I have only lived here a few years and for the first 2 summers it was not so hot. LAST year only July was bad but THIS YEAR! Last night at 11 pm my home was 83 degrees and outside was only 80!Originally Posted by lisalee
I feel for you, I hate hot weather! We had very warm weather over the Memorial Day weekend and now it's been very cool, only in the 60's the last two days. I can't tolerate the heat anymore, it just drains my energy and gives me headaches.

It's way to hot now, what is this month and August and Sept going to be like, It's been over 100 all this week, How is it where everyone else is?
Sunny and 80-ish around here lately. Luckily the new house has a celieng fan in every bedroom. We just got a quickset pool for the backyard. That sure cools ya off!
Mid 90s here...quite toasty.
Low 90's here right now with a high of 92 (but the heat index is near 100). The air conditioner hasn't stopped running for more than 30 minutes today. I dread the electric bill, but love the cool air. My poor husband is out building our privacy fence. He is drenched in sweat, I feel so bad for not helping him, but someone's got to stay inside with the kids.
It's 30° C/86° F in southern Germany right now, and due to get hotter this week. That might not sound bad, but air conditioning is definitely not the norm here (except in newer cars). We're dying for some rain, too. My little cutie pie spends most of the day lounging on top of the freezer in the cellar. He's also become quite fond of the tower fan in the living room, and has lost all fear of the "fan monster" (large oscillating fan) in the bedroom. I had to work yesterday (it's exam time), and it was so hot at school that the teachers present were pressuring my boss to get air conditioners for the two hottest classrooms. Summer vacation doesn't start till August 3rd, and they're both pretty unbearable.
When we moved to Ramstein in July 1992, it was 95 degrees for a week straight. There was no AC in the base temporary housing and it was miserable. We had just moved from San Antonio where everyone has an AC.
One of my Spanish colleagues put it this way yesterday: Germans are very proud of how much energy they conserve, but don't consider the loss of productivity caused by the lack of AC. Or the damage caused by ozone in its overcrowded cities; the population density in NYC has nothing over that in large German cities.
I figure a big part of the problem is the type of windows used here; you can't install window air conditioners because of the lack of double hung windows. An area AC requires a window "tipped open" from the top, and a hose stuck through the opening.
It's really hot here in Los Angeles, although right now, I'm pretty comfortable. I don't have a/c so it's really hard on me, when I have to sleep during the day, and work at night. I didn't work last night, and slept like normal people do, (at night) and I still wokr up with my bed linens wet from sweating.
I'm in NC...we're at 91 now but last week we were at 102.

Oh I hate to see that bill to, I have the air on 3 ceiling fans and 3 tower fans on, I just can't get moviated to do anything, whewwwww now I remember why I hate summer
But I hate rain to
I'm never happy
Northern NY it's 85 & sunny & very windy-we're in the line for some pretty strong T-storms later-the earlier ones went around us
Do you have AC? NC is pretty muggy, in my memory.
I'm visiting my MIL in Arizona just now. It's REALLY hot down here...in the 100s. It didn't seem too bad the first few days, but I'm starting to get tired of all this HEAT.
I'm from the valley too! It's only around 90 today but it was 105 last week!Originally Posted by MyBabies
You So CA people have sent the heat to us Central Valley Ca people!

Ok now this is just getting way outta hand this heat :
, it's over 100 and it's going to get worse, I am so miserable I hate having to close the house all up. I don't have a bit of energy and no desire to do anything, I think it's depressing.
