How Hot where You Are?

As usual, warm.

104º F, real feel 110º F, (40º C, feels like 43º C),
Mostly cloudy, cloud cover 88%,
Humidity 32%, dew point 70º F
Wind: WNW at 4mph

No weather to play with a new Sofirn SP70!

Yes, the cost of living here is quite a lot higher for sure.

When his swamp gets a bit too hot, it cools it down?

Tips and tricks to make living in the heat/sun better:

1. Wear white clothes.
2. Wear a cap.
3. Bring your own water bottle.
4. Drink lots of water.
5. Wear sunscreen.
6. Get yourself a portable fan.

To make inside living better:

  1. Replace ALL INCANDESCENTS LIGHTS WITH LED LIGHTS.
  2. Shut off electronic appliances when not needed.
  3. Get yourself blackout blinds for places you don’t usually go to.
  4. Try to eat cold foods rather than hot foods.
  5. Lower your power consumption as much as possible.
  6. The BLF alternative: Get yourself a solar panel array to make the AC work during the day, and let it rest during the night.

Man, it’s hot.

It’s like Africa hot.

Tarzan couldn’t take this kind of hot.

And no, it’s not a dry heat. It’s like breathing-through-a-hot-wet-towel heat.

Highs here have been running in the mid 90’s, Lows in the mid 70’s. Humidity ranging from around 80% up to 99%.

But…. Highs for the next few days are gonna be in the low 80’s & Lows in low 70’s & high 60’s. … That suits me just fine!! :wink:

One trick I like to use when it does get hot, is to put a wet bandana around the back of my neck and draped over the top of my chest. Evaporation cooling is pretty helpful. If its super humid where you are, maybe this doesn’t work?

It’s 19*C here.
It’s gonna be 24*C tomorrow .

I’d move to Santa Cruz in a heartbeat… Central Valley is hot, but not as hot as SoCal desert.
Our Temps for the last month (green is temp, blue is humidity):

So hot here I saw a dog chasing a cat….and they were both walking

98F here in the city and the cement and buildings just absorb and radiate that heat. :(.

And people wonder plant life is so important.

Plants can get rid of a lot of heat, which is very nice.

I’m leaving for vacation next week to Hawaii where it’s going to be 80s/90s all the time. Going to be quite a change from the 60s weather here :frowning:

So hot here my chickens (if I had any) laid hard-boiled eggs.

Nice, what island are you going to?

Going to Oahu and Maui for 5 days each with the entire family (wife, 3 daughters, son-in-law, and grand-daughter). Should be a fun trip for sure :slight_smile:

I went to Oahu for about a week.

It was the best vacation I ever had!

Sounds like a great trip for sure. Last time I was on Oahu (20 yrs ago) I think we had 20 of us staying in a house on the north shore. Definitely good times. :smiley: Thanks to my well to do father in law, who got sick at the last minute and couldn’t make the trip. :person_facepalming:

We haven’t been to Hawaii in probably 10 years but it sure is a great place to visit for a stress-free and relaxing vacation. Will definitely have a good time wandering around and eating everything we can :slight_smile:

Best vacation I ever had was to Uganda since it was way way different from places we usually travel to. Got to see non-caged wildlife and other things I’ll never see again.

Pleasantly cool 27° here, with a nice crisp breeze. Forecast says it can get up to 30, which is nice. Humidity is so horribly low, though, the cuticles of my fingers are actually detaching from my fingernails. No one can have a good night of sleep without either a humidifier on or at least a wet towel hung in the bedroom.

Unfortunately it won’t be a month until we’re living between 25 degrees at night and 37 in the early afternoon, with the air moisture going as low as 15%. It’s like that every god damn year.

Can’t wait for the rains to come back.
