    We're about to start what is typically the hottest time of the year for us. Only 87 today which is fine but by Friday we hit 104 and it isn't looking like it will cool down for a while. So nice that harvesters have enclosed cabs with A/C nowadays.

    sunny, no clouds, 70s no humidity.

    Please rinse and repeat.

    What's going to drive me crazy is all the consecutive cloudless days. Im not asking for rain but just some clouds that bumble along.

    103 here but it's a dry heat......

    We are literally burning up here in the basin with multiple wheat fires popping up several times a day for the last couple days. I've not seen it this bad before. Kinda crazy.

    I had a hard time keeping my apartment under 70 degrees, especially with my kids leaving the damn porch door open, or my daughter turning the ac unit off.

    Seems like summer finally truly hit, granted July is supposed to be the warmest month around Seattle, but Im not looking forward to cloudless 80 degree days.

    Why the fuck are you trying to cool your place to 70!? That's just crazy. 75 feels like the damn arctic when it's 90+

    Edit: wait, you're worried about 80?

    In the winter we keep our apartment between 58 and 62 degrees. Summer we keep it literally as low as we can. Days in the 80s I can keep it at 68 for the hottest time of day.

    If the temp is over 70 degrees while inactive I start sweating. Some of it is medicine related, but ive always been this way. I also spent most of my life in NC or TX, so i do know what heat and humidity is, I just was done with it. Im not a huge cold fan either. I like temperate, hence moving to WA. 25-60 degrees being my ideal range.

    I live in Coronado and run the AC from 10am to 10pm. Life is to short to be uncomfortable.
    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

    Here in the US, air conditioning has influenced where people settle. Over the past 80 years, hordes of Americans migrated south and west to cities like Miami and Phoenix, where AC made broiling conditions bearable; in turn, the growth of these Sun Belt communities ratcheted up the demand for cooling. These days, almost 90 percent of American households have air conditioning. We spend $11 billion on cooling each year and release roughly 100 million tons of carbon dioxide in the process—the same as 19 million cars.
    I’m not militant about this shit at all, but i think most of us agree it’s a little fucked up how we’ve created huge cities in super hot areas, often with insufficient local water supplies.

    I lived for years in Bankers Hill area of San Diego. Apt had no built in heat and no A/C. Never saw the need for A/C that close to the ocean. You must live in the only hot zone on Coronado

    Even if you have AC and feel nice inside it still can be hot as balls outside. Do people not like going outside?

    i was responding to the cities popping up in the south because of a/c

    Ive been enjoying this summer and really haven't complained about it. Ive even been annoyed theres been days Im trying to get the kids swimming but its been to damn cold for that.

    I dolike to bitch about the heat though because it makes me feel like a slug slowly dying out on hot pavement. I spent to many years with battling this to not still bitch once in a while

    Lived in Phoenix my whole life, and these couple weeks a year planted my mental need to go somewhere really cold and snowy. Hate you, Phoenix

    134* heat index, fuck me. Worst for me was Bakersfield, 107* 27%=113* heat index, the worst part was putting thick Kevlar pants and sleeves on for a boat race, then the helmet, unbearable.
