How Scorching Are Temperatures in Your City?

[Kalimaa23]

Urgh... force of habit, sorry.

 

[chroot]

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.

It hit about 37 here the other day and it was awful, I hate it. Give me a nice 22 degree day and I'm happy.

You wish i felt sorry for you.

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.

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.

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 there's "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.

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.

...98.6 F = 37.0 C. Happy now?

It hit about 34 here the other day and it was awful, I hate it. Give me a nice 2-5 degree day and I'm happy.

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.

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

I think I've got used to it now, I feel a lot 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 Hotter and more dangerous.

I might try that "rice sock" idea.
I also ordered something called a "chillow".

Hope it works! I am barely sleeping lately because the heat is so bad.

hmmmm...

This University of Waterloo engineering student hacked together a primitive air conditioner from a large fan, garbage can, some copper and vinyl tubing, and a few zipties and hose clamps.

MIH, I have a window airconditioner in my garage. I am not using it so I will email it to you ASAP!

Thanks, but that's would make for a mighty big attachment!

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.
I have been searching for a portable AC with a window kit but there's none left in Los Angeles.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gripped by a 10th straight day of 100-degree heat, California sweated out the possibility of more blackouts Tuesday as the number of suspected heat-related deaths climbed to at least 38 and the rotting carcasses of thousands of dairy cows and other livestock baked in the sun.

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.

All our air con units are breaking down, we have extra hire units in every room in the factory, trouble is the compressors are overheating, and for some reason pipes are splitting, this place must be enveloped in r22 gas.

 

[Pengwuino]

Yah with the number of a/c units failing aorund this city i don't know why they want us to conserve power

Sending some cool weather
