too effing hot

oh great now the sky has turned brown because of a 1000 acre wildfire 30 miles east of me

at least it’s not humid / tornadoes

The #CreekFire in Sierra NF has been updated to 36,000 acres now, no containment. Explosive growth. https://t.co/pZctugf7g0

ISO affects most of California except LADWP if I understand correctly.

that’s..... unliveable

When I was at school, we were allowed to loosen our ties and unbutton our top button after lunch on 40° days

If this reading is verified, it will be the highest temperature ever recorded in Los Angeles city limits. Nearly 121 degrees in Woodland Hills #cawx pic.twitter.com/gVdtXVErpi

something like 110 or some bullshit out in the disgusting east county San Diego backcountry where my parents live. my mom texted me this afternoon "My neighbor’s daughter lives in Crest; has an 8 year old son (wasn’t worried). Her view last night. Sycuan Casino lights are bright" with this accompanying photo that I believe qualifies as "Cursed"

alpine?

this is from Crest, just north of where da folx are by the Sycuan golf course, which is like 3 miles from the Sycuan casino, which is 3 miles from where the fire is in Lawson Valley, which is like 3 miles south of Alpine. I like the area way more in February than I do in September!

ah never heard of it. san diego county is a bigass place. been here 43 years and still learning new spots.

yup it is and I hear ya, in fact it wasn't until 4th of July this year that I learned about a really cool relatively unknown swimming spot (way less frequented than Three Sisters or Devil's Punchbowl) where the Sweetwater River flows thru Horsethief Canyon, which just happens to be a few thousand feet from where that giant fire is in that photo

seems like the pacific time zone is on fire.

mid-80s days and mid-60s nights in the 2nd half of October hurts my feelings

it's not *bad* but 66° with 85% humidity day and night is not what i want from late october

23.2°C here with 62% humidity and it's absolutely glorious.

Temperatures in the south of the UK are decent for the time of year and also oddly humid. Pissing with rain too, mind.

wonderful news everyone: it's 91°F in january

But it's a *dry* heat

Oh whoops we live in California. That's bad huh.

this is what you both deserve for leaving me

I am def not complaining about riding my horse in a tee shirt in January

Tee shirts? Pah!

I can try to up my game today but. . . woman boobs not putin boobs

Good luck to everyone in Oregon and Washington this weekend

Projected temperatures on Sun-Mon across PacNW are so extreme that I think folks are having difficulty putting them into context. There remains some uncertainty, but places along I-5 corridor from Medford to Seattle have potential to *shatter* all-time records. #ORwx #WAwx pic.twitter.com/W9yr7XXxLF

wow that sucks, especially at the solstice

yeah my sister's coming to visit and we were hoping for some exquisite Seattle summer but instead we get Death

*cough*

It was 59ºF in Little Rock this morning.

xp That's rough. My housemate's whole family chose this weekend to come to town and I feel bad for them as well. It's unnerving seeing these temps up ahead and not really knowing what to expect because I've never experienced Seattle in anywhere near that kind of heat.

some people living outside are going to die probably

the city should pay for them to see five movies a day.

It hasn’t even started yet but I’m already so upset about it

Why anyone has had a child in the last two decades is beyond me

Monday is now forecast to reach the temperature at which we were allowed to undo the top button of our shirts at school

Vancouver is expected to set a record temperature for all of Canada's recorded history

Jfc

All-time temperature records are set to fall Sunday - but they’ll only remain for 24 hours until NEW all-time records are re-written on Monday across the South Coast. #BCHeat pic.twitter.com/DsZv119ZGP

Just walked seven blocks to go get tacos and man was that a bad idea. I'm not leaving the house again till this heat wave is over.

The National Weather Service keeps bumping up the forecast high temps for my suburb of Portland. Two days ago they said 107° F on Sunday and 104° F on Monday. Now they say it will be 112° F on both days. The highest temp ever recorded for Portland stands at 107° F. Fuck.

oh shit that's terrible. Here it is currently 100, with 108 forecast for Monday.

I was in Europe during the heat wave of 2003 and I remember being absolutely miserable, but still being able to drag myself around the cities we were supposedly touring. I figured this might be sort of similar. Now I think I must have missed the worst of the 2003 heat wave, because this feels worse than anything I've experienced before. It doesn't really feel safe to be outside at all, unless you can stay in the shade the whole time.

We’re going to a hotel

I hope I’m dead in 20 years

:(

yup it's too fuckin hot in Oregon, tomorrow is gonna be worse

A hotel sounds like a good idea, silby; glad to hear you've got a plan for the worst of the heat.

Hope everyone's staying safe.

If the power grid doesn't fail, we will manage OK in our house. We are also grateful to have several massive old trees in our yard that provide about 5 degrees of cooling just from them doing their normal thing all day.

i have a practice of walking/running about 5 miles a day and it's been hot enough lately that i've been going out later and later, but even at 1am it's going to be in the 80s the next couple of days so, uhhh, guess i'll learn to deal with that

This is unreal. Hoquiam, WA has never climbed above 95°F (on record). They just hit 100 degrees before 11am. 🤯 #PNWheatwave #WAwx https://t.co/HCsaimALBt

This is substantially more psychologically damaging for me than 9/11 and on 9/11 I was 12 years old going to middle school about a mile from the pentagon

It’s a bad world

Yeah I didn't move to Seattle from New Orleans for it to be hotter.

jesus... this thread is reminding me why I never moan about 15°- 20° periods of UK summer with intermittent to constant rainfall and under a veil of grey clouds even when it isn't raining. It sounds fucking horrific lads.

So far today seems better than yesterday because it's breezy, but it's still early. Managed to get to the farmer's market around 11 and it was very hot but bearable. Some angel of mercy was walking around with a spray bottle of water, misting the market workers.

Walking back around noon, the heat started to feel pretty brutal again. Hope the breeze sticks around at least.
