too effing hot

I was on the elevator returning from a lovely lunch-time stroll and the elevators are really stuffy and gross (also really dark because I guess the building turned down the lights to save energy which is great but also made me feel a little crazy until someone explained why it was so dark) and this woman in the elevator pulled her jacket tight around her and complained about how cold it is today.

She should move to where WmC lives and thinks that temps in the 80s is cool enough for making gumbo and leave the northern cities for the rest of us sweaty broads.

That's nuts! I was looking around at people while waiting for the train the other day (at park street lol) and pretty much dying of the heat when I noticed that there were people wearing long sleeves and one person had on a jacket. Clearly they must have been ill.

Did you not see me cross my arms across my body at lunch because I had a significant chill?

I thought that was from all the ghosts in Corner Bakery.

From my co-worker from Chicago -

80 degrees in LR: "wowww it feels like fall it's so nice out"
80 degrees in Chicago: "it's so hot let's go to the pool"

That's about right.

ok enbb you are right it is only like 80 right now but i can't fucking breeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaathe it is so gross

dew point 73 degrees
humidity 91%

Ew!

Right?! It's so bad out today.

The weather guy said high of 80 but I didn't hear the humidity part and I wore jeans and I was DYING on the way in even though it's not even hot. It's just sticky and disgusting. I had to go to park street earlier too and it was awful.

I think something's wrong--I'm now freezing at 69-70 degrees and I didn't used to be.

Hey Christine. How's it going?

the on-off rain has turned boston into the shittiest hottest suckiest bunch of suck today

^^ this

yea it is so bad today

i am home with the kids today and keeping a sweaty infant and a cranky toddler happy is just too much

However, NYC area comparably much much better than the past couple of days.

I spent last week on the east coast and I gotta say I had forgotten what that shit was like, glad 2 b back in Seattle

come on now

HORRIBLE

last day for this. low tonight is 74

:/

fluctuating between 93 and 97 all day today, only 1 more day of 91 before the sweet release of a 70 degree weekend, or possibly death before that who knows

Central Park has broken a record for a high temperature on this date by reaching 97°. The previous record was 93° set back in 1919.

also like 62 straight days over 80. and yeah 80 isn't crazy but not even one day in the 70s for two months? rude

I've lived in NYC since 1986 and for some reason this was the most annoying summer heat-wise in memory...first of all, it's been humid--feels like 90% of the time; second, as Mookieproof said, it's the numbing regularity of the heat, day after day. I've never been so glad for winter (we haven't had spring or fall as distinct seasons in like 10 years--9 months of freezing and 3 months of this shit)

not leaving this office tonight til it cools down to 90

hurricanes keep passing by and sucking up all the trade winds. it's deathly still, absurdly humid, and the ocean is so warm it's creepy. can't remember the last time i saw snow on the mountain. yearning for our other season, if it still exists.

that post was so poetic I read it three times

It's going to be 92 again tomorrow but thankfully it gets a lot cooler after that

I'm fully ready for fall and tired of this bullshit.

did not need to blush under these circs

If today's weather means one less day of 22 degree temperatures in the winter it's worth it, because the latter is infinitely more uncomfortable to me.

Admittedly it probably doesn't mean that, and we're all in for more extreme temperatures and unpleasantness from now until the time we die.

that was some serious alabama type stuff yesterday. if i had wanted to live in alabama by gum i would have moved to alabama.

for the record, i live in massachusetts the official home of never living in alabama.

Sweat Home Alabama...

my dad was gloating yesterday because it was cooler where he is than it was here in MA and he lives in FLORIDA ffs

i went to vegas in the middle of august and walking around in 106° heat with 9% humidity was a PLEASURE compared to nyc subway platforms this summer

radio this morning: surrounding ocean now "6 degrees warmer than normal", coral reefs expected to undergo "mass bleaching event". on land tho rain did cut the heat some last night.

46 / 115 with 70% humidity in Abu Dhabi today. I will never complain about a London summer again.

Well, I will complain, but with less justification.

dont u just get ferried by golfbuggy from subterranean airconditioned mall to airconditioned hotel etc

Seventy percent humidity in the desert. That's nuts.

Hope to live long enough to see complaints of fog in the city by 2050.

desert right next to the warmest sea in the world

actually i think the red sea might be warmer

The sea is apparently too warm to swim in for portions of the day at the moment.

Everything is air conditioned and quite pleasant but even a few minutes outside, walking to metro or from car park to office, is hellish.

Are the windows always fogged up?

It is quite hard to use mobile phones for that reason. Gets fogged up in seconds and touch screen stops working.

how hot does the sea have to be in order to be too warm to swim? that sounds so weird.

39˚F tonight
another summer survived, yesssss

Imo water starts being uncomfortable for activity in the low to mid 70s. You still sweat underwater, you know.

water starts being uncomfortable for activity if i get in it

will go down to 45 at Citi Field by 11pm, which is why getting playoff tix is overrated

44° and kitty is snuggly <3
