Supposed to top out at 100 today in Salem, Massachusetts, which is way too damn hot. Especially considering that we spent all of May and most of June in the high forties.
Added to that I threw out my back and I cannot lift any of our air conditioners, let alone put them in. There's one in the living room that's up and running, so the whole damn family is barricaded in here.
This could end badly.

We spent the day at the petting zoo, which in retrospect had every trapping of a Thoroughly Bad Idea.
We have central air, but our landlord is iffy on maintenance and the house has never gotten lower than 86. Yesterday I just took the kid and the dog outside and sprayed them with the garden hose.

there's always 2-3 weeks of stroke inducing 100-115 degree weather here, but that's dry heat.
i'd start survival maneuvers if i had to deal with humidity on top of that

For me, there has been a total of eight days without rain since June 1st. I love rain, so this is good.

earlier the boyfriend bought me one of those little counter .25c junior mint thingys while we were waiting on the bus and I was sorting through papers, and by the time he walked from the counter to the stop, about 30 seconds, his hand was covered in melted chocolate. :(
edit: oh yeah and the humidity/muggyness on the east coast is TERRIBLE. yesterday it rained and everyone was like, "ah, finally, we'll get to cool off!" but it just made it so much more worse. :(

I just came back from an event at a baseball field. We were all dripping with sweat and about to drop the whole time. They had stations where they were making everyone drink a dixie cup of cold water every so often.

A couple of years ago, I was trying to follow Mr. Kitsa through an airshow and the heat index was like 110 or something. I got lightheaded and the next thing I knew, a Marine was shouting "MA'AM! MA'AM! Are you all right?" That snapped me to attention pretty quick. I think the Marine gave me water.

It was in the high 90's in Florida. I heard it was brutal back home in Boston. The house was really hot when we stepped inside for the first time in a week. I hear it's supposed to be cooling off, though.

It's been 35 C in my house for the past three days. No air conditioning ever. Apparently with the humidity it was feeling like 44 outside on friday.

I just got back from the airshow.
First, we met Miss Ohio, who liked my daughter very much after said daughter referred to her tiara as an "angel hat". Then we learned that Miss Ohio's "cause" is lightning safety.
Then, a severe thunderstorm moved in.
So it seemed a tad weird, watching Miss Ohio being the special guest of honor and talking about lightning safety from her table under a metal-pole VIP tent as a thunderstorm raged all around.
Anyway, we didn't stick around for the Thunderbirds because we were dodging lightning bolts, trying to get on the first bus out of there.

The hottest I've ever experienced was 45C. Convert that, boffins.

i usually just remember boiling is 100, freezing is 0, and human body temp is 37. even if your math's not precise you can still get a pretty good ballpark estimate from those

You mentioned metric when we were crapping on about celsius, so my point was correcting you.
And Kelvin was metric last time I checked. :\

All right, I admit that was obscure. I keep having to remind myself that my point of reference predates most of you by at least 15 years. :(
That was originally from Bob and Doug MacKenzie's "Great White Album".
Which is then followed by Doug's immortal line "How many BEERS is that?"

Well I've already been with an infraction once for using metric, and something tells me celsius is similar territory. I think I'll just leave this discussion where it lies.

SCTV was awesome. Especially the epsiode where the special guest stars were Deforrest Kelly and Conrad Baines' identical twin brother who isn't an actor, except Kelly was played by Dave Thomas and Conrad Baine really does have an identical twin brother who is not an actor, so it was probably him. And it is no longer hot in Masachusetts. It is seasonable.
