Real feel temperature: 104

[Kathy in Cambridge]

I just stepped out for lunch and it was DISGUSTING. 91 degrees, dewpoint 77. We'll hit our high temp around 4 PM. Can't wait! :eyes:

I promised I wouldn't complain about the heat, after the shitty winter we had. But why can't we have a hot and DRY day? At least the hair would have a chance to look decent when I go on job interviews.

1. It is NASTY out there, you can see the haze in under 30 feet!

My cat was flat out on the wood floor when I got in earlier, now he's stretched out in front of the A/C.

I'm leaving it on.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

11. You can smell it too

pollution

[DS1]

2. Oh, and I'll be making a huge batch of chili tonight

My timing couldn't be more perfect :eyes:

5. Spicy food is good in the heat, but

you may want to eat it cold. x(

3. my mom, sister & brother live in Las vegas...called and said it was 116

[Kathy in Cambridge]

7. but it's a DRY heat, right? 116 is inhuman no matter which way ya cut it

I really don't know how people live out there.

4. Ich. It's awful.

And I don't have air conditioning in my apartment. Last night I was sticking to my sheets, and not in a good way.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

6. You cannot survive in a Boston apartment without AC

I learned that the hard way. Small spaces, tons of apartment buildings blocking any breeze, and sun beating on the brownstones make for miserable sleeping, let alone breathing. x(

[DS1]

12. You can buy an AC for just under a hundred bucks

I'd pitch in 5, maybe 10 for a DUer stuck in this heat without AC

[Kathy in Cambridge]

13. That's if there's any left at the hardware store

you know what happens during a heat wave...

[DS1]

15. Stop & Shop in Framingham has stacks of them

:-)

[Trigger Hippie]

18. Yeah, I dunno what I'm gonna do tonight.

:(

[Rising Phoenix]

8. No shit!

I just worked out, could only manage 1/2 hour of cardio and weights, too damn hot.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

9. It's the humidity

It's actually dangerous to work out when it's this humid. I usually replenish electrolytes with a sports drink to avoid feeling weak and nauseous.

[Rising Phoenix]

10. I have AC, so it wasn't intolerable

don't have any gatoratde, should stock up...

[DS1]

14. It's only 62 in Seattle

In JULY!

And the rent CAN'T BE any worse than it is around here.

That's it. Set me up a tent underneath the Space Needle, I'm comin in hot!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

16. Seattle is cloudy 270 days a year

I'd rather sweat it out in July in Boston. At least we have more sun.

Can you convince her to move here? :-)

[DS1]

17. I'd rather move there anyway

No snow, and you'll recall that I'm British so in a sense - these 'clouds' objects you speak of are 'the sun' to me.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

19. LOL

and constant drizzle doesn't bother you either, I suppose. :-)

[DS1]

22. LOVE IT!

ahhhh
constant overcast skies and drizzle

reminds me of the

[CrownPrinceBandar]

20. I'd love for it to be cloudy only 270 days of the year.............

around here. Where I'm from in WV averages less than 60 sunny days a year, so Seattle would be a step up for me.

And yeah, its miserably hot here too.

[MissB]

21. Ah, humidity

I hate humidity.

It was 94 yesterday - supposed to drop to 86 today. Not much humidity though, so I don't mind being outside.

Good luck on the interviews.

[DS1]

23. I SUSPECT bicentennial_baby will be reporting some kickass

thunderstorms in about an hour. If they don't completely knock her off the grid.

24. I love thunderstorms, but they usually die out by the time they get

to the city.

I'm supposed to go to my aunt's for dinner in the Northwest 'burbs, and they get quite a few storms out her way. She's in a valley.
