too effing hot

I had rain for like 3 days in a row and got all wet while going home. This morning was 23 degrees. So much happiness for this i cant even begian to talk about it

Woooooo...!

Just like that.

Cheezuz christo, los angeles.

KILL ME NOW

i was in encino friday -- at 113º i went swimming in an 87º pool to cool off and ended up with all sorts of weird breathing trubbles.

my wading pool is too hot to even bother... i take cold showers every hour and stand in front of a fan

do not want

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."

fuck this shit

I think this shit is supposed to be fucked tomorrow.

THANK GOD

I can't be bothered to check, but I don't think it got to 100 all summer. Which is just bizarre in these parts.

uhhhhh
bleah

Amsterdam was nice, and then I came back home to schvitzville.

Starting to get hot.
the front passenger-side window of my car asploded in the car park on Friday, it was so fucking weird.

..And it was almost definitely the heat as there was no projectile in or around the car and a co-worker was nearby it when it happened.

Glass was everywhere :((

Oh nice. I just posted this to the Chicago thread. This is my local El station

BITE YER TONGUE.

It's October 1, 10:53 PM and it's still 70 degrees. And tomorrow's high is forecasted to be 80. I am ANGRY and I want searing, skin-shattering cold. I have since summer began. I even wanted it in February when we had weeks of record lows.

Bring it on.

Think of those of us who MIGHT DIE.

?

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'm really skinny, anemic, and have poor circulation. Winter is just 4 months of shivering for me. I live in Chicago because I hate myself, obv.

But I suppose I'm glad that some people enjoy the Time of Sad.

Ppl complaining about today being too hot here already. In Melbourne. In SPRING. The hell?

I'm lovin it.

But then again it isnt blindingly hot.

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.

Not being contrary for its own sake, but summer makes me cranky, miserable, and depressed.

Get rid of "depressed" and I echo your feelings. I anticipate the first snowstom of winter with much glee.
And fall is my favorite.

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.

it should not be 86 degrees f right now, here

Yeah, I am really hoping it gets cooler soon just so I can enjoy fall before Old Man Winter comes along.

Jesse so on the motherfucking money. The weather here makes me feel like I'm living on a piece of paper. I miss fall so goddamn much.

October sposed to arrive in NYC by week's end

O hi. I am going to bitch here now.

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.

It's like being in the South again--high 80s in October--WTF.

guys, NYC and Chi and I think just about all of us will be nice and cool by Wednesday. I will be wearing a jacket. High of 57 here, it says. That's like, my favorite weather ever.

well, all of us in the central or eastern US. Um... no offense, everybody else on the planet.

I know.

I look forward to that, but my desire for it has such momentum that I actually overshoot fall and look forward to bitterest January.

Transport system will have to install air con (When I went to Florence all buses had it I think)

Some buses (25, 205, 210, 243) more chilled than others.

I think we know the answer, but you can see how much on here: https://istheukhotrightnow.com/

I usually cope okay with heat and I spent most of the day in nicely air conditioned labs, a half hour on a bus with no AC and a ten minute walk either side was nearly enough to give me heatstroke I think; got the dry heaves soon after getting home, and I’ve been hydrating all day. Seen ppl shirtless, chugging beer & diving into the river & hope that all doesn’t go too badly for them. It’s also the fair tomorrow when ppl come from all over the country to get heroically drunk, thank god it’s gonna be a few degrees cooler cause there’ll be casualties

Found myself using rehydration sachets ie electrolytes and etc which I normally never do but it’s been a long week

Oh that's a good idea, I've got some of those somewhere.

This is brutal. I can't even think. Generally speaking I love summer and spend most of the year wishing it would come around, but I feel like I've been trapped in an oven for 4 days.

Buying stocks in an AC firm

Today was lovely when I got up at 5am just after some rain and small bits of thunder.

But even this is a struggle..

Very pleasant in the drizzle at 7am. Hell when that drizzle became humidity at 9am.

Last night at 10pm it was 35 degrees upstairs. Then around midnight there was a massive thunderstorm. I woke up this morning at 6am and it was... 32 degrees upstairs.

Slept with balcony doors open to get some benefit from the fresh air/temperature drop, managed six hours solid, which is loads for me (especially when sleeping under a light throw on top of a made bed). Widget is still a bit miserable but has everything he needs to get through what should be the last of the hotter days.

xp here the rooms are going between 28-30

Tired of this now

spent the days in the office to avoid this. today doesn't seem too bad but then i did go walking 2 hours early and am not using a laptop that's too hot to touch for 8 hours

three days

Mother f***ing heatwave coming for the U.S. too

22 degree day today I think I love you.

i can do things again!

our turn (nyc)

It's pretty warm here, mid-90s and humid, but those temperatures are not totally unusual and there are lots of places to cool off, aside from hiding at home in the A/C. The only real concern (which sometimes also happens) is the strain on the grid snaps and people lose power, but everything seems to be chugging along so far.

gonna be at least two triple-digit days here in DC

Swamp reclaiming its birthright.

The 4th of July on the National Mall should be...interesting?

https://wtop.com/dc/2026/06/celebrating-july-4th-in-dc-officials-say-even-experienced-locals-need-a-plan/

The fireworks have been pushed back to 11pm because (REDACTED) is supposed to take the stage at 7pm, which means even tighter security than most years. The forecast calls for a high of 100 degrees and a chance of thunderstorms. What could possibly go wrong?

I know it was rhetorical, but I can think of several outcomes ...

wow if only i knew how bad it would get 24 years later

trying to plan an affordable summer getaway outside of Texas and there's just nowhere to hide from it

xxxp is he planning a four hour speech?

yeah i'm a pretty big fan of "mortal kombat armageddon" too, raiden in that movie was awesome

the new york metro weather guy who is in his late 30s, had a heart attack the other day?

he is recovering and we all wish him the best but in his absence i am willing to say that 85°F/29°C with a 75°F/24°C dew point at 1:45am is FUCKED UP

We had our Canada Day tennis event in Stratford yesterday. One of our best players had to leave her second match because of heat stroke. Personally, I could barely think straight after my fourth match in two hours (25 minutes per, but it was unbearable).

feeling blessed to be in coastal northern california right now... we're looking at low 70s thru the holiday weekend

probably owing to my time growing up in vegas i'm not really feeling the heat in nyc right now bc the humidity is so low. but both of these things are alarming in this region lol

as someone mentioned in the other thread, let's see what this heat wave can do to an 80 year old man in a suit & heavy makeup, shouting at a handful of poor souls baking on an empty lawn

the worst heat I ever experienced in Connecticut was in August 2016 where not only was it near triple digits but the humidity was also amazingly high. It literally felt life threatening to be outside for more than a few minutes.

Actually a perfect few days in London now, got to savour it before a bit more 30C+ next week.

Just got PTSD from a Bluesky post:

North Jersey Coast rail service is suspended between Penn Station New York and Long Branch. NJ TRANSIT service on all other rail lines is subject to up to 60-minute delays and cancellations of select trains due to the impacts on the equipment, related to the extreme temperatures

When I worked in NYC I used to ride either the North Jersey Coast line or the Northeast Corridor line every day, and every other day it was delayed, usually by between 30 and 60 minutes, coming into or out of Penn Station, if not both ways.

I used to take the main line from nj into penn for work it was mostly horrible
