August is extremely hot in the south. The southern gulf coast, including Texas, also has hurricanes in the summer months.

Heard someone say that what Brits consider a heatwave we Americans actively choose as our house temperature during the summers. And it's true. Europeans complain about 75 degree heat, in the south, people set their air conditioners to the mid-70s in order to stay cool. It's not unusual in the south to experience 70-80 degree weather in December/January. And in the summer--July/August especially, it's NORMAL for temperatures to soar into the 100s. But what makes that heat worse, is the humidity. If you want to know what it's like, Boil a pot of water. Soak a towel in it. Let it cool just until you can handle the towel without burning yourself (it still needs to be uncomfortably hot), wrap that towel around your head, covering your entire face. Try to breathe.

So when a freak ice storm hits Texas we have to shut down and wait it through. How many people in the Northwest have air conditioners? Very few so when they got hit by a heatwave and people were suffering no one in Texas was pointing their finger and say stupid idiots why don't you have an air conditioner. Because they usually don't need one so why would they invest in one. I am so sick of northerners poking us because we're not ready for ice storms. But what the hell would be ready for ice storms when we get them so rarely. We're going to keep ice plows stuck in garages for 8 years and costing the tax payer million of dollars?!

It's funny to Europeans that we're so obsessed with air conditioning, but I live in California and just last week in the city I live in a man died because his AC went out and he suffered a heat stroke in his own house.

We stopped at every market/convenience store we came across to eat ice cream and other frozen food/drinks.

Just yesterday, it was reported that a Belgian tourist was, for some reason, wearing flip flops in Death Valley. They either broke, or he lost them, and he ended up barefoot in the sand dunes. That resulted in third-degree burns with rangers reporting that his skin had "melted off his feet". They wanted to airlift him to a burn center, but helicopters can't get enough lift when the air is that hot. So they instead needed to take him by ambulance to higher ground where the temperature was 109°F and thus accessible by helicopter.

I grew up south Alabama with no AC. I never actually adapted to it. I was miserable in the summers.

Going to states that tend to be arid in August is crazy if you intend to walk out of a building at any time. Late spring is a great time in most of them because the land will be green and cool enough to enjoy. Some specifics: - Texas: First time I drove across Texas (on the I-20) was July. We left Dallas at 6am and drove without stopping except for gas and fast food. We made it to El Paso at sunset. When you drive for most of a day without turns and the only thing that seemed to change was the names of the towns on the signs. It was - Florida: First time I went thru Florida was just an overnight stay in a hotel before the next morning's flight. When the bus dropped me at the hotel it was so humid that the outside of the windows were literally streaming with the condensing water. - Alaska: People think of the "Great White North". The interior of Alaska can get a LOT hotter than people would imagine. The "official" is high is 99° but temps over 110° have been reported at unofficial locations. The official record low is -66° but pictures of business signs with temps below -70° are easy to find.

As others have mentioned, Texas during our summers consistently have 100+ degree Fahrenheit days. We recently broke a couple years ago or so the "100 days of 100 degree heat" record where I think we had 113 consecutive days of 100 degree heat. The thing mist people don't realize is even at 10 PM (20:00) it's still about 92 degrees fahrenheit on most days (33.33 degrees celsius) and at midnight it drops to "as low as" 86 fahrenheit (30 celsius) In August, it gets really funny, because it's basically the same weather + humidity + no clouds + non-stop. I remember when I participated in Tennis tournaments as a kid, one of my first tournaments in August, it was a bracket of 43 players (some people got defaults or by's to the next round) Due to my ranking I got a by the first round... Then my opponent in the 2nd round went home due to fear of heat stroke... The 3rd round opponent went to the hospital due to heat stroke after beating his opponent in a 2 hour match, which he was winning by won by default whrn his opponent started vomiting, then I was about to face my semi-finals opponent but the organisers felt bad for me sitting around for 5 hours, so I faced the 3rd round opponent from the other side of the bracket, he was a kid 2 years younger, I figuratively slapped him and won 6-1, 6-0. Then I was in the finals... Getting juiced up and!... It started to rain and the tournament was called off. By the by, have you ever felt rain when it's 103 degrees out? It's weird. And gross. Like a warm shower that's not meant to be warm

DO NOT go to the South in August. It can be very hot and hurricane season is usuallyJune thru November. You will likely book your reservations early to save money, and you do not want to be worrying about hurricanes during your vacation. There was a heat wave in Chicago in 1995 That peaked at 106 degrees, but with high humidity. More than 700 people died over a 5 day period. The concrete and asphault in major cities hols the heat so that it does not cool off at night.

Hurricane season is the worst in September and October, both are months that are actually okay in the South. It'll be warm in comparison but not unbearable. But you should prepare to adjust plans around a potential hurricane if you're near a coast. I'd recommend that over spring time storms which bring tornadoes.

what a lot of people don't realize is that most of the US is at lower latitudes then most of Europe. Maine is at the same latitude as Milan, Italy and Washington State is at the same latitude as France. Kansas the middlepoint of the US is the same latitude as Spain. Weather patterns are different of course due to a number of factors but something to consider.

Also very significant is that all of western Europe, including Scandinavia, is peninsular, so that the ocean or seas moderate the weather, apart from the specific effects of the Gulf Stream. Only when you get east of the Alps do you get a true continental climate. On the other hand, most of North America has a continental climate (meaning minimal moderation by the presence of the ocean).

True. NYC is at the same latitude as Madrid.

The gulf of Mexico makes the high heat feel even worse. I was in Wyoming and South Dakota and it was 112°F, but it felt better that the high 80s in Kentucky a few days later. Humidity is no joke.

Texan here. Late August/early September is hottest time you can come. Last year we managed to have a 55 day long streak of temps exceeding 100° with the record being 79 in 2011. If you want "comfortable" temps you wanna visit from late March to May or in October.

Andre, we are not exaggerating when we say it's too hot in Texas in the summer. July and August are the hottest months of the year. Texas gets triple digit temperatures at that time of the year. I am from Texas and speak from experience. The first time you walk out into weather that hot it will suddenly feel like you can't breath as the hot air gets into your face and lungs. The roads and sidewalks are hot enough to melt the bottoms of a cheap pair of shoes. If you are foolish enough to go to Texas in the summer then at least make sure you always have a big cup of ice water with you. Always wear a hat and sun block while outside. It's very easy to overheat while outside walking around. When you travel to the US, go to the southern states in the early spring and autumn. Visit the northern states in the summer and early autumn. Winter in Florida.

Hello, Montanan here! Yes, you are correct that we get a lot of snow, but our climate is one of the most extreme in the world. We are currently experiencing a heat wave where temperatures will likely go above 100F for many parts of the state for the next few days, so we experience both very hot and very cold. Also, the greatest temperature change in 24 hours occurred in Loma, Montana on January 15, 1972. The temperature rose exactly 103 degrees, from -54 degrees Fahrenheit to 49 degrees. This is the world record for a 24-hour temperature change. Not only that, we also have the record for the biggest snowflake ever recorded, at 15 inches (38 centimeters) near Missoula, Montana in January of 1887!

Dallas, TX here. We have fans set up for our livestock, just to help them out. Yes, lots of shade, tons of water options, including a pool that our chickens stand in to cool their legs, bigger pools for the bigger animals to get in, not just drink. Why? After you lose an animal because it's so hot & humid, you get a different perspective. 105°F is nothing to play with.

there's a 150 mile/240KM stretch of highway between Needles, California and the next closest town of Barstow through open desert. I once did the drive at noon in July. Stopped for lunch in Needles it was 118, came out it was 121, drove across the street for gas and it was 125. there's actually warning signs about not doing that trip if you don't think your car can handle it because so many people get stranded in the desert

The problem with Southern heat over Western heat (Arizona, Nevada, California...) is the humidity. Your body cools via evaporation of sweat but the higher the humidity, the slower the rate of evaporation. So a dry heat is more tolerable since your body can cool itself. In the humidity, you cannot cool yourself so your only option is to go slow. This is why the South moves more slowly than the rest of the country. You have to go slow or die. I live in Mississippi (very humid) but I lived in Texas for a little while (not as humid). There are hardly any trees because they cannot survive. If trees cannot survive, you will struggle as well. To add insult to injury, no trees = no shade so you get heat from exposure to direct sun in addition to the ambient temperature. Try to avoid the South in July and August if possible.

Iowa a dry heat? Iowa be humid

I lived in Dallas for 4 years and Houston for 20 years. the thing you have to remember about Texas is "It's A Whole Other Country" isn't just a tourist motto. If you hit Amarillo, you're going to get Desert Hot which comes with Desert Nights. I worked a summer there, and it would hit high 90s (F) in the day and leave frost overnight. Dallas is similar with higher temps and some humidity which retains heat overnight. Quite lovely, even in August. Houston really pushed my limits, frequent 100+ temps for weeks and high humidity which means you do not get relief in the shade or at night. Without AC you will die. October-March is very nice temps, May-August is hell on Earth. Austin is actually very nice, even in high summer, and I quite enjoyed San Antonio as well. All those cities, with the exception of Amarillo, have great evening and night attractions for tourists, so expect to do your sight seeing then. Farthest south I went was Corpus Christi, and that was also very nice in August. 100+ but with nice cooling breezes as it is a beach town, so prepare to spend your time doing that. Most things to do or see are indoors, anyway. Even we aren't that crazy.

As someone who has lived in both New York and New Mexico, I would definitely say that while New Mexico is obviously hotter, with the hottest temp I ever experienced being 116, I actually have a harder time with summer in New York, because of the humidity. I think the best way to describe New York would be that we have a larger range of temperatures. In the winter, it can get very cold, and it snows A LOT, and the closer you get to the Great Lakes, the more snow you get. However, in the summer, it can get pretty hot, mid 80s is probably what a regular summer day looks like, but 90s weather is not unheard of. Although, like I said, the humidity makes it sooooo much worse. Now, this isn't even remotely comparable to the south, and I couldn't imagine living there with temps almost as high as New Mexico, and humidity worse than water. Also, I have been to Texas in August (although this was Lubbock, which isn't nearly as humid as east Texas), and it is not fun, if you want to visit Texas, do it in the spring or fall, I would recommend spring, however if you plan on spending a fair amount of time in New York, the fall is beautiful.

117F is common high in the summer in the deserts here in the US, I live in New Mexico, a desert as well. That's why every house and store is equipped with blasting AC and it's common to give ice water and allow people to just stand in businesses to cool down. It saves lives.

I lived in New Mexico the vast majority of my life as recent as 6 years ago. The summers were bad and dangerous, but I’d take it over the humidity I live in now in a heartbeat. In a dry heat shade makes enough difference on its own; combine that with A/C and cold water and you barely even notice it. High 90s in 100% humidity is impossible to escape. Shade, cold water? Doesn’t matter, you can’t escape the heat without tons of A/C, and even then you’ll still feel it.

Lived all over this country. You never get used to the heat/humidity along the gulf of mexico. You learn to endure but its never unnoticeable. Ive worked outside in temps around 105 in Florida with humidity sitting around 80% (the heat index or "what it feels like" was 122) If you arent accustomed to high temperature areas do not go in the middle of summer. Go early spring or mid fall. Get your bearings with cooler temps around 85-95 midday instead of pushing 100+ And most people here are correct, most southerners keep their home ac around 72-75. That feels cool and refreshing.

My manager lives in Louisiana. I was telling her about me replacing my HVAC (I live in Ohio). She was telling me how a few years ago her AC stopped working in summer. She was like “it was pure misery” lol. I couldn’t even imagine.

It was 107 F (41.6C) today. It regularly going between 95 F (35C) to 112 F (44.4C) back and forth from June - August. Our winters also suck, they go between 15F (-9.4C) to -10F (-23.3C) on its extremes. There is a reason AC is so common in USA.

That 117 degree temperature in East St.Louis should have a note on it. E.St.L. sits in the river valley where the air stagnates and gets moist from the Mississippi River running right next door, and the valley covered in crops. It ain’t no picnic during a normal summer………

A decade or so ago there was a heatwave in France and a bunch of people died. In the US when the news covered that, a lot of American's didn't believe it, thought it was fake because in quite a few places over here, temperatures get hotter than in that heatwave every summer. The people over there just didn't know how to cope with the heat properly since they'd never encountered it. Here are a few things that could save your life: 1. Drink water, avoid drinks with sugar, caffeine or alcohol. Those three things _dehydrate_ you. 2. If you have been sweating a lot, eat some slightly salty snacks. Your body uses salt to help regulate water in your body, but too much salt is bad too. So eating a small handful of something like chips (crisps) or something similar WITH a big glass of water can help give your body more of what it used up trying to cool you down with sweat. 3. If you've been out in the sun for many hours without drinking *_DO NO_* drink something super cold. Lowering your body temperature too quickly can be fatal. I would bet money that many of the deaths in France from their heatwave was from heatstroke, which can be caused by doing exactly that. Drinking something super cold while the body is overheated. You need to drink warm or room temperature water at first until you're core temperature has lowered. If you only *have* cold, you have to let it warm up a bit first, put it in the sun a while or something so that it rises in temperature. I know it sucks to let something cold warm up when you would rather drink it cold but, better a little less refreshed than _dead._

@stephenchurch1784

Note on the salt point: sodium is important, but potassium and magnesium are also super important. If you are actually sweating a ton, Gatorade is the way to go. It is literally sweat with a little bit of sugar to help it absorb in the gut. Other electrolyte drinks have different balances, so you need to drink more to get the same benefits. If you don't actually need an electrolyte drink, though, steer clear of it because all you're doing is making your kidneys work harder and adding yet more sugar to your diet

I live in the Midwest. When it gets hot and muggy, the millions of acres of corn create a rainforest effect. Corn draws the moisture from the ground up to its leaves and releases it into the air to cool off via transpiration. This is called “corn sweat.” In the mornings, one can actually see a canopy of heavy fog rising above the corn fields. It truly creates a humidity dome and affects rainfall patterns. Unbearable.

Texan here, don't visit midsummer. Last year and the year before, the corn literally burned on the stalk. My spinach literally boiled in the fields. I mean the leaves turned dark and spongy as if they had been boiled for about 4 miniutes. In 2022 we had 2 months where the weather didn't dip below 105. It wad drier than usual so while the greenery didn't like it, it wasn't as bad as you'd think because we weren't soaking in our sweat as much as usual in the normally crazy central texas humidity. We get freezes in the winter two and the most extreme weather I've been through had three 50+° temperature swings in one day, it was a tornado day though, that's how tonadoes form, hot weather below, cold above, they toilet bowl as they switch positions and you get twisters tearing through the place.

Texas renfest in particular is a wonderful time.

Death Valley is aptly named, it's called that because the valley is shaped like a bowl. This means that heat goes in, but heat does not go out, either, and so it bakes whatever is inside the valley.

Due to this, Death valley is recognized as one of the hottest places, If not the hottest place, on the surface of world. 😊

As someone from Oregon, I went to Texas in August once. It was like 90 degrees, which is "not too bad." On paper. But the HUMIDITY made that temperature absolutely unbearable. Being outside was deadly. We returned to Portland in the middle of a 102-degree heat wave, and a Portland 102 felt COOL AND REFESHING after Texas 90. This year already, we had almost a week of 100+ highs back to back in Yakima Washington. Texas is worse. If 40C with low humidity is exotic to you, Texas in August will be literally dangerous.

A common phrase in Florida is "it's not the heat that will get you, it's the humidity.". Just the other day, it was a normal 95f/37c, but because of the humidity, the weather app also tells you what the weather "feels like" and it was 107f/41.6c. That is just a normal summer day here, and is like that at least 6 months of the year. I wouldn't recommend coming to any US state that is California, Texas, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, or the whole Southeast quadrant from North Carolina South unless it is around March or October. It will bee 95f/37c++ more days than not. For the Northeastern states like New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, I would not recommend going in October-February. It gets below freezing (32f/0)c in the height of winter very often.

I live in Phoenix, which averages more than 100 days of 100F+ weather each year. But the humidity is very low, usually between 7-25%. It's currently 114F with 10% humidity.

Texas: Late September-May depending on the area. North Texas Gets cold during the winter with limited snow, southern and coastal Texas will almost always be mild with VERY OCCASIONAL cold.

This month, Fresno California had 13 days in a row at or above 105°F. Las Vegas reached 115°F or higher for seven consecutive days and 10 days at 110 or hotter. Last year, Phoenix Arizona went 31 days in a row over 110°F, and 54 days total during the year. Nighttime temperatures in many hot parts of the West don't drop below the mid-70s. You can't get relief from it.

Native New Yorker here, and still here, NYC summers are awful. It is very hot but also very very humid. When you step outside it feels like you’re stepping into everyone’s collective sweat and grime of the city. NYC used to experience real winter, I remember snow piled 7 feet high along the gutter and sidewalks as I went to school. Now we’re lucky if it sticks to the ground for more than an hour and not immediately melt. Currently we have been having temps between 85-95 for weeks now. There is no relief here other than going indoors into air conditioning. This is a concrete jungle, there is no escape under trees, no lakes, or rivers to dunk into. Almost every beach within the city is overcrowded and nasty, especially after a heavy rainstorm. DO NOT COME IN THE SUMMER. Best time is probably the fall/Autumn.

Actually Death Valley's name was coined when a group of '49'ers' decided to take a short cut to California and got lost. Since it was winter and the regular trail to the California gold fields were more then likely snowed in (this was a year after the Donner Party's ill fated journey) they decided to attempt a southern route roughly following the Old Spanish Trail. They camped about a mile from Furnace Creek on Christmas Eve. The average temperature at Furnace Creek in December is 64° F. Hyperthermia would have been a greater threat then heat stroke, especially at the higher elevations. One member of the group died due to dehydration, not heat, ironic since in Death Valley ar any given time one is no more then 24 miles from a water source. All of the oxen and pack animals died from a lack of water or were killed for food. The group all believed that the valley would be their grave. When they were finally lead through the Panamints one of the members of the party looked back at the valley and said "goodbye death valley". The name stuck.

Honestly, if you’re planning on going to Texas at any point between June to August, it will be hot, humid, and miserable. If you’re closer to the gulf (like Houston area), you gotta be wary of hurricanes during that time as well. They’re terrifying. Many areas of Texas have local laws that consider A/C failures during the summer to be considered an emergency. Having a working cooling system is essential for survival.

I've learned a hack for converting temperatures from imperial to metric and back. Begin at the point water freezes (0°C = 32°F). For every +/-5°C = +/-9°F. So 5°C will equal 41°F, then 10°C will equal 50°F. 15 = 59, 20 = 68, 25 = 77, etc. All temperatures in between I estimate. This is a quick shorthand temp conversion without needing a calculator or other app. Hope it helps.

Even a few degrees can really make a difference.

Officially, from weather,gov, the top 5 hottest days ever in Phoenix in recorded history (back more than 100 years) are 122 in 1990, 121 in 1995, 120 in 1990, and 119 (two days in 2023). So once you are below the hottest 5 days in history you are below 119 degrees. But, we do get a lot of days between 110 and 116. That is pretty common. Also, everyone’s backyard thermometer or car thermometer always reads hotter. Especially due to the hot asphalt. So everyone exaggerates and thinks it is always hotter than it is. But 120+ is still not common in Phoenix.

American here. Native of Nebrraska, but spent 27 years in New Hampshire. Yeah......I have been to Texas in February and the highs were in the 80's. That was Dallas/Fort Worth area in 1996. Take that for what you will. Also, March thru June is peak tornado season in the Midwest. I would honestly visit in the fall. Still warm enough to enjoy, but dodges tornado and excessive heat seasons. Anytime between September and early December is best IMHO.

I grew up in Michigan but lived in California for about a year. Anyway, I travelled from California to Texas, passing through Arizona during the summertime. The air conditioner in my car was broken and I had my puppy in the back seat. I made a stop at a gas station. I was worried my pup or myself was going to get a heat stroke or pass out or something. It was that hot. I was literally getting dizzy while on the freeway and was trying to find a gas station asap. And rolling down the windows didn’t even help. It just felt like a heater blowing in your face. Thankfully, the gas station had air conditioning. I carried my pup in with me (he couldn’t walk on the pavement of course since it would’ve burned his paws) and I ended up getting a bag of ice. I dumped it in my pup’s kennel and kept a little ice for myself to keep us cool. That helped a lot. I also made frequent stops at gas stations so we could cool down in the air conditioned place. I will never forget that heat. That was the hottest temperature I’ve ever experienced in my life, and I know there are places that get hotter than that.

Sleep during the day, drive at night.

It's not only the heat but the humidity and "dewpoint" (The temperature it would have to be for the water in the air to start condensing and forming droplets) with these high temperatures. When the dewpoints start reaching in the 70+ F range, you can sweat, but it doesn't evaporate and you don't cool down so without air conditioning, these heat waves can result in many deaths due to the bodies overheating. I've been in 110 F with low humidity and dewpoint and would take that over some 98 degree days I've seen in the east and southeast where NOTHING will cool you off. It literally feels like you're in a sauna of steam when you walk out the door.

As a north dakotan people still talk about 1936. Our state went from -51°C to 49°C in five months. People would sleep by sloughs cuz it was a little cooler by the waters but because of the mosquitoes people had massive histamine reactions along with dehydration and heat stroke. Hundreds of north dakotas died. We are better at dealing with the cold. We can get a polar vortex the has flash frozen foxes and skunks along the side of roads, frozen mid step.

Where I grew and spent a large portion of my life, when the summer temps get down to 99 degrees F/37 C, the weatherpersons start talking about how cool it is outside and have a nice reprieve from the heat. Thank God it is a dry heat, so it feels like you are walking around in a dryer. Heat stroke is common especially with all the A/Cs creating what feels like freezing temps inside buildings. Come to America in March, it is generally nice still then, but some places are still getting snow in spring. Yes, you heard that 117 F is correct. In Northern California, we wouldn't consider that a heat wave. It happens quite a bit! Hence the fact that we have a fire season because the heat dries out the grasses and forest floors creating kindling for fires. This is the reason California was named the Golden State, not because of the Gold that was found there in the early 1900s. Just so you know, once it gets over a hundred it is miserable, once it gets over a hundred and six you really can't tell that it is getting hotter. It is just hot! Growing up we didn't have the modern-day A/Cs. We had this thing called a swamp cooler (it doesn't work in areas where there is high humidity, so my Georgia neighbors have never heard of it) It pumps air and water through it. The water cools down the air as it blows it into the house. It can only cool a house down around 20 degrees, so our houses growing up were always in the high 90s to 100 F. Our cars had what my parents called the 4 window air conditioner. That means no A/C just all four windows rolled down. My current car has that kind as it is old, and at 60 years old I drive around Atlanta Georgia with my windows down and the sunroof open. Add humidity to the 90-degree F temps and... Well I hermit as much as possible. But I still do venture out quite a bit. By the way, we Americans know how nice your weather is, that is why we are moving there in flocks.

Here in Missouri recently we had temperatures reach 94-98 degrees with a heat index of 110-114 degrees, which means the air temp can be 97 but when you add 80% humidity to the mix the feels like temp is 108 plus, the humidity makes things worse it's like being in a sauna

Just FYI, America has the highest recorded temperature ever. It hit 134.1F / 56.7 C. In Death Valley in 1913 Now the hottest ever recorded with more modern instruments was also in Death Valley, 129.2F / 54C in 2013. Modern instruments are standardized, older ones weren't. So it's possible older recorded could be off by about +/- 3c. The US also has the highest recorded heat while it was raining. 119f / 48.3c in California in 2018. The highest month long average temperature (July 2018) at 42.3C/108.1F (this includes day and night). The fastest temperature DROP, dropping 27C / 49F in 5 MINUTES. This happened in South Dakota in 1911 (so old and can be slightly off). Going from -48C / -56F (fun fact -40C = -40f), to 9C / 48F. The greatest 2 minute temperature INCREASE 27C / 49F (yes, same numbers as above). Also South Dakota but 8n 1943. Plus the greatest 24 hour increase rising 54C/ 102F this happened in Montana in 1972 Most heat records are either in the Southern US or Middle East like they have the hottest night time temperature every. These two places are about the same latitude also, which is big contributing factor of why both are so hot.

Native Texan here. We're lucky if we get only nine months of summer, and 3 of winter. And yes, absolutely, stay the fuck away during late summer and fall. Even into December, the temperature can get into the 90s. And the weather can turn on a goddamn dime. I have a story I love to tell people about how, in winter, I woke up to 80F weather, and in the afternoon, I was driving in whiteout snow.

The best time to visit the USA is mid-to-late spring or mid-fall. It’s neither too hot nor too cold, plants are blooming, and there are festivals and farmers markets going on.

As someone who was born in August and lived in Texas my whole life, DO NOT visit Texas in August. The temperature is regularly over 100 degrees and the humidity in the central, coastal, and eastern areas can make it feel like it’s over 110 degrees, while the western areas are dryer but have higher temps. And overnight can stay in the 80s. The end of November is when we usually get our first cold snap dropping temps to 60s or 70s.

New York City traps heat in summer and winter, not much snow. New York City is known for its urban heat island effect, which causes it to trap heat and be warmer than surrounding areas. This is due to several factors: 1. Heat Generation: NYC's buildings, boilers, and vehicles generate a significant amount of heat. 2. Heat Absorption: The city's manufactured surfaces, like roofs and roads, absorb and retain heat. 3. Lack of Vegetation: NYC has less vegetation than other areas, which can help cool down temperatures. Additionally, the city's tall buildings can block wind and trap heat, further contributing to the urban heat island effect. This can lead to health problems like heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and increased air pollution. New York sucks

The jet stream affects the weather in the US, especially in NY and NJ because it moves around a lot. I live in Central NJ and our weather will be a bit different than my mom who lives an hour south, especially in winter.

Here in NC it rarely gets over 100° F but most of the state is basically wetlands, so the humidity is absolutely _brutal_ - like, >80%. So it "only" gets into the mid-high 90s but it sticks to you and your sweat does absolutely nothing.

Being acclimated has a lot to do with what you can tolerate. I used to spent days and months in 100+F temperatures on patrol as a deputy sheriff wearing body armor. On any number of occasions, I had to be out on the ground for an hour or more working. Before that, I was a firefighter, and of course many brush fires happened in 100F weather. And that's wearing heavy protective clothing. I did okay then. I'm much older now and would not try it again. But i still can do light work and things like mowing with a tractor, though it is very wearing. But I grew up in high heat and humidity. Likely you would not enjoy it. One problem is that much of the south and east of Texas also has high humidity, greatly increasing the "feels like" heat index. While much of West Texas is dry. In the Big Bend region, it gets as hot as in Austin, but the humidity is very low. Dessert conditions. So if you step into the shade it feels instantly cooler. But people get in trouble because they don't know they are sweating away a lot of water, far more than at home. In the Big Bend, it evaporates too quickly to be aware of it. If they don't force themselves to drink constantly, they may well end up with a serious heat injury. And those who travel only to the coastal beeches do alright, since they're wearing few clothes, and there's an almost constant breeze off the water. Save the visit for spring or fall, like October. But Texas weather is notoriously variable. Hot one day and freezing rain the next. Forecasts more than a few days out cannot be believed. You take you chances and come ready for anything. Remember what Civil War General Phil Sheridan said. "If I owned Hell and Texas, I'd live in Hell and rent out Texas."

Not only is it hot and humid in Texas in August, you may encounter hurricanes if you're near the coast. Check out a video on Hurricane Beryl.

One of thejj craziest things is, we get the triple didget heats EVERYWHERE in the USA. Not just the south (its just more normal there). I live in Wisconsin and its normal for us to get an annual heat wave that gets us triple digits. In the Winter though, it can be the Arctic with -20 or lower temps. These temp changes do major damage to roads and infrastructure due to the expansion and contracting.

Born and raised Texan, please DO NOT come here in August! It is so hot you wouldn’t be able to enjoy anything outdoors at all. It can be genuinely dangerous to be out in August if you are not used to hot temps. I recommend March-April definitely. If you do end up coming down here, I would love to give you some awesome places to visit! Been all over the state throughout my life. It’s a great state if you know when and how to travel!

I'm from Texas, Summer is around 9 months long. The heat is oppressive. We all learn to move from shade to shade. We move slowly in the shade, and quickly in the sun. I've experienced 100'F on Christmas Day! I have fried an egg on a car's hood, without fire. In the summer, you never have to worry about a killer hiding in the backseat of your car. When you leave the house you are soaking wet with sweat as soon as you open the door and step out. I would run to the car, and start the air-conditioner and then run back into the house and wait 5 minutes.

I was born and raised in South Texas and my family still lives there. It's 100F+ every day in July-August. The only place to escape the heat is tubing in a river or staying inside. My Grandparents had a ranch south of San Antonio and never had air-conditioning. This was in the 50's and 60's. The house was surrounded by rather large live oak trees that kept shade on the house providing some relief.

Temperatures reaching well over 100° fahrenheit is an almost daily occurrence in some parts of the US. This is WHY we have air conditioners.

The highest temperature ever recorded in the US was in the norther mojave desert. We call it Death Valley. It reached 134.7°F once in 1913 and again in 2022

My father was in the USAF, and we were stationed in northern Germany for 3 years. At 10 years old, we came back to the US (to NE Arkansas) in June. Going from the Eiffel mountains, then walking outside the airport in Memphis, I felt like someone had hit me on the head with a hammer. I think it was in the low 80s when we left Frankfort, and about 105 when we arrived in Memphis.
