Can It be Too Hot?

Texas heat over 100 daily. No issues on drive today with engine or tranny. Ran genny and both ac's to stay cool.

Inside temp tonite 74 (outside 95) and switched back ac off since not needed.

Bays still hot and inverter data does batteries st 96 degrees.

Is there an outside temperature that's too hot?

They say we're fixin' to break the local all-time record for number of consecutive days over 100 in Midland, TX - 14 DAYS!  I try not to think about it too much...makes my head hurt.  I've taken to walking Bella before 8:00am to beat the heat...

100 degrees here in Hastings yesterday, hottest Memorial Day ever.  Of course, I was out in the woods cutting trees.  Mad dogs and Englishmen sort-of-thing.

Two summers ago crossing North Dakota, 116 degrees.

Still just as hot, but it's more tolerable because the blowing dust helps soak up the sweat running off your body.  8)

A balmy 76 degrees here in Ajo at 6.30 a.m. mst. Going to be a cooker today, expect higher heat when we go to Phoenix on Friday for my cataract surgery. No problem in the coach, (we turn the air on when the outside temp. hits 95) so well insulated and just the rear Carrier on works as advertised !  ^.^d

Don't know how people lived here in the coast Texas area without air conditioning !  We have a pool as well. Keeps it comfortable. I would not live inland in Texas, at least on the coast we have a constant 12 knots or more of breeze. Keeps the heat tolerable. Soon as I am retired I will head north and up in the summer months.

here in Washington, Vermont, mid 70's during the day, mid 50's at night. I grew up in the South Florida summer heat, no a/c, just an attic fan that took the edge off,  had enough of that

My wife cheered me on cutting up trees and burning them for out Memorial Day as well .
Also ironic that I continually said to myself only English men and mad dogs work in the midday sun!
