@wide-lite 1000 - Ohio had 93°F, while my neck of the woods had a high of 102°. Funnily enough, my area didn't even get an "excessive heat warning"- multiple counties a tad westward (York) got warnings that temps could get up to 115°!  :poof: :o

Also, even though the temperature physically did not go higher than 102°, the "feels like" index was at a 109°!  @-@ @-@

Sometimes it just takes time and concerted effort to learn something new. Don't give up before you get there.

Summer is most certainly my least favorite season. I don’t do any sports, and I hate literally anything at all that makes me sweat, even just a little bit.

Holy crud it is hot out now. And my school is having graduation this week, outside of course…  >:(

I’m a winter person 🥶, I do like summer but summer my way!, a couple of weeks ago it was hot here, 28 degrees, but it was fully cloud covered as with a strong breeze, that was my perfect summer’s day 🥳
Warm enough to be outside in a T-shirt, a strong refreshing breeze and absolutely no direct sun burning down on you!
If every summer could be like this each day I’d be happy!
But I think the air is just fresher and healthier in winter, and darker nights means more lights 👍

Kind of. I live in perpetual summer, our weather is basically "summer - summer pro plus", that's it. So I don't know if I'd dislike cold or winter more.
I mean it's almost July and it's still 37C close to dusk. Nights are hot too, I live in an area with what I call the pressure cooker weather, it's sort of the bottom of a wide valley surrounded by rainforest hills, so heat has nowhere to go, there's no wind so it simply recirculates like in a pressure cooker, nights below 30C are rare so it's technically always hot and ~90% humidity, looks like steam during the day but it's "clouds" forming at surface level, the city is mostly covered in smog and industrial chemicals, it smells terrible and is harmful, so much it burns your throat or lungs if you inhale too much, wearing a simple face mask helps a bit but it can't filter the stench... if I had to describe I'd say it's a mixture of burnt diesel, pure bleach and the smell angle grinder discs leave behind when you cut through metal pipes. The only animals living in the city are rats, everything else just died or left, even pigeons, they can only be seen downtown a bit far from the industrial areas.


I got used to it, not that I can do something about it, like, I can't cool the planet. No AC either, it's insanely expensive to both get the equipment and run it, not like in the US that houses already come with central HVAC by default.

We got mesh screens on all windows to prevent mosquitoes and other bugs from entering, they replace the standard glass panels, and metal roller blinds in case of rain or storms.

It even affects lighting, this happens: :eoled:
Low quality LEDs in my country run insanely hot, add a 40C ambient temp on top of that and they simply crack in half or melt, seen both, or straight up dim to candle intensity or shut off due to brownouts, our house is almost at the far end of a rural line so we always get hit by brownouts, one of the reasons we still use incandescents, the most used circuits are on relay AVRs but they still dim if the sag is too pronounced, tx can only increase voltage by 20%, it's meant for a 200V low input so it can boost it back to 240, sometimes it drops to ~160, good thing is lamps last for way more than their rated hours.

Summer is the best season where I live...it stays mostly in the 80°s (upper 20's C), and occasionally goes above 90°, and remains mostly dry. ;D

It’s hit 100F two days in a row for me this week. Even walking out in the morning, the air feels like hot soup  :P I shower more often and have to do more laundry because of sweating so much and going through more clothes.

It’s so hot my central A/C cannot keep up. My bonus room/home office/man cave is uninhabitable right now because the it’s 84F inside. I finally made the executive decision to shut off the air in the bonus room, so it’s not running constantly and wasting energy and costing money. I have a window box in the other room that makes it feel amazing! Not even houses in this region can keep up with this nasty heat wave.

It was 96.8F on Monday here, a bit high for June but it does get this hot during a heat wave in the summer here. As much as it get hot, I do prefer it over winter. Today is a nice break from the heat though, my AC was having trouble keeping up on Monday.

The current summers we have here in Israel are very hot. Low humidity during the day, and very high humidity at evening and night. Today the peak temperature will be 32*C at Kiryat Ata.
