[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I woke up an hour ago and my bedroom was already 31°, it's much too hot 😂

Yes, yep - UK, boiling alive slowly with the rest of the country at the moment! Still, it is absolutely gorgeous outside. I used to be up near the Cotswolds, which would've been ideal in these conditions. Hopefully you've got some nice green space near you that you can enjoy? 🤞

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm staying indoors with the curtains shut. Not a fan of summer!

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Honestly, I'm sat in front of a fan in my lounge with the blinds closed too! But I will try and get out and about a bit later once it's cooled off, love a good walk in the evenings! Have a good weekend 🥳

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

We seem to have your usual weather down here. No, we're not swapping, thanks.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

I live in the desert of eastern Washington state, USA.

It's been a fucking heat wave for a month already. I'm dyin' over and losing so much sleep. It's past 1am and the windows have been open with fans in them since 10pm when the temperature outside finally dropped below the temperature inside (79F/26.1C outside to 80F/26.6C inside), and as of now its finally down to... 77F/25C... still too fucking hot. It's been well over 90F/32F every day for way way way too long. It's hit 100F/37F at least 6 days that I've counted so far.

I'm a self-hoster with a lot of devices and I've literally shut down any non-essentials to keep the heat down inside.

In western WA, there's really no such thing as AC, is that the case in eastern WA too?

[–] watty@piefed.social 3 points 4 days ago

No. I'm originally from Spokane. Never saw a house without AC growing up. When I moved to Seattle, I was surprised by the absence of this core feature.

It's hit and miss in eastern WA, none in this old house.

That's unbearable 💔

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Toronto will be sitting at around 34C feels like 42C today.

It's finally cooling down here it's 7pm

No, this has actually been the nicest week in a month or so, temperature wise (Marseille, France). It didn't even reach the 30s... but next week we're back to the daily hellish 30°+ Celsius, lol.

[–] Rich_Benzina@feddit.it 3 points 4 days ago

Blessed with some manageable temperature this week, almost spring like. next we get back to the usual 38 with 75 percent humidity

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I'm in Florida. How can I tell?

[–] zlatiah@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

~~Locked in my parents' basement~~Traveling in Thailand at the moment; Chiang Mai seems to only hit 90F/32C tops, which is... almost strange for a tropical area like this. A lot of places in China much more up North are way hotter than this at the moment

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I guess some people would call it that, but 95F/35C is just normal summer temps for the US Midwest. As we say here, it's not the heat that gets you, it's the humidity.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

And wearing the wrong clothes.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

It's been humid and hot, but mostly thunderstorms here.

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Nope. We had something between 23 and 27 degrees this week and next week will (probably) be the same. It’s also a bit windy. This is perfect weather. To me anything below roughly 32 - 35 degrees is manageable. Getting very critical very fast above that.

[–] Object@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yup. 36C in Gyeonggido right now. Now I'm using an unbrella on top of sunscreens. Really considering getting a dedicated parasol since I've heard they a bit different, but I'm not sure if that's actually significant.

[–] pan0wski@infosec.pub 1 points 4 days ago

We (Croatia) had a heatwave last week and this week has actually been really nice but I can feel it getting warmer again.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Nope. I'm in south western Germany and it was 27C today. I had to sit in the sun for a couple of hours but it was fine with a hat on.

[–] Neondragon25@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago

Recently moved to Northern Nevada from Phoenix. Yes there is a heatwave here, but it's cooler than what I'm used to.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

It's been hot as hell all week and is going up to even hotter today. For such a cool spring right through most of June, the weather is sure making up for lost time.

[–] Pazintach@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

We were 37° last week, 50%~90% humidity too... Thankfully, we had lots of rain this week, it's down to 30° now...

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's hotter than Lucifer's asshole outside.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Hotter than the hammered down hinges of hell, as my southern friend says.

[–] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 days ago

Pool party got cancelled because it was cloudy and too cold. We've decided to schedule one pool party per week to keep the heat under control. You're all welcome, your fresh weather should arrive in a couple of days after making its way up North!
