too effing hot

My hand fan is wooden slats, cloth fan.

and one of those fans arrived as a same-day amazon delivery lol we're all gonna die

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

Evenings are drawing in rapidly.

LOL rain.

yep this weekend we have a forecast of sustained rain and sub 20° temperatures with about 80% humidity, almost perfect.

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

so bad and hated

happy 90 (feels like 95) degrees in new york on *checks date* october 2

autumnal indefinitely after the rain, they say

yeah i'm glad this is the last heatwave

Fucking freezing here.

maybe the roaches and ants in my kitchen will go to Florida

freezing in LA!

Down to 4C in Paris tonight, it rules

The weather in Seattle is perfect, as it is 400 days a year

fping all of you chiming in about coolness

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.
