Heat wave

[Anonymous]

Central Park nyc just hit 99 for the first time since 2012, so this is definitely not normal.

Had a power outage already in Rockville/North Bethesda today. Pepco fixed it in under an hour (probably because it knocked out 2 traffic lights), but ugh. It was already stifling by 8am.

My kid works at a bike summer camp and they spend their whole days biking throughout the city. Yes, they do a weekly pool day and sometimes will do field trips to the museums, zoo, etc., but they bike everywhere and some days are just bike days, no field trips. I don't know how any of them do it.

Myself, I stay inside a lot and I'm counting down the days until Fall.

When fall comes around, you will be complaining about rain and leaves, and counting the days until winter.
When winter comes around you will be complaining and counting.....etc. etc.

Learn to enjoy what you have now in the moment.

DP. I LOVE the leaves, and moderate rainfall (not like we've had the past 2 months). I love winter. If I can manage my allergies ok, then I love spring. You generally won't hear me complain the rest of the year.

There is nothing to be enjoyed about DC weather June-mid September. Nothing. The bugs, the humidity, the blazing sun, the heat, the stinky smells everywhere. It's foul.

Ditto!! LOVE all things about fall and winter here. Tolerate spring once my allergies are dealt with. Hate all things about summer.

I need some relief from this.

Imagine if that was to be the weather the rest of your life and you could not have AC anymore. Would you want to keep living? Food for thought. It's not that bad.

One can usually find something they like about the months they don't tolerate well.

At least it's not cold. Warmth = life. Cold = less to no life.

Eh, heat kills plenty of people every year and unfortunately is killing people right now.

What does normal mean? The planet is warming. These events will become more frequent.

Warmth = life is very simplistic.

I heard an interview with Phoenix's heat officer. I forget his exact title.

Of all weather events and natural disasters, heat, at least the kind seen in AZ and increasingly in other places, is most taxing to human society in terms of death and hospitalization and lost productivity. But because the civil infrastructure is not damaged, the media doesn't cover it like they do hurricanes and floods etc

For those thinking the north is safe from climate change...the city is 25 miles south of Canada...

Plattsburgh, New York: Tied its all-time record high of 101 degrees Monday. On the shores of Lake Champlain, they reached 100 degrees for only the fourth time in their almost 80-year period of record. It was the first time they did so in almost 50 years, since an Aug. 1-2, 1975 heat wave.

Speak for yourself. A cold, but sunny day is delightful. The crisp air, the low humidity - going for a long walk in it is heaven. I love it.

There is nothing I like about this time of year. Nothing. It's joyless.

Same, ditto.

Heat is miserable. Humid heat is the worst.

It’s times like this I’m glad I run cold. Though my office is still FREEZING.
