107 degrees F might just be the New Normal for Dallas TX on July 17, 2018

Yes, and all cars running max AC.

45 C , not good. How do you make it through the summer? I bet we are running in second place here in Dallas with India's summer.

@lookatdesktop ,On top of it some times the humidity practically makes the things impossible to live ! Many birds they die during that time!

@AKRao24 , Is there a way to make a canopy for the birds? I think a light weight cloth canopy for plants would also be a nice way to give birds a short period to rest and drink and get some shade as we also need shade, cool water and a canopy of some sort is recommended for very hot areas like where I live and where you live.

@lookatdesktop That's for sure!

@lookatdesktop I wanted something pleasant and positive to appear as my avatar.

Yep. Under a tree in some kind of shade with the wind blowing is better than no shade and no wind.

I think that winter is melting on the north pole. Santa is having to put on sunscreen and rest under a tall palm tree while sipping on hot chocolate while his elves and reindeer take a trip to Hawaii to sprinkle some pixidust on the volcano before it melts the entire island.

@just4him

@lookatdesktop That's hilarious! I can see him and them doing just that!

How many days or weeks are we talking about?

@lookatdesktop Probably one week.

I have to get out every day and water the plants, and run errands so in spite of the heatwave which is common here in Dallas, and the state of Texas, I don't really enjoy it much.

@Courage7 , I use Sunblock when I have time to do it. I go out lots of times forgetting about applying it. And further, I always wear a hat, a stylish Cowboys logo baseball cap and dark sunglasses. If I go out I only do it for under 20 minutes at any given instance.

@lookatdesktop Oh no I hope you can cover up somehow. Gosh.

@lookatdesktop You're right, dear friend. Now we turn on the air conditioner almost 24 hours a day.

I think China is a large country that might have a variety of temperatures throughout the day and the night. 96 is hot enough to run the AC 24/7 and make the electricity bill go up during the summer months.

I think even Vermont is having a heat wave.

@lookatdesktop oh okay. I get it.

I would rather not. The streets, where tar is used to fill in pot holes which are very common, the tar on the streets can sometimes get waves of wrinkles in them as traffic keeps rolling over it. Like a WAVY LAYS chip.

Not that much cooler. It was down around 87 degrees by nearly 10:30 PM last night I do believe.
