Hot hot hot

For you, DD:



And not a lick of humidity!

[diggitydot]

Sure. Rub it in.

It's so hot here I can't take it. I've turned into such a wimp! I need to get my act together and get used to already!

I have never gotten used to it and I've lived in this weather my entire life. I still sweat balls just walking from my house to my car in the summer. I don't even own liquid foundation anymore, there's not much point. But I do own a lot of deodorant, body spray and baby wipes .

It's over 100 degrees here too, and we live in the cold part of Canada. Stifling heat. Why did we buy a house without air-con??

About a week before our move to Tucson, reality began to set in for the heat we'd be facing and I started to panic. Our moving day was 108. Moving furniture in 108 degrees suck balls for sure, but truth be told it wasn't any suckier than loading the truck in 95 degrees back in ABQ. At some point the heat just becomes infinity plus one.

I still will argue there is a massive difference with dry heat. It really does make life more bearable. I will take ridiculous three digit temps in the desert anytime over anywhere where my hair instantly curls the second I walk out the door.

Honestly, I've barely noticed a difference in the heat here compared to back home where it's typically 10-20 degrees cooler. I'm sure having refrigerated air (had a swamp cooler back home) and a pool in the backyard helps though. . Our covered patio also has a mister system which makes eating outside delightful!

The bugs and wildlife here though are a whole other story I'll reserve for the rant/vent thread.

The car said 113 while driving in town today and 102 at 8 pm. We are not even in the "hot" part of summer! Yikes!!

STL is not usually this bad. I have been here 7+ years, and I don't EVER remember this kind of heat. It is aberrational.

Oddly enough last Sunday I had a customer tell me she knows she doesn't want to go to hell because it's going to be hotter than this and she can't even take this heat!

We're still wearing long sleeve jackets here and it's the middle of summer.

I saw that in your pics from the 4th. Not gonna lie...I was a little jealous!

[bokelley]

At 845am it was 93 heat index 102. It is like a suffocating out there today!

[TigerLily]

This sounds silly, but I'm grasping for some hope here. This insane heat doesn't mean that it's going to be excessively hot for the rest of the summer, right? right? please please please

[SuzySunshine]

It's supposed to go back to "normal" here next week which is low 90's, we'll see...

Awe, don't be jealous. When it's not raining here summers here are the best. I didn't realize that everyone was wearing jackets in the middle of summer until people on facebook starting pointing it out in the pictures. I thought I was just cold all the time. I haven't quite acclimated yet to the cold moisture that gets under your skin and goes straight to your bones. June's and July's can get a bit chilly sometimes. August and September are fine. Then November through May it rains constantly. It's if you love the rain and the smell of the ocean breeze and imagining the rain as "Oregon Sunshine" that it works for people. They call this Track Town, USA with lots of nature trails and paths but I wonder how people can run in that rain all the time. They've got to be using a full body rain suit to do it for any length of time outside.
