too effing hot

lovely rain yesterday here in the warmth, whilst i sat under a pub umbrella reading my book. very relaxing.

that sounds pretty dope tbh, it was kind of just on the threshold of warm and muggy here today

Goddamn, I thought I had it bad with 80 at 5:30 a.m. Seriously, this shit has got to go.

apparently no rain in sight for the next week in NY

You NYers have my sincere sympathies. That completely blows. :(

i am an idiot. i ran six miles outside this morning (88F /31C ) and gave myself heat exhaustion. now the whole damn day is shot, and my temp is still 101. :(

I feel like I've been through worse than it is right now? But maybe I'm thinking of the compiled effect of my years without any AC. I was a latecomer to the world of "SHUT THE DOOR, YOU'RE LETTING THE COLD OUT."

It actually feels cool outside today. its only 89.

It's a crisp 50 degrees F in Newfoundland today, with a wind chill of 46. On June 29.

gah that sounds awesome

at least it's not so humid here anymore, still 91º

kinda sick of this, actually.

Sacramento at 95. Just enough to get me excited about getting back to Portland soon. Woke up way too warm.

i like winter

winter can def be where it's at sometimes.

I was in LA this past weekend and it was amazing, like low 70's and sunny with a nice breeze. It's fucking hot in Denver. 97F outside right now. Although at least it's dry heat, which is preferably any day over humidity.

Sacramento sux when it's this hot. Air conditioner preset was ready to kick in when we left for work at 7am...we have it set to 78 deg. :(

london today is so fucking humid...jesus god

I've been in the middle of the Med, sunning self on small yacht just off Maltese coast for most of today. 95F and not a single cloud in the sky. Back to hot London on Thursday night.

I may or may not have a sunburn.

Vegemite can you help direct me twrds the most ac'd bar in town?

89degrees, 53%humidity in Atl right now. It's the least punishing weather we've had in a while, otherwise it's been a world of pain!

i remember how grim and tenacious this winter was => not into complaining about any heat. much rather have this.

xxpost...bear, this'll sound hella lame but the River City Brewery at K-Street mall. It's huge, has a concrete floor and it's not usually wall to wall people. I sat out a couple of 100+ Sundays there watching football on tv when our ac broke in our apartment a few years back...nice and cool. Only downside is it's in the zombie mall.

Otherwise Streets of London is pretty well ac/d ...but only if it's not packed with people.

Awesome. Thanks VG. Was at Streets of London yesterday for a bit. Ended up playing basketball today instead which started to feel like a terrible idea. Might be time to hit that mall.

Basketball? Clearly the heat has addled your brain...get thee to the bar!!

I'M GOING TO START HITTING THINGS

yup.

??? its 77 in london?

abt 18C now

well apparently it's 14C here, I claim bullshit cuz that hasn't prevented me from having to strip off in order to maybe be able to concentrate well enough to read.

proxima laptauri be radiatin'

I feel like if I moved to London I would have some sort of evolutionary advantage where I would still be able to work at 100% long after the rest of the city had melted itself into nothingness during a 22C day

I was outside way too much today. I feel like I got beat up by the sun.

remember homes in europe don't have a/c xp. 77 is not hot, but it's not particularly pleasant to try to sleep in. 85 here without a/c at 2am. gross.

There seems to be a tipping point in London around 26-27C where things get very unpleasant very quickly - pretty awful on public transport and in offices with no or inadequate A/C (power tripped out in ours again on Friday; machine room often reaches 45C...dash of our car gets to 61C). What's happening right now is pretty unusual even for this southeastern corner of the UK - I'd guess something like 13-14 straight days of unbroken sun (ok, it rained briefly last Tuesday) with another 4-5 days forecast; the odd day into the 30s is not exceptional but dry spells like this are very un-British.

Memories of '76...

The truly remarkable heat wave was in late June and early July. For 15 consecutive days from 23 June to 7 July inclusive, temperatures reached 90°F (32.2°C) somewhere in England on each of these 15 days.
Parts of the south west went 45 days without any rain in July and August.

this is great rly

tonight especially w/ a steady breeze

TRAITOR

I've actually enjoyed this spell and I'm no sun-worshipper. I think it has a lot to do with Tube-less commutes, getting seats on trains and the radical decision to wear shorts to work. First time in seven years. I look no better than in 2003 but perhaps I care less.

it's going to be 37C here on monday :~)

the english climate may not be underrated but there were a few days last week which were just sublime, mid twenties, moderate humidity, alternately gauzily cloudy and brightly sunlit

not sure there is better weather than that

^^^I can get behind this, although there's something about a certain quality of unbroken sunshine that pushes me into a deeply psychedelic childhood-retentive state where nothing can possibly be bad in the world

93 or 'better' the next 4-5 days in NY

We got a break from the crushing heat with a relaxing hurricane... days and days of clouds and rain, love it.

fabulous today in Paris, 19C now, high of 28C today, blue sky, a little breeze. But it was hellish during the week: it hit 35C on Friday, and without air conditioning it becomes hard to think under those circumstances. And the trains are brutal when it's like that: even the good-looking people don't look good bathing in sweat (not to mention the stink). It'll be just under 30C for the high all week, which though a bit hotter than I'd like is still totally fine; over 30's where it gets rough. And yeah, compared to most of the places in the USA I've lived this is nothing, but in all those places we had air con & rode in cars rather than trains.

this is more like it
