I've been turning it on around 11am and off at 10pm then opening windows upstairs but it's still 82 degrees so windows are closed and AC is on.Quote:

102 today. Outlook keeps changing but basically we are in triple digits for the next 10 days and beyond.
102 in Ashland today. Smoky afternoon in the red. Back in the green now, but forecast 105 tomorrow. Local fires (NorCal & S. OR) loving this weather. Red flag yesterday. 87 currently at 11PM. Down to 99 on Wednesday. Yikes.
A few fires popping up in NorCal. Thankfully none have blown up but we still have another 4 days of 100+ and some high 90s after that. This heat sucks but I worry most about how it is setting up fire season.

Knock on wood
Hit 75ºF here yesterday, a real scorcher! ;)
Its gonna be mid to high 80s in the Icebox of the Nation by the end of the week! Eskimos will be running for the shade. But yeah, these last couple of weeks of low 70s have been great. Its been pretty consistently below freezing at night at my house. A couple day going to work early I had to run the defroster.Quote:

95F here yesterday between Redmond and Carnation.
Forecast to be 93F here today, then ramp down to 85F tomorrow and low to mid 80s later in the week.
Could only get the house down to 69F this morning though after opening windows at 11:00 last night, so AC is going on shortly. The house has a thermal momentum I manage.
Temp has been climbing for the last four hours and I keep bumping up the AC to keep it within 25 degrees. Managed to keep it off until noon with the house staying at around 78 degrees (all blinds closed).
106 currently (but it's a DRY heat).
Nothing big yet by recent relative standards. There were evacuations in ororville for one recent fire.Quote:

Found a shady spot to park the van while working. Then straight out of town to the ski area in the shade till 730/8 pm. Could be worse. Bozeman w all the blacktop is 10 plus deg warmer at all times than the surrounding hills.
Serious question, and maybe better in the Shit that Annoys you thread: It’s been REALLY fucking hot in the Q, and the older I get, the less tolerance I have for doing anything outside after noon or before like 8 at night…. Anyone else?
>>raises hand <<
I'm consistent about bike riding, because if I don't, my knee goes wonky and painful.
With these temps, I'm done by 12:00 and basically hide in the house with the heat pump maxxed at 20F below the outside temp. I do make a couple mid day forays to water the pots, but other than that, I'm lurking in the shade.
I’ve found my cold tolerance has dropped more than my heat tolerance over the years
Either extreme bugs me but I'm more likely to try to get out when it's hot than when it's cold. If it's snowing all bets are off though, I want to get out and do stuff.
I can still tolerate cold better than heat, especially over the long term. The hot stuff makes me ornery and get anxious about climate change which is probably half of it.
It's been said before but worth saying again: With cold you can layer, with heat there is a limit as to how much you can take off to cool down.Quote:

Yeah, a person can only get so naked.Quote:

I feel like having a regular sauna routine has helped my heat resilience.
