I, too, was a very sleepy teenager and now I have to work in the sun for a living. But by this time of year you should have your heat tolerance built up. Heat tolerance is a real thing.


What imaginary job are you going to pretend this account does for a living?

My issue is it feels like this summer there’s been no break once the sun goes down from higher temps and humidity. Usually it dips down in the 60s/70s here and you can at least get out at that point. Or earlier in the morning. At 11 pm last night it was still high 80s with high 90s heat index. It’s unrelenting and no, not normal for my area.

We’ve also had double the normal rain we have in the summer this year and it just keeps feeding it feeling like pea soup here.

This is when the heat really takes a toll. There's no recovery. We've had a few nights like that this Summer.

It’s easily 4th by a wide margin in terms of favorite seasons

Agreed if you live in the South. It's probably great in Washington, Alaska or Maine, but it's easily the worst of 4 here.

August is the hottest month in San Antonio. Grass doesn’t stand a chance.

Consider yourself lucky, it could be the exact opposite. It's rained less than a quarter inch in the last month in most parts of central Arkansas. There is an extreme drought occuring for most of the area; some rivers, streams, and bayous I've never seen this dry in my 39 year memory. Grass is all dead and crunchy, ground is rock solid, trees are browning.

But most of all, no break from the sun as there's been no cloudy or overcast days. My AC unit is living the "I'm tired boss" meme

No teachers get 3 months off. They return end of July/1st of August for professional development and go to school throughout the summer to prepare for the year.

Ran 7 miles at noon yesterday. It took a bit of a toll.

Walked 18 today. Love it.

Hot or cold is just a state of mind. Grown men complaining about temps is the reason marital and pre marital sex is down.

Only two more months of heat, brosef.

Hold on.

PS Don't complain when it's warm enough on Christmas Day to wear shorts and T shirt outdoors.

WELCOME TO LOUISIANA !!

Those people live in parts of the country where 90 degrees is considered a heat wave

10 to 12 hours a day, 5 days a week working outside. You never get used of it and it does take a toll on you
Couple of years ago we made it to the end of August, and the heat was just oppressive. Company asked for volunteers for a loan to South Carolina. It took me about 5 seconds to pull up that weather forecast (lows in the 50s/60s) and volunteer.

My pool today is 94. Got in but it’s not refreshing. Feels like taking a bath.

85 is the sweet spot. But I ain’t seen that since late June.

It's not even about working outside (of which I do my fair share for both my job and around the house) as much as it is just being trapped in a house all day because it's 104 with a 112 degree heat index. Even highs in the mid to lower 90s make for great mornings and dusks at the park, by the lake, at the splash pad, sitting by the pool, etc. When it gets THIS hot even hanging out by/in the pool sucks. Not to mention my electric bills are $475 in Arkansas and $380 in Florida for July Ready for September to get here


All of this ! All the great things about florida but this shite does get old!
Need a shack in the mountains for 5 months out of the year to go along with my house in florida.
