and nasty.
Been outside yet? Got up, took a shower, yogurt/apple/toast/tea, went out to water the garden for maybe 10 minutes.... then had to come in & shower again. How can it be so ridiculously hot and unpleasant at 8 in the morning??
Everyone I see outside, at any hour, is sweating from the face and looking miserable these days. Is it me or have the past few days been abnormally, global-warmingly wretched? It feels much worse than other summers.

I know what you mean, the walk to work was a change-of-clothes affair... |

It doesn't feel any worse than normal to me. I think the catch is that we had a longer spring and summer didn't really get going until just now, in AUGUST.
Luckily, I have a near door-to-door bus service between work and home and A/C at work, so I don't notice the heat much until about 8 pm. By then, it's bearable.  |

Well I'm in Southern Ontario, Canada (Hamilton) and yesterday it was 36C - 47C with the humidex. Thankfully we had a crazy storm last night and today it was only 31C  |

damn, air conditioning isn't a luxury by any means in this weather.
last night in one of my rooms i had all the windows wide open, a huge factory-use floor fan blasting away... and at 1 a.m. it was still a stifling 31 degrees in there.
the trick is to localise your all activities in one single small room and then crank the A/C in there. screw trying to keep a whole house or even a few large rooms bearable, i'd go broke doing that. the kitchen & living room were especially beastly. i dread going home. and i really do think this summer is more oppressive than others. |

Discuss: is it or is it not a long, hot summer because the Korean calendar has a leap year with two Julys?  |

Yeah, I'd go with that. Up until this week this summer had been fairly tame. Also for me, this is my first summer with fully air-conditioned apt and classroom...what a difference that makes!
On a related note: can anyone remember when the cicadas stop their racket? It's already driving me nuts....(ugly suckers, too) |

Man, they keep waking me up at 6.30. I hate them. I have to have the window open because I only have a fan. I dont want to die of fan death which means those ugly little bugs give me a morning call.
I want fall to come tomorrow. When does it get cool again? |

Maybe mid-September? My seasonal detection system has three levels: hot, ok, cold.
6:30 am wake-up calls from the cicadas don't bother me, but hearing them at 2 am when it's still completely dark out makes absolutely no sense. For some reason, a few of them near my house like to party into the wee hours along with me. |

Oh damn... it appears my apartment is now flooded after I took that six-pack of beer out of the fridge ten minutes ago.
Let this be a warning to you, people. One bottle at a time only, and keep the mop handy. |

Honestly almost passed out in class a number of times today
Showered 3 times, just to cool off & clean all that sticky sweat off my poor dehydrated bod.
