Same here. The phone at the customer service desk has been ringing off the hook with plebs asking if we have fans, ac, pools and/or ice. "Nope, we're competely sold out."
Currently 90° F (that's 32° for you civilized folk) in my room right now, according to my window fan. And that's cooler than the rest of the house.
OK, so does this mean there is a possibility of snow in floriduh? Someone should take a ball of molten pavement from seattle and bring it to congress to throw at republican heads.
While y'all have been melting, it's been oddly cool here. We should be well into the "the air is soup" season, but it's been quite nice. It's been like an odd second spring with scattered afternoon rain.
I know. It's God's Way. We got new Trane™ hvac installed and it's loafing. I want to stress test that sucker and so far nuttin.
Today is supposed to be the worst of it, isn't it? I'm sorry this is happening. I haven't had to endure a 105+ day without AC since I was a kid and my poor family either couldn't afford to rent a house with AC or we couldn't afford the light bill from running it.
While in a Port Angeles Safeway on Saturday I told the cashier that "Where I come from this is just a warm spring day...and that's why I'm now from somewhere else!" My hotel room didn't have A/C, but I really didn't have any problems. For some reason it didn't get quite as hot there as elsewhere. On the way back to Boise the highest temperature I saw on my car thermometer was 116 (that's 46.6 C for our Canadian friends and Ten Lubak).
Want to point out that in 2012 it reached 109 in Nashville and that for the whole week it was triple digit temps. (Along with high humidity.). I remember it well as I was having to drive 30+ minutes in a car with no AC to and from work.
Yeah, I grew up near Sacramento a d didn't have a car for most of my childhood. I've walked from school in 100+ temps in September and that never wiped me out the way one trip to Tokyo did at 75 degrees and 90 percent humidity. (Protip: if at all possible, avoid visiting Japan in the summer) That said, I'm either getting old or gone soft from living in San Diego all these years because I visited my cousin in Fresno two years ago and the 90+ degree temperatures at 10:30 in the morning were just . Two days of that shit and I was ready to nope outta that. Especially when the heat peaks at 4 fucking 30 in the afternoon NEVER AGAIN
Summer in Orlando. Holy fucking shit. The air feels like it's time-frozen, and you have to walk through it to get it to go in. Never peed the whole week I was there. But I never sweat it out in droplets either, it was just a constant gross evaporation cycle. Ugh.
I spent several weeks in Glynco, GA. Orlando is a dream compared to Glynco. It was like walking through hot soup every morning just to go from one building to another. I have no idea how anyone can live like that.
Okinowa is a bit further south than mainland Japan, so perhaps the weather was as different as GA vs Chicago in terms of humidity. And, maybe because I went there from GA (or was it WV), anyway, I found the weather in Okinowa in June to be close to perfect.
No idea what the temp is right now in Joisey - close to 100 if not at 100 - but kudos and gratitude to the two guys who installed my new basement windows on what feels like the hottest day of the year. They probably sweated 10 pounds away.
I didn't even really realize that either. I experienced 111 degrees yesterday. 43.8889 Celsius I was working outside on the water it was not cool And yes I did swim on my lunch break, but the 4 hours in the afternoon were miserable.
