Hot hot hot!

We're in the middle of yet another heat wave. I wore a short sleeve twin set sweater to work yesterday because they set the AC so low. Well, the AC unit BROKE yesterday! We had the techs out and they couldn't do anything because the unit was completely frozen over. They said to turn the units off, let them defrost and then they could do something. I was absolutely dying. I was stripping layers off, to my cowrkers singing the stripping song

Then, I was laying in bed last night sweating and miserable. My window ac unit was set to its lowest setting (60 degrees) and yet the room was sweltering. The thermometer on the clock said the room was actually 85 degrees! the window unit froze over like the ones at work!

We took the one from the livingroom and now I have a gazillion BTUs for a bedroom. Its c-c-c-c-old in this room, and I couldn't be happier

The weather has been so crazy all around the world!!
We had 100 degree weather here last week and this week it's ugly, cold and cloudy (but I like it). What happened to our "sunny California" weather?? I don't mind the sun, its the high temps I don't like.

Headed to around 100 again today, and humidity thick enough to cut with a knife! I would melt into a little grease spot without my central air. I don't know how people live without at least a bedroom a.c. so that they can get some relief when it's as miserably hot as it is now. Last summer here was even worse than this tho, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

In Denmark, we've been lucky so far. It's not been up to 30C yet, but it has been rather humid at times. I'm OK as long the humidity stays under 60%, though. I wonder why some places are so humid and others dry. In Spain, I can stand a lot more heat, because the air there is dry.

The last couple of years, I have at times had 27C in my bedroom at night, that is unbearable! Even my summer duvet has been too warm.

AC is not common here, very few have it, but fans are used. Only, I get a cold every time I sit in front of a fan.

Hope you all get some relief soon!

I didn't realize they could freeze over.

It has been in the 90's here the last couple days. The news people are sending out "heat advisories".

I am glad to come to work where it is cool.

On a side note, my kitties apparently do not like the AC because they go to the warmest room in the house when I have it cranked up. Maybe I should get them sweaters.

I heard on the weather report yesterday, as I drove into my work parking lot at 7am, that people were flocking to Seattle to cool down! They said it was already 87F in Phoenix. I was perfectly happy to step out into our cool upper fifties morning air, the sky pale blue and cloudy, humidity low, and walk briskly to work. I couldn't stand living anywhere else. It does get tedious sometimes to have so very few sunny days, but I'd rather that than live with both heat and humidity.

We are so cool here that one of the mountain passes isn't going to open this summer because they still have 50 feet of snow which the cool weather this spring didn't melt off sufficiently for crews to work on clearing the rest.

I hear Texas hasn't had any rain for 9 months, is that right?
