The heat is unbearable!!

[Hellow]

Over here in Gerogia it is currently 92*F. Thank goodness for the almighty Air Conditioner!

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.

[catnapper]

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.

No, the $100 air conditioner goes into the window.

We have not had much very hot weather yet, not more than a day or two at a time. If I could, I'd send some of our weather your way, Randi, though Paul LIKES really hot weather. It's 17.2% C here right now, and the high is supposed to be 21-22 C tomorrow. Just right, as far as I am concerned!

[Randi]

Thank you, all! Kalei, I doubt you'd think 28C (82F) is a good temperature inside. Right now, it's 29,4 in my bedroom.

I live on a corner and have 7 windows facing the street, my bedroom has 3 windows facing Southwest. I have all the blinds down, plus the curtains in the bedroom drawn. Sometimes, I think it may be better to just close all the windows.

I'll go and cool down in a big supermarket now.

Right now it is 23°c in my bedroom and that is with the air conditioner going. Hubby decided that Vixen needed one. He said she is a canadian cat and is not used to the hot weather here in Italy. You think he is a cat guy? I was begging him last summer to buy one and no way. But he decided after we had a early hot spell that Vixen should not suffer this year so out he went and spent €1000 on an air conditioning system for our cat. The humans aren't important but the cats need to be comfy.

You are right, that is far to hot for sleeping in.... . Cannot you have a fan installed on the ceiling of your bedroom? We did that, and it is much more comfortable now

I hate summer too! It's so hot and SO humid here- yuck, just going outside for a minute leaves you feeling sticky and gross.

This year is supposed to be a bad year of hurricanes. The worst heat I've ever felt was the days following a hurricane- it's very hot, extremely humid, and very still- no breeze at all. To top it off it's sometimes several days without power. With one hurricane we went a week without power and then our AC was broken, it was another week until that was fixed. We now have a generator and a window AC unit that we can run if that happens. The window unit will only be able to cool one room, but we can all live out of one room for that period of time.

In Pittsburgh, the temperature is in the high 80s with high humidity. I can usually take the heat, but with the kind of job I have I get worn out very quickly. I cut grass on a golf course.

We had a nice rain last night so it cooled it down a bit. It's currently 84F & 62% humidity.

I'm still going outside to go swimming right now.
