How fucking hot is it where you are?

It's really really fucking hot here. People are losing their rags left right and centre; there's forest fire alerts and people are fleeing into the mountains because despite everything air-conditioning is still for posh people. It's going to get hotter, too.

In short: Condition = ARGH fuck HOT.

How about you?

For the last days, it was 30 degrees celsius. I don´t like such heat at all, and yesterday was very humid, to boot.

Today, it was supposed to be cooler, but I didn´t notice, spending the day inside reading. When I went for a walk in the evening, it was pleasantly cool.

I'm sitting beside a window that's wide open at midnight in England and my arms and legs are exposed to the world. So relatively hot.

22:07 / 16.07.05

S'alright here. Then again I've got a fan pointed at me. It's only on 1 though.

22:11 / 16.07.05

Was going to say it had cooled down in the last few hours but then thought I am wearing only shorts, every door and window in the house is wide open, and it's after midnight. Sizzlin'.

And my protuberant little stomach is sunburnt - an island of pink in a sea of white flesh.

22:13 / 16.07.05

cooled down to -2 overnight here; we expect a balmy 9 degrees (celcius, of course) today... but then we are canberra, southern hemisphere, winter, near our alps...

enjoy the warm, but remember to slip slop slap!

Thanks to the hurricane two states over the temp here has dropped to about 90. It was 105. August will be hotter.

Fuck, I hate Texas in the summer.

23:11 / 16.07.05

Over here it's hotter than a topless ruth maddoc dancin to some Nelly music. Hot? Hell. You don't know hot. It's so hot that you'd be beggin' for a chance that Catholicism were 100 percent true, so you could safely commit suicide knowing that your eternal sould would go to Hell just so you could get some relief from how hot it is here. It's so hot here that people are eatin popsicles made of boilin hot volcanoe lava, and the stuff is still meltin before they can get the wrappers off. Hell, it's so hot here that if you whipped out your John Thomas and started peein in front of some Sr citizens, you can damn sure bet that one of them old folk who fought in the big one would have flashbacks to the flamethrowers they used in WW2, cuz the hotness would turn your urine into flame my friend. You have no idea what hot is.

It's really not that hot here. I visited the south of France in February once and it was about the same temperature we are currently experiencing in Scotland. Thing is, if you're used to the incredibly boring Scottish weather, this is pretty hot. Add to that my hugely swollen pregnancy feet and I'm really rather uncomfortable in this weather.

01:14 / 17.07.05

We're getting the aftermath of Hurricane Dennis, here, for the last several days, so it's not as hot as it has been, and rather drizzly. But, when the sun comes out it's beyond humid. The atmosphere turns to soup.

02:19 / 17.07.05

It is untenably hot, all I have had the energy to do is lounge. In fact I still have tarmacadam stuck to my feet from yesterday because of the hotness and its melty ways.

The evening (well, morning) is quite pleasant outside... but for some reason my flat is baking. I suspect someone in the building (presumably, for reasons of physics, the guy downstairs) is a mentalist who has their heating on all the time.

03:33 / 17.07.05

Over 33 celsius daily. Thunderstorms most days. It's sooo nice!

Florida is hell's waiting room. That's why people come here to die. And why it's So Fucking Hot. But I'll be out of here in August, so the heat is just reminding me how happy I am that I'm leaving.

18:01 / 17.07.05

Yeah, what's Fucking Hot Fahrenheit in Celsius? Like 500 C?

of course, this is part of the reason why I love it here. I'm drenched in sweat right now and about to go outside to do more gardening. One pineapple is already ripe. The other nearly so.

And the swamp creatures only come out at night, when it cools down.

19:57 / 17.07.05

Stop frontin' Grant. I've never seen a pineapple tree in Florida.

20:53 / 17.07.05

-4 here this morning. la la la... brisk, pristine blue sky, snow on the distant peaks, cooooool, cooooool, mmmmmmmmmm........

18:37 / 19.07.05

I am fucking dying. It's been only in the mid-80s here (F obviously) but the humidity is through the roof so it feels like at least 100. Yesterday I had to work outside painting someone's fucking garbage bins - hot, humid, dirty, bug-infested. I could barely squat down to do the bottoms because the entire lengths of my hot, heavy painters pants were sticking to my legs. FUCK. Or how 'bout refinishing a table today? Ever had the experience of being a billion degrees, soaked in sweat, and covered in wood dust? Oh yeah.

On top of that, try housetraining a puppy in this madness. Pee outside? In this? No thanks, I'll just hide in this patch of shade under the car and wait until we're indoors to pee on the floor, then drink another half gallon of water and pee on the rug. Thanks.

Miserable. Fucking miserable.

And we have had them turn down the heat for your London visit, MC. You will have noticed the breeze and the hint of evening coolness behind it.

Because we're working and can't come to Hyde Park tomorrow, we also ordereed up a mild drizzle. Enjoy. It will be a pleasant change for you from the Catalan summer climate.

Here in the Big D it tends to remain between 90 and 105 degrees farenheit for three solid months, sometimes four. I only really fell in love with constantly wearing coat and tie when I noticed the looks of abject horror on people's faces when they saw me dressed that way in the middle of july.

Sekhmet? Any comments on the Awestonian weather?

13:07 / 20.07.05

Eh, about the same. Upper 90's and low 100's when it's not actively raining.

Thank the gods, though, it's been raining. After over a month without a single drop, the waters have returned.

Which, of course, means that now it's hot AND fucking humid. Steamy. Like living in a giant sauna.

I'm just glad I don't live in fucking Arizona. It's been getting up to 120 there...

13:33 / 20.07.05

Very,very hot!
Then again I am on holiday in Corfu... and at present I'm sitting in my swimming trunks, nursing extreeme sunburn(we Scottish are reknowned for our inability to tan)

So far NYC hasn't been too bad. It's been hovering around 32C / 90F for the last while and the humidity has only been unbearable two days or so out of each week. It's August that I'm really dreading, when it'll regularly be 35C / 95F with 90%+ humidity on an almost daily basis. Nothing like having to travel to work on a crowded subway with non-functioning AC while wearing a suit in that weather.
