I CAN'T STAND IT THIS HOT!!! (this will be a short thread,timewise, no doubt)

The humidity is quite low during the hottest part of the day, so it's not a total sweatfest. I work in an air conditioned office but have to walk about a mile to get to the bus station so swings and roundabouts really.

This is horrible, ban summer

Oh absolutely, summer is awful, my least favourite season by a considerable margin. Actually this year reminds me a lot of the summer of 2014 when I also had a job in an even more insanely air conditioned office and would step out at the end of the working day into what felt like the surface of Venus.

this is amazing, dublin like the adriatic

low humidity 90 degree days in nyc make me feel like i'm back in vegas

Fuck me, I remember the summer of '06 (in teh britain), it was scorching till the end of july, then august arrived and... it was fucking autumn. Like cloudy every fucking day. Don't even remember it raining overmuch, just relentless off white cloud cover. I associate it with the beginning of a major depressive episode, but it would be a stretch to say it caused it, as such. Lets say, it was not helpful, at that time. The weather did not come through for me when I could have done with at least a handful of sunny days.

I just saw that the anticyclone over Britain should run out by the end of July, and that August (at least in France) will be less hot. I can hope; today it's 31 in Paris and it's a disgusting sweat fest for Pride (but not in a good way).

This entire summer has been amazing so far and we deserve it after the shitty, terrible spring we had.

I'd love it if it was like this all the time but by Christ I would have to change jobs. This week I've had to change into my suit at work to make the commute bearable.

vancouver weather atm is off/on from nice sunny days to rain...that's kinda nice tbh

I live in an attic under a skylight, it's fucking horrible

even though having to work indoors in the heat is rotten, the constant sunshine and light nights have done wonders for my mood, I wish the skies could always be so blue

all my blutack is failing. I take it this must be down to the heat.
So all the images i have on my walls are falling off.
& actually managing to function indoors at all is a chore.

uk schools break for summer holidays in 3 weeks.
that's when this will all be over.

windows open at night
idiot child above us laughs at 140dB

xpost most Scottish schools finished up on Friday

ah ok .. I forgot they break up a lot earlier.
it is often the case that its lovely in the last few weeks of the summer term, and then when that bell rings, out come the clouds.
it has happened several times in the last few years.

"uk schools break for summer holidays"

aka summer is ruined, again. I think it is this Friday here as well, so better get the taser charged up and hatches battened etc!

I was assuming kids here had already broken up.
BUt now have to vie for space on buses with groups of visiting schoolkids from Italy or France. Always seem to stay at one specific point on the bus route and travel in groups of 30.

oh yeah the fuckin yellow backpacks are back clogging the streets

Some of the computer models are indicating all time record highs for parts of UK on World Cup final weekend. Still a long way off but will be interesting if it comes off.

I never understand how people remember the weather in previous years. I've already apparently even forgotten that we had a bad spring.

this is fucking terrible, was really enjoying it when it seemed like summer wouldn't break 70 degrees

greetings from Miami!

new york is miami today

Miami's cooler because of the sea breeze. And even so.

it's the same from miami to toronto

(was yesterday, at least)

i love summer. heat waves can be tough but there is something exhilarating about them

you seem to have confused "exhilaration" with "expiration"

It’s the goddamn U.A.E. outsiders DC right now

So wait it’s actually not humid in DC for once?

Sunday my block was so quiet it was eerie. Everyone either at the beach or indoors, apparently--it's usually noisy and extremely social with kids, ppl walking, gardening, parking, going to the store, etc, but on Sunday there was no sound at all, barely even any traffic noise. Which if you know Brooklyn is a shocking state of affairs.

On the other hand I took a cab (don't ask) down Atlantic yesterday and drove right past a car ON FIRE on Franklin Avenue, with various loud "WHOMP!" explosive sounds coming from it periodically. So that was exciting.

Please tell us you went “holy shit; piiissssss” as you passed the flaming vehicle

I have to admit I have 0% clue what that's a reference to.

Oh right for some reason you aren’t 77ated

It's thundering outside but there's no rain, just blazing heat.

I'm on 77 I've just never seen that clip before? Anyway tx

Just got back last night from Ibiza, where it's been 29 to 31 degrees every day for the past 14 days.

Now I'm sitting at home, looking forward to it becoming 35 degrees or some such...

I CAN'T DO ANYTHING!!

high yesterday here in Austin was 106F/41C... today it's supposed to hit 108F/42C. day seven of 100+ temps... like In Orbit noted upthread, I went for a walk just after sunset yesterday and the college campus was like a ghost town

Air conditioned office FTW but every time I went outside it was like walking into a bakery or maybe a steel mill. Unfortunately I don't sleep in an air conditioned office, so mainly I don't sleep.

about to bike home, it's 110 outside... wheeee

the abundance of butterflies is something I could really get used to, its delightful. The dragonflies seem HUGER this year as well, practically meganeura sized they seem, after I'm heat exhausted and had 3 rapid pints of Staropramen I feel like taking on these dragonflies - one on one, no blades you dive-attacking bastrds!

heatwave declared a natural disaster, in the past 4 days haven't left my apartment for more than 20 minutes

that sounds a bit too damn hot!

it's that 35+ with high humidity. stay hydrated.

Smells stormy around here

maybe AC should be banned in places where it's less than 30 degrees anyway? wonder how much it contributes to the problem it's supposed to solve
