Chilly to Hot In Your Neck Of The Woods Already?

I noticed the shift from chilly to hot today. It was still chilly and was still using the heater at night till today! It’s 23C (73 F) here today. Starting to sweat now. :smiley:

Looks like a bad year coming for fires in the Pacific Northwest.

I live in the Southern California desert, so not surprisingly, but it's pretty warm.

This spring, we've already had some days over 90 degrees Fahrenheit, though with low dewpoints.

It was 94*F today in Miami with no clouds. Muggy too.

Temperatures don’t change much here month to month. That average is about 88F/31C with average 80% humidity. Sounds miserable I know but you adapt. Before the pandemic you’d often see European tourists determined to go home with a tan lying in direct sun with the sweat dripping off.

I spent a lot of time in Yucca Valley when I was young. In a a higher and slightly cooler part of the Mojave then Palm desert. Loved it there

I think I could adjust to that Philippine climate. In my waning years, it sounds pretty darned good. :smiley:

Woah…94°F! That is definitely muggy. Must be still sweating even if one’s sitting down doing nothing. :smiley: Ah well, sunshine’s always a good thing anyways. Lifts the spirit up.

I was outside most of the morning and it was tiresome and I’m out on the balcony smoking a cigar at 11x and it’s still miserable!

I can handle the heat if it's below about 100° to 105°, and the dewpoint is low.

But if the dewpoint is high, I can't deal with even 90° F.

So I guess you know about Red Horse beer? Extra strong too!

I live in San Francisco and it rarely gets hot here. The hottest months are usually in Sept and Oct where it might get into the 80’s a few days. This week its been in the 50’s in the part of SF that I live in and right now (9:30PM) it’s 48F according to my phone.

I love the weather here; I can wear/carry a jacket every day of the year and not feel foolish :sunglasses:

Oh yeah, that’s what we do during the power outages when the fans and AC stop. Sit and sweat in the dark and wait for the power to come back on. It’s been better lately, only short outages a few times a week. Can’t complain, that’s life in a third world country.

And maybe go for motorcycle ride too! :+1:

Hey I know San Francisco real well...sort of. Actually I've been watching this guy. He makes videos of his scooter rides around the San Francisco area. You already probably know the places in the videos too. Lots of hills that's for sure!

Yoda!! at around 49:40

I skimmed through the 1st video and parts of it were within a few blocks of where my brother-in-law lives and other parts near where I used to work (Embarcadero waterfront). There are hundreds of scooter here and anyone can rent them with just a credit card. Personally I don’t like them because the companies just leave them lying around on the streets and they can really clutter up the sidewalks. But I can certainly see the attraction for those who rent them.

Worst hangover I’ve ever had. I now stick to San Miguel.

Lol ok :+1:

Yeah just leaving them on streets will turn a lot of people off. San Francisco’s got a lot of space it seems though. I watched the videos because it seems to show the layout of the city quite well. Will have to visit one day. :slight_smile:

Two weeks ago it hit 93. Right now (2;20pm) it’s 42.
Wish it would make up it’s mind.
I’m got a new AC system installed last week. Temps in the 60s. Glad it was cooler for the installer guys.
During the summer here, Attic temps in the 140 plus range are typical.
The installers from the better crews wear heat monitors.
Even then some times one of them will pass out in the attic.
All the Best,
Jeff

Talking about those Revel scooters and such? Yeah, I hate those things, plus the idiots who leave them almost as if to screw people over. Like plant one right in the middle of a legit (but scarce) parking spot, or worse, wedge them between 2 parked cars so now one or the other can’t get out without knocking over the damned thing.

Haven’t had that be a problem on my block thankfully, but I know blocks where someone keeps “renting” one and leaving them as described above, that people who were blocked out/in called the number to ask someone to move the things. They’re one step away from dumping used motor oil (or worse) all over ’em to express their displeasure.

Take something that can be a good idea, implement it badly, and instead of being useful, it’s a blight.
