But it's a dry heat.Oh HELL no…time to go on vacation to somewhere more comfortable…like Alaska.
yeah. We lived in NorCal for 25 years. Those hot summers were also a "dry heat." MUCH easier to tolerate than the hot, humid stuff they get down south...but it's still way too fckn hot. (I've gotten acclimated to the PNW coast weather, and ANYTHING hotter than 75F is TOO HOT!)But it's a dry heat.
Ouch, do you guys not use AC up there? I never had AC when I lived in LA but summer days were usually like 76 there and sometimes we'd get in the 80s when the Santa Anna winds would blow in from the desert in September. But only time I have been to upstate NY was when I went to see Nolan Ryan, Robin Yount, and George Brett inducted into the HOF in July of 99.Well, for the first time our local schools are going to be releasing k-12 students by noon next week because of the heat, the schools apparently aren't equipped for triple-digit temperatures.
Upstate NY.
Yeah, but 'hot' up here is 90, not 105. Most spaces don't have more modern heat pumps that are oversized for the space like you see down south.Ouch, do you guys not use AC up there?

I would take dry heat over humid heat any day. Dry heat makes my body function better and feels soothing (maybe coz I have low muscle mass and the internal body heat is lacking).Those hot summers were also a "dry heat." MUCH easier to tolerate than the hot, humid stuff they get down south
Warnings
5:36 AM EDT Monday 17 June 2024
Heat Warning in effect for:
A prolonged heat event will begin today. Dangerously hot and humid conditions are expected through most of the week.
- London - Middlesex
Daytime highs through much of the week are expected to be 30 to 35 degrees Celsius with humidex values of 40 to 45. There will be little relief through the overnight as lows are expected to be 20 to 23 degrees Celsius with humidex values of 26 to 30. Temperatures and humidex values may be several degrees cooler near the shores of the Great Lakes.
Hot and humid air can also bring deteriorating air quality and can result in the Air Quality Health Index approaching the high risk category.
Extreme heat can affect everyone's health. The health risks are greater for older adults, infants and young children, pregnant people, people with physical and/or mental illnesses, and people with disabilities or mobility issues.
Never leave people, particularly children, or pets inside a parked vehicle.
Watch for the effects of heat illness: swelling, rash, cramps, fainting, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and the worsening of some health conditions.
Heat stroke is a medical emergency! Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately if you or someone you are caring for has a high body temperature and are confused, has stopped sweating or becomes unconscious.
While waiting for help, cool the person right away: move them to a cool place, apply cold water to large areas of the skin and fan the person as much as possible.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
I agree….dry heat is MUCH easier to tolerate.I would take dry heat over humid heat any day. Dry heat makes my body function better and feels soothing (maybe coz I have low muscle mass and the internal body heat is lacking).
Ick.It's currently 86 with a feels like temp of 90. Humidity 55% and a dewpoint of 67F.
It sounds like your AC isn't working at all if it's not getting below 85, that or your house leaks like a sieve.View attachment 101339
Next 4 days - heat wave in So. NH. Not a fan. LOL!
Anyway, AC doesn't keep on really hot days, so it'll be about 85 indoors.
The AC guy who installed it overcame my potestation that it was in the wrong place
by claiming his 20 yrs install experience said otherwise. Meh.
Well, we have a mini split with only 18K BTUs of cooling on the first floor, which isn't quite enough. We do get allot of sun in the afternoon. I need to put up partially reflective film on the sliding glass doors. I've been avoiding it since I had no idea how to get rid of the bubbles or starting over if it was misaligned. Finally saw a video showing that with a bottle sprayer with water an a small amount of dish soap, the film remains moveable for several hours and it's easy to squeegee out the bubbles. I just need to get my *ss in gear and get it done.It sounds like your AC isn't working at all if it's not getting below 85, that or your house leaks like a sieve.
