Walsingham Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Does anyone know how long we can expect this hot spell to last? I just checked the BBC and they reckon at least five more days at 25 degrees plus.

Gorgon Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Since when is 25 degrees hot? When you can't remember the last time you didn't bring your jacket. That is to say 90% of the year. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Gorth Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 I just checked the BBC and they reckon at least five more days at 25 degrees plus. Sorry Wals... 25 degrees is when people here start considering a t-shirt That reminds me, I promised the family back home to take pictures from a bus stop some day. They laughed when I told them that at 15 degrees, the locals will wear mitts, scarves and beanies and do a little jogging on the spot trying to keep warm when waiting for the bus “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) 25? Are you serious? You know a heat wave in Australia is basically twice that, right? @Gorth: 15 is when us Canadians man up and start wearing t-shirts. Edited June 27, 2010 by WILL THE ALMIGHTY "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Walsingham Posted June 27, 2010 Author Posted June 27, 2010 I'm an energetic fat man right now, and English. So for me 25 is bloody melty. I just want to now if I should buy a new wardrobe.

LadyCrimson Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 While I don't think it's "bloody melty" until at least 32C or so, I am the sort who wears flip flops, shorts and tank tops (or nothing...) when it's 20-22C (70ish F) so I can sympathize not liking heat. I do like the upper 70's F when outside w/a light breeze/in the shade etc but can't stand it being that temp inside the house. I remember a few days ago, however, some news headlines talking about your heat wave, complete with photos of ppl 'cooling' off by sitting with feet in fountains and under sprinklers, and it was maybe 74F...which made me chuckle. Even I wouldn't find that so hot I'd need to cool off in that fashion. heh “Things are as they are.

theslug Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 It's 105 degrees outside in this forsaken desert of hell. I'm angry and sweaty. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
Enoch Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 We had our office picnic on Wednesday. I was one of two volunteers who ran the grill. That meant over 2 hours in front of hot coals, in direct midday sunlight, in about 95 F (35 C) temperatures. I drank about 3 beers, 2 12-oz. waters, and 1 can of soda, and I didn't go to the bathroom once. And the marinaded mushrooms I brought were really good.

GreasyDogMeat Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) It's 105 degrees outside in this forsaken desert of hell. I'm angry and sweaty. Its been 105-110 (42-43 degrees Celsius) in Tucson & Phoenix. The airconditioner in my car decided to crap out so I'm in hell anytime I drive. I heard in Phoenix 20 years ago this day it was 122.

Those set points are: 32 F = 0 C 50 F = 10 C 61 F = 16 C 82 F = 28 C (those last 2 are approximate, but close enough for the palindromic mnemonic to work for quick-and-dirty calculations) I also know the point where the 2 scales are equal (-40), but, thankfully, I never really have to deal with measurements in that range.

Monte Carlo Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 It's too hot. I like the rain. I could never live.... :: shudders :: abroad. Unless it was Siberia or maybe Finland.
Humodour Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Does anyone know how long we can expect this hot spell to last? I just checked the BBC and they reckon at least five more days at 25 degrees plus. I've been skiing in Queenstown for the past few days. 2.2km above sea level, white as far as the eye can see, clear sky with the sun beaming down and no windchill... brilliant!
Kaftan Barlast Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 As a Swede born with ice in my veins, 25C is very hot indeed. The Swedish brain will actually stop working at anything above 23,9C as has been proven by one of our institutes. Swedish man trying to work at a scorching 24C DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture.

Monte Carlo Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 ^ Although, to be fair, he's of viking stock so is hard enough to wear a knitted woollen tank-top during a heat-wave.

Monte Carlo Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 That would explain the extreme surprise they achieved during the raids on the East Anglian coastline. "Artur, what is that dragon-headed ship out yonder?" "'Tis the end of the tax year, fear not."
