too effing hot

As sunset got earlier, I had been lamenting the passing of summer, but then today I walked 4 blocks in 87º w/ humidity and I remembered summer = TEH.

It was finally warm enough again to go swimming.

where did u go swimming?

pretty good stretch there for a few weeks tho

it's too hot in nyc

mookieproof: friends' pool. They didn't have it open during the heat wave though.

jeal

I am maybe going tomorrow and Friday too.

Then it can get cold again.

it will all be over soon, right?

in Baltimore it's 97 degrees with a 47% humidity

aka totally disgusting

The last three days in Chicago have been like summer's death throws. I had to walk outside for about a half mile yesterday and the heat made my face hurt, like if I were bent over peering into an open, hot oven. BUT 87 today, then 77 tomorrow, then 66!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ugh what the heck

fuck this fucking shit

I'm seriously not planning to leave the house until Friday. I mean 77 is great and all and I'll probably open some windows but I'm playing the long game here.

94 feels like 103, 48% humidity.. don't think i'm leaving the house today.

high five not leaving the house club!!

cmon what is this shit, get your act together, nature

I checked the temperature when I stepped out for lunch and it said "BALLS"

you guys should try teaching two hour classes in unventilated rooms with 20 teenagers

my university is issuing a "let's reduce our on campus electrical demand" edict starting from 3 pm today in order to take some pressure off the electrical company as it struggles to keep people's AC going in the face of this heatwave

This has been awful...but it seems like the horror will be over by tomorrow, probably until next year? At least in Chicago. Or maybe I am just being overly optimistic and it will be 97 degrees in October.

I refuse to even contemplate such a thing.

I really don't know why I don't live in the PNW.

You Chicago summer haters got off relatively easy this year. As of 9/1, it has basically been an very average summer. The average temperature was 71.6° or .2° below average. Only 9 days were over 90 degrees, whereas 2012 had 40 days over 90 degrees.

I hope for my sake that the winter is mild.

looking forward to tomorrow killing Illinois summer dead

my classrooms are all a/c'ed to the maxx, whole campus is chill as fukk, when i go to work i spend 12 hours there because it's better than going back to the melty world

it's reassuring that carl and jeff can get along so well when the latter is so thoroughly wrong about weather

92 today in MAINE, christ almighty

We didn't pack for this

people in my office use space heaters during the summer, ambient temp is like 64 degrees. I love it.

Hottest September day since 2010 apparently

i was at a conference in lisbon in july when it was 40c out, and much worse in the unventilated classrooms we were using. it made proceedings unusually mellow, i don't think anyone could be bothered expending energy getting into arguments.

Work sent me to a customer site about 10 miles from my parents' house, so I've been staying there this week and hiding out in the air-conditioned basement. Apparently it was 97F in portland yesterday, and I'm glad I missed that. This is insane.

Oh, I'll see you and raise you by 4x70 minute classes with a couple of dozen tweens in a room with floor-to-ceiling windows along a forty foot wall. 107F and 99% humidity, wept so bad the grout between the cinderblocks began to weep ancient moisture

ok you win

although i would add that 18 yr olds smell appalling

Tomorrow night it is going to go down to 48 degrees! Hallelujah.

had a moment where I read that as C rather than F

It's supposed to storm and then get cold tonight THANK YOU BABY JESUS BECAUSE THIS IS AWFUL.

too effing dark

it was indistinguishable from actual dusk about an hour ago

(actually i sort of live it)

DJP are you communist, y/n?

I was in eastern Berlin less than a week ago, so kinda?

Tomorrow night it is going to go down to 48 degrees! Hallelujah.

HI FIVE!!!!!

Dark by 8pm, but still in 80s/90s UNACCEPTABLE. Come on, Autumn, I have a new jacket I wanna wear.

it's only a (horrible and evil) blip, but it's set back the cause of tolerable subway stations by ~10 days

It's 54 right now! It's going to be 64 toady! I wish I could hug this weather and tell it I love it so it would never leave.

Don't call me toady!

inappropriate imo

Totally unacceptable.

Welcome to my world of the past 4 months, x4

you chose that

i did not choose 85 in rocktober

But on Sunday the high will be 60, it will be glorious!
