My GT needs more than the Givi windscreen. It needs a humidity plow.

And the Official Highest Ever on Record  temperature in Waco today was 114° F !    GT was almost too hot to touch even in the garage.

  Been hitting the high 90's/low 100's here in Albuquerque since June. All my t-shooting of the C5 has had to be done between 0430 and 0900 while the garage is still cool enough to work in.

115°F yesterday.  116°F just an hour ago here in Phoenix.

That 116°F doesn't set a record but it does tie one for this date.

Too hot for my taste.      55 degrees and foggy at my place this morning. It should clear up and hit 65 as the high by this afternoon though.

It's been consistent 90's and low 100's here in Denver for the last couple of months.  It's been doing wonders for the garden tho!

The high heat is bad but I don't think it is much worse than temperatures of -30°-40° F below zero like a lot of people up in the North put up with every year.

Now, I did get to experience one day that was unbelievably hot here.

The company I worked for is located right next to the Phoenix International airport (Sky Harbor).
I was located on one of the upper floors and the building has windows that allow a person to look out and watch the airplanes over on the main runways.

On this day, (June, 26th, 1990) I noticed there were no airplanes taking off, taxiing or landing.
I asked around the office and found out why.

The temperature outside was 122°F !

The commercial and other airplanes were not certified to take off or land at temperatures that hot.

At the time, I was riding my BMW K-75 to work so I got to ride home in that heat.

It was so hot that the skin on my arms and face felt like it was burning.
Sitting at a stop light was really bad but riding along at 40-50 mph wasn't any better.
The sweat evaporated faster than my body could make it so it was a stinging, burning hot feeling all the way home.
It was the same kind of feeling I got if I was standing in front of one of the heat treating furnaces with the door open and its 2000°F heat blasting out.

Not good at all !

It was a damn good thing my ride was only about 6 1/2 miles. 
I think I wouldn't have been able to make it if it had been over 10.

Oh!  It's a balmy 115°F outside right now.

When I was stationed at Howard AFB in the Panama Canal Zone during the mid-1960's, I saw the last flying B-47 land and then it couldn't take off again until the rainy season arrived and the temperature and humidity dropped from the high-80 degrees to the mid-60 degrees at night. They also brought in an F-111 to see how it would deal with the Panamanian weather.  Apparently, it didn't like it all that much as I heard that a lot of the electrical components and wiring started rotting after a couple of months.  One day it just disappeared, but I never heard it take off.    I loved riding my 1966 Suzuki B-100P around the county. I always knew what the weather would be every day. Warm and wet in the afternoon, or warm and dry for 4 months out of the year.
