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.

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

Currently 92 here, lost power almost an hour ago.

We’re gonna die

Our power was back in an hour, thankfully, but my mom out in rural PA has had no power for two days now, thanks to a pre-heat thunderstorm/possible nearby tornado. She's been staying at a friend's house.

ffs francie

Currently I am in Boston and it is a million degrees.

wow, cracking 100 in the Northeast! hang in there... find a body of water and stay in it.

this is the first time I ever remember August heat in June

just heard that a transformer exploded a couple blocks away from me. we still have power but i'm guessing there are at least a few streets around me without

i've been in brooklyn for 19 years and can remember it being like this maybe three or four times total -- and yeah, never in june

xp what a nightmare

Helllllllllllllp

Although it makes sense June would feel like August since April felt like June

truly horrible heat.

I walked around the office building an hour ago. During the first loop I thought, "It's hot, but it doesn't feel that humid, it's not so bad." I cut the second loop short.

Supposedly 35 degrees cooler here in two days.

can't remember a hotter day than this in my lifetime

I went out and grilled a week's worth of chicken this morning at 7 so I could stay out of this hot soup. My wife has reverse SAD and is in the deepest funk of the year.

The heat finally broke here yesterday (upper midwest) and now we're getting a full week of rain. I'll take it.

i can remember heat this bad in my lifetime, but it is rare enough that i usually choose to forget it.

The worst I can ever, ever remember was 2001 in Jersey City which was probably on par with what's happening right now but at that time I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A WINDOW AC UNIT.
(I just checked, it was this.)

My mattress was actively hot, like it was a heated platform. The door knobs in my apartment were too hot to touch with a bare hand. I took a shower with fully cold no hot water at all and I could feel the heat transferring out of me into the cold water in a way I can't explain, it was just extreme. I laid down under a fan with I think a wet sheet over me bc that was actually cooler and at least allowed me to get some sleep.

Yeah winter energizes me. This weather makes me regret life.

I am so looking forward to revisiting the Miserable Pissy Rain thread in a couple of days.

I wish I were in a lake.

in orbit, I remember that summer vividly— it was the first time that we kept the AC window unit in the living room all night, i slept on a couch, my mom slept on another couch, and my dad slept on the floor (he likes sleeping on the floor).

Ooof! I'm glad someone else remembers. Shortly after that I started dating someone who for some reason had an extra window unit floating around in his family and gave it to me. I've had some kind of AC ever since, but the memory of that 3-ish days is unblunted.

London is also a bit wavey (anything over 80F is difficult here unless the air is very dry, which is never) but we had overnight misty rain and a breeze all morning for short-lived relief. It’s back to being like walking around in a hot flash, though.

Crazy that it's currently showing 6 degrees cooler here in Tennessee than in NYC (94 vs. 100). Normal high for this date is 88 here and 80 in NYC. So New York is 20 degrees hotter than normal, whooee.

(I'm glad we got our AC fixed two weeks ago, regardless.)

I’m from the Houston area but I’ve been in Savannah for a few years. Very used to heat.

Two days ago my daughter and I started a road trip to PA to drop her off at a summer camp. Like a fool I wasn’t paying attention to the weather and fuuuuuuck it’s hot. I’m walking around cities and exploring and half the shops don’t have AC that can handle this. I checked out a cool bookstore called Mostly Books that had no AC and I would have closed for the day if I worked there.

I am grateful for my dinky AC window units but I resent having to use them, and I resent not being able to go outside most of the day.

most of all I resent the idiots who are like "this is normal, actually"

I always do a big food shop on heatwave days because nobody here has AC and aside from the cinema, supermarkets are the main aggressively cooled space in British towns and cities.

I’ve been in Ireland for most of the past week & it’s 10-15 degrees cooler than it was in the UK where I live, not looking forward to going back

feeling for you guys

San Francisco Bay is barely 60*, it's 2pm and still haven't seen the sun today, just grey & overcast

That sounds heavenly tbh

Bay Area weather rules

the fact it's like this in June... sure i wouldn't have been surprised in July or August... this isn't changing anytime down the road.

living in the back of beyond means that when it's hot on either coast you sure hear about it and when it's hot where you are no one gives a fuck.

xp

in the Calif. foothills we had a June weekend that felt like late winter (like 75 F when it's typically 90+). was a godsend but totally freakish. not bragging, i hope all are keeping cool, but that was like an extreme weather event in the opposite direction. which will of course reverse post haste

^^^off-topic, totally braggin, ban this poster

there was a little snow in the freak Tahoe storm the other day, where the boat capsized

My wife has reverse SAD and is in the deepest funk of the year.

I didn't know reverse SAD was a thing but I'm glad I can now give my misery a name. I'll take a snowstorm any day over whatever this is. I went through three goddamn t-shirts yesterday, and I say that as a person who most people would describe as "mostly sedentary"

I was in the Yosemite backcountry last week and it was 90F on Wednesday and it dropped to 39F by Thursday night.

Talk about not knowing what to pack.

I think I have both winter SAD and summer SAD and I wonder what life would be like if I just lived somewhere that’s perpetually 50-70F year-round like San Diego. I’d probably come up with new conundrums

Central Europe is hovering between 32-35°C (90-95°F) right now, with a bit of air. It is fine / tolerable if you close the shutters, stay mostly indoors, don't live under a roof. Nights are still a few degrees under 20°C (68°F) so there's respite after 8 pm. But I'm thinking there's not much margin: residential buildings don't have AC, towns don't have enough trees / shade, and the air is relatively humid.

Also my car's AC broke down, that was a test in endurance and I still need a week to get it repaired. Took forever to find a spare part on the second hand market, and in the end I found one... right next to my garage (that the guy hadn't told me about).

I became so bored of nice weather when I lived in Oakland. I would literally say, “Ew, it’s sunny,” and mean it.

Remember being so excited to see rain in San Diego after 27 days without a drop. Posted on social media, ran outside and had my giddy moment.
World best climate is still Johannesburg though.

But then one has to live in South Africa, which, no fucking thanks.

Much of California doesn't see a drop for months and months at a time in the summer... a mediterranean climate, which is pretty rare in the world: dry summers and wet winters. Chile and Western Australia are other places like that, and of course the actual Mediterranean
