too effing hot

I get abuse for being electronically immobile, but I'm not dense enough to live in post-climate change New York without A/C.

I do this to myself, but honestly I kind of enjoy it.
Just glad yr not at the all star game. Fire has shut down the whole 7 train.

Or the home run derby, more accuately

Accurately

urrrrrgh

Yeah, this doesn't make a lick of sense.

Holy..>!

killing us NYC. THANKS!!

That is weird. Cats and dogs living together...

Did you tell KK that they're trying to keep the police shootings to just once a week now?

JFC hang in there new york city.

you guys should come to Arizona, nice n mild here now

we drive among the stars xposts

nice weather for the baseball All-Star Game tonight, I hope we manage -30 F for the outdoor Super Bowl in Jersey.

Biking home today I drank almost an entire 100 oz. Camelbak.

can't wait for the high in july 2023!

eh shouldn't be too bad since we'll all be underwater

wait a sec the high was 94 yesterday. 103 would be crazy.
this is some "real feel" nonsense right?

yeah high yesterday was just over 90 in lower manhattan

rain tomorrow allegedly

Yes, the official high in Central Park was 93 yesterday. Weather.com maintained that the temp in Tribeca around 4pm was 103. Now they have erased that and say it was 94. They are the most inept bunch of amateurs on the face of the earth.

and the 'severe thunderstorms' are coming Saturday, they claim.

the "feel" in toronto is 109 apparently (43) but it's technically only 89 (32). so thankful to have dragged AC out of closet and installed in office the other day! hiding in this one, almost slightly cooler room. Instantly sweaty in all other rooms.

I don't know if this belongs in the Hyperbole by Dr. Morbius or Hyperbole by The Weather Channel thread.

i wonder if weather.com will start giving names to heatwaves

how often do we get a legit high of 100 in nyc? 5 or 6 days per year?

not that often . . . yet

It's stormed with heavy rain every day for what seems like a month straight. I couldn't be happier. But I realize Summer still has two months to try to murder me.

Summertime, I dread those. Imagine a bomb going off and waiting for the smoke to clear, and it's the same around here with thunderstorm/humidity.

I wish it would storm here or else I'm going to have to go water the flowers.

I've always been a fan of "the natural look" -- to hell with those neighbors and their fancy zoisa grass, lawn sprinklers and weekly landscapers.

Google recently updated the street view of my neighborhood to when we've been living in this house and Good Lord. (I'm on the right.)

Anybody got some Rogaine?

Is "temperature 'feel' consultant" like, a paying gig? Who is feeling this higher temperature, anyway?

Side question: do you all have central A/C, only in your bedroom, or not at all? And if you chose only in your bedroom, do you sweat it out on the outside or basically live in your bedroom? (I sweat it out...I have never had air flow in any New York apts I've lived in for 25 years)

We had 17 straight days of rain in Cleveland and now have not seen a drop in 5 days, but we've had a heat index over 90. I just don't even know anymore.

I don't really know, but have mostly assumed "feels like" includes humidity, perhaps changes in the temp due to reflected asphalt, stuff that a basic thermometer may not take into account

This actual temp vs "feels like" temp is bs. How come where I leave, where it's been unseasonably mild for the most part, I haven't heard pray tell about the Wind Chill? "It's really 95º, but on the lake, it feels like 88º."

My daughter and I go through this with her ceiling fan. I tell her to only turn it on when she's in the room. But she wants the room to stay cool when she's not there. It's not any cooler, it just feels cooler and her stuffed animals dgaf.

where i live. hi dere

Hot with a cough, in the dark with a moth.

I associate this with new york, cuz when I started temping here it happened in every office I worked in: everybody would quote the "feels like" as the actual temp.
in the summer: "wow it's gonna get up to 113 today!" "hey bet you're missing california with this heat at 115 degrees huh"
it made me insane

i am from new york and i totally agree--it's endemic here. but i actually never hear anyone use it anymore thank god. i think people en masse silently realized how stupid it was

hey it's not a competition guys

Flowers watered.

The natural look would be counterproductive as these are flowering annuals I planted in pots on our back deck so I would have something pretty to look at when I am (doo doo doo) looking out my back door. If I let them die, then I would be sad every time I looked outside and I'm sad enough in the summer as it is.

only thing to save you is to climb up the empire state building like king kong

I was gonna sympathize about NYC's 100+ heat but then I saw the humidity was only 30%

Fuck you guys

at midnight it was 86°f w/ 55% rel. humidity

anyway air that hot can really pack in the moisture, so it doesn't take much 'relative' humidity

tbf it's 80% at 90 f in hong kong this week

Dew point's the thing.

100F & 30% RH means dew point is 64F

90F & 80% RH = DP of 83F, which is just heinous.

Dew point Over 80 °F Severely high. Even deadly for asthma related illnesses. Find nearest suicide booth.

Agreed its all about the dew point. the past couple of days in little rock have been near 100F and I've had no trouble wearing a cardigan.
