Thread: Heat Wave

So. The northeast is getting its first real heatwave, temps in the low 90's with it feeling like the low 100's. I see SoCal is in the low 90's as well. Tips on how you're beating the heat?

I've stopped thinking of these as heat waves anymore. 29 in April, no, but it doesn't seem weird to have temperatures in the low to mid-thirties all through the summer anymore. The obvious solution is to stay in an air-conditioned place (I was working at a school yesterday when it was 34 - fun. Never doing that again), but really... just wear light clothes, keep water with you, tie up long hair... It really isn't that bad. People live through worse every day in other parts of the world, as I've been told. :/

I wish I knew that earlier. Today, to go to my town's carnival, I biked 6 miles back and forth, and now I'm crispy burnt and a little delusional.

I dealt with it by jumping in a cold shower.

I'm just chillin' in my room. (: No matter how hot it is outside, it always seems to stay rather good temperature in my room. Without an AC.

^woot, cali weather. \o/

Perfect weather over here! (12:28p Jun 07 0 Temperature: 71.1 F / 21.7 C () Humidity: 43% Wind: WNW at 4.0 mph / 6.4 km/h Conditions: Partly Cloudy

Once it gets really hot, I'll probably be at the pool most of the time.

The heat sucks... I'm basically living in a microwave. Best way to beat it is ice cream.

well,we had also some very hot days,around 30°C/86 F - but now there are crazy storms (and it´s still hot^^)
and I gotta/had to play tennis in that heat too.... xD

I just bought a new fan,it seems to work.

Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the South.

This is all child's, play, we made a 58*C 136F here. This time of year the weather changes all the time. Not too far ago, I went to open the door for someone outside, and it was so FRIGGING HOT. I was almost dizzy. Later that evening it turned cold and windy.
