LT42

Hursty just did a check of Vancouver weather and they’re pushing highs of 26. Where is it hitting 49?

LT42 the interior of bc (just west of the rockies) gets really hot every summer. their weather can be completely different from vancouver, given the 2-300 km distance between.

Only an hour or so inland from Vancouver. Saw Lytton mentioned on BBC news this morning. Only getting down to 36C overnight!

LT42

vinnyt77 unbearable. Hottest I ever experienced was 46, people squeezing for shelter under trees like goats. The headache I had will leave a lasting memory, no amount of water helped.

LT42 48C for me in Tunisia when I was a kid. Didn’t really notice it to be honest, but utterly refused to have any sunscreen put on me / keep hydrated, and ended up in bed/running to the toilet with the shits for 3 days with sunstroke.

That was a dry heat at least. Temp hit 43C in Melbourne on Christmas Day in 2016, and was humid as well. Utterly disgusting weather. Only had to THINK about moving around to be covered in a solid sheen of sweat…

Old-Dutch Go full scientific and leave a boiling kettle in there. Make sure you’ve got a stopwatch.

Smallman1 I laughed after skimming his war and peace to then see Homegrove’s solitary ‘wood’ post.

BlainSA I lolled at the juxtaposition too.

For the record I found Hugo’s post quite interesting.

LT42 I thought the part about people not overheating because of this thing called sweat was a real eye opener.

Lol, genuine insight from the man like Hugo.

Thunder and lightening here, have thrown on some 90s trance to make best use of the atmosphere.

hugopal Honestly, Saltwater - Chicane, sounded boss building up with that going on in the background.

Amps there’s no shame in Chicane - Saltwater, an absolute monster of a tune; long overdue a revival.

Hursty

Still hot in Finland HG?

Homegrove

Yeah. And will remain so according to the 10 day weather report. I’m back at work enjoying the AC. Biking to work at 6 AM wearing shorts and a T-shirt was the first time I didn’t feel hot outdoors. It was 18 c + at that time.

Hursty

Homegrove How unusual is this prolonged spell of heat in Finland?

Homegrove

Very. Happens quite often in July, but not in May and June.

jonattonyeah

Death Valley to hit 130/54 tomorrow. Yosemite Valley to hit 115/46.

That’s just bonkers. Brutal, brutal heat.

Those of us on the coast avoid the worst of it, thankfully, given the cold Pacific waters. But when that shifts in a month or so….god damn this could make for a terrible September and October. Our housing isn’t built for extreme weather. It’s build for a temperate climate. Which we used to have. Shoot me in the head already.

jonattonyeah Death Valley to hit 130/54 tomorrow. Yosemite Valley to hit 115/46

That’s just vicious. I couldn’t imagine working in that heat especially outside. Have you got high humidity also.

hugopal

Dubman death valley humidity is basically always below 10% when it exceeds 50C, and it’s scheduled the same for this week as well.
