35 degrees and it’s just the beginning. I can’t understand how anyone can be outside by their own will like this (unless you’re forced to work in those conditions, construction workers and similar).

    Come to the southern US where humidity is at an average 75% all year round. Not only is it hot, the air is hot, and heavy, and wet and will make you feel stickier than a woman in a bukkake

    95°F for us Americans.

    That is hot. How bad is the humidity? That’s the part I hate. It makes breathing so difficult for me.

    That’s definitely unpleasantly hot. Not everywhere is that hot in the summer, though. Stay cool!

    I hate the heat too, I’d rather it was below freezing. That being said, I think so many of us at least in the US spend so much time in temperature controlled spaces that it makes it harder to deal with. There’s kids in my neighborhood but you’d never know it unless the outside temperature is between 70 and 80 degrees. I’m gonna sound like the old fart here but I’ve never lived in a house with central air, never went to a school that was air conditioned and until recently never had a work van with working AC. Like a lot of modern conveniences they make us lose our ability to cope. People have been around a lot longer than these comforts. Rant over.

      For two years, I worked outdoors in 90+ heat (freedom units) and humidity in the summer and freezing temperatures in the winter. I’ve found that my ability to still be comfortable in both heat and cold is tons better than my husband’s. He works from home and enjoys the A/C pretty much 24/7.

    Fishing, building decks, hiking, tromping in the woods, drinking in the yard, parties, beaches, tan lines, sundresses, bikes, cigars, sports. Plenty of good comes from summer times.

    I like it when it’s 95 outside (35 c)! You can wear shorts and flip flops, and spray yourself with water.

      The fact that you need to spray yourself with water because your body isn’t able to cope with the temperature on its own isn’t maddening to you? I mean you do you, that weather is just really really annoying to me.

        I’d much rather be hot than cold. I hate the cold. I hate being bundled up just to go outside, and never feeling warm all winter long. But I grew up where it was regularly 112 (44.44 C) degrees outside. I love going swimming, and being nice and warm when I’m working or playing outside. I do not like hot and humid combined though. Hot and arid is perfectly fine for me. Now I live where it’s pretty cold, and they have heat advisories when it’s over 85 (29.44 C) and I just chuckle at how sensitive to heat the locals are, and enjoy myself.

        PS, how accurate should I be when quoting Celsius? Do I use decimals? If so, to what accuracy?

          I do agree, hot and arid is bearable, or at least more bearable. I think part of this discussion is that places that tend to be cooler will get humid when it gets hot so people living there hate the heat doubly so?

          As for the celcius precision: Full degrees is fine we don’t do decimals either. One degree difference is still not really noticeable, a few degrees are definitely noticeable.

            Thanks! I’ll drop the decimals then.

            Yeah man, 95 F (35 C) is unbearable when it’s humid. I ran a 10k once in Florida when it was 85 F (29 C) and 85% humidity, and I thought I was literally going to die. I couldn’t cool off, and I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t stop running, or I’d lose the race. I was young, so the idea of losing the race instead of dying was inconceivable to me, winning was the only option. I didn’t win, but I did get 2nd place, which is pretty good considering I wasn’t accustomed to that weather. I didn’t die either, which was nice.

    Summer was fine before climate change made anti-cyclonic weather so awful and hot.

    If you are not working, just go to the pool.

    Or if you have young children, go to the paddling pool or to the water jets.
