RRRRRrrrrrrrr....it's tooooooo *$^#%! hot here.
It's so hot, Ken Lay is probably glad he's burning in Hell.
It's so hot, the birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
Same here in Vancouver, TehBorken. I CAN'T stand the heat. So hard to sleep at night.

Yeah, I get real cranky when it gets above ~80 or so.

Try living in the midwest. It was 100+ everyday this week until finally a storm came through and put it down into the 80's. People are dying. The city looks like a mess do to all the tornadoes. Power and water is out in the poor areas of the city. The National Guard was called in. 500k people are still without power and 50,000 are without proper water. TV towers are down. Radio signals are down. Paper isn't printing.
Well they finally are starting to bring power out to the people but the urban decay area of st. louis (north saint louis) still has 100% of electricty and water out after 4 days since the storm came through.

[DIV class=head3 style="FONT-SIZE: 16px" size="1"]It will be in the upper 80's low 90's for most of the next week. But alas by the 30th the 100's will be back along with its notorious st. louis humidity where you can't breathe its that bad. during this entire week heat indexs where around 115.

Apparently we have different definitions of the word "living".

Sounds mighty tempting, but I'll pass.
Hey I can't stand it here either. Thats why I'm moving to your neck of the woods. (hopefully)
It's not that great here right now. Heat records are being broken all over the place.
Same goes with me, records being smashed left, right and centre.
Would that be LPs or 45rpms?
78s - for which matter, a temperature of only 78 would be a nice experience at present.
As I recall, 78s melt rather nicely in the heat. And 78 as a temperature would be heavenly right now. I've put a table fan right beside me, and it's still too hot.
What have you got at the moment? We've been in the low nineties most of the day.
The Humidex is 29C (84F) by the water but inland it's higher. Likely about 33 or 34 degrees by now. Not as bad as your place, but still uncomfortably hot.
Its much cooler here today.
Its 87 F feels like 93F (30C), (33C)
Humidity is at 30%
Air quality is moderate
But its suppose to get up around 37C by the end of this week again.
It was almost 90 here today...and that was inside my house. Argggg.
I took my first cold shower in almost 10 years. I soaked an old Army hat in water and then stuck it in the freezer for a half-hour. I took it out and put it on, and it felt damn nice for about 10 minutes.
I'm thinking it's time to bite the bullet and shell out the cash for central air conditioning. It just gets too damn hot in my south-facing office to be able to do anything. It's like an oven, and the fan just blows the hot air around like jet exhaust. The best part of the day was the trip to Safeway- it was so nice and cool in there I could have wandered up and down the aisles for hours.
The beach is a block from my house, so I spent the weekend dipping in the ocean. Too hot to be anywhere but in the water.
Wish I could be next to the ocean. It's damn damn hot. I'm running to the malls. Damn crowded at Metrotown. Seems everyone's there.
I've got a river with some beach on it. Speaking of which doesn't sound like a bad idea next time I go down to farm.
(Alright here's a little geography lesson: everytime any river stage is low (which means its nowhere near from flooding) it leaves sediment aka sand. This creates sand bars or a beach. I remember as a kid camping on these bars. They go forever and are quite fun. Also they are good for fishing off of but don't eat the fish because the river is polluted and the fish have super high amounts of mercury)
There's also a real beach by a lake by my house. Could visit there also if I wanted to.
I thought you guys are in the midst of a storm or something like that, SD.
At times like this, I really miss the beaches of Sydney. Really lovely beaches there. Clean, (did I mention clean?) water and hot sand. Awesome.
The storms were on wednesday. Pracitically destroyed the city in 30 mins. 100 mph wind gusts will do that. People at work are still angry. They all live in north saint louis and north county and none of them have power and won't for another 4 days apparently. Plus they don't have water either. They called in the guard but no one has seen anybody in a uniform. The Missouri National Guard is made up mostly of southerners from the lower part of the state. I think there scared to go into some of the north saint louis neighbourhoods.
Oh wow...it's hot everywhere?? I thought it was just in Cali. It seriously has NEVER been this hot before in the area I live in...it was 105 yesterday when its usually 85-90 in the bay area...it felt like Vegas!! At least I know I'm not alone!!! This sucks, I hate the heat!!
welcome to the future.
despite the occasional moderate year or month or day......the trend is an increase in overall temp.
yes,folks,it is getting hotter and the winter is shorter,spring is more intense with rain and storms and summer warmer and warmer.
this is turn feeds into the climate cycle. polar regions melt,release more methane and in turn feeds the cycle.
less snow for snow packs = less water in the spring = droughts in the summer
destroyed crops
UV damage to crops
massive forest fores = more CO2 in the atmosphere
we need to cool our urban centres with a massive tree planting campaign.
the list is almost endless of the action needed.
