heatwave this week

[Tradewind]

Anything above 30C is just ridiculous for me, which is difficult since my gf is a lizard and whines when it's below 25. I'm definitely a nice room temperature kind of guy. If it sat around 20C with an ever so slight breeze forever, I would be so happy.

My first summer in Houston after a lifetime growing up in the ~23C year round in CA was hell. 40C every day with thunderstorms every single afternoon that summer. I was miserable. Flash forward a few summers later, and I barely notice it when it's 38C outside. Hell, now I go exercise in that weather.

Muahaha we have a convert!

Yeah, I keep my apartment at 20C. Any warmer than that and I sweat through my sheets. I dunno what I'll do when I'm living with a girl.

They're so fickle about temperatures. I mean men can be too, but it's almost entirely dependent upon "scrotal comfort." Which can be varied. These female types are just always too cold or too hot. They're like microwave dinners...so hard to get it just right.

Get her a huge warm blanket to huddle in, and crank up the AC.

My father wont even let me touch the the AC anymore, because he likes it at 74+ and I almost always need it below 71 (preferable 68) to feel comfortable.

Hell yeah, I stood outside for 30 min on a phone, Im drenched now. At least we have a pool and crappy a/c.

Got to laugh at the people in UK complaining about the heat. In the Winter they complain about it being to cold and they want it to be hot. In the summer it's to warm and they want it to be cool/rain.

Guess that's part of being British I suppose.

If its 87 with really high humidity, that is indeed a lot worse than 107 with low humidity.

Well you can get your Post-Apocalyptic Merit Badge, but 87F in an area not usually getting 85+ degree weather is going to be somewhat uncomfortable for those people. Or if you live somewhere that has a 100 degree temperature variation between winter and summer.

Low 20s is the sweet spot. High 20s/low 30s becomes uncomfortable during the night.

[lordmatthias]

Yeah it has been warm here in MN too, this week has been around 95F (35C) with about 65-70% humidity (although today has been better). I did some yard work earlier this week and about died .

Should be like this for the next 4 weeks according to the weather service... but you can never trust them!

I hope they are right! ;P

I live in texas. WTF is low humidity?

[Dezerte]

I hate summer, I hate it so much I really should consider moving further up north.

[Vhoosh]

Vegas had its heat wave a few weeks ago with temps around 117F which 47.2C. Thunderstorms are predicted this weekend so hopefully it will stay cool this weekend, and hopefully stay around 100-105F for the rest of the summer.

[slackjawsix]

[tugnutt7]
