Can we please turn the sun off!

Oh WAH.
Come live with me in the desert of West Texas. Welcome to Hell.
We've been at 105+ since May. Good times!

yea.. but that is pretty much a dry heat....(did I just say that? ) ..not to be confused with dry hump.

BCB was cozy, cool, and out of character as it was a bit overcast. Need a blanket tonite when I go to bed.

We had up to 38 celsius here for 4 weeks. We are not used to that - dammit. We don´t have a/c´s in our houses, only in cars. I went mad slowly. My job requires business suites. I felt agony.

[RacerX]

Yup, 79 degrees & cloudy here today

The Great Northwest is were to go. That is west of the Cascade Mts. I have been up here in Washington State for almost 3 years . Yea, it rains a lot and we do get snow sometimes. But, all in all, I couldn't be happier. It's 78 degrees as I type. The one thing I did learn, being from the California where the sun shines all the time, is don't leave anything outside because it could rain any minute.

How's the winters?
We sometimes go without snow almost until February here, pretty mild winters.. aah, I like it that way BUT, the weather can be pretty shitty

I was wondering... how well insulated are the American houses in the really hot areas, like West Texas? Thick insulation in the walls, like 200mm? 300mm over the ceiling?

Yes, that question is very related to this topic

Can we please turn the sun off!

> Whenever it gets bad here in Tennessee like it has been for what seems like a month now,I remember what my friend Rod told me about the 2 summers he spent in Iraq when he was in the Marine Reserves. He said you actually felt comfortable there when it was 125 in the shade,cause out in the sun it was 135,and he was a half hour from the place he said recorded the highest temperature in human history at 148. He added the humidity level was about like most spots in Florida. Imagine 135 degrees with 90% humidity,then add another 10 degrees because you're humping an M249 SAW with 3 100 round belts,a Kevlar helmet,a raid vest with a 10 pound ceramic plate in the front and back,and about 25 pounds worth of other shit. All that makes 100 degrees with 90% seem pleasant. Tommy D.

It's been around 34 up here in the Great White North for close to a week. That's before the humidex. The humidex adjustment puts it at 48 degrees Celcius. I don't know what that is in Farenheit, but it's fucking hot.

It's too f-n hot. Another 100+ day and $$$ going to PSE&G for cool air ONLY within 3 feet of the ac.

Today's a little cooler in central Jersey. I think it'll drop down to 92 today.

118 degrees.. we were planning on heading up to Montreal last week while it was still in this heat-never made it.

Southeast Texas.The armpit of the Gulf Coast.With the heat index,it's 110 degrees.90 percent humidity.95 in the shade........Right, Emmy,good times!

Yea, it's like this 5 month's out of the year

[charvelguy]

You have 90% humidity? the heat index in MN last weak was in the 110+ range with humidity that high. I was cooking on the grill and it was very uncomfortable at 11:00pm at night. I guess I got a taste of Texas last week in more than just beef..no thanks... not w/o AC.

[atomic charvel guy]

Turn off my sun and there's gonna be some trouble I tell ya.

Mediterranean sun burns very well, all the skin came off from my arms when I was there.
