too effing hot

mellow weather, good jog!

34 C today, 36 C tomorrow, with crazy humidity on top of that.

I don't have air conditioning at my house and usually I was ok because I spend the hottest part of the day in an air conditioned office but working from home this summer this is getting uncomfortable

I had honestly missed this after a year and a half of middling temperatures in the UK but it does take a toll on you in the long run and tomorrow is bound to be brutal no matter which way you slice it. I'm supposed to grab lunch with some friends in the park, no idea how/if we're going to cope.

It was 32C yesterday and I hated it, ban summer. Much better today, 23C. Next week we may get another pic de chaleur at 32C, ugh.

As bad as last year's Parisian heat wave was (I experienced it firsthand), nothing beats the suffocating humidity of Montreal during the summer. Not only are we expecting 36°C this afternoon, we'll be hovering around 43°C with the humidex. The entire city feels like a hammam.

oh I know, I lived in the american midwest for 20 years. never going back again

Very middling at the moment btw.

Just checked Met Office – you weren’t pulling my leg. The added cloudiness with no end in sight really clinches it. I’ll stick to my sunny 36 degrees, thank you very much.

36? sheesh - you can have it

Summer was April-mid June. Wonderful but gone.

36? sheesh - you can have it

To each their Stockholm syndrome. ;)

34C in Yakutsk on Sunday

I thought Chicago was a motherfucker for throwing uncomfortably hot summers at you after brutal winters but sheesh Yakutsk takes the cake. That's just not fair.

Self styled coldest town in the world Oymyakon throwing its hat in the ring, due to hit 30C at the end of next week!

Was 108 on my way to Flagstaff. 40 miles later and after a mountain storm rolled through it's 65. Ahhhhhhhh

#flyingants trending on UK Twitter.

July has been rubbish in the main, then we get this.

today is hellish (40C) and we’ll get our first heatwave next week, 6 august to 12 august at least. Fuck summer forever

😎

it's about 31c here and that is too much for me, but thank fuck this is only lasting a day.

Thirty-six here. Appalling.

the "plus" side is that it's now dark enough outside for me to think that we might get a storm worthy of the usa midwest, which are apocalyptic. it feels sick.

Lightning app is showing lightning over France, jealous. This is filth.

Am I seriously the only being on this here borad who enjoys the heat?

^^^burn the witch

They’d only enjoy it.

People who love hot weather and are like ISN’T THIS GREAT, especially when the weather is only going to get even hotter and eventually kill us all, are the worst. No questions at this time.

I love it, sorry haters

Maybe you need to have experienced -40°C to truly know the joys of sweltering.

xp *Canuck fist bump*

working up a sweat after 5 mins of jogging >>>>

I lived in south Texas for four years, there were no joys in sweltering at 40C+. one of the many reasons I came here was to avoid usa midwestern summer heat, but as gyac notes there is no escape from global warming. gonna make granitas now.

Y'all need more of this in your lives and you'll come around:

also helpful: I (currently) live in a basement apt, the only upside of which is it's always cool inside #basementprivilege

shoveling snow is the only part of winter I actually enjoy

I don't love it but I don't hate it either. Fuck slush, though.

i have lived in anchorage, minneapolis and montreal, and i will never come around

the only slush I like is in the granitas I'm currently making

Fair enough, seethe away.

I think experiencing a week of Winnipeg in February made me a pro-summer radical forever tbh

Québec City in early January is the worst I’ve experienced but I hear Winnipeg is on another level altogether, so: respect.

I honestly have no fucking clue how anyone lives there.

Just came here to say, "It's like a fucking oven out there", but I see I've been beaten to the punhc.

I don't mind the heat so long as it's dry. Been 109F/42C here past few days and I'm just like pffft is that all ya got, Sun?? But one day recently it was 90ish and just humid enough for me to feel it (weather app said 36%) and I hated life.

"...but it's a dry heat."

lol, xp

WTF why can't we just have one week of 22-24 degrees, sunshine, and no miserable pissy rain.
That's all I ask for.

it's dropped to a more manageable 25 degrees here and dark storm clouds are on the horizon, that's more like it

i just made gazpacho. currently in the freezer until the second before it freezes. i will know when that is just by..... knowing

Heat has dropped six degrees in less than an hour, that’s a storm on the way, right?

Windows open front and back because the resulting breeze is the only way this is bearable. Flat now smells of next door's BBQ.

I can take bbq smells, but the smell of weed from the wanker next door penetrating every room in the house is enough to turn me into a cold-blooded murderer.
