Starting to get hot. the front passenger-side window of my car asploded in the car park on Friday, it was so fucking weird.
― W4LTER, Sunday, 30 September 2007 23:20 (sixteen years ago) link
..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 :((

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.

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.
― Jesse, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 04:05 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― Trayce, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 04:22 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

Get rid of "depressed" and I echo your feelings. I anticipate the first snowstom of winter with much glee. And fall is my favorite.
― Capitaine Jay Vee, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 06:32 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― Jesse, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 10:58 (sixteen years ago) link
it should not be 86 degrees f right now, here
― mookieproof, Monday, 8 October 2007 17:57 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

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.
― Jesse, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:40 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:45 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― Jesse, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:46 (sixteen years ago) link

may and june were delightfully mild in NYC
and even now it hasn't been that straight-up hot -- upper 80s at most
but also it's like 12 straight days with a dew point over 70F and i've become So Angry at . . . fucking People
no doubt just as well that i barely leave the house

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°.
― pplains, Monday, 10 July 2023 13:49 (nine months ago) link
I didn't think it was that muggy here, but then I noticed that opening the freezer created this little rolling cloud of vapor in front of it
― mh, Monday, 10 July 2023 17:29 (nine months ago) link
Speaking of Greece, we are only going to be back in Athens for a day, but it's supposed to hit 106 or something there, as part of this massive European heat wave. Where we are now is cooler but still effing hot.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 14 July 2023 06:33 (nine months ago) link
This is the definition of compound, concurrent heat extremes! What you're looking at is the pressure pattern & wind flow at the 500mb level (5600 m, 18K ft). This is why Death Valley hit 129, the Med may hit 118, Iran heat index 152F and China hit an all-time heat record of 126. pic.twitter.com/qlXnoaAMmq— Jeff Berardelli (@WeatherProf) July 17, 2023
Really striking how in sync these are and how long they're sticking around. And in most cases this isn't even the effects of the latest El Nino yet.
― nashwan, Tuesday, 18 July 2023 16:59 (nine months ago) link
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)
And let me tell you something, New Orleans is dank and steamy enough already.
