I'm frickin tired of this July-uary weather. Portland is supposed to be reliably 80s-90s in July. The weather-tards say 80s by Saturday, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Agreed...although as pathetic is these lower 60s days have been, Seattle typically only gets to mid-upper 70s in July as it is. By my calculations we have the coldest summers in the continental US.

Thanks to your "July-uary weather," we've been enjoying a nice cool spell with highs in the low-to-mid 80's. Looks like that's over for us...Feel free to continue sending the cooler weather my way...I definitely appreciate it.

To someone that has lived in texas for the past 15 years, that almost sounds ridiculous that someone could hate a summer that consists of 60s and 70s. 😱

Oh trust me, the Seattle summer might sound enjoyable when you're mired in a heat wave, but it sucks. 50 degrees at night in July? I'm standing outside right now at 4:30pm without a jacket and its rather uncomfortable. This is not summer.

Fair enough. Canberra is a shithole, and full of politicians.

Where else are you going after Sydney?

True haha. Thinking about going to Darwin and Alice Springs next, since the Darwin Festival is in mid-August. Really want to see part of Kakadu National Park. It's the dry season so the weather should be good.

Then I might come back to Sydney and head up the east coast with a friend.

Going to get it sorted out in the next week or so. Any recommendations?

By comparison to the rest of the country, (except maybe San Francisco) Seattle (and Portland) never has a real summer. You rarely get "heat waves" that reach 100...nor winters that get below zero.
I've never lived in Seattle itself, but did spend almost a year in the (aroma) Tacoma area many years ago...but spent quite a bit of time working in/around Seattle.

We've considered moving to that part of the country to get out of the damned California heat. Being originally from Spokane, it would be ALMOST like moving back "home."

Anywhere is good mate, I was just curious. I'm not a big fan of the Gold Coast but I know people that love it. Melbourne is great but the weather is shit. N.T. should be nice.

I'm over on the west, so I can't give any really recommendations about the east.

Sweet. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Will probably wait for slightly warmer weather before going to Melbourne haha.

107 degrees @ 6:30 P.M. in Phoenix AZ.

We don't even get a heat advisory for this weather.

Because it's such a common occurrence in Arizona. Not to mention you are all probably a bit smarter about it then most people here in Michigan. I saw people out running and biking today at 3pm when it was ~107 degrees here with a heat index of 120+

As an ER nurse I see that as basically a darwin award. STUPID STUPID STUPID. Even worse was they both had no hat or head cover nor did they have a water bottle or gatorade.

Funny, I just ran 2 miles today and 1.5 miles yesterday during the hottest part of the day. I dont bring a water bottle or gatorade with me either.

Guess i'm just used to it :shrug:
 
Supposed to be 36* thursday, 46 with the humidex here. That's got to be close to the hottest I've ever seen it here, and pretty close to the record high.

Well, yea. You do get used to it. Truthfully 2 miles isn't much for a run, and assuming you do it in 14-20 minutes, then your exposure to the heat is limited.

I try to keep my exercise in the early morning (6 am) or late evening (8pm-9pm) during the summer though... taking a run at 3pm in the afternoon always seemed a bit foolish to me.
 
85°F here in Wayne, NJ with 52% humidity, with a feel like of 93°F
Friday it is supposed to hit 97°F with a feel like of 112°F
Saturday it is supposed to hit 97°F with a feel like of 103°F

I will be in as much as possible.

I do tend to shorten my runs during the summer. It is just miserable outside for 3 months. Once it gets cooler here in phoenix its back to the 5 - 8 mile runs!
