I'm actually really looking forward to this week cuz the humidity's gonna be low

Euler, is there no AC in Parisian train cars? Our (Chicago) trains and buses are air conditioned. I've happened upon a train cars with broken AC and the ride was unbearable. I can't imagine that being the norm.

afaik there is no AC in Paris metros; in the RER a few trains have it but I've noticed lately those trains have been few & far between. I've been on 6 trains in Paris so far today & none had AC, though it's fine today; about 26C right now. But at 35C it was really awful, esp. on the RER A which is Europe's busiest line & (yay) part of my typical commute; typical trip looks like this:

95 degrees in NYC today ...

humidity actually quite tol'able

Ugh, in Paris on Monday, hotel had no AC.

The subte in Buenos Aires doesn't have A/C, and in the summer it is brutal, especially during rush hour.

I <3 u, USA.

Kind of suprised I didnt post to this thread during that freak heatwave we had where we had 2 days of 45+ degrees and then a 48C (118F) day, and then half of victoria got flattened by fires.

Do not want to go outside

the humidex is at 37C/99F and its not even 9am.

I ran a shit ton of errands yesterday when it was 90F/32C and wouldn't you know, managed to catch a train with broken AC. Brutal.

it was 104 at BWI today and it's still 100. i wanna go do something like get groceries because i am bored & want to eat chicken but what if my flesh cooks when i go outside

Don't risk it. Stay inside where it's safe.

stayed inside all day. haven't put clothes on at all.
should go out and get some w33d and stop by the store to get my paycheck and then go to the bank, but I can't imagine mustering the energy.

See previous post.

i am bored & want to eat chicken but what if my flesh cooks

answered your own question eh?

i don't get it like i am a chicken and maybe i can just eat my own flesh?

i have an awards thingy i wanted to get to in about 30 minutes - but i am dreading the bike ride there.

not a great day to have a job interview : /

Great day to go out of town and visit my mum and her swimming pool!

Tourists stood outside today, in 104 degree weather, in a line that was a block long.
Just to take a picture of a guy that makes cakes.
Tourists really are fascinating creatures.

I was out for most of today, didn't think it was that bad, dry heat is great

Take it to the "I Love Dry Heat" thread, buddy.

all i want to eat is creamsicles but now i feel sick bcuz all i ate was creamsicles

being awake is really unpleasant at this temp but it is impossible to sleep how about that

we camped for 4th of July weekend, so like good responsible grownups we turned the AC off while we were gone. Not that I would do anything differently, but UGH last night was awful, I think the house has only just started to cool down now. Combination of ac/whole-house-fan/ceiling fans and we were sitting around sweating like pigs. These old un-insulated houses, goddamm do they suck up the heat. Crikey.

i'm afraid my window unit is gonna die while i sleep, leaving me to blanch in my own sweat until waking up... only to enter a conscious heat nightmare

East coast USA weather made the national news this morning. :( It sounds miserable out there!

Lake Shore Drive was closed for 8 hours the other day because the road was "buckling." That's the downside of a climate that follows several months of freeze with several months of extreme heat.

How humid is it out east? Yesterday in Chicago it was only 90 or so, but so humid it felt like wet death. So I went to the pool, which is what you do when it's really hot (hint to NYC).

Miserable. We have AC in bedroom and thankfully I work in a big cool office. But the time between leaving the bedroom in the AM and actually getting to work, is a time that my brain just shuts down and blocks out everything so I can go somewhere else in my mind.

i am basically just sitting here, sweating. why did i decide to drink hot coffee? it makes me not able to eat, too. just a parade of horribles

you mean harbls

:)

great day to have a summer cold and to go to the dentist!

so humid it felt like wet death.

Today, too. I know we'd be in for it when the news anchor on NPR kept repeating the word "steamy." Especially since she is the one who describes days in the high 80s as "delightful." Everything about me is limp, except for my hair, which grew three sizes this day.

the humidity is rolling in. : (

Hot, muggy and overcast in London today - and the kind of weather where gnats hitchhike places in your hair. GAAAAAH.

Yeah the heat puts me right off the idea of any food other than sorbet and margaritas. If I had no AC I'd probably lose 15 lbs; unfortunately, artificially cooled air allows me to eat normal human food with a near-normal appetite.

I've never entirely believed that crap about dry heat, but for a couple of days last week it could say 82 degrees on my air cond thermostat and it was still reasonably comfy if lightly dressed (without running AC). Lately, though, it says 82 or 83 and I feel like dying.

spend large parts of the year in a high humidity place where 75 degrees @ 100% humidity feels completely awful and 100 degree w/ 30% humidity (yesterday) will feel like a gift sent from God

Humidity of 95% for London at 7am tomorrow, falling to 92% by 10am. Enjoy your Tube rides everyone, I'm walking.

boys are dying on these streets

In Windsor, it is currently 35C/95F but feels like 43C/109F with the humidity. I have a fan but barely feel like moving.

Montreal is not so happy a place to be at the moment.

oh man - iirc Windsor can get REALLY humid.
