Hot, humid in Boston, my eyes are red and burning, hit the inhaler once already. Please, Fall, get here ...
Weird up until like 10 days ago we really didn't have any hot spells. (New Haven CT)
In fact I only broke down and installed my AC this past Tuesday I think? Pretty sure its the first time in my adult-life I made it through June without it, at least for sleeping.
Yeah intense heat sucks. Hope you have A/C! I had trouble justifying it myself but ended up caving a few years back. Worth it. This month's hydro bill is going to hurt though... I'm on equal billing so won't really see it immediately though.
It's cooled off a bit today. 17C instead of 30+.
I don't know how people live in places that get up to 40. That's just insanity.
You missed the safety video about water?I think I am melting..
We turn on the A/C and stay inside.
Great if you have that option, but imagine construction workers etc. I don't envy those guys at all. Especially if their work requires them to wear pants or other covering for health and safety reasons.

Waaahhhhh. When I was on the east coast in 1968 the temp and humidity would have a race to see which could get to 100 before noon.
lol, since the age thread, most will get that.You missed the safety video about water?
Actually 100f anywhere on the east coast is pretty rare unless you're in Florida
We've been at 94F here in CT all week, and it's not even August
The worst by far is the poor slobs laying asphalt in this heat .... good lord!

To be honest, it's anyone that has to work outdoors. Landscaping, construction, asphalt, farmers, etc...The worst by far is the poor slobs laying asphalt in this heat .... good lord!

FTS, I can't stand intense heat rather be inside in A/C. Keep the outdoor work for fall/spring or even winter. Hydration does not do anything about the constant sweating and feeling nasty. Really if it was not for sweating the heat would not be that bad. It's the sweating that makes it so miserable.
We're getting a break now from the heat wave. Still warm in my house though. I should have opened the windows before heading for my night shift. I'm at work now.

Actually one thing I want to eventually do is add an economizer to my hvac. Would be a great time to run it right now. Basically an intake with an insulated damper that bypasses the rest of the house returns, then an exhaust hatch that opens up in the ceiling. In that mode it would just run the blower to suck outside air in and exhaust hot air out.
That's my plan.Today feels like another scorcher already...hiding in the house
