I got pretty used to it being in the 110-115º F range, but now it's in the high 80s/late 90s. If it were 5-10º cooler, I would adore it, but as it stands it just feels like the weather is TEASING me. "It could be Fall, but....naw. Haha."

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 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.

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.

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.

we're around 105 for a while, low humidity though. slc utah. monsoon moisture has been blessing us sporadically over the past two weeks. we're right at the northern tip of its reach so it isn't much. even though the colorado plateau has had a few better than average monsoon years, the colorado river system is basically collapsing from drought.

The killer down here is that it will be a low in the high 80s for three minutes at 4AM so there's never a respite, no chance for the daily heat to dissipate, people with bad/no AC can't sleep and don't have anywhere to go.

This is so horrible. Curtains closed all day for the last three days, trapped in an endless cycle of sweating, crying and drinking water to try to replenish my hydration. Everything feels awful. The only okay thing is that the cats seem to be managing alright and are enjoying the novelty of playing with ice cubes.

We're hitting 91-95F (33-35C) between today and tomorrow, the season until now was fine after a coldish wettish spring. Apparently 4th July was the hottest day ever recorded on earth, although that's a bit of a strange statistic and can't be easy to determine.Our summer vacation will be North. First time in ages I'm travelling in July-August, off-season just had become the default to avoid heat/mass tourism or to go Southern hemisphere.

Came out of the gate the first week of summer on fire. Got annoyed looking at the forecast, thinking, I hate it when they use the heat index instead of the actual temperature. Then I realized, oh no, the forecast really is 105° (41°C).
But now here we are on July 10, and the low this morning was 65° (18°C). So muggy, it still felt like 85°.

Iran downright muggy.
To reach a heat index of 152°F (66.6°C), Persian Gulf International Airport had to hit the following trifecta:
Temperature --- 104°F (40°C)Humidity ------ 64.5%Dew Point ----- 90°F (32°C)
I not-so-randomly looked at Louis Armstrong International Airport outside New Orleans for comparison. Right now, their heat index is "only" 108°F (42°C) with the following conditions:
Temperature --- 92°F (33°C)Humidity ------ 64%Dew Point ----- 78°F (26°C)
