This Heat is Brutal

I can’t handle the heat, never have. It’s been high 90’s, and the humidity is just terrible.

I like cold. All I can keep thinking about is the mini blizzard we had just a few months ago. I spent 3 hours shoveling 4 feet of snow out of a driveway that’s 20 feet long, and I did it all in a tshirt, cotton shorts, and a pair of commando boots. Felt so good.

Yup. Anything above 70 and I’m grumpy.

It was 98 degrees here…with 50%humidity. Doesn’t bother me as far as weight workouts…but it damn near gives a authentic “Thailand” feel to muay thai class as we don’t have AC.

Its helping build tolerance to it as long as I stay hydrated(I love Smart Water).

That was the one nice thing about TX heat when I was there, the humidity wasn’t that bad. In MD, more often than not it’s near 100% when it’s really hot out[/quote]

Yeah…central Texas is not that bad…but East TX(where I grew up)is horrible in the summer when talking about humidity and heat.

Of course I didn’t know what humid really was until I went to South Carolina for basic.

Blame Al Gore.

When I saw that the East is incredibly hot, it just annoyed me.

Seattle weather has been even WORSE than a typical Spring. Last two weeks have been cloudy and rainy…and this week is the last week the University of Washington is in session.

Do you realize how much cleavage we’ve missed out on?

Good thing I’m going to Mexico in 3 weeks.

95 today in the Burgh. No AC in the gym here either, as it should be. Just big industrial fans blowing the hot air around. I love it.

105 today tomarrow is 108
average for the next 10 days
is sunny and average of 107 or so

I work outside,no shade and might i add I am white
not just white but ginger kid white.

have a nice day fellas

46 for a high here at 2700 ft. elev. in MT tomorrow. Snow in the mountains above 4000 ft.

The cool air will feel good when I read this thread about the sauna.

Wait, 4000 ft is when your mountains start?

Wow, that’s boring.

I live in the part of the state with the lowest elevations. Mountains “start” right around 2700 ft.

Due to difference in latitude that might be comparable, climate wise, to about 7000 ft. in CO. I have seen it snow in every month of the year (over several different years) even at the lower elevations.

Froze my garden (2700 ft.) twice last July.[/quote]

Fuck, we are at about 5400 ft where I live and it usually gets past 100 several times a year.

The heat here in Sweden is described in the press as “scorching”.

There is AC in my gym but it’s timid, at best.

Lixy- you lift?

I… for some reason I guess I thought you didn’t.

On topic, I work outside, and it’s usually between 95 and 105.

I’m grateful for work, the heat just means I drink more water.

I’ve lived on Oklahoma my whole life. Its gets hot here, but I didn’t know what heat and humidity were until I went to FT. Jackson for BCT in June 2005.

I would even say that FT. Jackson that summer was worse than what I’ve experienced in Iraq.

Yep hot as hell (and humid !) here in Maryland, kinda sucks the energy right out of ya.

Arizona = no humidity

Suprisingly its 92 here right now with only 42% humidity in Columbia…extremely low humidity for here any time of the year…much less summer

Got mine in the water 2 weeks ago.

It’s sunny and 90 degrees here in Connecticut, with winds currently out of the south at gusts of 4 to 8 knots, 7 mile visibility. Not the best sailing weather, so I’ll head to the gym, where the climate is always the same 70 degrees year round. But I don’t mind the heat, as long as I don’t have to break rocks in the noonday sun.

Google claims its 97 here just north of New Orleans. ONLY 41% humidity. Low today, odd.

Google is always wrong…

weather.com says its 80, feels like 84, humidity is 80%. Now that’s more like it. I can’t complain at all.

Dry heat is easy to deal with. I’d rather it be 100*F and dry than 85-90 and humid any day, although the humidity is good for my mucous membranes. :slight_smile:

I actually like the summer - if I have access to a swimming pool and AC. I don’t have neither now. It sucks when it’s hot and humidity is sky high. I suck it up but I aint liking it!
