How hot is it where you live?

[Vash01]

This should be an annual thread. It's always very hot in summer, in Phoenix, Arizona. I am always watching to see if we broke any kind of record. Today we did, with 118 deg. F (47.8 deg.C). They say "but it's dry heat". That is small consolation when the temperatures are really high. Fortunately most buildings and cars are air conditioned. I got my AC fixed just in time. It broke down last Sunday and I was without AC while the temperatures outside were around 113-114 deg.F. It was miserable, and if not for my pool, it would have been a lot worse. I am grateful that my AC is working now.

How hot is it where you are and how are you dealing with it?

Its been anywhere between 95-102 most days. Its only going to get hotter here in Dallas....July and August into early September are horrible. You just don't go outside between 12-5. Especially if its an orange or red ozone day. :scream:

I was telling my mom early this week that I just don't remember it being *this* hot when I was a kid, 10-12 years ago. And I was right, apparently this is the hottest summer in 30 years?

Not in Vancouver BC. I've been wearing my spring jacket everyday. There have been a few hot days but mostly it's been cool and overcast. Today it looked like summer had finally arrived, but then it clouded over and started to rain.

Not that I envy the heat you're getting in Texas. I experienced 117 degrees in Death Valley California and it was not fun.

But I do like warm summer evenings and could do with some of those.

It is winter here. But our usual top temperatures range between 14-17C. It can get to low single figures at night.

I currently live in relatively mild part of Portugal it's been 23-24º C over the past few days, but when it gets hot it goes to 38-39ºC, in general there aren't as many hot days as there are in the town where I was born. In Beja the month of August hits at least 37ºC everyday, we call 34ºC a fresh day, but gladly it's dry heat and I'd rather spend a 38ºC day there than a 30ºC where I am now... Humidity plays a big role, same with cold weather.

My goodness! :eek: In the Azores, the temperature rarely reaches 27ºC, and I already think it's very hot! :lol:

Bwah. It's summer here (Maritimes, Canada), and that describes our last week. It's been a really cold spring/early summer. I love it.

Winter here too (South Brazil). We're getting some chilly days (to our standarts, anyway).
Tempertatures have been ranging form 5ºC - 12ºC, not counting the Minuano wind (south wind, courtesy of Antartica) and Pampeiro (West, from the Andes), which will drop how you feel the temperatute to below zero.

Right now (10:30) it's 6ºC, feeling like 3ºC.

It's summer here. Our daily temps have been close to that, usually about 15-19C. :cold: Where are you summer?!?! :wuzrobbed

Not too hot in greater Boston, MA, USA, but the humidity is off the charts. Has us wishing for the promised thunderstorms later today.

[michiruwater]

It's been somewhere between 75-85 (24-29) pretty much every day in the Upper Peninsula.

In Ypsi it was weird weather but in and around the mid-to-upper 80s at most times.

Where I live, the highs tend to be in the lower nineties while the lows are in the upper seventies. High humidity is a constant during the summer months.

I once flew from LA to Phoenix and when I exited the aiport I thought I hit a wall. It was the first time I went to a place that hot and that dry. Especially going by air, you don't have a nice and slow transition. :rofl:

I loved it :shuffle:

Vash01, my aunt lives in Phoenix. I spoke to her yesterday and she said she won't even go outside. Also told me that the day before yesterday a transformer blew, near where she lives (she wasn't effected, thank goodness). And that the poor people in the area lost their electricity for most of the day - no A/C!

Here it's not too hot, but it's raining - blech!

[Matryeshka]

It got over 100 here yesterday, and the humidity was in the 90s. And no, it didn't freaking rain, which is what it would do if the weather was normal.

There are pockets of elderly people that live in homes without A/C in New Orleans, and absolutely refuse to get it, even when others offer to donate and install for free. This is proof that yes my generation is in fact a group of wimps, though we are much cooler.
