94 Degrees Here

[Chrystal-J]

Feels hotter--I can't even go outside. I tried, but I couldn't breathe.

 

[pdudgeon]

Father, I pray that you will send relief to Chrystal-J, and cool water, and a breeze, that she might be able to withstand the heat.
I pray also for shade for her, so that she can rest.

 

[Going_Nowhere]

All I can say is....thank goodness for air conditioning.

 

[dzheremi]

Yep. 95 here right now. Sun won't be going down for another two hours, too. Summer is going to be brutal this year. Stay cool, everybody! Drink plenty of water!

Lord have mercy. I have slept with my AC on the past few nights. Tonight is not so bad though.

 

[Lady Bug]

Same here. Heat index here is probably 100. The pastor was saying how the air conditioner was finally working and I'm like...no it's not...I was sweating in there.

 

[Chrystal-J]

My church has no AC (it's ceiling is 4 stories high). But it's still gonna be boiling hot unless the weather changes.
If this is how the weather's gonna be all summer, I may just stay in my house. I can do delivery service for food.

Does your church even have ceiling fans? I'd settle for those, perhaps.

I’m really stressed about this. Mom’s A C is not working as it should. She will not let me call service in. The humidity is through the roof along with the heat index. My stepdad’s services will not be this Friday but the next Friday. It’s a mess. Not a normal June! It’s miserable! Lord have mercy.

It's not even the first day of Summer and the heat is already unbearable. And with Indian Summer that comes in September, that means we're in for a long ride. Ugh why do people wait for this weather? This weather is torture. My B.O. even changes in this weather lol. Eww.

It's been in the upper 90s all week here so I feel for you. We've been under an Excessive Heat Warning and an Air Quality Alert all week as well so I've been staying inside except for a few minutes on the balcony from time to time. I have asthma as well as several other chronic health conditions and so even though I want to go swimming with my son, I'm afraid to do so because I'm afraid it will severely affect my health.

It was 104 here the other day. Southern Nebraska

My wife and I are in Darwin, Northern Territory at the moment.

It's a subtropical climate (in my opinion tropical). It's technically the first month of winter and the start of the "Dry", but temperatures are around 20C minimum (68F) and sometimes verging on 35C maximum (95F).

I don't think I'd like to be here in summer in the "Wet".

As an aside, I remember picking up an American passenger and his family when I was driving a cab part time some years ago. He'd just flown into Brisbane from Darwin.

He complained that every time he went to Darwin (in the "Wet" season) they got clobbered by a cyclone. I could understand someone wanting to escape the bitter cold of northern USA around Christmas.

I didn't say anything but I remember thinking to myself "Then why keep going to Darwin around Christmas?"

Our Priest got rid of the fans we did have. He said they were 'distracting' with their humming sounds. I try to sit by the open door and hope there's a breeze.

 

[Susie~Q]

Wow, I am glad we are in Winter here in New Zealand, to be honest, I do NOT like summer, I don't handle heat well at all and believe me, it can get hot here as well. I am so happy when I see Autumn come and winter. Both those seasons are lovely here.

Heck the heat is more distracting than the sound of the fans.

It's so dreadful, and the summer hasn't even started. Good grief.

Just an aside, but we flew back home yesterday.

I knew there were US forces in Darwin, and probably at RAAF Tindall, about 300kms south of Darwin. Darwin Airport is shared by military and commercial interests, with the military side well established. There are military aircraft hangars off to one side.

We were in a coffee shop at the airport before departure and several military aircraft took off while we watched. I think they may have been F-22 Raptors, but I'm not sure. Some of them climbed pretty fast.

When we were in the aircraft waiting to get onto the runway, the captain said there would be a delay due to "military traffic". I think we watched 20 or so aircraft landing through our starboard porthole, craning our necks to watch as we were travelling the usual sardine economy class. We ended up waiting for about 30 minutes.

I suspect the fighters might have been American. As we took off we could also see a couple of what appeared to be V22 Osprey's waiting to take off themselves, with the rotors in the vertical position. I don't think the RAAF has them, so they were almost certainly US aircraft.

The miliary is well established at Darwin Airport, Northern Territory.

Adding on - there is a "Supercars" event in Darwin from the 17 to 19 June.

But they changed the rules regarding tyre pressures due to the high temperatures, and the fact that racing crew were trying to use the heat to get around the minimum tyre pressure requirements.

Supercars announces sweeping changes to tyre rules - NEWS

“When you see everyone baking the tyres out in the sun to get it to 17 psi, when they go cold they’re considerably lower than 17 psi,” Fitzsimons told Speedcafe.com in the wake of last year’s Darwin event.

It's hot in Darwin. Temperatures forecast for tomorrow, nineteen days into winter, are expected to be 33C maximum (91.4F) and 20C minimum (68F).

I don't think the locals know what cold weather is.

Look up in the sky next time you go out. Do you see any criss-cross "clouds"?

 

[Chrystal-J]

It's supposed to be in the 90's tomorrow. Another scorching day!

97 degrees here today!
