Warming up...

AzPaul · 18 June 2016, 11:56 PM

We can't compete with the high temps in the Phoenix area (a contest, by the way, we're always happy to lose) but it's gonna be warm here in Tucson this week.
Even starting my bike rides at 4:00 am, I'll still be losing water a lot faster than I'd like.

The car never cools down unless your on the highway for an hour, forget about doing 30 minute driving chores for the wife, you sweat the whole time even when the car has stayed in the garage. There's no breeze to speak of and if there is it's like a convection oven.

Even the little bug critters stay under a rock until the sun goes down

Guess it's time to move up North for you . . .

Finally it's 3 or 4 months hot out here

But heaving winters at 80 to 90 degrees - I love it !

I had enough bad weather in the last 40+ years

So now it's Sunny time 😉

I live in San Diego near the beach so do not suffer the heat a lot of you are, I rarely run my central AC, but it DOES get hot here in the summer. I came up with a resolution that keeps my whole place a bit cooler, especially at night. The pic below is the access to my attic. I replaced the "door" (basically a plank of wood) with a screen. Then I put in a high-end attic fan which vents to the outside, and wired it a regular switch in my bedroom. I leave a window open, and at night, the fan sucks the hot air out, and the cool(er) air in to my whole condo. It works great, doesn't use as much energy as AC, and let's me sleep like a baby

Highly recommend this for anyone that can do this, it really works!

Paul, we had a whole house fan in our house as a kid. Works like a champ!

Growing up in South Louisiana we would use 'florida water' to cool down during baseball/football/soccer practice. It was very refreshing and worked well.
I never knew the exact ratio my dad would use, but it is essentially Florida water cologne mixed with ice and water in an igloo cooler. Dip that rag in there and put on your face and wowzer its cold!!

We are gonna catch a break out here, weather was downgraded from 120's to 118/119

I guess you'll be needing a light jacket then.

GradyPhilpott · 19 June 2016, 02:51 AM

It's supposed to be pretty mild here in Albuquerque.

This is how South Florida seems to be. The humidity here is absolutely oppressive. Its terrible. You sweat just walking to your car from the front door.

Thank God for AC

94 degrees and 92 percent humidity here in New Orleans area at 5:30 pm

Our Arizona friends will most likely win this thread, but where are you and what are your high temps?

Pretty bad over here in Covington as well LOL.

Anyway it's cooler today that expected

So pooltime and a few Tecate!

Temperature 100° Feels like 94° Relative Humidity 5% Dew Point 16.7°

I'm inside anyway, so I'm good.

Kingair · 20 June 2016, 03:02 PM

Hit 121 today !

But tomorrow we should be getting 125 or close to

We'll see - anyway I got water in my pool and still have a stack of Tecate !

seand442 · 20 June 2016, 03:53 PM

I don't care how long you've lived in the desert, this is ridiculous. The lowest daytime temp I've seen forecast in the next 9 days is 111.

I feel your pain. That's a typical summer here, except the ocean is a mile away, it's humid, and we get a lot of blowing dust. It sucks when the temperature is 112 but feels like 125
