BITE YER TONGUE.

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.

Bring it on.

Think of those of us who MIGHT DIE.

?

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'm really skinny, anemic, and have poor circulation. Winter is just 4 months of shivering for me. I live in Chicago because I hate myself, obv.

But I suppose I'm glad that some people enjoy the Time of Sad.

Ppl complaining about today being too hot here already. In Melbourne. In SPRING. The hell?

I'm lovin it.

But then again it isnt blindingly hot.

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.

Not being contrary for its own sake, but summer makes me cranky, miserable, and depressed.

Get rid of "depressed" and I echo your feelings. I anticipate the first snowstom of winter with much glee.
And fall is my favorite.

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.

it should not be 86 degrees f right now, here

Yeah, I am really hoping it gets cooler soon just so I can enjoy fall before Old Man Winter comes along.

Jesse so on the motherfucking money. The weather here makes me feel like I'm living on a piece of paper. I miss fall so goddamn much.

October sposed to arrive in NYC by week's end

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.

guys, NYC and Chi and I think just about all of us will be nice and cool by Wednesday. I will be wearing a jacket. High of 57 here, it says. That's like, my favorite weather ever.

well, all of us in the central or eastern US. Um... no offense, everybody else on the planet.

I know.

I look forward to that, but my desire for it has such momentum that I actually overshoot fall and look forward to bitterest January.

i'm so sick of hearing "tomorrow is the last hot day, tomorrow is the last humid muggy day"

FALL HAS BEEN TEASING ME FOR LIKE A MONTH NOW

Fall is edging.

hahahahaha

god i can't wait for the fall. i love it. i can't take this 80s shit in october at all.

The highs here should dip below 90 by the end of the week!

still in the 90s here too.

i went swimming in the atlantic yesterday (jersey shore), latest ocean dip ever, the water was warm, weird.

The highs here have been in the low 60s or even high 50s for over a week. Here being western Oregon. This, with thick cloud cover and frequent showers of cold rain. Observe our cool autumn weather and be amazed!

it is really gross. all my long weekend baking plans were destroyed. i want to jump into the ocean. the water is warmer in the fall cos of inversion!

wtf @ 65°F on january 9

Normal in SF, CA.

where are you, mookieproof? i'm in montreal and it's... err... 45°F here, on january 9th, which is just dumb... and tomorrow is supposed to be WARMER?

It was nice to return from SNOWLAND to T-shirt weather. it is making me die less.

BAN SURMOUNTER.

i can take a few warm days here and there throughout january, they can be kind of nice. but i like my seasons straight up. a fluke here and there is fine. but we've only had like 5 actually winter-like days this year.

39.7°C

41.0°C

Yeah fuck this shit.

the new york metro weather guy who is in his late 30s, had a heart attack the other day?

he is recovering and we all wish him the best but in his absence i am willing to say that 85°F/29°C with a 75°F/24°C dew point at 1:45am is FUCKED UP

We had our Canada Day tennis event in Stratford yesterday. One of our best players had to leave her second match because of heat stroke. Personally, I could barely think straight after my fourth match in two hours (25 minutes per, but it was unbearable).

feeling blessed to be in coastal northern california right now... we're looking at low 70s thru the holiday weekend

probably owing to my time growing up in vegas i'm not really feeling the heat in nyc right now bc the humidity is so low. but both of these things are alarming in this region lol

as someone mentioned in the other thread, let's see what this heat wave can do to an 80 year old man in a suit & heavy makeup, shouting at a handful of poor souls baking on an empty lawn

the worst heat I ever experienced in Connecticut was in August 2016 where not only was it near triple digits but the humidity was also amazingly high. It literally felt life threatening to be outside for more than a few minutes.

Actually a perfect few days in London now, got to savour it before a bit more 30C+ next week.

Just got PTSD from a Bluesky post:

North Jersey Coast rail service is suspended between Penn Station New York and Long Branch. NJ TRANSIT service on all other rail lines is subject to up to 60-minute delays and cancellations of select trains due to the impacts on the equipment, related to the extreme temperatures

When I worked in NYC I used to ride either the North Jersey Coast line or the Northeast Corridor line every day, and every other day it was delayed, usually by between 30 and 60 minutes, coming into or out of Penn Station, if not both ways.

I used to take the main line from nj into penn for work it was mostly horrible

We are fucked x1000000. This can't be a long term solution, not that it's being framed as such..

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.

Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.

Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings,…

My two 18-year-old window unit both died within the last week or so. Off to buy new ones.

My big worry is that I'm going to drop the old units out the windows when I try to remove them, and then I'm going to drop the new units too.

air con is on too high in my office and it's only high-20s out there :[
