Long Heatwave Coming PA/NJ

[Category 5]

I remember because I took high temps during the period and recorded the highs on my calendar (I still do during heat waves)

I hope that rain beats it by tommorow morning. I have plans at the shore.

We've had a 2 day break (minus the nasty humidity, dew points in the low to mid 70s) But it's back and worse then before.

Hope the AC works in the car, because it's disgusting.

[Category 5]

Last nights low... 80!

[angelwing]

Turning the AC on causes the "service Engine Light Soon" to come on and then the speedometer cable stays at zero, I turn off the AC and the light goes off and the cable moves, so no AC.

Was just out, it's brutal in NJ today

New York area got some heavy rain this morning. Some areas go over 3" of rain. The rain will make the heat worse, by making the air more humid. I feel for them, because this happens a lot in Texas.

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year at 98.
