Meanwhile it’s 69 degrees in San Francisco right now.
(I’m stuck in New York where “87 feels like 95”.)
Same here… I work in a factory in NY and it’s usually like 2-5° hotter in the factory than outside… With this humidity it’s absolutely atrocious working conditions.
Thanks to the SCOTUS we now have to rely on them to clarify laws like the law in NY that says “all factories must maintain reasonable temperature and humidity.”
…that’s it. There’s no definition to “reasonable” in that law. It’s exactly the kind of situation they dumped Chevron Deference for. Now they get to protect corporations even more…
Fuck you too.

Nice
Oh fall as in the season and not destruction of the modern human civilization
Currently over 110. It’s been an interesting year.
Always hate it When Day Breaks.
As a scandinavian, this is me waiting to go home every time I visit the Houston office.
I’m surprised you haven’t spontaneously combusted
I was pretty close once. I arrived as literally the whitest guy in the entire state. I was red as a lobster by the time I left.
Me in Houston right now as CenterPoint Energy fails to restore our power. 1.3 million people still without power and it’s like 95 and feels like 105.

Run a generator? I mean, I assume that they’re gonna have it back in a few days at most.
- It’s been 3 days and they are staying it will be “several more days”
- I don’t have a generator.
- I don’t have money for a generator.
- There are no generators to buy, as they have already been bought.
- Even if I had one, it’s pretty hard to find any gas.
- Fuck you. It’s 105 out with heat advisories and 1.2 million people still don’t have power.
I feel so sorry for the people who have to grow up in Texas.
I did. It hasn’t been great! Republican control for 30 years and I’m 31. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
You guys have it bad. I know PGE likes to make us pay for every cent but at least it’s mostly stable. GL!
What’s Abbot doing about it?
I think I read he landed in Asia for a vacation or something just the other day. So typical Republican compassion: none.
Don’t worry, soon the fall will to have scorching temperatures
Gotta say I love Wisconsin in the summer. 64 right now, high of 80 today.
Winters are long and grey tho. But on the other hand, the only natural disasters we see are tornadoes.
You should try the pacific northwest. It gets up into the 90s a few days per year. Not really any natural disasters. Floods I suppose, but as long as you don’t buy a house in a flood plain (why do people build there?) you’ll be fine. No snow, if that’s your thing. Just a lot of rain in the fall/spring/winter.
I’m in Spokane currently and really like the climate, though I’m a weirdo who likes overcoming extreme cold and heat (cold more than heat), and I love the snow, driving in it included. I could honestly take colder and longer winters.
Not really any natural disasters.
We now have smoke season in the PNW. It gets really bad, and last for like a week or 2. I think since like 2018 we have been getting them. Then again, I live in Seattle, and Spokane is a lot further from the mountains.
In Spokane smoke season is just as bad if not worse, it’s a lot dryer here. I have family in the PNW so I visit frequently, and grew up there, so I’m aware of both climates and forest fire season. I’m not sure how mountains are relevant, but in Spokane we’re very close to large forests such as the Colville National Forest, and the Idaho Panhandle National Forest, in addition to forests further north, not to mention brush fires. One last year (called the Gray Fire) burnt down 259 structures and 10,085 acres, according to the fire’s Wikipedia page.
Tl;dr: I’m very aware of fire season, but I generally consider it a sad and unfortunate inconvenience, not a common natural disaster, though in instances like the Gray Fire, it does happen.
Same in Ohio.
To be honest, I find temperatures in the 80s to be perfectly fine. It’s thoe 2-3 weeks of 90+ that suck
And floods, this year! I was just visiting Oshkosh, the rain is intense.
Sounds like Norway, except the tornadoes
Except in England, where it is still largely grey and miserable. We are still patiently waiting for summer.
I’ll pray for you guys to get the sweet 40°C for a few days. The time for it is soon. Like last year.
I’m not in England, but same. As I’m still waiting for the summer, I feel you.
I enjoy finally having some proper summer days. Certainly not longing for fall.
I’m in the Netherlands. We’ve had like three days of summer so far. Mostly rain. I’m not complaining though. It’s nice change from previous years of serial heat waves. There’s still time for the heat waves though, so we’ll see how this year will go into the books.
Crying in the Swedish rain and 15 degrees Celsius
please can we swap? please, it’s been 36C outside for the past two weeks (with maybe a day or two of 24C) in Poland. Leaving the house is just not a good idea survival wise, my flat can barely cool down at night to sleep, i’d kill for 15C and rain right now
There’s been a lot of sun so far this summer though. At least up north. Good to have a little rain to stave off the forest fires. 😌👌💧
In Gothenburgian rain, I envy you.
Well the rain reached us too yesterday so… 😅 Going to Gothenburg later this month!
You’re on the wrong northern hemisphere continent. Europe has been mild AF
Yeah it’s been nice in Northern Europe, NGL. No major heat waves so far. Good old 2000’s summer.
Enjoy it while you can, it’s only going to get hotter in the years to come.
Define MFW.
My face when you don’t know what MFW stands for and instead of looking it up asked strangers on lemmy:
