San Diego maybe

when i moved to alaska 18 years ago ppl were bitching about the heatwave when it broke 70°

they were otm, but you know global warming and shit

yes

38 of the last 49 days have been cooling days, it is hovering between 60-70 right now w/ heavy marine layer

we'll back 70-90 and sunny from late july to october though when the ocean will suddenly cool

w/ heavy marine layer

rip albert pujols

it gets down to lows forties between thxgiving and new years, brrrr

the weather in the past week has convinced me that the best part about being rich aside from never having to worry about being bankrupt by a hospital stay would be the ability to live in different parts of the country (or world) as dictated by the weather

move to dallas, buy a house with an air-conditioned garage

there's a lot of unincorporated land w/ that climate left in califonia, some places even warmer / cooler / sunnier / cloudier to your taste

job relocation is almost always expensive though, i can't afford to try portland (easy zing)

xp well it's unseasonably warm all over right now - its 85f or so in my third floor apartment and it's expected to be 40 C (104 iirc) tomorrow and ugh why am I even typing this never mind my point was that I like to appreciate heat and I'm just going to do that and hope complainers don't usher in bleak rainy months

^^^^a witch, imo

I'm making it hot on purpose - you've found me out!

pdx been a steady 60s to 70s so far with a rare exception, but maybe i shldnt blow that up? readin about summer weather and agonies always catches me off guard when i'm here.

less so when i'm elsewhere obv

summer just scares me now. i don't know how much of it is paranoia and how much of it is real though. the sun just feels toxic and hurtful on some days in ways that i've never felt before.

Yes, this! I love summer, I love being able to sit under an umbrella in my yard and drink beer, but the sun really does just sometimes feel like it's actively trying to kill us anymore. The only time I remember the sun ever feeling like this is when I visited the Australian outback, which does not bode well for the Great Lakes region.

78 F at 7:00am in CLE. Expected high of 93 with a heat index of 102. Heat advisory until *9:00pm*.

I did a lot of yard work last weekend, so when I was hot and sore on Monday and Tuesday I thought it was just the effects of too much shoveling and too much sunshine. But it turns out that I've been walking around with pneumonia all week with a 103 fever. I'm really thankful that our power hasn't gone out so far, because I wouldn't have been able to handle being sick in this heat. Don't think my window units are going to hold up very well if it breaks 100 this weekend though.

Eh, I'll concede that complaining about our first run of days in the '90s made my friend from Texas cry wuss. Eh pointed out how by then it had been that hot where he's from for a month. Another friend from Texas, Houston, says the summers are so bad they kids get out from school and have to spend most of summer camp indoors.

Is this the worst (britishes) summer ever?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehorse,_Yukon#Ecology_and_climate

I get the same sense of Doom! DOOM! when it's this hot that scot and Phil D. get. It's not unlike the constant creeping unease re: nuclear war that I experienced during the time between The Day After and Glasnost/Perestroika.

Yesterday was blow-dryer city in Atlanta.

Someone seems to have confused my immediate environs for a pottery studio. Please tell that person/deity that New York is not a kiln.

a kiln is hot, but it's a dry heat

I was hoping that the forecasters were wrong and that the crazy t-storms yesterday would cool things down a little but instead, they just made everything EXTRA HUMID. It's AWESOME. We're all going to DIE.

MAYBE WE'RE ALREADY DEAD

omg my fundie relatives were right all along and that asshole I worked with in North Carolina really is looking down at me from heaven and laughing, just like she threatened that time I declined to go to church with her Easter!

the forecast for tomorrow dropped from 108 to 102.

IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO, SUN

should people even really live somewhere that is consistently 100+ all summer? how do people live in the desert?

people can really get used to some insane stuff.

But these gases have an impact the ozone treaty largely ignores. Pound for pound, they contribute to global warming thousands of times more than does carbon dioxide, the standard greenhouse gas.

The leading scientists in the field have just calculated that if all the equipment entering the world market uses the newest gases currently employed in air-conditioners, up to 27 percent of all global warming will be attributable to those gases by 2050.

Come on everybody. White Horse, Yukon FAP. FOREVER.

Libya, where El Azizia is located, is one of the hottest places in the world due to a burning sandy wind called ghibli, which often appears without warning and can raise the temperature by 68°F (20°C) in just a couple of hours.

ahhhhhhhhh! okay i will never complain again. at least i never have to brave the BURNING SAND WINDS OF DEATH.

xxp i was talking to someone from yellowknife the other day and was actually jealous

Arctic circle towns are crazy in the summer. Sure they're cool temp-wise but the horseflies are the size of birds, the crows the size of cats, it's some creepy stuff.

I was up this morning when the sun rose around 6:30. How do people deal with this closer to the time zone lines or up north, where it rises earlier?

Looking at you, Urbana.

rising at ~4.30 in northern britain right now. on the other hand it is raining all the time so you would hardly know, amirite.

What's even the point of having a 4:30 in the morning if the sun's going to be up already by then.

I've never gotten used to a place like Edmonton, the northernmost metropolis of the Americas, being on the same latitude as Manchester UK.

Glasgow should be in the Arctic Circle then, amirite?

i think it's pretty tough for parents of young kids, especially the not getting dark until like 11pm thing.

xp ugh ok that is tougher

the current govt, or some faction thereof, is trying for an extra hour added to british summertime for that reason

i think i see goatse in that map, the b-hole is just over w. va.

Dammit, now I see it too.

and goddamm, St. Louis. Goddam.

I will take 111º in Yuma any day of the year over 106º standing out by Big Muddy.

xxp Take me home, goatse roads...

When I left for work this morning at 6am it was already fully light out in Cleveland.
