Expect a high today of death

[Pengwuino]

So how ungodly hot is it where you live right now?

MSN says to expect a high of 109 today. Currently it is 111. It wasn't until midnight last night that it went under 100 degrees. People's pools are probably evaporating as we speak. I know everytime i look outside my eyes start smoking. :yuck: :yuck: :yuck: :yuck:

[heartless]

It's ungodly pleasant, just 78 degrees in NY. I don't think it's only matter of temperature. Also air moisture's got some role. It's hard to breathe with 100 degrees on head in nyc, however I used to experience much higher temperatures in Florida, and I managed to live without an air con. It was just normal. LA is similar to nyc, for being near the ocean, though LA is closer to a tropic.

I suggest you revise your signature, and add Cyrus to get out, it seems to me like he's gonna be here in matter of seconds.

[Rach3]

73F (23C) here and falling, should reach an equilibirium with the A/C at around 68F/20C. Much colder at night.

[Math Is Hard]

It's about 86F here. Feels more like 96F in my apartment. Do you think blowing a fan over a block of ice does any good?

It's not hot, its just you. :biggrin:

[Integral]

I am showing a 100F on my outdoor Thermometer. It is in the shade on the North side of my house, so should be a pretty good indicator of air temp. Yep... It's hot out!

[jcsd]

It's been getting close to 100F here in the UK, luckily it's cooled of over the last day or two because we're just not used tht sort of temp, air con is soemthing that very few private houses have.

[Math Is Hard]

It's not hot, its just you. :biggrin:
hee hee. thanks.

It's freakin' miserable here. On top of that I'm forced to read one of the most tedious cognitive psychology papers ever written so I can finish a paper. I think I'd rather be doing linear algebra. :tongue2:

[Moonbear]

After a week of scorching heat, we got a nice, big thunderstorm yesterday, and the temperature finally plummeted back to where it should be. But, now I've grown accustomed to the heat, and started to freeze while sitting outside in 70 degree weather! :cry: I can't win. :frown:

It's suppose to storm around here next week. Expected high, 101. Yah God's revenge has begun. A lot of the lakes are overflowing as well so that's not a real life saver :grumpy: :grumpy: :grumpy:

Well you know it makes children cranky when it gets so hot.

[NoTime]

Finaly got the air conditioner in the window the other day.
Temp dropped like a stone. :bugeye:

Edit: Its now about 70 outside.

[Moonbear]

Well you know it makes children cranky when it gets so hot.
Yeah, I guess you're right about that. I think a good soaking with cold water should help. *grabs the fire hose* :devil:

Shoo shoo, out of my thread yomamma

[Ivan Seeking]

It reached at least 102 here today, and in the last two days, two places in Oregon reached 108. I know that one was an all time high. Also, it was over eighty degrees out at midnight the other night. We've never seen that in Oregon before.

I'm going on vacation to vancouver in a couple of weeks. Their highs right now are raound 80 degrees and my friend was complaining about the heat :grumpy: :grumpy: :grumpy:

It's very hard to follow this thread if you keep using medieval units. Come on people, how hard van it be to post in internationally accepted units? That way even non-Americans can follow you :wink: I'll accept Kelvin as a compromise (it is a science board after all)

As for here, it reached 37°C in Belgium this week! We're supposed to be a sea-side, temperate Western European country!

Well, at least that temperature I can convert readily. 37 C = 98.6 F (body temperature). But, here, I'll give you a table to help. :wink: Anything below 0 C or 32 F is too damn cold to matter, and anything above 40 C and 104 F is too damn hot to matter, so I limited it to that range.

The weather people keep lying to us. It was supposed to hit a high of 95 yesterday [for Dimitri, that's in Kelvin]. By 10AM it was 90, and by late afternoon it hit a high of at least 102 [for Dimitri, that's in eV]. Today it is supposed to hit a high of 90. It was 90 at 10AM.

[Lisa!]

I've got a flu! So I'm hot anyway no matter how hot here it is!:rolleyes:

Are you jealous that yours don't?:tongue2:

I DON'T HAVE ONE!!!!!!!Ok ok we know you need 1 but it's your parents who should hire 1 for you not PF'ers!:smile:

[Dimitri Terryn]

...for Dimitri, that's in eV...

Cool! I was wondering if asking you to use natural (or God-given :biggrin: ) units was going to be too much of a strech, but I'd be much more at ease if you would you use eV's! :wink:

Damn Ivan, it's pretty cold out there!

@Moonbear : thanks, I can actually work with the Fahrenheit scale, but I felt like being a stuck up European for once.

[Ivan Seeking]

Anything for you bud! :biggrin:

[BobG]

It's been around 305 degrees (K) here in Colorado Springs. I'm not even sure it's correct to say it's a dry heat. We've been getting thunderstorms most afternoons or evenings and the air's thin enough the temp always drops below 290 degrees (K) in the night time. I've never seen the prairies this green this late in the summer before (in fact, I almost forgot green was a color) and we're having to mow the yard nearly once a week.

Should you really convert a number rounded off to two digits to a three digit number? Human body temperature is about 36.8 C if taken to three digits, which is about 98.2 F.

I dunno. In Alameda, CA it hit 105 bushels yesterday.

In Fresno, it hit 572.67 Rankine

I think plasma temps are sometimes measured in eV. But really the point was to give dimitri a bad time. :biggrin:

25.41 \, \mbox{meV}/k_B here. Much warmer outside, but still too cold for plasma ignition.

True enough. Don't feel bashfull about just using MeV, when you're a theoretical physicist you can set any constant of nature equal to 1 until proven guilty :biggrin:

Urgh... force of habit, sorry.

It's currently about 1 outside... in units of the temperature in Milpitas, CA. The forecast for the next 2,000 millenia is a high of 1, and a low of 1.

MSN says to expect a high of 109 today. Currently it is 111. It wasn't until midnight last night that it went under 100 degrees. People's pools are probably evaporating as we speak. I know everytime i look outside my eyes start smoking. :yuck: :yuck: :yuck: :yuck:

My sister drove out to Vegas to see her friend get married last weekend. Going through Baker, they have the world's tallest thermometer, and she and her boyfriend told me it read 128F as they were driving through. When she got out of the car, she told me it felt as if her skin instantly caught fire.

[Chi Meson]

I visited a friend in Vegas two summers ago. One day it was 108 F (sorry Dmitri). We had to get into a car that had been closed up. Must have been 150 when we got in.

"But it's a dry heat" F*** That!

What i want to konw is why does it feel like theres "walls of unmerciful heat" in certain places? Our A/C is out and when you walk upstairs, its like you walked right into a wall made out of hot hot air. You can literally feel like a partition of at least 5 degrees and you know the instant you walk into it.

I remmeber back in high school it was insanely hot and we were in a niiiiiiiiiiiiice air conditioned chemistry class. We were in finals so we were there for like 2 1/2 hours. We opened the door and walked outside and like a punch in the face i was knocked backwards feeling like i was hit by an inferno.

that would be 93.2 in moonbears archaic language

every summer i always think that there's no way it could have been as hot the year before except this year i think i may have actually been right. i think the hottest day last summer was more like 30-32.

When I lived in a 3rd floor apartment without A/C (remember, heat rises), and it got to those hot, humid, disgusting days of summer when there was no breeze at all, I kept the bathtub filled with cold water...instant wading pool whenever I got too hot. :biggrin:

[Schrodinger's Dog]

I think I've got used to it now, I feel alot more comfortable with the 30 degree C temperatures 86F I'm working in, no A/C but it could be worse I could be working in the Middle East :eek: Hotter and more dangerous.

My problem is that my windows are not the standard kind that air condioners go in. They slide side-to-side to open. I am also a renter, so I can't really build on something to modify the window.

We've broken a couple records this summer. I'm in Fairbanks, Alaska, where the temperature gets real extreme. The weather is dry and we have a mountain range that (i assume) tends to hold in the warm weather. In the winter, it gets as low as -40, especially because of the inversion layer.
