Post by: KICKSTART on June 02, 2009, 11:13:44 AM
I think our summer has finally arrived ..phew its hot for here !  :ukflag; Like most im not used to this heat ! How are other Brits coping ?  I cant sleep at night despite a fan , im off my food and the heat has just floored me to the point of feeling exhausted (not being at my best to start with right now) Ive just been up stairs and nearly had to get there on my knees ! I can cope with the fluid side of things , its just the heat is knocking me out ! :boxing;

Weatherbug says 75 F in London (24 c.).  Where are you?  It's 90 (33 c) at the moment in Houston...  Stay put.

Apparently it's going to be 10 degrees colder tomorrow so we'll be moaning it's cold- typical British summer then!! 
I'm coping OK but it has knocked Dad for six,he's like a limp rag today.
This is what we all need  :beer1;

It's a lovely day here - 77 F and soft breeze. Nice change as we've had 10 days of "June Gloom" (or "May Gray" since it started in May) which is overcast and cool - I am happy to see the sun!

All of you people suffering from the heat should come visit Michigan! We can't get over 65 durring the day and tonight a low of 46. It feels like October around here.

Well, We live in New Mexico, (hey!, What are all these Americans doin' running around here?) In Albuquerque. It get's hot here during the deep summer. (It must not be deep summer yet because it's 10 am and the temp. is 65 degrees) In the afternoon 3pm - 6pm it can get up to 105 - 106, even more. BUT! at night it cools down quite substantially and the humidity is very low and a fan can cool you down. WE moved from Houston where the humidity was 90 percent all the time. A fan wouldn't do anything. So far this year, I haven't been uncomfortable yet.

It is usually the opposite here 49 weeks of winter and 3 weeks of summer!!!  What else can you expect when you live on an island in the north atlantic!!!  It was over 20 celcuis here today but back down to about 5 tonight with a risk of frost.

I'm from Houston. The temp and Humidity is why we left. I'm 60 and in the early 50s there wasn't A/C at our house. But we got A/C in about '55. I don't know how we survived it. Before we left in 2002 our electricity bill during the summer was $245+.  The temp here now is 86 deg. It's 7:15 pm. But the humidity is 15%. Earlier we had the cooler on, but it got too cold, had to turn it off. The people here think it's hot but compared to Houston, It aint.

Well thankfully its finally starting to cool down here in hawaii tonight..

but its been in the high 80's into the low 90's - its been unbearable! the worst thing is that we had a freakishly cold winter/wet season it was like we were on the mainland or something! Now our summer is SO hot! this heat needs to go back where it belongs CA  :P

Although since we have a family member who is a firefighter and fights the wild fires that hit CA in the summers, i guess it might help out that CA isn't as ridiculously hot as normal! :)

It will be about 87 here today in Florida, but will feel like 100!!!, my husband was coping with the heat better when he was anemic, now we keep the central air on, and the blinds closed to keep out the sun.

Post by: dwcrawford on June 28, 2009, 10:39:11 AM
I never expected such heat this early in the year.  I wish I had planted tomatoes.  Usually I do but this time I had an unexpect routine addition to my schedule (the evil chair).

Last week my line tree withered away and this morning I see my little Laurel tree has dried up.  (Wonder if I can pic the leaves off and use them like that  ?  After all you buy dried bay leaves in the store.

That's sad about your plants, Dan. I'm having to water more frequently with this unusual heat.

Now it's the water bill to worry about, huh?

92 F outside right now - high of 97. The AC's not working so well, and can't keep it below 80 in here. Thank goodness for residual kidney function and cold drinks.

Still better than the 101 it was when I was in Vegas yesterday.
Title: Re: Hot hot hot
Post by: Jean on June 29, 2009, 12:11:27 AM
It's a tad warm here in Southern Ca. We have to keep the blinds closed to keep the heat out and the AC runs a whole lot. Feel like I am confined to a cave. There goes my summer afternoons with a good book, sitting on the porch. The pool looks gorgeous, but it is completely in the sun, and I need to stay out of the sun. Sigh.

We have had some very hot days recently.  It is all due to the Sahara dust problem.    The global situation is really changing.  When I was under 20, there was never anything about Sahara dust reaching over the Atlantic to the Caribbean.   Now it comes - cars get dirty, the horizon is hazy, asthmatics have a hard time, and the heat is raised.  My brother used to say that it has particles of camel sh*t in it!
They predict that it will go away soon and the days will be a bit cooler.  The hills and the sky don't have that haze today.

No A/C in the Uk, except in some shops and offices. Usually there's no need for it as it's so blimmin' cold!

I feel for you Kickstart, the weather is draining me of all energy too, and I've got absolutely no appetite for anything except ice lollies!
