Because you have a 2003 and your thermometer is up by the rear view mirror.

 

It was 117° here in Phoenix yesterday and today. A muscleheaded idiot I know went running--citing an old wives' tale that, "you can't get heatstroke twice in one summer." He proved himself wrong, needless to say.

 

For those of you who don't know, Cardiff is a beach town. It was a wet heat!

We went for a bike ride and an altimiter/thermometer watch showed as high as 109. Where is the team car with 70 water bottles!

 

Two things....

1. I wirked 10 hrs a day, for 3 days in a row, where it was 118 degreese, no joke it was horrible, Oh yeah, I work out in the hot sun all day.

2. My temp on the tach is in celcus. I thought it was cool, because it came from Canada.

 

Finally dipped below 100 outside, at about 9:30. It's still nearly that in my house -- this California bungalow has no air conditioning, and it's too hot to use the whole house fan.

Thank goodness I have self-saturating tee shirts to help keep me cool!

 

It is 11:05 PM

Check it out:

 

still 99 here

 

are you guys kiddin me?

25% humidity high???


try 98 degrees at 80-95% humidity, then you have something to complain about!!!

 

Omg, if you think that's hot, try detailing a black car in 110 degree weather!!! It's the last time I'll ever try something so foolish. Although I was in the shade, just a few squirts of quick detailer, and you could see it evaporating off the paint immediately--literally steaming!

And it was so humid that all my chemicals became runny. My wax took 5 times longer to dry. Then to top it off, it began raining!!!

Crazy weather!!!

 

When you get up to 110º at even 25% humidity, you'll pray for that 98º at 80-95% humidity. I've had both.

 

THAT'S not cool.

 

If only... We have a tropical flow so the max humidity is 60-70% at 100°+. 98 felt chilly. As VRBeauty pointed out, we all live in California bungalows with no A/C. (Where's the sweating smiley?)

 

if that was celcius, you'd be the boiled eggg

 

I love this heat, dosen't last long enough for me up here. Most of the time I'm freezing, so no complaints about the heat.

 

Yeah yeah, come down to the central valley for a day, you'll change your mind.

 

Our summer average has been about 80. But today, a special treat, thunderstorms, lots of lightening and thunder. For the SoCal area this is lots of coolness as it's rare.

 

Wow, a little after 10am and already 102

 

I'm in Seattle for the summer, my first time in this area, up from Florida. Despite only being 90-something here, I have to say this lack of air conditioning is Killing me. I've been getting very little sleep at night because it's just too darn hot in this room. Now I understand why everyone in FL keeps the buildings frigid during the summer. When will the west coast discover A/C??

 

alt 679 = º

cause we're a lil geeky

We hit 37.5ºC last week, with some humidity, felt like 42ºC.. I believe that is near 100ºF...

 

I've an 03 and my thermometer is in my tach. My clock is by my mirror.
We're lucky here in Hawaii, it doesn't get too hot, mid 80's today. I'm glad of that because I don't do well in the heat.

 

The tunnel i have to drive through to get to manhattan, according to my MINI, is 118 degrees at 30mph traffic, and if were stopped it gets to be 120

 

Yeah, I was in a kart yesterday and the helmit and sock suuuucked.

Cardiff, sweet. I'm just up the coast in Carlsbad.

 

Hmm...how about you all deal with under -30C with wind chills. In the end, I think you would appreciate the hot stuff...

I think it may be easier to appreciate in the abstract....

111 outside, 95 in here where it's cooler.

At least it's a clean sweat.

 

DID THE VERMONT WINTER THING. SAW -50°f BEFORE WIND CHILL. ITS NOT MUCH DIFFERNT THAN THE 112° THAT IT IS HERE NOW. YOU JUST DRESS DIFFERNTLY AND YOU ONLY GO OUTSIDE WHEN YOU HAVE TO.
