You’re all goners. The people in the desert SW have already gone up in flames. Just patiently wait for death. |
I can't deal with this bs. |
Thank you for appreciating me. |

No, it's not normal for spring. It's still spring until Thursday. Stupid teachers were announcing it was summer after Memorial Day and it's still spring. |
The sun angle will be at it’s annual zenith for the northern hemisphere on Friday/Saturday - exactly corresponding to the highest predicted temps. Through July and August, the sun angle will gradually decline, mimicking the sun angles from May and April. And there’s plenty of hot weather in those “summer” months with a sun angle that is the same as mid-spring. I mean, seriously, didn’t anyone do some critical thinking during junior high earth science class? All this stuff is pretty clear if you apply your brain to it. |
June 1st is the start of meteorlogical summer. |
You spelled it wrong. They didn't teach that concept in meteorology grad school. We used the astronomical seasons. The calendar does not use June 1 as the start of summer. |
That video is hilarious!! ![]() |
Our A/C is an old freon system. We're babying it. Aside from our blinds, which we angle against the sun, I put up window film that reflects light and heat. I hope it will reduce our dependence on A/C just enough to eek a few more years out of it. |
You guys know we can just sit in the AC right? We stocked up on library books and easy dinners that don’t need the oven. We are getting some pool time in now before the heat arrives, will water the lawn after the sun sets. I made my teen choose an indoor summer job.
It’s all good. |
Yes! Just stay inside and blast the AC! Next year this will happen in May and last through October. Then it will be normal April through November. Until we just melt into the sun. No worries for people who have to work outside- farmers providing your food, construction workers, etc. Eff them, right? Just double down on the old AC. And read those library books! It's all good. |
What do you propose we do? |
I don’t like heat some.
