Nicer tomorrow tho..
 

Scotland goes to 17?

That's the North of Englandshire where Straummy is.
 
We had temps of up to 30 degrees C a couple of weeks ago. Been a good summer this year.
 
 

Could you guys spare some of that rain and send it to California?  Thanks.

I remember one time a week of 80F was forecast and the local newspaper was warning old people to stay indoors with a fan on.

It's gotten worse than that now .......I came back to UK recently from spending time abroad where mid 30's is the delightful norm and the first thing I saw on the news when I got back was a weather "warning" that everyone should stay indoors unless going out was absolutely necessary as it was predicted that temperatures could reach as high as 26. It really is pathetic when what they should be saying is....so get your shorts on, buy yourself an ice cream and make the most of it because we all know that it won't last for long !

This is why I tell friends and family not to come to NYC in the summer. It's going to be 90+ and humid and they're not going to enjoy it (although this summer has been the mildest for over 10 years). Come in late September/early October when the weather is like a warm British summer!

Having said that, I shouldn't be too harsh. Warm temps are harder to deal with in the UK because hardly anyone has AC. I remember the summer of '94 in Newcastle, lying on top of the bedclothes too hot to sleep. At least when it's hot here, I know I'm eventually coming home to that cool dry air.

Personally I hate sleeping in an AC climate. It can be a pleasant relief from excessive heat at times , but it's so drying that I feel like crap in the morning. On balance I'd rather just have the window open and be a bit hot.

That's all well and good until it's 85+ and 75% humidity, the kind of weather where the sweat just rolls off you constantly. I find excessive humidity to be more drying than AC because the sweating dehydrates you, in fact that's partly why a lot of people experience joint pain in humid weather - the sweating takes water away from joint cartilage. It can also cause inflamed tissues to expand. I'm not one of these people who sets their AC at 70 on full blast, that's just way too cool. I find that if you keep it around 80F it just takes the edge off the heat and dries the air but not too much.

It's been high 80's to high 90's for the last two weeks including some days with high humidity.  Can't stand it.  Unlike "normal" people, I mostly sweat from my forehead and it drops right into my eyes (hardly any in the "usual" places like underarms or back).  Unfortunately, if I'm being active, this starts around 72 degrees F!  I guess I should move to an even cooler place, eh?

Here in the UAE its been up to 117 F this summer, the typical daytime high is about 104, cooling down to about 90 just before dawn. Humidity is high, one morning recently there was fog!
 
I suffer more in the UK when its warm and humid as I find it very had to sleep.

That's exactly the same thing that happens to me Craig.
 
It's only rained 2 days in the last 4-5 weeks here in British Columbia. Otherwise it seems to be staying at 25-29 C.
 
Going up to 32 C for the next week.
 
Too hot!
 
23 C & under for me thanks.
 
 

Ok, yet another double post that happens only on this forum - and no other.
 
This forum software really needs to be dealt with.
 
For a company that sells software, I'm embarrassed for them.

Heh, I've always heard how similar both Vancouver's are (I'm only about a mile east of Vancouver Washington).  I would have thought you were a lot cooler up there seeing as you're, what?, something like 300 miles north of here?
 

That was quick!  Thanks for send the rain.  We need it.
