It's October 10th today. Usually it is bitterly cold, almost-jacket, ~38 degree F type weather but it is a whopping 90 degrees today! I love me some Global Warming!!

fling that, a study came out last week from Texas A&M confirming Texas has been getting progressively hotter and we will get summer temps of 110+f in the next decade!

During the months of June-August you almost can't go outside from 1pm-5pm. You'd die

That's why we're in Michigan. Maybe we're freezing our asses off every winter NOW, but 20 years from now, we'll have perfect weather! -

I like the climate here. Only hot for a month. Yeah it's also humid during that time, but the rest of the year we get wet and miserable and occasional snow. Love it.

I reckon i'll take that over Michigan weather. We have 6months in the freezer (i'm talking 2feet of snow at times, temps around -12 to -15C. A day in December it always crashes to -35 or -40C) and ridiculously hot summers at around 100F.

See if you were using Celsius, then it'd just be the mid 40s.

That said, I don't think the actual temperature matters at all, provided it isn't humid at the same time, just being hot is fine. The steamy/muggy weather is where it all goes wrong.

It's a sauna. By the time you factor in the heat index, its well over 105f+ (probably 41-43c) for 3 months a year at a minimum.

Reminds me of that cliche phrase: "It's not the heat that gets ya, it's the humidity"

Kinda like the cliche question: "hot enough for ya?"

*shudder*

UAE if 45-50 Celsius in the summers.

^So do most parts of India and Pakistan. We have started to hit 46 here in Islamabad during the peak summer season.

I couldn't live in 46 degree weather. I would sooner prefer cold and icy conditions to heat and humidity.

Come visit Scotland some time then.

I don't understand Celsius. Just can't wrap my mind around how much 'that' actually is.

I prefer Humid-hot to just Hot Hot.
