    The heat is unbearable!!

    An hour ago (10PM) is was 28 degrees Celcius in my bedroom, it's now down to 27. I can't risk having the lower windows open (just a little bit on the hook), you never know what Fister might find interesting in the street during night. So I have all the top windows open and hope it'll be enough to cool my flat down a bit - but if you see me here all night, you know why.

    Could you all please turn to the North East and BLOW to get the wind going!

    I put a wet cloth on Fister, he even kept it on for some time.

    I know how you feel! It's currently 94F (34C?) - 77% humidity. Not a breeze in sight. I just took a cold shower and it doesn't even feel like it after stepping outside for 10 minutes with the dogs.

    Thank goodness we have air conditioning.

    Good grief, 34!! THAT is unbearable, especially because of the humidity. I remember how humid it was in Dominican Republic, and you're not that far from there. AC is a must - wish I had one!

    We have the heat/humidity thing here in Indiana too. It would seem
    unbearable to me also. Are you using electic fans at all? An AC unit would
    be better. They are pretty cheap in the US.

    The heat does not seem to bother the cats, but it does bother the dogs and
    one of them is always laying on the air vent.

    Yup. Been unbearably hot here too. It seems each year gets hotter and hotter than the year before. We've also noticed a distinct increase in POWERFUL storms. Global warming?

    I hate summer!!!

    I LOVE Spring! In spring, the tempreature and humidity are in complete balence, but the pollen...
    Yes, an ac unit around here is pretty cheap, about $100 for a good one around here.

    The real good AC's you have over there, are quite expensive here, and I suppose they'd have to be installed in the whole building.

    John bought a huge monstrum a few years ago, but it's in the cellar and I can't lift it on my own. It's one these that has a drawer in the bottom and you can put icewater in it and it will blow cool air out. I can also heat, has different settings.

    Well, it's down to 26,5 now, with open windows, so I'm off to bed.

    This temperature should only last a few more days.

    Yeah, it may be 103 but you have like 5%-0% humidity. I'd be fine in these tempatures, but the humidity is horrible!

    Man you are sooo lucky! I think 28 degrees is such a perfect temperature! I would love to have that warmth here, for me its still only at the teens like 10 and 12 degrees.

    That's also true, i hate the humidity, like especially when i was in Cali and so much humidity because of the beach as well. So that's a plus.

    Randi, I feel for you. So far we have had a fairly good summer and I haven't had to crank the AC on yet. I always try to hold out because when I was growing up we didn't have AC and it never bothered me, but age has a way of making that change. The first really hot day comes and I will cave.

    Today we had a high of 96* (35.5 C) with a heat index of 106! Plus around 70% humidity. Thank doG for Air Conditioning!

    My brother and I went to a couple stores to get out of the house and we broke a sweat just walking to the doors of the places! It is so hot out there! We'd be gone for 30 minutes and the car was scorching!
