At least it's not this bad. Yet.

92 in Brooklyn right now

hit 95 at jfk; the previous record was 85

Ya gotta love these 30 degree temperature swings in one day.

way more here; 55 this morning, so that's about 40

yeah it's actually chilly

Too-fucking-hot during a pandemic is a lot like too-fucking-hot the rest of the time--plus scarves.

it was quite warm today yes

blimey uk'ers

30 today!

It’s horrible

at least i dressed appropriately going to the shop, in my black iron maiden tshirt, black shorts, and thick black trainers.

Powering through on homemade mango lassis (mango purée, yoghurt, ice, teaspoon of sugar, dash of lime juice).

sounds delish. i have slightly flat ginger ale.

Bet we have a perfect UK summer weather-wise in this year of years.

Weather's been better than usual pretty much all through the lockdown.

Cannot imagine the physical or mental health of the nation if this had taken hold in, say, October.

Well I guess wait until October and see!

🙃

I think I must have heatstroke. I'm playing the new Bob Dylan album and actually liking it!

Hah, I'm listening to it right now and it kinda makes me wish I were reading a printout of its lyrics instead.

As for the UK 'heatwave', I don't miss experiencing at most a week of proper summery weather per year. What can I say, I'm a man of extremes.

the lyrics on I Have Multitudes are brilliant and I don't even like most lyrics, nor songwriters that much, especially bob fucking dyaln tbh!

positive - hot temps make golf balls go farther so managed to hit it to spots i've not been near in years

negative - water fountains on the course not in use due to corona so the steep climb up the 13th hole legit almost killed me earlier.

well itll be gr8 if I miss the entire summer in the hospital

is the hospital air conditioned? I was in hospital three years ago for a couple weeks & it was during an extended heatwave & hospitals here aren't generally air conditioned. that wasn't great.

Apparently the covid problem problem in Arizona is bad in part because it’s too hot to go outside.

I'd think that that'll be the case for everywhere in the usa save the pacific coast.

FPed calz for enjoying Bob Dylan.

calz contains multitudes.

yup, as goes arizona so goes the nation a few weeks later when it comes to AC xxp

the lyrics on I Have Multitudes are brilliant and I don't even like most lyrics, nor songwriters that much, especially bob fucking dyaln tbh!

Lol! One of us! One of us!

mango lassi is incredible, thank you for inspiring me to look up a recipe

This thread makes me think of that song from kiss me Kate

may i recommend

:/ pls report back upon your return

the oversized, overheating panting lab's best friend in these conditions is Michael Faraday

mellow weather, good jog!

34 C today, 36 C tomorrow, with crazy humidity on top of that.

I don't have air conditioning at my house and usually I was ok because I spend the hottest part of the day in an air conditioned office but working from home this summer this is getting uncomfortable

I had honestly missed this after a year and a half of middling temperatures in the UK but it does take a toll on you in the long run and tomorrow is bound to be brutal no matter which way you slice it. I'm supposed to grab lunch with some friends in the park, no idea how/if we're going to cope.

It was 32C yesterday and I hated it, ban summer. Much better today, 23C. Next week we may get another pic de chaleur at 32C, ugh.

As bad as last year's Parisian heat wave was (I experienced it firsthand), nothing beats the suffocating humidity of Montreal during the summer. Not only are we expecting 36°C this afternoon, we'll be hovering around 43°C with the humidex. The entire city feels like a hammam.

oh I know, I lived in the american midwest for 20 years. never going back again

I had honestly missed this after a year and a half of middling temperatures in the UK

Very middling at the moment btw.

Just checked Met Office – you weren’t pulling my leg. The added cloudiness with no end in sight really clinches it. I’ll stick to my sunny 36 degrees, thank you very much.

36? sheesh - you can have it

Summer was April-mid June. Wonderful but gone.

36? sheesh - you can have it

To each their Stockholm syndrome. ;)
