Our town got the top honors for being the hottest place in the states, yesterday, toped out at 115*. Needless to say I stayed inside all day.

Rick, we are half way between Ft. Smith and Little Rock on IH 40. Approx, 70 miles to each city.

We just got a good shower in the last hour. Temp 75*.
Stay cool down your way.

You may be correct. I only quoted what I read in the paper. I know it was 112*, in my back yard, in the shade, yesterday afternoon.

I really feel for you all! We here are acclimated to it and expect it to be 110+ all summer but like said we are acclimated to it in the Sonoran desert, when it hits places like yours where it's not common people die from heat stroke and dehydration! Just keep in mind you will sweat out a pint of water an hour in 110* heat! So keep hydrated a pint or more am hour if your out working in it, and wear cotton so you will keep the sweat close to your body to keep you cool, and my most important advice, if you don't have to pee! Your not drinking enough water, please check on your elderly relatives and neighbors, it's doubly hard on them!

we are mid 90s this week, but with almost 100% humidity. The heat index is 115 today with the humidity.

Got to keep plenty of fluids in hand.

I worked in the Sahara Desert in the late 60's and early 70's. The temp at times would reach close to 120*. It was a dry heat and didn't bother me like this heat, here in Arkansas, with this high humidity, does.

Yeah we don't get the real high humidity, 60% is a normal aug for us so it's dry enough to function, but I don't know how you can do it at 90%+ with 110 that's just brutal!
