The Hot Days of 2016

[Ohgun]

It seems like we are getting even closer to Autumn, but before September arrives, let's recap on our experiences of the days where the heat index got over 100°  Fahrenheit (or 37° Celsius if you live outside of the United States). Well when I had to endure a hot day this summer, I would typically move to a room that was cooler than the one I was currently in to either work on Visions of An Ancestry, surf the web, or sometimes play games Warframe. But that was only when the heat index got so high it was unbearable for me to stay in a non-air conditioned room. And I didn't have a pool so that was out of the question. So the only way for me to stay cool was to keep to rooms that are significantly cooler than the temperature outside. That was my experience with the hot temperatures this season. What are yours?

I ran 9 miles through a scorching forest on a 94 degree day while being chased and eaten alive by mosquitos. Fun.

well all I can say from experience is:

minnesota is very cold in the winter

minnesota is practically hell-temperature in the summer

washington is literal paradise

[Ohgun]

I would be afraid to live in Minnesota in the summer months by your experience.

Healthy summer temperatures here.

Still not hot enough to make me sweat, and I'm admittedly wearing black long sleeves and jeans most of the time. It's noticeably warmer in Michigan during the summer months, and definitely enjoyable. However, it doesn't last long due to the long and deadly winters. I remember back in middle school (I've lived here my whole life by the way), the snow was not stopping and the roads were so stacked to the point we had an entire week off (which caused the school year to extend another few days into summer to compensate).

This particular summer has been merciful, just like most of the previous. It started off depressing as most days were rainy or gray, but late July and early August have been very fair. It's freezing in my house most of the time (because I think our AC doesn't know what moderation is - it's either too hot or too cold), so stepping outside the first time of the day gives a feeling of it being much much hotter than it really is. I'll cherish this before the inevitable massive instant temperature drop and first snow in mid October.

That doesn't sound like fun when Mosquitoes are involved.

Then you have been spared from the heat waves that plagued America this summer.

I guess the winter weather in Michigan is more brutal than the winter weather in southwestern Tennessee, but I'm glad that the heat waves spared your state.

You can stop running to catch your breath but you get eaten alive by mosquitos. If you keep running you can't breath due to the hot air and may slip in a puddle. Fun.

I recently had the privilege of troubleshooting an outdoor compressor unit at my parent's house.

There were so many mosquitos... so many.

Praised be the Great White North.

Its been a comfortable 86 degrees in L.A., cooling down from last week. This coming week will be triple digits. Swimming in the pool and going to the beach are ways to stay cool. Going kayaking or rowing a racing/drum boat are my fun activities and the cold water temperature and cool breeze helps. Then go to the mall, yogurtland or Coldstone ice cream shop. We do get a lot of brush fires during the summer.

Seriously MK, fun? Don't let mosquitos eat you alive! Have you heard about the zika virus spreading? And not just that but other diseases they carry like west nile virus, malaria, dengue, etc. Take good care of your health - you're not Umbra Excalibur.

Do this: Use 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/3 cup witch hazel, 6 drops citronella oil and mix and place on a spray bottle and spray it on your exposed skin works better than chemical sprays you buy. Its harmless to pets.

*cough* washington barely has any mosquitoes *cough*

who wants to go to leavenworth and buy alpine hats and strudels?

That's what happens to my little sister so generally we try to make sure she never gets mosquito bites. Mosquitos tend to avoid me so I rarely get bit. I don't have to worry unless there's like swarms of them that is no fun.

I work in a small air conditioned office above a warehouse/distribution center full of hundreds of employees working in the heat. I came in one day and forgot myself. Started complaining that it sucked how hot my car was when I first got in it to drive up until the AC kicked in. All my co-workers looking at me like

If you really want big contrast in the weather try moving to Texas. (atleast the Dallas FW area)

It can get higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit down here, and down to the thirties and forties in the  winter. 

There's been some extreme weather reports (in my town) of all the streets icing over while it snowed non-stop. Everything was closed.

I used to go there every summer because my Aunt used to live near there. They always had very good seafood and barbaque.

That sounds like a great idea if I were to go outdoors for long periods of time.
