Seriously. "Hey, let's stick this thermometer in boiling hot tar, and lay this one on the grass surrounded by trees, and see what results we get! It's science!"

imagine how lame we sound in the UK moaning that it's too hot to cook because it's been 28-32 degrees for the last 4-5 days!

Can confirm. Am currently in Britain, basking in the heat and mildly amused by the locals' despair.
For real, though, while I genuinely enjoy this kind of weather, the climatological implications are fucking grim.

The day my Southern folk buck up and learn to drive in an inch of snow will be the day I finally call out Northerners for melting in the 90º heat.

Over 29C in my (UK) place at 2am last night. I know it's been hotter at times the last few years but I have thermometer now. If it goes over 36C during the day I think I'll need to find somewhere else to sleep.

tbf it goes from 20 degrees to 30 degrees overnight and lasts for 5 days. Try getting used to that each year.

the thing is, when I lived in the South (GA), the *indoor* summer temperature was around 18, which makes a pretty huge difference

The UK doesn’t feel much less humid than Arkansas in practice. Real lung weather sometimes, especially at night.

Going by extended experiences in Montreal and Bucharest, the current UK heat wave (in Oxford, at least) is lightweight-tier in terms of how it *feels*. Imo it's just nice out.
But, to reiterate, in terms of what it means for the planet, it's a total disaster.

But things feel different depending on the standard climate one is used to! I do chuckle when I see Phoenicians in 50F/10C bundled up like arctic explorers, but I don't doubt that they truly do feel cold. Because they've just been thru 6 months of over 100F/40C.

13°C not exactly too effing hot but you shouldn't be able to go for a 1am dog walk in the park wearing a t-shirt in late december in the north of England. It just isn't right. There is a breeze but it's warm wind.

Actually considering the last few years this is late for our first 90 degree day in DC. I’m sure historically this is still very early.

Don't know why it says "Humid" up there when the humidity is only 46%. Hygrometer must be on the fritz.

We're having to get our house reroofed (only 13 years after the last time but that's another story) and our roofer said his working day is 5:30 a.m. to about noon.

In AZ they do a lot of roofing at night! Construction in general, from what I’ve heard.Knock on wood, but it has been a relatively cool summer here in Philly, not as many 92+ days. Still looking forward to our trip to Maine in a few weeks tho.
― broccoli rabe thomas (the table is the table), Friday, 8 July 2022 12:06 (one year ago) link
Yeah long term forecast is that DC will have a “normal” or slightly below normal summer, but that’s still higher than past historical standards. We just won’t be in there “Top 10 hottest summers” like we have been stuck on every year for a decade.
― Antifa Sandwich Artist (Boring, Maryland), Friday, 8 July 2022 17:32 (one year ago) link
Our neighbors are an empty lot to the east, an insurance office to the north, a school building empty in the summer to the west and an empty house to the south. I should let our roofer know he's welcome to set up lights and work at night if he wants.

Long way off but if this even comes close, eek.
What a run. I know it's probably feeding the Express bollocks that releases by tweeting this anyway but I feel like its something to highlight anyway as 44C on a model run is exceptionally mad twice in a row!

Interesting that London was hotter today than Miami or Miami Beach have ever been in recorded history.
Meanwhile NYC is poised to get 7 straight days of 90+ F (32.2 C) starting Tuesday.

Because of the heat (and rising electricity costs) I've fired up my old Mac Mini - a 2012 model, but I've installed Big Sur on it with this tool:https://github.com/barrykn/big-sur-micropatcher
One thing I can recommend is a utility called smcFanControl:https://github.com/hholtmann/smcFanControl
Macs typically don't run the fun until they get really hot, but I'm not comfortably with a tiny block of aluminium running at 70c. smfFanControl lets you manually set the minimum fan speed.
