i was in encino friday -- at 113º i went swimming in an 87º pool to cool off and ended up with all sorts of weird breathing trubbles.

I got pretty used to it being in the 110-115º F range, but now it's in the high 80s/late 90s. If it were 5-10º cooler, I would adore it, but as it stands it just feels like the weather is TEASING me. "It could be Fall, but....naw. Haha."

It's October 1, 10:53 PM and it's still 70 degrees. And tomorrow's high is forecasted to be 80. I am ANGRY and I want searing, skin-shattering cold. I have since summer began. I even wanted it in February when we had weeks of record lows.

As my father always used to say, "You can always put on more layers in winter." (In summer you can only get so naked and still be miserable.)
Believe me, anyone I encounter in the dead soupy heat of summer has their lives in danger.

I complain about too hot when the snow starts to melt. Not being contrary for its own sake, but summer makes me cranky, miserable, and depressed. I stay inside next to the A/C that is cranked to the coldest setting.
Like so many people in Chicago I have radiators with a mind of their own, so even when it's 10 degrees outside, I open the windows and let the wind in.

Fall is wonderful. Though I don't appreciate how summer is encroaching on it. But in its purest form it is delightful--cool, sometimes sunny, sometimes drizzly, and the smells are the best.

O hi. I am going to bitch here now.
The A/C completely died in our office suite. It's 87 degrees here and hotter inside. It looks like we will have to replace the entire system since fixing it would be an epic undertaking. I'm so fucking hot.
It's like being in the South again--high 80s in October--WTF.

There's an old Frontline episode (I think it originally aired in 2000) where a climate denying scientist says even if it happens, global warming isn't a big deal because people prefer hot weather. Thought about that guy today and if he's still alive I hope he's f-ing roasting outside.

My mom, who lives in the woods in NJ, texted to tell me it was 89 degrees near her yesterday but her little house wasn't hot enough to require the AC yet. Meanwhile, it was 47 degrees when I went out to pick up lunch (tacos al pastor). 47 degrees. In June. The heat in my apartment came on last night. Summer is gonna be about six weeks long here, I think - mid July to end of August, and it'll be snowing again by October.

He died in 2020:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Singer
From the Frontline episode:
FRED SINGER: We have to ask what are the impacts of a warmer climate? What is the impact on agriculture? The answer is, it's positive. It's good. What's the impact on forests of greater levels of CO2 and greater temperatures? It's good. What is the impact on water supplies? It's neutral. What is the impact on recreation? It's mixed. You get, on the one hand, perhaps less skiing. On the other hand, you get more sunshine and maybe better beach weather.Let's face it, people like warmer climates. There's a good reason why much of the U.S. population is moving into sun belt, and not just people who are retiring.

Geniune question - you don't find it depressing?! I used to love rainy days but I'm at my fucking wits end here. This is not a summer. The sun was out for 1 hour yesterday and I was happy by the afternoon I was ready to sleep it all away again. This is just so miserable this year.

I guess if you grow up here you're used to it. I used to defend UK weather but I stg the sun came out more 20 years ago. It completely sucks now. It's just so grim all the time.

xps to ENBB
there was a stunning thunderstorm here yesterday, the heaviest rain I've seen in a long time - it was awesome - the kind of weather that makes me happy. Hot sunny days make me lethargic and long sustained periods of hot summer weather (thankfully a rarity in the UK) always seem to coincide with periods of depression, and heatwaves are an absolute nightmare to me, torture. That 40° + day a couple of years back, I had all the curtains drawn and windows shut and was just about coping with a fan cooling me and then I had to do some cooking and didn't have a microwave at the time. lol, I was on the verge of crying.

Yesterday had more than 1hr of sun but it was all in the AM - luckily I was on Hampstead Heath supervising a whippet zoom call, so got vitamin D and endorphins.
I’m going to Washington and Annapolis in about 10 days to see friends and part of me is dreading the extremes of heat and humidity.

something that doesn't bode well for me. i was out today a little bit and i REALLY don't like breathing in extremely hot air. it has gotten worse as i have aged. it never used to bother me much. i don't know if it has anything to do with being a smoker for so many years. my lungs are healthy. it just really makes me breathe heavy and takes the wind out of me in a way that it never used to. maybe that's why Walgreens sells little portable oxygen tanks now.
