Mrs_JWM Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'm about to take a nap in the basement in a folding lawn chair. My cat even came down with me. Sent from my XT1049 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 It is so hit that I turned the AC on even though it is leaking enough to ruin our floors. Oddly though it isn't currently leaking. I haven't used it in over a month because of this leak and turned it on today because it feels like 105 and we're having guests over in a bit. No leak present. I'm confused 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amira Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 It's so hot that a high of 105 would be noticeably cooler than our high temperatures every day for the last many weeks (and the next many weeks to come). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelli Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 We awoke to find our air conditioner had gone out overnight. The kids and I have escaped to the library for the day while dh waits for the A/C man. Heat index is supposed to be 112 degrees today so there was no way we were staying at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 It's so hot that I went grocery shopping a few hours after sunset so that I could manage the cart and steering wheel without burning my hands. It's so hot that a friend had her container of laundry detergent explode in her car when she left it in the trunk for a couple of hours while errand running. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I can't wear a sweatshirt at night. I realize that may seem stupid, but I *adore* having warm days and cool nights. One of my favorite things in the world is going out in a tank top and having a sweatshirt in the trunk to throw on when the sun goes down. That is how we do. Our house has 1 window AC unit, which is usually turned off after dinner so we don't wake up freezing. Last night, with the AC and a fan on, I broke a sweat. It was in the 70s overnight. It's supposed to feel like 95 this afternoon. :glare: I get that it's so much hotter elsewhere, but it's not supposed to be like this here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartlikealion Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It's so hot/humid I debate taking the baby on a stroll because when I come back to the house I'm sweating and desperately want a shower (which is not always possible). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have AC. I should not be this warm! That reminds me... in NL, they consider it a heat wave if the high is >86F for 3 days in a row (ROTFL, right?). One time, in our 1 bedroom apartment in DFW (top floor, facing south-west or so), we had a "heat wave" inside with the central A/C running full time. That was not fun. We even vaguely contemplated buying a window unit, but seriously, it was 1 bedroom, living room, tiny kitchen, tiny bathroom - having central A/C AND a window unit would've been insane (and so was our electric bill, even without a window unit).

momto3innc Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Heat index was 116 this week. The other night the heat index was 95 at 11:00 at night. Seriously so miserable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It's so hot that I set my AC at 80 and it feels cool when you come in from outside. I set it at 80 because I picture dollar bills flying out the vents as it turns on incessantly trying to keep it "cool" at 80. My upstairs unit can't even keep up and it's over 80 up there anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 And we had a frost last night. Don't hate me. You can remind me of my post in January, when it's -40 here. Yeah, I've been reminding myself that I was also very grouchy about the weather when it was single digits this past winter. Now it's 98 with a heat index of 110 or some such thing. That's ehat Maryland weather is: freezing freezing cold, then burning, burning hot. I think we get 3 pretty days a year. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbridgeacademy Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It's so hot/humid that my tomatoes are rotting before they're even ripe, the pepper plants refuse to put on fruit and I have completely given up on the garden because I refuse to go outside during the daylight and there's 1000 mosquitoes at dusk. Luckily my A/C is keeping up, after the upstairs unit being out for a month. The only relief we've had was 2 weeks ago when a storm came through and knocked down both the trees in my front yard and this morning when it was looking like rain and I went to the grocery store. An hour later upon leaving the rain had disappeared but left all it's sticky heaviness in the air and the sun was back in full force. I still hate Winter more but I'm reconsidering.

Farrar Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The humidity it's what's killer. The air is reminding me of southern China. You don't just walk out there, you have to push your way through the thickness of the air. Mostly I'm feeling grateful. Apparently a huge swath of my neighborhood and the surrounding 'hoods are all in the midst of a giant brown out. Hoping not to jinx it because I really, really don't want to spend tonight without a/c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 You have not experienced hot until you've hung clothes out to dry on the line and actually had them shrink! Into forms of curvilinear sculpture no less! That requires some dryness to the air. Clothes hung outside don't dry down here -- they mildew. Until the rains finally came 2 days ago we had several weeks of temps over 100, heat indexes over 110, and humidity to match. It is so hot that just thinking about opening a curtain causes one to break out in a sweat. It is so hot the saying is now "like a bat out of here". It is so hot that even the newest transplants now understand why my car gets festooned with towels throughout the inside. Even with the towels covering things we still have to use some as hot mitts to buckle our seat belts or touch the steering wheel. Thank goodness for really good vehicle a/c -- I can actually get the steering wheel cool enough to touch without a hot mitt by the time I'm home with the shopping. It's so hot even insulated shopping bags with freezer dogs isn't enough to keep the frozen food fully frozen for the 15-minute drive home from the store.
