Summer Heat

So the last few days , this is how I felt whenever I left my house.

How about you folks? And how have you been cooling yourself off?

Give me all the gory details.
 
Shanghai: Hot and Humid.

Running two ACs in the Kindergarten to no avail. I have to shower after my shower.
 
I laughed hard at OP.

Been getting 100 F heatwave that's finally (allegedly) going to break this week... thanks to constant storms. Until then, trying to run the AC only moderately; I don't want to see a huge bill.
 
Pfft, pansies, it feels like that everyday in Phoenix between June and September every year.
With 60% or higher humidity?

I just didn't bother leaving the house until well after dark. Even then it was still in the low 80s with oppressive humidity. :mad:
 
Yep, was gonna say, welcome rest of the nation to summertime in Central Cali. Only at least WE don't have that freakin' awful humidity to go with it too! :cool:

Edit: Damn you, Ninja Audit! And your damned Pirates too for kicking my Giants' ass! :(
 
Cheesy - I'm not exactly sure where Turlock is so forgive me if this is a dumb question. Do you guys get Santa Ana winds there? That was some hot and dry weather!! I used to lose my voice when the humidity got below 10%.
 
It's been fun watching the weather for where we are now (hot and freaking humid!) to where we are moving to early next week (about as hot, often hotter, but dry!) The current place does not have AC which is just delightful, while the new place does. So cooling off now - ice cubes in strategic locations. Next week at this time - AC FTW!

And the heat doesn't bug me that much, I mean I spent 2.5 weeks in Egypt in late June 2 summers ago, and it was hella hot there (120+F) and it wasn't that bad.
 
I went to visit my mother in Michigan last week it was 94 and 65% humidity. She has no AC. I ended up having to come home early as I started getting symptoms of heat stroke.

People laugh at the cliche "It's not the heat, it's the humidity" but I've been to areas with dry heat and I'll take 110 and 10% humidity over 85 and 60% humidity any day.

In the valley, due east of San Jose and halfway between Sacramento and Fresno.

It's always either too hot or too cold inside my house and it pisses me off.
 
I freaking love the heat. I seem to be in the minority, but damn, I'm so glad it was over 30 today.
Fuck you! I'm still north and it's supposed to hit 38 tomorrow. THIS ISN'T COOL. Literally.[DOUBLEPOST=1341812632][/DOUBLEPOST]

Fuckin' humidity doesn't help either. It rains every night and clears up by morning not letting the humidity get below 60%.

It's unfuckingreal how terrible the heat has been up here for the last week or so.[DOUBLEPOST=1341812773][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yeah, you in Phoenix don't deal with winters that go near to -40 degrees either. Trying acclimatizing to that kind of change.

Also, isn't Phoenix dry?

Moral of my story?

I'm hot and I hate it and I'm calling the waaaaaambulance.

Hot, humid and heavy to a degree where I'm praying for a good, long, hard thunderstorm.

Oh, and guess what? I can't really take a cooling shower with my kidney drain. Vittu perkele saatana jumalauta! :mad:
 
All is right in the world recently. It's a balmy 25 C at noon hour, with a delightful 12 C at night the past few days.

Ugh, western provinces are getting absolutely baked. It's like some terrible nightmare. Today is gonna be so shitty. I'm just gonna siesta the day away I think to avoid the ultra heat.[DOUBLEPOST=1341841481][/DOUBLEPOST]And it fuckin' rained again last night.

FUCK YOU EARTH!

Rain during the day you shit head. Stop this no clouds day, raining night bullshit.
 
All the posers in here. I live in FLORIDA, in the middle of a flood.

I get three digit temperatures, 100% humidity, and apocalyptic amounts of mosquitoes.
 
That's why I don't live in Florida. I'm a northerner (though our mosquitoes for the last couple of years have been so bad that in some fields around town you can see swarming clouds of them forming what look like black tornadoes, so I understand apocalyptic mosquitoes), I live in the north because I like winter. I like the cold.

I miss the mosquito trucks spraying clouds of poison through Pasco County

It was pretty hot in Calgary last night... I had to move my two kids into the master bedroom where we have the only air conditioner because they just couldn't get to sleep from how hot it was.

And thanks to SATW, I now know one of those words. Guess I can put "multilingual" on my resume now!

Anyway, yeah. Texas here. Nuff said. At least our state hasn't burst into flames yet like it did last year.

Although, creepily enough, the Waldo Canyon Fire in colorado got within a block of my old apartment.

I got home at dusk a few days ago, and was witness to those big black clouds swarming around my car. It was like a horror movie.

Hopefully, now that the river has crested, it will start to go down, opening the roads for the poison trucks.
 
Warm and humid, but nothing special here. Too stormy and rainy, mainly.
Of course, I'm working nights at the moment and that means I get to sleep in warm and humid, so that's a downer.

However, my shower's broken and has been for days, so I have to go to work to shower :-(
 
This has actually been a cool summer so far. But it is mostly because we've had tropical humidity and rain in place for the last month.

Until last week I didn't have a vehicle with air conditioning. I don't usually mind the heat, but driving in it was a bitch. Now it's a cool 85 degrees...
 
I'll tell you what, 100 F is hot no matter where in NA you live. It's especially nuts when you're just south of the 60th parallel, much closer to the arctic circle than the equator.
