    Since April 1st we have had less than 1/2 of an inch rainfall. East Tennessee. Weather.com is showing no sign of rain into Oct. Good news is the 4Runner has a great AC on it.:help:

    What you're experiencing is far from extreme heat. Modern vehicles are more then pepared to handle this type of environment.

    Waiting for the people who live in the real desert to chime in.

    92 degrees is extreme?

    We’re on our 60th day of over 90 degrees tying records. And no rain in sept., tying records. It’s not humid here. But I find myself going north to shop FOR the higher humidity. Let it be known I usually drive a four cylinder corolla so it’s not my fault....
