    33 degrees in my town today. And it's as close as hell.
    What is this, I thought this was England?

    It's absolutely bloody mafting in our office. All the windows are open and every fan we own is on full blast, but it's making about as much difference as a Sven Goran Eriksson substitution.

    I love summer, love the sun and hot weather (girls in skimpy clothing, yum), but cannot hack humidity.

    I understand you completely. I cannot stand temperature over 25 degrees Celsius, be it dry or humid.

    I was quite surprised when temperatures nearly reached the 30's in Dublin... The thing is that your buildings are mostly designed to keep the warmth in. Also, when it gets a little too warm your milky white skin can't take it. :p

    Ach, you should have been born in the South of Spain, "enjoying" maximum temperatures of over 40 degrees Celsius in the middle of August, or near 50 in Madrid due to all the concrete and lack of breeze and parks. That's why we have siestas, it's too bloody hot to do any work at midday!


    (It's the national excuse, and I stick to it.)

    Yeah, summer in England can be unbearable, strangely enough. Although the winter is not too much fun either.

    It's about 7 degrees here this morning. No frost this week, but you still need a coat if you're out early.

    Ive been enjoying the recent heatwave, been playing football for about 4-5 hours every night, im very sunburnt though :( . As for the humidity i dont mind it so much as its just an excuse to wear as least clothing as possible but it makes it hard to sleep at times with it being hard to get comfortable, especially with this damn sunburn.

    It's been around 20-27 Celsius in Newfoundland the last week or so.

    When these poor dopes complain about how hot it is, I just shake my head and evily wish them to Iowa in July. :evil: 90-100 Fareheit with 90% humidity; they'd melt! I miss the heat. It kept my feet warm and snuggly for the summer.

    I like 24C, but not at midnight like the coming one. This night is gonna be hot, sleepless and sweaty, in a bad way.
    I am more addapted to cold, I guess. I like warm days, sure, but this is too much for me.

    Everybody is always complaining about the weather; either it's too cold or too warm. I can handle the heat much better than the cold weather. It would have been nicer if it was like five degrees cooler, but I rather have 30 degrees than 10.

    The downside of course is that it's 28 degrees in my bedroom, and I find myself posting on a message in the middle in the night, but I can life with that.

    You *do* know we're in the 21th century right? :shake:
