fuck a hot

― PappaWheelie V,

Yikes!!!

fuck watching a hot

Feels Like: 111°

in baltimore waaaahhhhhh ;_;

When I let the cold tap run in my bathroom sink, the water gets warmer, not colder.

I been drinking ice water constantly all day long, and the past few days whenever I break the ice out of the tray it starts to melt instantly before i can get it in the cup.

so rong

wait. is that supposed to be hot?

it is pretty hot for 2am, yes

81 degrees at 4:11 a.m. (downtown brooklyn)

Ugly situation around here. Went up into the attic at 7 this morning to make sure the central air ductwork wasn't leaking cold air. It's okay until about 4 p.m., but then the front rooms of the (west-facing) house get it full blast, they get up close to 90 even with the AC working as hard as it can. The loss of our big shady oaks probably tacks on $50/month to our electric bill in the summer.

that isnt the heat index btw

looks familiar

I think this is the first year we haven't had either had a crappy air conditioner or a broken one.

sorry if i missed it, but for what area is that horrid forecast?

Yes, please tell us so that we can studiously avoid going there.

arkansas. im sure texas and mississippi are pretty much in the same boat.

To be safe, I will avoid all three.

We're about 4-5 degrees cooler than Arkansas, but yeah, still a bad scene. Got an email this morning from my client south of San Jose -- it was 48 and drizzly there. AGHHH

update from Newfoundland: saw my breath walking home last night.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, listen. I lived in North Carolina where it barely went below 80 many summer nights (and I once saw morning fog when it was 85) and I lived in New Orleans where it was worse. But I live in Chicago, Illinois, near the lake even, and it's still 82 at 11:00 p.m. and it's been like this for weeks. This is just hateful.

i went to screening of sublime freqs doc on ethiopia and the director said you can only travel from north to south there at night because tires melt during the day

what the goddamn hell

this is my dream

I even wore a scarf on my walk to work today.

How delightful. *wistful sigh*

Was biking in to work today along the lakefront, there's a big time & temperature sign in front of Cleveland Public Power. It was 79F at 8:08am. :(

Going to Cleveland tomorrow; I'll pack accordingly.

kate, it's super, super humid. Biking in this morning was like riding through pea soup. And the heat index is about 4-5 degrees higher than the actual temperature.

it hasn't rained in massachusetts in about a month...my once beautiful lawn looks like straw.

brb, moving to Newfoundland

It's actually not supposed to be that bad here for the next few days. Thank god. I am so ready for Fall.

this shit is ridiculous

R-I-D-I-N-A-S

Every day I look at the 6-10 day and 8-14 day outlook maps, hoping they'll be different. ;_;

ps, fuck you n and s dakota

Accuweather has a monthly forecast, which I love, because even though the predicted temperatures are mostly in the 90s, I can look ahead to the historical averages and see that Sept. 1 is historically when temps first drop into the 70s, and this gives me the will to live.

I don't believe that where I live the lows were in the 60s. And I'm very near the lake, so I am not sure what's up.

eff you effing REAL FEEL

humidity at a steady rollin 60

81º
81% humidity
9:16 a.m.

That's a lot of humid.

I tell people that the humidity here is bad, but we're not really near a large body of water and it hangs around 60% all summer.

60% during the hot part of the day?

IIRC, someone upthread called the idea that dry heat is more tolerable nonsense. That person is not OTM. That person seems to have never even been near the M.

Looking up the post first would have made more sense. Anyway, I still say, how can you not "believe that crap about dry heat"? It's pretty obvious that when the humidity is high, the heat is more miserable, and when it is low, it's less miserable.

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.

60% during the hot part of the day?

Yeah -- it's 56% right now. (and 89˚)

You don't need to be near a body of water to have humidity. Southern Illinois is about as inland as you can get and the air is swampy as hell.

I'm confused as to why the Southwest U.S. has such dry air when the air seems to come from the Pacific and the Gulf. Maybe it unloads the moisture along the way. Maybe the internet can help me understand.
