also i was out on the town in the heat with friends last night and i have to say the genuine unsung heroes of london public transport are the people who remember to bring old-school hand-held fans (the paper ones with wooden ribs) out with them, bcz they help cool everyone near them
― mark s, Friday, 26 July 2019 10:28 (four years ago) link
two great things about hand-held fans: they are the only sustainable source of cooling in 2019 and if they're elaborately patterned and/or painted they'll make your corpse look more attractive when you drop dead of heat exhaustion in the middle of the high street

lol i nearly added a line to say "bg to the thread in 10 to point out that the wood and paper industries are why the world is on fire and getting worse" it's like i don't know you at all dude

but for real though you can make fans from recycled paper and recycle old fans, so it's vastly more sustainable than firing up the aircon to burn fossil fuels to ameliorate the effects of fossil fuels
our house slept with two fans on last night tho, i am the problem i face

Many x-posts to calzino: I used to look after kids with special needs in the summer, but it was Scotland in the 90s - I think there were only one or two days when it was Hot, and the whole atmosphere of the group was so fed up and testy. I can imagine it’s a lot of work.

I can only imagine how people with autism experience oppressive heat, but as we don't get much time to acclimatise to these type of conditions, it's often going to be a literal meltdown trigger for them.

I think yesterday was the high-point of summer and now it's fading, might not break 30 again

yep this weekend we have a forecast of sustained rain and sub 20° temperatures with about 80% humidity, almost perfect.
― calzino, Friday, 26 July 2019 12:38 (four years ago) link
having reached 23 last night we were finally able to open windows this morning but only for a few hours and it hit 32 again today so it's hot inside once more. but the rains will arrive soon thankfully; and models indicate that August, at least into week 3, will not be hot, so I am optimistic once more.

It’s a v comfortable 25 degrees and sunny here now, beer garden weather 😎 everyone already moaning that summer is over because that’s what Brits like to do whenever summer isn’t over but I’m happy with mid, high 20s and sunshine for weeks - don’t need it to always be 30+(I know I’m on the wrong thread but as stated we have no I love weather)

Car registrations, the city vehicle fleet, and VMT are all way up under @BilldeBlasio so if you’re wondering why it’s so unbearably hot in the city, that’s part of the reason. https://t.co/p79bLTYFqb— Doug Gordon (@BrooklynSpoke) August 21, 2019
