ehsnils Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Wow, a whole 86 degrees F! You wouldn't last a week in a Maryland summer [emoji38] Well, turn off all ACs in Maryland and see how people copes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasejase Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I grew up in shitty hot humid ass summers in CT. I didnt have ac for the first 21 years of my life. Big ol box fan propped in the window. Maybe some cold washcloths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big ol box fan propped in the window. Maybe some cold washcloths.Yep. Spent a summer in a sublet in Waltham, MA with the horizontal-sliding windows where you couldn't fit an AC unit. Had fans blasting. Also, Nils acts like we never have to go outside in the summer. Yard work at home, and at work I have to carry heavy shit between buildings. Heck, today I was loading up a box truck with some old furniture for a friend of my wife's. Although it was "only" 80 degrees (but with 90% humidity).

boxkita Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 What was the humidity? straight heat. drove to utah. dry desert heat... Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I'll take dry heat all day long at any temp compared to the same in the humid Midwest or NE. That said, even here in the PNW, 85+ is too hot unless I have a walk-in cooler to chill in occasionally or I'm on the water.

laz Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Humidity is what gets me. With that said the weather here (south Florida) so far has been pretty nice. Only problem is that it has not rained enough. --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted June 20, 2021 I Donated Share Posted June 20, 2021 I'll take dry heat all day long at any temp compared to the same in the humid Midwest or NE. You say "at any temp"... I mean, I agree dry heat is much more bearable overall, but hot is hot. I've been in AZ when it's 110+ out. You still move too fast or carry too much at your own risk.

boxkita Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I drove from Denver to El Paso in one day a couple decades ago in early July. Denver was a pleasant 60 degree day. El Paso was 103 at 8pm. I popped out of my air-conditioned car to get gas and just about passed out. The next day, went rock climbing at Hueco Tanks (rip). Spent the rest of the evening sucking down water trying to get hydrated. I have tried to avoid the desert every since. Going to SLC in June? not my best decision.

I Donated thefultonhow Posted June 20, 2021 I Donated Share Posted June 20, 2021 Going to SLC in June? not my best decision. I lived there for a year. July 2005 to July 2006. The first month I was there it was 100+ for a whole week. It was definitely hot, and you had to make sure not to exert yourself too much... but it wasn't THAT bad. On the way back to MD in 2006, I drove up to Yellowstone, then Mt. Rushmore and the Badlands. I was young and on a budget, so I roughed it for most of the West. Going camping at Mt. Rushmore when it was 90 degrees was not fun. In other news, it was 95 degrees in NJ today and I was moving furniture... Nils is a pussy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I lived in Michigan: 100 degrees and 100% humidity. I moved to Seattle because it never got over 80. I'm pissed I recently had to install ac to sleep through the night in the summer. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickDastardly00 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Going to be 90 here today, not bad but a little too hot for me unless I'm jumping in some water. ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Having a studio apartment with windows only on one side sucks, especially when the windows faces west and the sun only goes down beyond the horizon after 21:00 (9pm for some of you). No way to get any decent air exchange. Darn sauna heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laz Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 74 for me. 72 if it’s really hot. --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDTurbo Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I need my bedroom to be in the 60's to sleep well. 50's works too. Lower 60s at most temperature-wise. 60s-70s music/relaxant-wise. 21-30s ladies-wise… And interesting how moving air makes hot and cold cooler but by different principles. And how youth is hotter than ©older. Shiver me timbers… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated thefultonhow Posted June 22, 2021 I Donated Share Posted June 22, 2021 I need my bedroom to be in the 60's to sleep well. 50's works too. I do 68 in the summer, 64 in the winter. My father-in-law keeps his house at 72 degrees 24/7/365. Makes for very uncomfortable visits up there. At least in the winter I can open a window in the bedroom.

jasejase Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 68 is doable in the summer. We've been trying to do 67-68 in the summer. Gets pricey. 72 is fine during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
