It Is So Hot My Soap Melted - Epsilon - 07-09-2010
No, seriously. It is fucking hot. I went to take a (cold) shower and when i picked up my bar of soap it melted in my hands. Holy fuck.
I can't think in this weather...

Wait, whereabouts do you live?
- robkelk - 07-09-2010
The same city I live in. And neither of us have working A/C at the moment, so we can't beat the heat by visiting each other.
Stay hydrated, Epsilon. It's literally necessary, to survive this heat wave...

Sounds like the summer I spent in Chicago, most of which I spent facedown in the bathtub with the cold water going.
It's pretty bad here, too.. we're looking at a high of almost 70 degrees this weekend, it's horrible!

Current temperature in Montreal: 29 C (84.2 F)
temperature felt (aka with humidex) : 39 C (102.2 F)
It's actually colder now than it was for most of the week.

Huh, that's not hot. Come back when it's 40+ C, then complain.
That's about where I'd like the heater to be set at but can't cos it works best at 20-26C.

Wow. Ok. I may live in one of the hottest states in the US, but at least I have working AC. My sympathies.

Rod H Wrote:Huh, that's not hot. Come back when it's 40+ C, then complain.If that includes the humidex, then we can complain. It's been in the mid-30s all week, with humidex pushing that up to the low-to-mid-40s. (For the metrically-impaired, core temperature in a healthy adult averages 37.) I just got out of a cold shower five minutes ago. My body is already covered in sweat.
Thank Prime, the forecast low for tonight is 19 - that's the first break we've had all week.

This calls for a playing of "Heatwave" by Martha and the Vandelas. Has anyone tried the old fry the egg on a hot plate yet?
I can't really complain here in "sunny" Cali...June gloom has become July gloom...cool and overcast in the morning and sunny in the afternoon. You'd think we were in England in the summer.

We just had our heatwave break, after a fashion; it's still Muggy as hell, but it's "we're USED to this soup" summer temps.

It just broke here, too - the temperature's dropped 5 degrees (9-10 degrees F) in the last three hours, and it's still going down. All the windows are open, despite the continuing thunderstorm warning...

Don't talk to me about rain... It hasn't actually been *incredibly* hot here, but the humidity was insane for a while.
Thankfully, that seems to have passed. Still warmer than I'd like, but basically tolerable.

5 thirty in the afternoon, still 92. Insane humidity.
No can brainz. Dey melted
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?

Where they live in Mass, my parents really wish they had rain. Their lawn, which was beautiful and green a month ago, is now brown all over. It's been similar conditions here in Vermont as everyone else (low-, mid-nineties with ridiculous humidity), but we've managed to get a little rain here and there.
- Kurisu - 07-10-2010
Every 3-4 we've been getting thunderstorms... it's rained so much, the grass in the yard has fungus in it. Heck of a time trying to keep the dogs out of the 'srooms.

And the people over here in Los Angeles are complaining about the weather here. Spoiled bunch, eh?

*Snerk* Yeah, I'd take LA's June/July Late night early morning low clouds and more moderate temps over what I've got right now...
In fact, I think I will come August. If I can ever find an apartment to move into.

Do you not know what you are saying? Here!?! On a forum with inhabitants who for six months or more of the year they have to deal with frozen water. Y'know, that stuff called snow! Quick off to Hobart we must transport you for we might get lucky and find the ANARE/P&O icebreaker on which to smuggle you on board for a little trip, south.
I only truly start complaining 'bout cold when it gets to single digits either side of 0C. Usually by then the heater's stopped working and I've decamped to bed.
