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.

..........yomamma, you know what to do.
 
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 going to be here in matter of seconds.
 
73F (23C) here and falling, should reach an equilibirium with the A/C at around 68F/20C. Much colder at night.
 
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:
 
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!
 
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.

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. :-p

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

Yeah, I guess you're right about that. I think a good soaking with cold water should help. *grabs the fire hose* :devil:

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.

Ignores yomamma and Pengwuino

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.

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

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.
