too effing hot

i don't think that's going to be all that successful except in areas where people are already used to bald-faced lying

Do you guys in the UK have the "so what? it's *summer*, it's always like this" crew like we Americans do?

Yes, but with a specific reference to how hot it was in 1976.

we have the summer of '76 crew and people posting from holiday in Turkey saying: it's 46°c here and the streets aren't lined with corpses

Yep, tediously several people have been doing this. Plenty of boomer posts, also saw things like this:

for people with physical health conditions or with autism this shit varies from completely lethal to an absolute nightmare.

109, 109, 108 with indexes above 110 for the next three days

where are you, milo z?

NYC is poised to get 7 straight days of 90+ F (32.2 C) starting Tuesday

My phone is telling me it peaked at 92 in my NJ town today and the next week and a half will be 95, 97, 99, 97, 98, 98, 88 (bliss!), 91, 89.

xp Texas, so there's air conditioning everywhere (until the power grid fails!) but we still get several dozen to 100+ deaths every summer because landlords are monsters/air conditioning is too expensive to replace/our social safety net is an early death.

alert just came across that there will not be a day under 100 for the rest of the month so I can start the annual process of being Stockholm Syndromed into 101 'not feeling that bad really'

JFC

we're around 105 for a while, low humidity though. slc utah. monsoon moisture has been blessing us sporadically over the past two weeks. we're right at the northern tip of its reach so it isn't much. even though the colorado plateau has had a few better than average monsoon years, the colorado river system is basically collapsing from drought.

Stay safe, Planet Earth! Oh wait.

I read something about the arab world being more into the lunar calendar & moon goddesses because it's so fucking hot, and the evening is preferable

maybe it's time that we all go nocturnal

The killer down here is that it will be a low in the high 80s for three minutes at 4AM so there's never a respite, no chance for the daily heat to dissipate, people with bad/no AC can't sleep and don't have anywhere to go.

Along those lines, anyone performing the Hajj this year and not in, say, 2036, is CRAZY.

A change in the weather
Is known to be extreme

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FYB6_fsX0AEEwCk?format=jpg&name=small

it's currently 37.2°outside my house ... fuck

just outside my house (or a mile or two anyway) - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-62219162

Just read that the hottest spot in the UK yesterday was in Suffolk, about 23 miles West of here.

there's an exciting wall of thunder moving slowly up the channel: https://www.blitzortung.org/en/live_lightning_maps.php?map=12

ooh yes, bring it

for real though i kind of suspect we'll start seeing various official sources lying about the weather in the coming years.

Swaffham Bulbeck and Stow cum Quy, you say?

Stow cum Quay is a few minutes up the road, as you drive in there's a sign saying "STOW ᶜᵘᵐ QUAY" like they hope nobody will notice the cum.

it's 40.5°c rn. A couple of degrees higher than what bbc weather is showing. There is a steady breeze but the air is so hot it doesn't bring any relief.

got chubby rain here

had a round of golf today but teed off at 5.30am so it was manageable. still amazed to see joggers towards the end of my round just after 8am when it was getting p crispy.

This is so horrible. Curtains closed all day for the last three days, trapped in an endless cycle of sweating, crying and drinking water to try to replenish my hydration. Everything feels awful. The only okay thing is that the cats seem to be managing alright and are enjoying the novelty of playing with ice cubes.

I am dying for a storm right now.

my poor labbie just gives up and looks despondent, genuinely sadness in his eyes. My son can't cope either and it's much harder to deal with his meltdowns in this heat. Cold showers have been useful though.

Good luck dealing with this calz and other UKers.

thanks PBKR. it's alright now where I am, it dropped 10+ degrees between 3.30 - 5.30 and has rapidly cooled down since then. I feel for people who have to live in these infernal conditions for months at a time.

we have raindrops in stratford

after a day of boiling temperatures the flat is now full of barbeque smoke from somewhere. earlier, at 18:15 in fact, we had fireworks.

I’m assuming that podcast is racist I’m not gonna listen to it

I'd guess you are probably not missing much

Still 98F outside at 10PM

that's the thing -- it's not even so much that it gets hot as that it never cools off

today was the 40th consecutive day over 100° F in austin, texas

the high lows are the creepy thing, definitely

xp jesufuckingcristo

Meanwhile in Melbourne where it never gets that cold/never goes below freezing or snows, its been below freezing 2 days running. Whee.

mail me ice plz thx

El Niño coming. Get ready.

This is absurd. We are just blowing away global sea surface temperature records and we will continue to do so. https://t.co/qUmDzlI7w2 pic.twitter.com/NG5og7u0iO

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.

xp no joke i marveled at how lovely the early summer months were and over the span of the pre-July 4th weekend it turned into the moments of August that i hate dealing with.
