The weather hss been amazing, but it is time to pay the piper. I actually like the heat, but the farther it gets over 100, the more it tests my limits, and 108 is really fucking hot.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The saving grace is that 100s in the day still drops to 70s at night, and no humidity. Our first summer heat wave also marks the last mosquito we will see for the year.

But not good for my open air vehicles. I tease you cold weather folks, but the Sunchaser’s black plastic interior is not fun at 108, and the wind on the Vespa feels like a hair dryer.

I need to work on the pool, which is a mess from a storm (not supposed to happen) lasr week. But work is busy, and time is tighr.

Still, I would rather have our heat than live in the soul-sucking cold of Vermont again. Fuvk snow forever. I can drive to it in less than an hour, and get out when I have had enough

Was greeted with this at 7 tonight. Wasn’t actually 118, but 100 with the sun right on the front of the car. Convertibles are starting to disappear as summer has finally showed up. But just like you, I prefer this to having a cold winter. I’ve lived in Pittsburgh, Syracuse, and London and much prefer the heat to the climates of any of those places.

Ah, I don’t miss California heat at all. One day I went to Sonic after school for a Blast and my car said the outside temperature was 107. No thanks!

Last year it got pretty hot during the summer. Looks like it’ll be nice and decent this year.

Yes it has been a delightful summer here in the PNW. I’m sure we will get a few hot weeks.

It’s supposed to top triple-digits as well on the Mojave side in the coming days. I broke my no-water rule so I guess it’s time I start wearing sunblock.

Time to get ready for the 120 deg July days!

When I left Fresno on Monday, the weather was nice. Now, I’ll be coming back to hot ass weather on Saturday. And my A/C won’t be on, the house will be hot as heck, too.

Solo night-time drives with the top down at 70-80 degrees... Heaven on earth.

Yeah, 108 is pretty toasty. [looks at weather report and sees a high of 121 and a low of 90 on Tuesday] FUCK!

My ideal weather is “Louisiana swamp mid august.” I hate how the weather has been so far this summer in NJ, with only ills 10 days so far above 90.

Can confirm, driving a motorcycle in 100F+ just feels like being in front of a very large hair dryer even if the air is dry. It’s still better than 90F and 80% humidity though, at least your shirt isn’t soaked from sweat when you get to your destination.

What’s wrong with you? I don’t mind heat, but I hate humidity. I sweat like it’s going out of style in humid weather.

I would much rather have 57 than 108! Anything over 45-50 is fine by me
