it's even nicer outside london, though, matt!

ugh. give me super strong air conditioning and a coke any day. actually, just give me winter.

ive been taking 3 or 4 cold showers a day lately (our air conditioning isnt working so great) and saying 'i need to lower my core temperature!' but i thought i made that up. those showers are rocking my world right now.

i do heart peaches, btw. pineapple is preferrable though.

If I could have a copy of Shonen Knife's version too then it might perk me up. *begx0rz*

I'm worried now that I'm thinking of a completely different song to the rest of you.

holy CRAP toronto is gross and hot... 35 already this morning... supposedly 44 today with the 'humidex'. that is crazy hot. oh joy.

my house has central a/c, but my roommate (the houseowner) is not turning it on, because he feels it is some sort of personal challenge that he can "make it all the way" to the end of summer without ever using it (he's worried about the cost moreso than the environment, but that too). i mean, i'm all for saving money and not blasting AC all the time, but COME ON. i'm sweatin' like a rapist in the place, so turn the damn thing on for chrissakes! it's coming on tonight one way or the other...

When I'm landscaping and it's really hot, I love to do that classic thing—fill my hat with water and put it back on my head. Generally I've already hosed down my head, but the hat thing is, I don't know...my duty as part of the pastoral landscape?

is it really 40C in NYC today and tomorrow? holy shiit

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Poor Anna. She must be melting.

But they have, like AC everywhere there.

― Kaet (kate), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I mean, even the trains are air conditioned in NYC. GOD I MISS AIR CONDITIONING!!!

― Kaet (kate), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:06 (seventeen years ago) link

the AC is the main reason i came into work today, otherwise i was contemplating a day off...

that's not all that out of the ordinary

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:08 (seventeen years ago) link

bbc sez 29C in San Francisco today but between 24 and 26 tomorrow and Friday which is much more my bag.

Berlin is looking at 39C this weekend tho!

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:08 (seventeen years ago) link

no i suppose not. hotter than Cairo and Calcutta tho.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:09 (seventeen years ago) link

it would be out of the ordinary in SF

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Lima sounds pleasant this week.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:11 (seventeen years ago) link

the air con on the new Southern trains totally rocks at least. made up for the horrible bus journeys yesterday.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it might be a few summers since we hit 100, but we had multiple 90-degree days last (?) summer

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:17 (seventeen years ago) link

summer sucks adult cockadoodles

― Rev. PappaWheelie (PappaWheelie 2), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh yeah, I LOVE Southern trains. I'm kind of annoyed that my journey only lasts six minutes every day before I have to enter the boiling concrete hell of work.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Hm, I can't decide whether the lovely cool of swimming in the sea would be worth the accompanying torture of the shadeless beach this evening.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:30 (seventeen years ago) link

but it'll be the evening! you won't need the shade surely

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually this morning has been cool and overcast, hurrah marine layer! There was even a bit of rain. Then again, we'll see how long this lasts.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:34 (seventeen years ago) link

i've been in the sea pretty much all weekend which was fab, i was only on the shadeless beach for a few minutes. take a big brolly?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Yep, it's pretty hot right now. I caught a cold from living in A/C world over the weekend, and now I'm trying to get some humidity in my throat by having the windows open.

― def zep (calstars), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:35 (seventeen years ago) link

It'll be about 6.30pm which is still bright sunlight and boiling hot at the moment ken!

Maybe brolly is the way to go.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 17 July 2006 13:36 (seventeen years ago) link

It seems like summer is really becoming less of a season and more just the way things are. Over the past few years it sounds like cities that don't normally see many 90F+ days are getting them (and suffering since they aren't prepared.) Here winter is becoming extinct (I only wore my coat once this winter.) and summer stretches exhaustingly from March through October. I tried to find some charts are something that showed the average temperatures over the past couple of decades to see if this true but I couldn't find any. Anyone know where something like that is?

I did find current yearly info for Austin-average of 111 days above 90°F (32°C) and 198 days above 80°F (27°C). That's almost the whole year! I would like to see if this differs from averages in the 1980s though.

In the UK I expect people are already comparing this Summer to the 'scorcher' of '76 (I think it was that year). Perhaps it will surpass that even. At least we're thwarting that third Ice Age.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 17 July 2006 20:39 (seventeen years ago) link

why 3rd?

― Ed (dali), Monday, 17 July 2006 20:40 (seventeen years ago) link

38 degrees?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Monday, 17 July 2006 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Fucking LA is 23 degrees this week. Not fair.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Monday, 17 July 2006 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

You and your wacky Celsius.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 17 July 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

ts: celsius vs centigrade

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 17 July 2006 21:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, lovely summer! Give me 100-110 degrees+ and long pants, huzzah!

― ALLAH FROG (Mingus Dew), Monday, 17 July 2006 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

i hate u

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 17 July 2006 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Allah Frog, are you still in the tri-cities? Has this heat got to your brane yet?

― Jaq (Jaq), Monday, 17 July 2006 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Seattle weather is always so miserable... NOT! (granted, things look a bit scary towards the end of the week, but still a picnic in comparison to the rest)

― San Diva Gyna (and a Masala DOsaNUT on the side) (donut), Monday, 17 July 2006 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Still in the TCs indeed, for the moment, but I may be moving to LA springish. Heat has yet to cook my brain like an egg, but it did manage to burn my hands today, thanks to superheated metal.

― ALLAH FROG (Mingus Dew), Monday, 17 July 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

i passed one of those bank signs with the temperature the other day and it said it was 122 degrees!! my own thermometer said only 110, but it's in the shade...

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Monday, 17 July 2006 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

okay
twin cities = mpls-stpaul
quad cities = something in iowa
tri-cities = ?

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 17 July 2006 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Masala DOsaNut, you are so so cruel! But keep those temps around for August, when I will actually be there to enjoy them.

AF, we should FAP after we both have moved away from this place, to revel in the nostalgia for heat/dust/radioactive and chemical waste.

tri-cities = richland, pasco, kennewick washington (location of the Hanford nuclear reservation).

― Jaq (Jaq), Monday, 17 July 2006 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks! is there a tri-cities minor or junior hockey team or something?

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 17 July 2006 22:02 (seventeen years ago) link

The Americans

― Jaq (Jaq), Monday, 17 July 2006 22:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, really I can't wait to get the hell out of here. Nothing to do with the summer weather though, which is a treat generally. Moreso the general boringness of the area, plus all the crazyass extreme Christians/Mormons. Where're you looking at moving to, Jaq?

― ALLAH FROG (Mingus Dew), Monday, 17 July 2006 22:16 (seventeen years ago) link

35C in Bozeman, MT right now, at nearly 6pm.

(obvious) trick: spicy food and hot drinks will cool you right off. your body overcompensates, and you sweat like a motherfucker. then, go stand in front of a fan and feel the sweet, sweet evaporation.

― gbx (skowly), Monday, 17 July 2006 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link

36 in Charlotte NC.

Damn, I should be getting curry tonight.

― pleased to mitya (mitya), Monday, 17 July 2006 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

35 C in nyc

but at least i'm not in charlotte!

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 17 July 2006 22:44 (seventeen years ago) link

40C/104F in Dallas/Ft Worth.

Hey we just had that Jehovah Witness convention here last weekend - did you not get the personal invite?

Get me back to Seattle.

― Jaq (Jaq), Monday, 17 July 2006 22:48 (seventeen years ago) link

39C or so here, plus high winds and dust storm just blew through. Should be well over 40C by the weekend.
