Sorry--that's 33° C and climbing.

I don't mind the heat, but the humidity! Sunday was a beautiful, 96° day - I got a lot of yardwork done, etc. But Saturday sucked - the same temperature, but overcast. It wasn't raining, but the humidity was so high that water just sort of condensed out of the air. Ugh, terrible weather.

When people complain about the weather, I think they're just trying to make conversation. I usually respond with something like, "Oh, in a few months we'll be freezing cold and wishing for days like this!" or "Oh yes, it is very hot. Hopefully I can make it to the beach this weekend!"

No, it isn't just you, I'm really enjoying it, and it's been over 100 here the past few days. But I feel vital & fit & you know, I'll say it, almost a demigod out standing strong in the heat. I don't have air conditioning here at the office and don't use it at home. And besides soaking up the sun, swimming in the river, and cycling, I've been almost insanely productive, having a run of creativity, good ideas and fun with work that I don't remember the equal of since about 12 years ago.

All in all, it's feeling very much like I remember summers felt when I was a kid, and good healthy sweat was no small part of that feeling.

Gah. I walk to (and from) work, about a half hour each way, and I hate hate hate this heat. The cold I can stand--I can always add a layer. But the heat leaves me dripping with sweat, which isn't exactly professional looking. And it's just freaking starting.

Again, gah.

In general I don't mind the heat too much, but right now I'm discovering the joys of swollen pregnant ankles associated with lots of walking in the mid-90s temps. Sigh.

mrmoonpie: it's amazing how we're all wired differently!! I find the cold intolerable--even if I put on 5 layers, the fact that one finger, or cheek or ear, is exposed will make my entire body freezing and the layers won't help. On the other hand, the heat feels great as mentioned, I feel exactly as Wolfdog does (yay! Not the only one!), and every December seriously consider moving to Mississippi. It takes all kinds to make an interesting world!

I also feel like a Viking when I'm mushing across the ice, so maybe it isn't the weather so much as I'm just fuckin full of myself.

I love the heat, as long as I don't try to move too quickly. Just kind of amble along, drink lots of fluids and enjoy the languor.

I generally don't. Mind the heat. I hear you, in the Winter, I just can't get warm, layers be damned.

But this. . .this is crazy right now. I'm not in panic mode yet, because March to May was statistically quite cool. But BAM - June and 100 degrees? I can take 90's. However, to look at a whole summer of this is madness.

Also, again, Summer Nights provide The Best Weather Ever. I'm never too hot when the sun goes down.

I have lived in a hot and humid climate my entire life. I do notice when its hot but I'm not miserable. I dislike the cold more. I can't stand cold weather. It pretty much never gets really cold here and we have sunshine all year long but these hot summery days are when I'm most happy and productive.

Hell, it gives me an excuse to bake my brains on the porch with a beer and a roach.

*waves Manhattanward*

Heat? It's gray, drizzling and 48 degrees right now. Has been since that one day in... April, I think it was.

It's been lovely here today, 75F, which is just about at the top of my comfort zone.

Despite being an Australian, I hate the heat. I have very fair skin and burn at the merest hint of sunshine (I wore Factor 45 sunblock on my face today). And in really hot weather I get distressed, like a puppy that's been shut in a hot car, if I have to be out in it for too long.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow ...

30 C with 60% hunidity. Cooler than the past few days. Best of all no hail today!

I shut down when it goes above 80F. I get cranky and I can't think and I just don't feel right in my skin when it's hot out. I'm no fan of the extreme cold, either, but there must be somewhere on earth where it's a consistant crisp 70F with overcast skies, right? I would move there without a second thought, even if it's someplace gross.

I hate this freaking weather. It's been in the 90s for days now and I'm just a puddle of sweat. I was literally dripping into my keyboard when I was trying to use my laptop yesterday. My reconstruction-era house has no AC (and would be difficult to add) so we just turn on fans and drink lots of water. Bleh.

75F is a dream... pretty much perfect. I really suffer over 90F/32C - which, unfortunately describes most of summer here. Usually I just hibernate as much as possible when it's ungodly... but now that we have the dog, two or three walks a day are the necessary. Should be interesting.

But, yeah - I'm the same as many others here who dislike the heat - I'm rarely bothered by cold weather. I should have fallen in love with a Scandinavian instead of a Greek.

Heat? What heat? Where? Tell me so i can relocate! It's June 9th, and as i type it' still stuck on 48 degrees! My skin has taken on a greenish tinge and my afro has become so frizzy i could scour a bbq grill with it!

It's 65 here, though it's supposed to get up to 71. Which I think counts as "warm" for SF summer.

I looooooove hot weather though. But I also haaaaaaate air-conditioning, which makes summer sometimes difficult. Moving back and forth between "ice box" and "oven" makes me miserable. One thing I really like about San Francisco is its general lack of air-conditioning. I always got more colds in Boston when the temperature climbed than I did in the winter.

Though I also hate it when people have the heat cranked all the way up in winter and I'm sweating in nine layers of wool.

Stupid climate control. :-)

I do feel sorry for male office-workers (or other workers, of any gender) who are required, even when it's ridiculously hot, to wear clothing that's really not suited to a warm climate. We got into air-conditioning wars in my Boston office because the women were all wearing floaty skirts and sandals and sleeveless tops that worked really well outside; the men were all wearing button-down shirts and long pants and closed-toed shoes and ties, and sometimes suit jackets, that just didn't work if the air was not turned on in the office. So everyone was always fighting over having to bring in cardigans and pointing AC vents away from desks and yadda yadda yadda.

What cmonkey said. I don't like the heat much. In winter I can always get warm, just pile on more clothes or blankets or burn the house down or something. But in summer, forget it. It's been over 90 here every day for four days; I don't have AC; I'm over it. It's too hot to garden - it's too hot to do anything and it makes me cranky as hell.

I luv teh heet. My last three weeks in Riga, almost every single day got up to a perfect 25C/77F...ah.

If I could modify my wardrobe so I could still look decent without sweating (linen ftw!) then I'd be all set. When I was living in Indonesia, it was 25-35C pretty much every day, and after a month of hating it, it's like my body just switched all its sweat glands off and I became tropics-loving, but it was easy to update my wardrobe there because everything was so cheap...now it's a bit harder.

Given the choice, I'd totally go back to working somewhere hot. Another benefit of the heat: fun with sunglasses!

Y'know what I could use, though, in this weather, is a couple of handmaidens. To rub oil on the hard-to-reach areas. Ah!

I really dislike the heat, which makes me glad that I decided not to stay at school this summer (hello, Southern California desert weather). I totally agree with occhiblu, though, about the AC thing. While AC is the only thing that makes the summers bearable for me, I hate hate hate having to carry around a light layer whenever I'm going to be at work or the mall or the grocery store or the moves (etc). I wish people would be a little less liberal with the climate control.

I've often been called cold-blooded, because I don't react well to temperature extremes, although I much prefer the cold to the hot.

I can't stand the heat either, although I've grown slightly more tolerant of it ever since I endured a 113F/45C summer. I used to hate anything over 80F, but now I'm fine with temperatures up to 90F/32C. Anything much hotter than that, though, and I just feel like sleeping all day.

I'm moving back to the Bay Area, which has my ideal year-round weather, in September. I can't wait.

I don't mind the heat. It makes me work harder because I take breaks often to drink water. When it's really cold I just want to curl up and go to sleep.

I can deal with low 90's. This over 100 shit has got to go.

I hate summer.

I'm with mrmoonpie. The cold I can stand, but this heat, especially the humidity, is killing me. I bike to work year-round, and today was almost unbearable. It's only 73°F here in Chicago, but the humidity is 78% and it feels like it's 90°F.

The heat is kinda decent this time around because we have the super cold storage in the back where we hang out now whereas during wintertime, we were cursing it every time we had to go back there.

My cat seems to be enjoying it, except for us being apart a lot because i find heat a burden.
i get overheated easily, i can't imagine menopause can be worse. i need to come up with some type of floaty cooling yet supportive garment to keep me from looking like a half naked slob most whenever possible. i'll be filthy for as possible once i get filthy and am tempted to shave my head so i can keep drenching it in cold water.
If i could make a super cooling bustier garment that looped the back of the neck to keep you relieved from the heat... i need some super techno cloth but i could make it hot looking.

It's almost seven pm here and STILL in the high nineties. I think it got to 103 today.

This is wacked. I just got back from Colorado-somebody threw me head first into a Southern summer!

75F is perfect; if I get too hot I'm cranky. If it gets much over 85F I feel sick. The Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia is darn near perfect. We don't get many days over 90F and get just enough snow in the winter to be nice.
