It's Been Bloody Roasting Today!

31 degrees here! I'm can't handle hot weather! My face is bright pink - not as result of my liberal alcohol consumption - but the result of some cheap sun cream I bought. I look like Ric Flair! Very embarrassing.

Hit 41c on my balcony today.


It's muggy as well, which makes it worse.

Oh no! Where is the blood coming from? Slob, are you bleeding or something?

He's got blood back in his alcohol system. Watering it down stops him bursting into flames.

Just had a cold shower. 20 cans of Magners in the fridge, ice in freezer. Bob's your uncle.

My Uncle's name is Terry.

He has blood coming out of her wherever.

Anyway, yes -- it's HOT.

I actually wanted to make a thread about the heat myself, but didn't think it really warranted a thread (what's wrong with me?)

I wanted to make a thread where people told us when they were hot.

This can be that thread, I guess.......

Well, I will tell you when I will be hot.....

Coming this Thursday through Sunday, the predicted temperatures here will be 94, 93, 90 and 89 (for me, once it hits 85, that is no different than 90). The problem with the first two days is that we also have an "Excessive Heat Watch" going on for them (I hope it doesn't turn into a "Warning" because I don't know what I will do then!). So, that means, when it is 94 on Thursday, it will feel like it is anywhere from 100 - 110 outside. And on Friday, it will feel as warm as 105.

I hate hot weather. Especially because I don't have an air conditioner.

105? That's like, over the boiling point of water

That's the US temperature scale. They use a different scale than the world does:

We're in the mid 90's here...my clothes just stay soaking wet.

I know, I was being silly.
105 is about 40.

You always get me hot under the collar.

F-C is take away 32, and divide by 1.8
C-F is multiply by 1.8 and add 32.

On top of all of the heat is going to be the humidity.

I honestly considered going to a hotel for a couple of days - I know I won't be sleeping at night otherwise. But I didn't realize that the hotels would be that expensive (I've never had to stay in one in this city before - so I didn't know). I looked into the ones out in the suburbs, too, and they really aren't any cheaper. So I will just stay at home and wait it out. Unfortunately, that means at least 2 nights of no sleep. Even with the fan directly on me, I can't sleep in that kind of heat.

And then you gave the pizza delivery guy a tip?

The pizza was hot, I ordered a cold one like they normally deliver. No tip.

My window AC broke right after putting it in this year (the fan or motor in the outer part started making this horrific noise). I found pressing the bottom & top of the outer part made the noise stop (tried tightening screws on the top part, but that only made it worse - and there are no screw heads on the bottom part). Then I tried to duct-tape it, but the tape came off within a day since it was wrapped around the outer part that blows out heat. So then I got some rope - that did the trick. My AC is being held together (and is fairly quiet) with rope!

It never gets hot in the south.
