All of the sudden it's summer

[rjamz]

So far summer has been fairly pleasant. Last week the weather was amazing. Now, BAM, we're in the 90s for the next few days. Ugh, I hate the heat. And now the city is gonna smell like pee and garbage. Yuck.

[TrudyCampbell]

I know, it's hot here at my ILs and they live on the water so I can't even imagine the city. Yuck.

POOL. That is all.

[rjamz]

It was hot at 7:30 when I walked the dog. And smelled like pee.

Show off

:pouts:

The playground near me has a little sprinkler, but there's a big splash pad about .5 miles away. The question is whether I want to walk in the heat to get to that sprinkler

[cat19]

Are you going to play in the splash pad or sprinkler? If so, then yes, it's worth the walk. If not then no.

Ha! I'm just picturing myself shoving kids aside yelling, "it's my water. Mine!"

It cracks me up that it's just now officially summer. It's been hotter than balls for a while here. This week, it's actually not supposed to get up in the 90s. It's like a refreshing break amidst the bullshit that is summer in Atlanta.

Its so gross out. I walked DD and DH out this morning at 6:30am and it was humid and stagnant out. I can only imagine what it will feel like later on at like 2pm. Gross.

Lol that is what I thought! It was *only* 90 degrees yesterday and we were like, yes!!! We got to eat lunch outside! Then again, I do live in California dry heat (valley) and that makes all the difference, even if 100+ degree weather is a regular occurrence.

No pee smell (I can't even imagine) so that gives all you in that area major props in my book.

The humidity is the worst. It makes me feel so dirty all the time

We don't have a/c. My goal today is to fix that.

Has anyone used the freestanding (not window) a/c units? We have bars over our windows, so I can't put window units in.

Our apartment is long and narrow (one floor of a brownstone) with tiny rooms, so I'd probably have to set up a fan network to circulate air.

My friend has one in her basement. It works pretty well.

And don't worry, my AC is blasting today you can keep cool over here

[JuliaGulia]

It's 94 degrees in my office right now with the crappy old AC on. I have a skylight over my desk and I think I might die before the end of the day!!

This made me giggle.

I'll be playing personal transport to grandma and great grandma today so no sign of water in the playground relief until late this afternoon.

We have them. It works out well.

I hate the humidity. Just makes me feel disgusting.

[raynes]

It's hot as balls up here right now. The "feels like" temp is 38°C, or 100°F. Isn't Canada supposed to be cold and shit?

[imimahoney]

I'm giving final exams today and tomorrow. Right now it is 88 degrees in my classroom

[bigapple]

TrudyCampbell and @pcloadletter, what brand do you guys have that you like?

Good thing DH passes a Home Depot on his walk home from work!

You Northerners and your 90* "heat waves."

I promise we don't make fun of Floridians busting out the puffy jackets when it drops to 50. Pinky swear.

[mumegs]

It was 90 all weekend here too, sofuckinghot. We northerners are not used to this kind of heat!! We don't have a/c either, we would only use it for like 2 months of the year anyway. We did make it to a local public pool but there were about 1,000 other people there too.
Here's my baby enjoying our awesome window fan though.

[shevacc]

It's drizzly and 60 in Seattle today, high of 70. Was 80 over the weekend, not humid. Come visit?

I think it's LG? I'm not home but ill check tonight.

I'll glady take a dry 100 over a humid 85-90. I have family in AZ and their 100 doesnt feel like our 100. Its SOOO much different.

[fusion]

85 and breezy in Barbados (hot) It's our last day though and supposed to be over 100 degrees for the next forever back home. So not looking forward to entertaining 2 kids while possibly pregnant in that.

Agree. When it was 95-100 in Kansas the heat index would be like 115. We just moved to Colorado and it has been in the 90's and you barely feel hot because there is no humidity.
