119 high yesterday. But there's a pool at the Airbnb so it's all good. Ready to go home though.

Wind speed of course makes a huge difference, as well as shade (or sun).  I know they have these "feels like" Temps, but I think they are wrong.  I think 38°F in drizzle with wind can be painful versus 17°F and no wind.

You guys have no idea of how hot it really is until you work outside in it all day for several days at a time.  Been a scorcher.

it was when I was a summer helper in construction as a teen during summer that I made my mind up to go to college so I wouldnt have to earn a living outside with this Texas heat

It sure lit a fire under my butt

As a kid I worked summers mowing lawns and doing other general outdoor maintenance/landscaping stuff.  Like lh320, that's exactly what made me decide I'd have inside jobs if I planned on staying in Texas.
