Update. AC has a broken valve and it will take a week to repair. FML.

Going to a hotel.

I live in Round Rock TX. My AC went out last week for two days. I have a portable AC unit just for these types of occasions. Had to hunker down in my bedroom for two days until it was fixed. I can only take my dogs out for walks before 7am. Life in Texas. Still better than living with the loons in California. I moved here in 2003.

been absolutely brutal these last few weeks hasn’t rained in months.

My air is starting to crap out.

Going to spend the rest of the summer in NJ. Forget this.

What’s it like for y’all down here in the south?

In before someone says Arizona is hotter.

I hated working occasionally in the DFW area. The heat and humidity was too much.

I like to spend my summers at the lake, on a boat, and my winters on a snowmobile.

Sold my house in RR in 2020. Just before it went insane with prices. FML

it nver rains any more

. Rains alll the time in the Midwest. Torrential downpour Saturday morning into lunch, but when it doesn’t rain…….that humidity is killer. Walk outside shirt instantly sucks in and sticks to you, like today.

Mine to, Texas Tribune is known for click baiting bs. Last month our electricity bill was cheaper despite the AC running 24/7.

Makes sense because I haven't heard anyone talking about their bill being crazy like a 50% increase. I did hear this solar guy trying to sell me on that BS but I still said no thanks after checking my bill to be sure.

 

[KOQ24]

Best places to live in the US right now where it's not as hot as hell?

Maine ???

 

[Justin Sider]

I feel for you guys down there. Spent some time in Decatur Texas in the summer on a drilling rig. Being from ND, I almost died from the heat in the office! The rig crew was full of badasses. I'll take the snow over heat anyday though.

Is that why they shoot people in Outback restaurants in Texas?

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

i usually run 3miles at 630am with my dog, but it might be too hot for that

Even worse here in Houston since it's even more humid.

And Arizona Cardinal JJ Watt shut all that Arizona is hotter mess down:

The Twitter conversation pivoted to the Bayou City's balmy weather when a fan asked Watt what if thought Arizona heat is worse than Houston's. Watt responded: "Houston by a mile. That humidity is no joke."

Climate change is a fact, not a theory.

I think about it on a regular basis. The amazing thing to me is that the weather (which is not the same as climate) is much different where I am than it was when I was a kid or even in University.

Summers used to be insanely hot and humid. There was a brown haze that hung over Toronto. the sky was rarely blue in the summer. Yellow would be a good a description of the color of the sky. 35, or 37C would not be unusual for a few days in the summer. Now they issue a weather warning if it's going to exceed 30C!! And let's talk about humidity. It's rarely humid. Oppressive humidity used to be the norm.

In short, the lower summer extreme temps, lower humidity, decrease in Ohio river valley dirty manufacturing, change in wind patterns, and improvement in car emissions, has made for air quality and weather that is much more enjoyable for my kids than it was when i was a kid.

Winters are much less harsh with a lot less snow. When I was a kid you could get snow in November, now I'm surprised when I can't ride my bike though the Christmas holidays. Winter arrives later and so does spring. From what I understand, it is due to the temperature change in the water in the Atlantic flowing from the south to the north.

I wouldn't trade the old weather we had, when I was a kid, for what we've had for the last 15yrs. Unfortunately, I don't think other parts of the world have benefited in the way that we have. There are many places where drought and extreme temps are going to make living almost untenable, or at the very least very, very difficult. It could easily happen in 25-40yrs that some place of significant population could be almost unlivable.

Water issues in SoCal/Arizona/Utah could be a very serious issue in the next 25yrs. OTOH - it's possible that wind and climate shift in a way that they get regular rain.

I'll say this, I've lived in a few places that I liked a lot more than living around the great lakes but one thing that makes think twice about moving back out west or the south is that I don't have to worry about water in my lifetime if I'm close to the great lakes.

AC broke. Have to find a hotel with my family and dogs. FML.

Is AirBNB legit?

 

[lowlife]

Just got my energy bill for this month, increased significantly. Also another Ercot warning today about rolling blackouts and energy conservation. I already leave my thermostat at 78 until the sun goes down, not much more I can do there. My balls is hot ffs.

I can deal with the heat to a point . . . it's the humidity that drives me crazy.

 

[spamking]

It's gonna be 111-113 today in Southern AZ...

I'd actually take that over it being 93 and 60% humidity or higher. Heck, 30% humidity at 93 sucks big time.
