too effing hot

I had rain for like 3 days in a row and got all wet while going home. This morning was 23 degrees. So much happiness for this i cant even begian to talk about it

Woooooo...!

Just like that.

Cheezuz christo, los angeles.

KILL ME NOW

i was in encino friday -- at 113º i went swimming in an 87º pool to cool off and ended up with all sorts of weird breathing trubbles.

my wading pool is too hot to even bother... i take cold showers every hour and stand in front of a fan

do not want

I got pretty used to it being in the 110-115º F range, but now it's in the high 80s/late 90s. If it were 5-10º cooler, I would adore it, but as it stands it just feels like the weather is TEASING me. "It could be Fall, but....naw. Haha."

fuck this shit

I think this shit is supposed to be fucked tomorrow.

THANK GOD

I can't be bothered to check, but I don't think it got to 100 all summer. Which is just bizarre in these parts.

uhhhhh
bleah

Amsterdam was nice, and then I came back home to schvitzville.

Starting to get hot.
the front passenger-side window of my car asploded in the car park on Friday, it was so fucking weird.

..And it was almost definitely the heat as there was no projectile in or around the car and a co-worker was nearby it when it happened.

Glass was everywhere :((

Oh nice. I just posted this to the Chicago thread. This is my local El station

BITE YER TONGUE.

It's October 1, 10:53 PM and it's still 70 degrees. And tomorrow's high is forecasted to be 80. I am ANGRY and I want searing, skin-shattering cold. I have since summer began. I even wanted it in February when we had weeks of record lows.

Bring it on.

Think of those of us who MIGHT DIE.

?

As my father always used to say, "You can always put on more layers in winter." (In summer you can only get so naked and still be miserable.)

Believe me, anyone I encounter in the dead soupy heat of summer has their lives in danger.

I'm really skinny, anemic, and have poor circulation. Winter is just 4 months of shivering for me. I live in Chicago because I hate myself, obv.

But I suppose I'm glad that some people enjoy the Time of Sad.

Ppl complaining about today being too hot here already. In Melbourne. In SPRING. The hell?

I'm lovin it.

But then again it isnt blindingly hot.

I complain about too hot when the snow starts to melt. Not being contrary for its own sake, but summer makes me cranky, miserable, and depressed. I stay inside next to the A/C that is cranked to the coldest setting.

Like so many people in Chicago I have radiators with a mind of their own, so even when it's 10 degrees outside, I open the windows and let the wind in.

Not being contrary for its own sake, but summer makes me cranky, miserable, and depressed.

Get rid of "depressed" and I echo your feelings. I anticipate the first snowstom of winter with much glee.
And fall is my favorite.

Fall is wonderful. Though I don't appreciate how summer is encroaching on it. But in its purest form it is delightful--cool, sometimes sunny, sometimes drizzly, and the smells are the best.

it should not be 86 degrees f right now, here

I know, the now-weekly 100 year storm

Brought my Tevas to work for wading through the ensuing floodwaters on my commute. o___O

The country of Japan reached their all-time highest recorded temperature yesterday.

At least it was in the right month?

Lol, we just rode the train up from DC today and our poor kid was sloshing around in her birkenstocks as we tried to get back to our hotel after a late lunch and shopping excursion, right before the real storms kicked off.

I feel like we brought the flood warnings with us from down south.

well, the heat finally broke here, and it's not raining either. we've had one or the other for a month.

now it's all wildfire smoke from canada! :/

that record (106F) didn't last long, it was broke (107F) just 5 days later

wow

oddly salt lake city has been relatively smoke-free this year, and we haven't had very many days over 100 compared to the last few years. it is quite dry but south of us is where it's really bad. our major fire has been the monroe canyon fire in the middle of utah. wild fire behavior on that one, it's been pretty much unstoppable for just about a month. something like 15% contained at this point.

i drove the highway that it just jumped about 3 weeks ago. at that time the fire was 30 miles to the southwest. people are talking about it getting up to fish lake - hope that doesn't happen (rip pando).

So California is experiencing a heat wave, as seen in the news

I can more or less handle the heat, but the combination of heavy rains followed by dry, windy heat is making the pollen go crazy! I kinda thought I had mostly outgrown seasonal allergies (with a carve-out for a period in June where some stupid invasive tree blooms) but this is bringing me back to my childhood misery of the 70s/80s when the only remedy was fucking Benadryl... ugh

(and yes I realize that complaining about hot sunny weather is probably gonna get a tiniest violin concerto from the rest of the country)

read that this was the most over 80 degree days for the early months in so cal since they started keeping track. i for one love it.

xp i fully support anyone anywhere who complains about hot weather

it is the worst

It's supposed to be 24°F/-4°C overnight.

But "hey plains, you're in the wrong thread, this is the too eff—"

It's supposed to be 88°F/31°C on Saturday.

Sunday afternoon in Austin it was 97F/36C. Today the high was 54F/12C! Wheeeeeeeeeeee

also apparently every flight into nyc/boston today was canceled due to rain/wind/fog?

5pm in Oakland CA - it's about 90F/34C or something like that. Not THAT hot but absolutely unheard of on St Patricks Day

It's still winter in Oakland.

I mean, I guess seasons don't care about where the sun is in the sky. First 21 days of Christmas are during autumn.

But 90°, damn.

It was 89 … I think that might have been the hottest it got all last summer—- which was actually pretty mild .

Oh, 89, say no more. Must've felt cool like Ballycroy then.

it's going to go from 10F on Monday and 70mph winds to a predicted 85F on Saturday this week here. woooooo

I don't mind getting all the weather, but all of it in one week seems excessive

So California is experiencing a heat wave, as seen in the news

the entire west but yes only california matters ;)

it's a record-smashing event all the way to the plains

and iowa too apparently :)

forecast for low 80s through saturday in slc. pretty much ending the already abysmal ski season and coming off an all-time warm winter (a record set by a few places in the west this year, including new mexico and colorado).

wildfires gonna be interesting this year, high chance of some exurbs getting lit up imo

L.A. was almost 10 degrees warmer than Miami last week.

we've actually been annexed into the greater ozarks somehow. surprising and unexpected

Up there, it's called Mononashine.

And it’s not even June.

i just bought a bunch of Double Cherry Magnums so

32 degrees C here.

33C in the centre of Central London. Walked Widget very early with friend out east, home by 11am, now chugging ice water in a rotating series of refilled Evian bottles which thaw from frozen solid. Dog in siesta mode. We are not moving until the temp hits 29C at least.

our cat is having chemo at the moment, 33C london is not helping her feel okay... thankfully back down to 24 on wednesday

My sister up North (UK) sent me a picture of her kids on a stuck train, where she said it was 88 but felt like 100. The kids are pale and pink cheeked in the best of circumstances, but they looked like they were either going to melt or burst into flame. One of them was shirtless and glowering.

Just back from Athens, London feels twice as hot tbh.

saw at least three different sets of people with personal electric fans on the bus earlier.

bus was fine when it was moving but buses stop, a lot.

this is horrible, cannot do anything until the sun goes down

Just back from Athens

Was just there myself a few weeks back. Perfect weather apart from the first couple of days where it was colder than London.

Resenting a little how much this is making me look forward to an office day tomorrow but sleeping OK so far and bought another big fan half-price.

Going well over 30C in May is pretty fucked up and annoyingly the forecasts/models didn't seem to gauge it was going to be this hot until it was a bit too late to leave the city for a few days.

good luck Bordeaux, jfc

head underground

30 degrees C in the office this afternoon and I can't WfH as all the spare equipment is at work. Manageable with a 15" fan blasting in my face and a watercooler in the kitchen. On the way home it seemed that I'm the only person in this part of England who owns a hat, or at least has the sense to wear a hat in this weather. I joked with a co-worker earlier in the day that if they didn't watch out their skin would match the colour of their salmon pink shirt. Later on I saw people who if they weren't already that burnt would soon be.

everyone laughs at the cowboy hat until they're pounding the pavement and it's 100F+/40C+ outside

A few years ago another co-worker referred to it as a "khaki fishing hat" which I took umbrage at only to look at the label to find that it is indeed khaki. Not a fishing hat though. It has a 2 inch wide brim which is apparently SPF 20.
