the temperature must be between 50 and 80 degrees fahrenheit for me to be comfortable

 

[Nester]

Just ran a block to Subway quick on my break and the humidity is disgusting.

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

It's supposed to be 95 degrees (35 degrees celsius) on Saturday :/ ... without humidity factored in. Prom is on Monday... 32 degrees... just brutal.

 

[Ryck]

Aside from the skimpy outfits ( god I love those little skirts that are in style right now and I mean com'on I sit infront of a window at a shopping center)....... I prefer cold weather

 

[alejob]

Around 80 is pretty good. Atleast with hot weather you can still go outside and do stuff. There is no way I can spend quality time outside in the cold.

That's sick.... I feel sorry for the poor guys sweating to death in their suits. It is pretty hot and muggy right now, but I would take this weather over a Winnipeg winter any day.

 

[Dice]

I'm really skinny and I don't even start to sweat until it's over 95 and I'm in the sun, so I'm fine with heat. My ideal tempature is probably 83, that's just beautiful and you can get active without getting too warm. I also love humidity, it kind of wraps around you and it's comforting. It's 92 right now, but I like it because I'm not doing much. I also love having it be in the 70's at night, though it's nice to have the occasional cool night in the 50's so you can grab a hoodie.

 

[Desperado]

I live in Houston.

Don't want to fucking hear about it. >:

high five

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

So prom was yesterday.... I survived the 33 degree weather :lol...
It was also my first time drinking...
3 Rums and Cokes
2 Coor's Light
... in an hour...
on an empty stomach...
Anyway yeah it's probably not that much but I must say... it gave me the confidence I needed to ask someone out :lol...
I was rewarded for my honesty .

For those interested, this is how it happened...
There weren't any fireworks planned by the boat cruise company.. but I guess there were fesitivites somewhere around the river because they went off for a few minutes... Just as the fireworks went off, my (now) girlfriend said that I had to stop making her smile... that her cheeks were hurting.
So I said, "Well what can I do to make you frown? This will be a tough one... Oh! I know!"
Then I said, "What if I told you that you are the most beautiful person here tonight... that I couldn't imagine never having met you.. and that this summer will be the best summer of my life if I ask you out right here, right now."
I looked over and she was still smiling.
So I said, "You're still smiling... I guess I failed."
She said no and then kissed me.

Just got back from Santa Cruz.



It sucked.

Psst.. Don't let SantaCruZer hear that.

Anyway. I hate hot weather too. I get all sweaty and everything. And this hot weather is making me feel miserable and lazy. And when I'm feeling lazy, I don't want to shave. And when I don't shave, I get a huge beard. And when I get a huge beard my face feels really warm when I go to sleep. And it sucks.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

I went hiking once when it was past 90. Keep yourself hydrated and enjoy the heat!

What's really bad is 65 with thin clouds and a breeze. You need more clothing because of the breeze, but the humidity makes you sweat. >_<

 

[MIMIC]

I LOVE the hot weather...as opposed to Cleveland's harsh, shitty winter weather (ice, freezing cold, heavy snow, etc.). I'm glad we've been in the low-to-mid 90s so far.

I love it so much because it leads to warm nights (we had a low of 78. ). And I have central air, so I can always escape it.

 

[MoxManiac]

I fucking hate it. Especially when it's humid too. I can't even go outside it's so hot sometimes. Plus the AC at work was busted too, so it was sticking to the chair time.

Fuck you summer.

 

[Talas]

I love hot weather, I don't know any other.

And what's snow?

 

[Macam]

I live in Houston.

Don't want to fucking hear about it. >:

This thread should've ended here. Houston is instant swampass.

How do people in the East and Midwest handle the cold winters and hot summers? Not only do you guys get snow, you guys get hot and humid summers. OMG 78 degrees plus humidity at NIGHT?!?

 

[xsarien]

That nasty shit that falls from the sky in the Winter. It looks good for about a day, then pollution sets in and turns it a nice, muddy brown.

 

[shuri]

I make it my duty to remind everyone here about the times they complained about cold weather. SUFFER NOW!

 

[Lil' Dice]

I like hot weather, it gies me a chance to show off my hot body.

I'm also a fan of humidity, Miami weather is my favorite, it makes your skin 'glow'; i can;t wait to go back to Hawaii next month.

Also, warm climate women>>>>>>>>>>>>>>cold climate women.

 

[ToyMachine228]

I hate hot weather. It makes it hard for me to function normally. The only positive that I can get out of it, is that my girlfriend wears her bikini around everywhere. Other than that, I hate hot weather. 70 degrees with a decent wind is fine by me.

 

[marmaraS]

Bah, i used to live in Hong Kong humidity was constant, you get used to it, but then when you do you really miss having colder days! Nah not really Honk Kong rocked!

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I'm torn. Winter pretty much sucks it, nothing worse than being "cold". But humidity of the sort we're having in MI really blows as well. I liked the desert heat of Vegas. It was sometimes 110+ which is too much to take, but less than that is grand. On the other hand, cool weather clothing>>>>warm weather, except for hot chicks. Especially if you have a job you have to be presentable for. The midwest is filled, 2 seasons of the year, with mopey cowlike creatures making their way through snowdrifts or sweating smelly buckets. People who live in Northern California...I salute you for your wisdom.

And then those retarded little kids at school start throwing snowballs made from that nice, muddy brown shit. Muddy iceballs if you will.

Actually, San Diego was named as having the best weather in teh US. The average yearly temp is like 70-72.

 

[Gregory]

I hate hot weather. I`d prefer to have 0 degrees celsius all the time. Or a couple below so it could be ice all year round and I could skate and play hockey anywhere.

Very nicely done. Beautifully worded and handled. Sounds like you are going to have the summer of your life.

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

It's cliche, but:

It really isn't the heat, it's the humidity.

I'm in Salwa City, Kuwait trust me it's the heat.

 

[B'z-chan]

Well i'll be the first to say that fresno is one hot fucking place. But that isnt true this place has always been hot in the summer. This week 100's are coming. YAY my ass will be burning like a biscuit.

 

[Lathentar]

I've lived in both extremes.

I lived in Calgary for 2 years during the worst winner in nearly a century.

I lived in Dubai for 2 years... 90+ degrees and 100% humidity pretty much every day of the year. Heat Index would be near 140 during the summer time!

I've lived in Houston most of my life and it is NOTHING compared to living in Dubai.

Anyways, Hot weather w/ AC > Cold weather.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Fuck that.

Freeze your ass off for a couple of winters, and you're ready to suck off the sun come Spring.

I'm movin' south once I consolidate some of my debt. Fuck snow. Fuck snow right in the ass.

And fuck the greedy ass gas company too. >:|

 

[explodet]

HOLY SHIT IT WAS HOT TODAY.

 

[demon]

Fuck that.

Who said the only alternative to scorching heat is blistering cold? Both suck total ass, and while weather associated with extreme cold can be a lot more of an inconvenience, IMO extremely hot weather is just plain more uncomfortable.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Probably because Cleveland only has FUCKIN' HOT and FUCKIN' COLD!

I have no frame of reference. Then again, it's mostly what others have said - the god damned humidity. I can take 90 degree weather, unless it's 90 degree weather with high humidity. Then your fuckin' clothes stick to you. :X

 

[demon]

Probably because Cleveland only has FUCKIN' HOT and FUCKIN' COLD!

Madison ain't much different. I'm sitting here thinking, "okay, I endured months of shitty winter waiting for the nice mildy warm months.......now what happened to them?"

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Yeah, and I'm too uninformed to find some place in the 70's all year round, so I'm opting for BURRRRN and moving way down south when I save up the cash. Gimme a nice dry heat any day. Let some hippy find my corpse and bike somwhere in the desert.

 

[Fifty]

The humidity right now (well, not as much tonight but you know what I mean) in Toronto is insane. They had a "heat alert" and the city opened 4 "cooling centres" to deal with the heat today...I did a lot of walking, so I was sweating my ass off, and I come home to a non air conditoned apartment...wonderful. This fan isn't doing much. I should just move into a mall or something.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Haha - what exactly is a cooling center?

So far as AC goes, I lucked out and a fellow I work with sold me a small AC unit that I use in my bedroom for $20. Pretty rockin', but I spend most of my time in the front rooms. Sweating. Just sitting there - sweating.

 

[xsarien]

Haha - what exactly is a cooling center?

During prolonged heatwaves, cities sometimes open up buildings that are air conditioned to the public. If they're not air conditioned, window units are installed on a temporary basis.

 

[Fifty]

Yep

City Hall is one of them. I'm not sure how many room(s) they have open, or what's in them..but basically that's the deal.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Ah - we have some places like that, I prefer the Library. Plenty to read. Nice cool air. And the bosoms - OH THE BOSOMS!

Stupid petty sarcasm aside - I don't believe our city has anything of that sort just for the sake of cooling down.

 

[Raistlin]

Last 3 days have been 93, 95, 93 here ... and the dew point when it was 95 was just under 70.

That's only marginally below tropical rain-forest level humidity.

Swamp-ass galore!


BTW - I'm from Buffalo ... yes, land of ice and snow.

 

[Zensetsu]

Again I say "We in Washington welcome you!"

"aside from the murders, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in America!" - some random senator (liquor has killed too many brain cells, i'll try to find the origin of the quote)

BTW - I'm from Buffalo ... yes, land of ice and snow.

:"( I thought Buffalo was the land of the buffalo...

 

[Shinobi]

Buffalo is the land of wings and fires.

It's hilarious how silly we can get about weather, particularly in areas where you get both extremes. I mean, take all this talk about loving the winter...I guarantee you that not one person here would've uttered anything of the sort back in Feburary, when we were still in the midst of one of the longest, most miserable winters in years. Personally I was cursing the day of my own birth everytime I had to go outside into minus 20 celsius tempretures, plus a 20mph windchill so biting it cut through to the bone. Yet now people wish that weather was back? :lol Fuck that shit. This past winter more then ever proved once and for all that the season fucking sucks.

Having said that, few things are more annoying then hearing people claim they love this ridiculous overheat and humidity, when most of 'em are working in air conditioned offices and living in air conditioned homes. Try working in a warehouse with no air conditioning all day and tell me how much you love it. Lord only knows how the construction workers deal with it.

Anyway, both extremes suck hard. The coolest season of the year by far is the spring...getting out of the winter months, and seeing and feeling the air slowly warm up, the grass get greener, the trees get fuller, and the ladies start to wear less and less, is one of the best feelings I get all year.

My preferred tempreture is 70...warm enough to feel bliss, cool enough to run or play some ball without sweating like a warthog. I can live with 80 just fine. Once it starts getting into the early 30's, it begins to get ridiculous. And that gets compounded once humidity gets in there. I'd probably take a dry 85 over a humid 72.

BTW, nice story by The Queen's Own...very nicely done.

 

[Brofist]

Hot weather is great. Playing 2 hours of soccer straight in the dead heat, sweating buckets. That's where it's at man. Cold weather is for fat pasty looking people who are afraid to sweat.

 

[scissorfight]

Humidity is the absolute fucking worst.

My wife still won't discuss moving to Alaska.

 

[Shinobi]

Can't say I blame her. :lol Might as well move to the fucking Falkland Islands...at least there you can count sheep.

 

[Space Age Playboy]

I've been seeing a lot of people lately going jogging at 2 PM in hundred degree heat, some of them with quite a bit of clothing on. I can only imagine what makes them think that's a good idea.

 

[Ash Housewares]

I love hot weather, I don't know any other.

And what's snow?

it snowed here once when I was 8 I think

I remember white stuff, that's about it, it was cold, I didn't like it

I like living in a desert, and I liked being on the edge of the mississisppi in the middle of summer too, if you can dish it I can take it
