100-105 F here in NW IL. For almost a week now. Very, very rare, and very very uncomfortable. Just two small a/c units, one upstairs in bedroom, one downstairs. I turn the downstairs one on when I get up (early), then husband turns the bedroom one on (upstairs) after supper to make it reasonable comfortable to sleep. It is just miserable, as nothing and no one is used to this kind of heat. Heck, we've had summers where it barely reached the low 80s and we never put in the a/c units. Even restaurants and other public places are having a hard time keeping up, and now places in the country who rely on propane tanks are in danger of explosions. The area just isn't prepared for this amount of heat for this long. Weather-wise, the past 12 mos have been very strange, not just in the US but world-wide.
