This is beyond my pasty English ability to bear.

Some nice people wanted to sell me a t-shirt.

Typical English wussy. If it’s 35, put on a JACKET .

It’s raining where I live so it’s actually relatively cool.

oh, well that was very nice of them to offer it to you. No one ever asks me to buy their t-shirts..

Honestly, I reckon that, if it were to rain here, it’d just be the hot, annoying kind that makes it worse.

Does it count if I fill the lining with ice first?

I mean thats warm, but the bad part is humidity. That’ll make it feel much worse

I just wanted to make a badly informed American Fahrenheit joke!

But yes, a vest/jacket with ice packs in it would be a treat I’d imagine.

I am all too familiar with the hot, not cooling rain that only succeeds in making the air even more humid.

I’d kill for 35 right now. It’s like 90 or so outside.

I made an ill-informed response, apparently. Brain’s not thinking good cuz hot.

I get it Britain, you like to use imperial and metric units, but please use the best units from each system, not the worst.

35...I’m assuming that’s *C? *shrug* that’s a typical summer day here in Houston.

This is why god saw fit to bless us with air conditioning and we’ve seen it go up to the low 40’s in August.....with what felt like 100% humidity to go with it.....we don’t go outside much in August.

I’m okay on most Imperial measurements, but Fahrenheit and yards have always been completely alien to me.

I am assuming that 95F is a bit unusual there?

Regrettably, 35 here is 95 in American. *sweats profusely*

Anything over 30C is pretty much apocalyptic here.

If you’re this put out by heat and humidity, you might not want to ever attend Dragon*Con in the US. Conditions are usually over 30C and quite humid outdoors.

It was 35 here with 80% humidity two days ago, you’ll get through it. Lots of Shandy of OJ and you’ll be golden

That would really suck if you didn’t have AC and I know that is common there, so my condolences

KirkyV > CKeffer 07/01/2015 at 11:40

That’s part of our problem—since this barely ever happens, it’s almost unheard of for homes to have air con. And, thanks to some Gallic engineering brilliance, my car doesn’t have it either.

If you think of it in Kelvin it’s only 308 degrees K. Now it doesn’t sound so bad eh?

I am so sorry to hear that.....and a car that isn’t a stripped out race car not having ac is mind boggeling to me. I suggest clearing out some room in the fridge and chilling in there for a while.

To acquire shandy and OJ, I’d have to actually leave the house, and I feel like I’ll melt the moment I step into open sunlight. The desperation’s getting there, though.

Being brown skinned and being stuck in a room with the radiator jammed on full for way too many years has made me immune to the heat but seriously I fucking hate the humidity. I feel like I can pluck balls of water out of the air. I’m gonna go sit in a park for a bit or at least find a less built up area.

Even with unlined jacket and mostly indoors, my sixth-Doctor outfit was quite warm.

It’s actually not too far off, if you ignore the power shortage of my budget engine option. It only weighs 750-ish kg, and the model had a rather successful rally career. Unfortunately, no RHD version had AC, because they couldn’t be arsed to re-engineer the engine bay to fit the pump in around the steering column.

Do most homes have air conditioning? I know parts of the US that don’t get very hot in summer, most homes do not have it.

Oh, yeah, that’s much better.

Well its all about negative connotation, once you go out and melt for a few minutes and acquire said refreshing beverages you’ll enjoy the shade and comfort of your home... plus some beverages. :)

They do not. And, though this isn’t exactly common these days, neither does my car.

I actually kinda wish I was at work right now, just for the AC.

My 11th Doctor outfit was similarly uncomfortable at the 50th Anniversary event I went to. Thankfully, it wasn’t too warm a night.

My mum always used to have the heating on way too high, but it’s done fuck all for my heat-resistance.

I had thought to go to the beach, maybe catch up on some reading... But I’ve been robbed of the energy to so much as get out of my PJs.

back home in Mexico AC is an add-on to any model of a car. So is power steering

I’d kill for a beach. Well not one connected to an open sewer.

Seriously look at the colour of the water!

KirkyV > djmt1 07/01/2015 at 12:04

In a sense, the entire ocean is an open sewer, but yah. The funny thing about growing up next to the sea is that you basically never make the time to go to the beach.

Air conditioning in your house is unheard of in Europe unless you live on the Mediterranean.

Plenty of cars without it too.

Of course you don’t say degrees Kelvin. Just Kelvin.

O.o I haven’t seen power steering as optional in about 20 years (barring a few “track special” type cars), same with AC

It’s funny the things we consider as standard here in the US in terms of equipment. Even stuff like ABS. Did you know some newer model Jettas (or called the Borat in Mexico, may be the Passat, I don’t recall) were sold without ABS standard? It’s insane!

It’s the climate. When you ‘need’ AC for maybe a day or two in an average year , most homes won’t have it. Quite logical really. Especially since homes (at least in Germany and the Netherlands) tend to be well isolated, so they won’t heat up that quickly during summer.

I know how it feels. I actually had a headache the full day yesterday because of the wheather, despite drinking like a madman. Didn’t get any work done.

Got off to a better start today?

Still going strong ... will we make the 40°C?

Blech ... my computer starts misbehaving already, as indoor temperatures (no AC indeed) keep climbing, too, due to this being the 4th hot day.
