I'm melting, what a world

[Stilettoprefer]

Er.. where do you live?

Because here is summer we get 30+ degrees (C) and 90-95% humidity. You can't sleep because your entire body is drenched in sweat, and so is anything you touch, your too hot inside, its too hot outside and its RAINING!. If you leave the windows open, everything goes mouldy. Food, clothes, Everything.

Was a big change from where I used to live, which was 40+ degrees in summer with about 0% humidity You sure wouldn't want to live there without an AC either. Open the windows there and all you'll get is a 45 degree breeze that will take any moisture right out of you, straight off the desert.

Oregon I spent a while in New Orleans a summer ago and I was fine without any AC... same with LA a week ago. No AC in an 8 passenger van and I was fine with just opening windows.

And, btw I'm not Norwegian

Yes, it is a wonderful world!

I am personally glad, at times, that man (and woman) has made such progress in this world that we have the ability to cool ourselves off in times of extreme heat.

And for air conditioning

It's been rather pleasant on the beach.

LMAO, Oregon where it gets up to 80 degrees maybe, you don't need AC or even a fan and at night you need a sweater.
Some people like the heat, I don't.

Why do people live in Australia?

Please send a bit of that rain.

One time I was attending a conference in Scottsdale at the Camelback Inn, I was driving back from the GC in Peoria, and it started to rain. The water running off my windshield was the color of mud. I thought, "Cripe, my windshield was a lot dirtier than I thought!" So I turned on the wipers, fully expecting the water to be clear, yet is was still brown. It was raining mud! It took about 10 to 15 minutes before the rain turned clear.

That is all.

Closest I came to that was about a week long stretch of hell in Chicago (of all places) back in the summer of '94 or '95. It was over 100 for about a week, with high humidity and I think the high topped out at 106 one of those days. I had a little window air conditioner in my 2 BR apartment on the 2nd floor and ran it full blast day and night for the duration and the COOLEST that apartment ever got was 85 degrees.

IIRC over 300 people died in that stretch... a lot of them elderly people living in the projects without A/C who either couldn't or wouldn't (for safety reasons) open their windows.

I got all y'all beat. Try being a big man like me and doing post-Katrina mold remediation in New Orleans in June and July.

I guess we don't like the cold

 

[MJ5150]

I think of Australia as this always warm sunny place where people drive on the beach, then eat shrimp and steak.

I think of Australia as this always warm sunny place where people drive on the beach avoiding kangaroos and koalas, then eat shrimp and steak, and poop it out into a toilet that swirls in the other direction.

Fixed it for you

You can do that at Pismo Beach right here in California.

105 degrees today in Dallas, officially. At times when I was driving home from work I hit "pockets" up to 109. Didn't break the record - 107 - but it was the hottest day of the year, and with having already had 14 triple digit days this Summer (16 is AVERAGE), we're in for a hot, hot, record summer.

It sucks!!

A sweater at 80 degrees? 80 degrees plus, and I'm melting.

 

[duff beer]

If your smart about when you have windows open and blind use, there is no need for such a contraption.

If you're smart, you also know the difference between "your" and "you're"...

 

[Fassa Albrecht]

More rain here....shame I can't post some in an envelope to some of you guys!

I feel your pain, especially the lack of sleep due to sweat part. It was so humid a few days back that my bass strings were getting rusty to the point of staining my hands. This was when I was wiping them thrice a day I was eating poppadums fresh off the frying pan and they got totally mushy in about half a minute by the clock Not to mention how everyday turns into a bad hair day.

Not many homes in Monterey are equipped with A/C and they don't need it. I wore a jacket today.
