So its ridiculously hot in SoCal

[DrunkenSamus]

With temperatures in the 90s/100s and me being drenched in sweat, do you guys have any tips for cooling down besides blasting the AC?

[itszutak]

It was in the 90s for all of last week here in south san francisco. Today, it's low 60's. Go figure :/

[ICEE]

I just had to walk home in it. an hour and a half in the heat, it was insane... OH but I saw a guy getting his cock sucked in the park by my house! That was a fairly magical yet awkward moment.

[SnaFuBAR]

keep household lights off and keep the blinds closed as well. Works particularly well for me, even though all the windows in my home face the sun side.

[Pope]

The best tips for hot weather is to keep windows open at night to let cool air in, then during the day keep blinds and windows closed to keep the cold air in. Just wait till it gets cold in the evening. Then repeat.

[Mr Buckshot]

I used to live in Silicon Valley. Temperatures did reach 120 farenheit back in summer of 2003 >.<

Keep blinds closed. If you have a big tree with a wide crown, put a chair under it and sit there with a laptop.

BEAUTIFUL IMAGE, GEE THANKS.

My house is surrounded by trees, mulberry trees. So my house is normally very cool. But when it does become a scorcher I normally do what the others said.

The other side to that is, the mulberry's are a perfect ingredient in my fruit salad. Mashed Mulberry's along with sliced strawberry's and banana's. Mix that together with cool whip and you have a delicious treat for a hot day.

[Llama Juice]

It was in the upper 90s all last week here in Orlando... and we've been without rain (until today FINALLY) for about 3 weeks... it looks like a desert outside.

[Hotrod]

Its in the 10s here.

Yeah, it was 13 most of the day, no? The weather changes too much so quickly.

Hope it wasnt a kiddie park....


I just wack on a fan then spray myself with cool water and then fan makes it ultra cold.

Dont really have to deal with hot weather here, its been nice past few weeks though

[ICEE]

I just wack on a fan then spray myself

the first thing that came into my head...

yea that rain came out of nowhere, it was so hot yesterday and barely any clouds, then it starts poring this morning.

[Rentafence]

I suggest you do a barrel roll.

[Hotrod]

It was rainy :|

Well, only in the morning until something like 11am. I don't exactly live right in Ottawa, so it could have been different for me.

[DrunkenSamus]

Its in the 10s here.

I WANT SOME. :(

It's only fucking May. I can't even begin to fathom how hot it will be in July/August. :gonk:

[Assault&Battery]

I live in SoCal as well, and I was stupid enough to wear a sweater this morning.
Yes, a sweater.

It was a nightmare.

[DrunkenSamus]

What the fuck are you smoking? The past few days have been absolute HELL and you think it will actually be cold in the morning!? I woke up DRENCHED in sweat today. What part of SoCal do you even live in?

[Cortexian]

Thats what I do once it gets over 25 Celsius here (77 Fahrenheit). I usually wear boxers or shorts though.

[Mr Buckshot]

Ha wimp, I only touched the AC when it got to 27 Celsius. I'm still wearing my T-shirt and shorts. Only my mom needs to use the AC at 25. Canada is just so much cooler (temperature-wise) than California.

[Bad Waffle]

uhh guys, it's 10:47 right now and its 80 degrees fahrenheit. In the last 5 days it reached 105 consistently every day, last year our hottest was 121 so i'm planning it to get hotter. I live in the middle of a desert. Mojave desert. Look up quartz hill, its close to the skunkworks plant and all those other aerospace defense industries.

Do you guys know the completely extreme discomfort of constant sweating, no matter where you go, no matter how many times you look for a cooler place, even at night, and the only way of cooling down is to take a slightly cold (but not chilled, you can get hypothermia from stepping into really cold showers because of the extreme heat loss, look it up if you dont believe me).

I can only have my computer on for short bursts in the night--because we cant afford the power of running it AND cooling down the house from all the heat of electronics, so we have to turn it all off.

Living out here sucks. At least it gives me more time to do my art, play my guitar. But no digital work. This summer is going to be hell for my work.

[ExAm]

Mmm, NorCal. Enjoy your superhot temps, fellas. It's a nice 80-something here.

[Bodzilla]

When will america learn.

Sun Is FuN K?
k.

Getting fucking cold where i live D:

[n00b1n8R]

Windows open, fans on and deal with it. :/

[SnaFuBAR]

well that was awesome... it got so hot all my koi died <:(>. so what did i spend all day doing? buying a BIGGER pond and equipment to set it up above ground. (160 gallon pond).

[n00b1n8R]

Hahaha, silly asian fish.

[Bodzilla]

It's all about the Bass baby.

[n00b1n8R]

You can keep bass in small home-ponds?

[Timo]

Move to New Zealand. It's currently 11C inside, and it's going to get colder as it get later :x

[Bodzilla]

You can keep bass in small home-ponds?
we do.

we got two ponds, a smaller one up the top and a bigger deeper one down the bottom, Theres a stream that runs between them ^____^

I'll get pics if ya want.

LOL Lag. You live in the Mojave? That fucking sucks for you. I thought living near the San Fernando Valley was bad enough.

[Assault&Battery]

I don't really know what I've been smoking, I got it from this pot dealer, and, well, it gets me really high.[/joke]
I'm in Rialto (Inland Empire), next to Bloomington, San Bernardino, and Fontana. Hour away from the beach, hour away from the snow in the mountains, hour away from Disneyland/LA.

Hullo ther neighbor.

[TeeKup]

You know whats funny. Fort Mill is receiving extremely heavy rains and a tornado warning right now, the sky is lit up with lightning and shattered by thunder left and right. The thunder and lightning is so beautiful.

[Boba]

BEAUTIFUL IMAGE, GEE THANKS.

Not to be making some kind of band-wagon thing, but I like to be naked most of the time. :eyesroll:

[cheezdue]

Hot weather is annoying for me, and the way i cool down is by opening the frige and sticking my head in theer to cool off. It works:highfive:

[Bastinka]

Be an Icicle farmer :]

[legionaire45]

I'm another California Guy. I live in the valley, (a few blocks away from Universal Studios Hollywood) and almost as if it was planned, the power for my entire block/general area failed under the additional stress of 5 recently added condos, with each person probably blasting their air conditions as high as they can go. Having just received a horrible cold from a friend at school, I'm sure you all can predict that I was fairly pissed off at this.

So I went to Fry's Electronics and bought Medal of Honor: Airborne for $20 :3.

I'm still sick though =<.

OT: The burbank Fry's Electronics has copies of UT3 Special Edition (with the editor tutorials) for $30. Imma head there next week and buy a copy.

[Pooky]

It's always in the 100s here in summer, I suck it up and deal with it...

[Roostervier]

Last year it got pretty hot here too. Was around 114 with a heat index of 122 during two-a-days that lasted from 6 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. Then again, I live in Indiana, so it doesn't get that hot like in other southern states.

I thought you lived in Burbank. But the valley is SO BAD in the summer. Oh well, at least you live close to the huge Budweiser factory.:beer:

And ya know, there should be a stickied weather thread somewhere.

Reminds me of the NT back in the old days..

It's not that simple.
Yeah, it is. What your describing is summer here every year (except last which was remarkably cool).

[legionaire45]

Well, in my case my family lives in 2 bachelor apartments built in the 1920's - the biggest wall on the entire house faces the sun at the hottest part of the day and that heat takes until easily around midnight to dissipate unless the AC is on. Because of this my place becomes an oven when it breaks or the power goes out.

[Bad Waffle]

Getting fucking cold where i live D:

Oh hey, FUCK YOU. :(


Windows open, fans on and deal with it. :/

Are you joking? Its usually barely colder outside, like a difference of two degrees, and did you forget the fact that when you turn an air conditioner on when your windows are open it wastes a LOT of electricity?


It's not that simple.

LOL Lag. You live in the Mojave? That fucking sucks for you. I thought living near the San Fernando Valley was bad enough.

I hate this goddamn desert more than anything else. I go to visit my sisters down in the bay cities (longbeach, LA) whenever i can, because its usually nice and chilly by the beaches and practically anywhere. I wish i could bottle up the cold or something...


It's always in the 100s here in summer, I suck it up and deal with it...
Suck it up and deal with it? Lets see you deal with it when you have to do heavy physical labor in the 100's, with heavy risk of fainting from heat exhaustion. Lets see you try and use your computers when they run the risk of literally MELTING, not to mention you're still sweating yourself. Summer in the middle of a desert means you hide in a hole and play videogames. And try not to die.

He said he didn't have AC, I never mentioned AC. That's all he can do really, same as me.

Or go to the shops since they have aircon.

[Bodzilla]

Cold Booze = win.

k?

Deal with it <:mad:>
also atm i'm having a great!!!111 time.

State of Origin ftw!

Uh huh. If it's only a little over 100, and you have a functional air conditioner, none of that's going to happen. Ergo, none of that happens here.

[legionaire45]

Well, that doesn't really help when you don't have a working air conditioner/power in general or when you have to conserve power. Or when you go outside.

[Gwunty]

Well the epic hotness is over, and it acctually almost rained today :haw:

[DrunkenSamus]

Well the epic hotness is over, and it acctually almost rained today :haw:

In Cali? Yeah, I know. It's so weird, one day it's a blistering 100 degrees Fahrenheit and the next day it's actually foggy...

[Mr Buckshot]

Does anyone live around the Silicon Valley area, aka my old home? I'm really curious to know if temperatures have hit the triple-digit Farenheit readings yet. I remember back in fifth grade when I finished my STAR test with a sigh of relief...only to groan when I stepped into the extreme 120-degree heat.

If any of you Americans are burning up, come north of the U.S.-Canada border. If you want even colder, go to northern provinces where the lowest temperature is about 20 degrees Celsius. There's a reason why Canada is so sparsely populated - we have more land mass than the U.S., but much of that land is all frozen up and unsuitable for development. Unfortunately, global warming is going to make the frozen, undisturbed areas shrink dramatically.

[ExAm]

In Cali? Yeah, I know. It's so weird, one day it's a blistering 100 degrees Fahrenheit and the next day it's actually foggy...
It's chilly, yeah. Where I live we're getting some pretty heavy gusts.

[Mr Buckshot]

It's chilly, yeah. Where I live we're getting some pretty heavy gusts.

Ah yes, Santa Cruz. It's always quite windy at the Boardwalk.

[ExAm]

Ah yes, Santa Cruz. It's always quite windy at the Boardwalk.
I only live in SC half the time. Right now I'm up in the mountains in Los Gatos. The internet blows just as hard as the wind does up here :mad:

[DrunkenSamus]

Oh wow, right now theres a mini thunderstorm going on in SoCal. SOCAL IS SO WEIRD. Thanks to living in a state where the desert, mountains, and the beach can come together.

Oh, and whoever is complaining about wind can just shut it. I live on a big hill and I am just exposed to Santa Ana winds. I got 70 mph winds up here one time and it was fucking devastating.

[ExAm]

Oh, and there's a fucking wildfire a few miles east of me. The wind isn't helping.

[Bodzilla]

lol....

crybabies.

[DrunkenSamus]

K, so it's fucking hot again and tomorrows going to be 110. WOOPEEE. The beaches are frickin' 30 degrees lower then the urban areas. -_-

[ExAm]

it's 110 where I am right now. Since the last wildfire (which got put out), there has been one other fire to the northwest of me (it got put out, too), and apparently there's one in Oakland right now, as well as one on a strip mall far southeast of me. I can see the plume from that one. It's huge.

[Limited]

It rained here today all day =\

Although past few days has been amazing, I actually have a tan on my arms :O

MJ whiteness is going :)

[ultama121]

It hasn't been so bad here. Kinda hot, but we've had much much worse.

[Syuusuke]

It's ridiculously cool today in NYC =)

[Varmint260]

I have such a tough time imagining the heat in places like SoCal. I live about half a mile from the Pacific Ocean in Canada, and so when it gets over 20 celsius, I'm sweating like hell.

Though it isn't like we don't have hot places right here in British Columbia. I've been in Boston Bar in the Fraser Canyon (roughly 2.5 to 3 hours driving northeast from Vancouver) when it was 44 degrees celsius (that's roughly 110 degrees fahrenheit).

[n00b1n8R]

:v:

K, you win.

[DrunkenSamus]

:v:

K, you win.

You try living in a house with poor insulation, ineffective AC, and no curtains where sleeping at night is an impossibility.
