dude Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 It just reached 100 degrees on my patio. In the shade. 100. Tomorrow's supposed to be hotter! C Aw Cole, sorry you're having a cold streak! Shall I send over some blankets? It's a balmy 113 here... Mike Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yeah, but I'm smart enough to avoid Palm Springs in the summer. 113. Hmmm. Bet you're not spending much time lying out by the pool! C Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Big deal. Was mid 90's here. But it's a dry heat. Link to comment
Guest Dabeagle Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 At least it's not snow, at least it's not snow.... Link to comment
The Pecman Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 It's hotter where we are, Cole, out here in the dreaded Valley... the depths of Los Angeles. Just checked: 97 degrees, no AC. We enjoy the suffering -- it makes us human. Link to comment
Camy Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 And there's me thinking 85 is too hot.... Link to comment
The Pecman Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Whoa-oh, it's too hot (too hot) too hot, baby... gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade... #5 from 1980, huge dance hit. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I do have A/C. Call me a wimp. I keep it set at 78. I don't like it hotter than 78 in the house. C Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Get rid of the humidity and it's not to bad. I'll still take the a/c. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Our normal humidity when it's hot is around 30%. Nothing like the Midwest where it runs 65-85%. Our 100 degrees is actually bearable. And Pec, sure. We've got a spare room. And a pool. And a fierce dog. Oh, wait. You'd have to leave your cats home. And it would be about an hour's drive to work each day. C Link to comment
The Pecman Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Ah, the dog would eat the cat. Sad, but it might be worth it. I'm freelance, so I go where the work takes me. Link to comment
TalonRider Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 In my area of the East Coast, it's been a roller coaster ride this summer. Its ranged from the 70's to the 90's. So far in July we've only had 2 heat waves, that is 3 consecutive days or more of 90 degrees. Link to comment
gwilym.pocock Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I hope that isn't in Celsius. I was on a 5 hour coach drive from my college to Cambridge university with 30 other teenagers, and it was 100f (37c). The air conditioning was broken and there were no windows. The smell was delightful. Link to comment
Merkin Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Please be careful about taking your pets outdoors in excessive heat. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Ah, the dog would eat the cat. Sad, but it might be worth it. I'm freelance, so I go where the work takes me. The work is mostly where you are, west and northwest. I'm east. We don't make porn films out here, for instance, so there wouldn't be much work. Those are all made near you. OK, OK, don't get your knickers in a twist. I was teasing. And I have no doubt the cat would destroy the dog. The dog tips the scale at about nine pounds. C Link to comment
dude Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Another balmy day in the California desert... currently according to the 6 p.m. news... 116 degrees. Not a record, though that was 120 on this date! Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Wow! 104 here, but that doesn't hold a candle to where you are, Mike. C Link to comment
colinian Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 85 in Berkeley today. 103 in Walnut Creek where Doug and I are moving, but earlier in the week the highs were in the mid-70's. (The move is so Doug's close to the train to Davis and I'm still close to BART.) Colin Link to comment
The Pecman Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 95 in the shade in Northridge. Stultifying. Link to comment
Merkin Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'll take hot and dry anytime over hot and humid. Anyone spending midsummer anywhere near the Chesapeake Bay knows what I'm talking about. Did I say mosquitoes? I picked up one of those fake tennis racquets designed to electrocute flying insects and my principal exercise in the summer is swinging that thing. Link to comment
TalonRider Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'll take hot and dry anytime over hot and humid. I'll agree with you on that. You know it's bad when as soon as you put on your sunglasses and the steam up immediately a eight in the morning. Link to comment
The Pecman Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I gotta say, where I grew up (Tampa, Florida), it was frequently 90 degrees and 90% humidity in the summer. Not fun. Link to comment
Gee Whillickers Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Up here in the frozen north it's not always quite so frozen as some seem to believe. We were at the lake last week, and with temperatures constantly at around 40 C (104 F) and 75% humidity it was a bit hard to take. We were in our old camper, no air conditioning. It was hot. Now, back home, it's considerably more tolerable. 30 today, so around 85 F. Fortunately, we're at a high enough elevation (think Denver) that no matter how warm it is during the day, the nights cool off quickly after sunset. Link to comment
