fuck you buge yesterday was like a wet sauna all fucking day

i already hate this town's weather

[Disposable Ninja]

Hey guys, your killer weather patterns are neat and all, but could you tone it down a bit? It's getting kinda cold up here.

Sorry about that, man. I know how much cold air sucks. I mean, just yesterday after I finished raking up all the heavy, wet branches and leaves scattered over my lawn under the hot noon sun, I laid down on my bed in my sweltering, un-air conditioned room, and I was drinking my warm coke (all the ice had melted you see), I just thought to myself: "Wow, I am in heaven!"

i already hate this town's weather

Alright, let me teach you about Québec weather.

• 4 months brutally cold
• 2 months cold and wet
• 5 months brutally hot and wet (also, as of recently, stormy as fuck)
• 1 month comfortably cool

[Fredward]

balls.

[François]

I bet there's no better October than the Québec October, though.

[Thad]

Brutally hot.

Really?

REALLY?

[Royal☭]

Woah there!  Reign in those indignation horses there, Thad.  These guys are Canucks.  "Brutally Hot" is like.. 86 degrees to them.


I'd also like to take some time to thank Hurricane Ike for making the weather here in North Texas sublime.  The temperature has been cool, the skies clear, and the air blissfully free of pollution for the first time in months.  It's a good day to be outside.

[Thad]

Rein in those indignation horses there, Thad.

YOU'RE NOT HELPING

[A²]

109 Degrees  is "brutally hot"

EDIT: I used to live in Texas, and did in fact live in texas - in the Houston area! - during the above time. So I'm stating that Canada "Brutal Hot" is nowhere near actual "Brutal Hot"

[Royal☭]

That's nice, Lyrai, but has fuckall to do with Canada.

Also, Thad:

Once your metabolism gets used to feeling profound relief and joy when a winter day is only -30°C, yeah, brutally hot is exactly what I mean. Unless "stick-grandpa-in-the-fridge-before-he-dies hot" is more accurate.

Sitting on the porch, basking in the breeze and enjoying the rare spot of 3g coverage I've gotten lately, it makes the whole hurricane thing seem so passé.

Still wish the power was on at the apartment.

Brutally hot-and-wet is a different kind of brutal than brutally hot.

Though one is mostly uncomfortable and the other is likely to cause heatstroke and cancer if you spend more than a half hour in it.

109 Degrees  is "brutally hot"

No, 120+ is brutally hot.  109 is an average Phoenician summer day!

Although, apparently Lake Havasu got up to 128 degrees back in '94.  At that point you just sweat fully formed salt crystals.

Shouldn't this "I live in worse weather than you" contest be decided by who lives in the area with the largest variance between Winter and Summer, rather than just how hot it gets in Summer, or how cold it gets in Winter?

For example, someone who lives in a place where it's 30-100 (a range of 70) would win against someone who lived in a place where it's 50-115 (65) even though the latter is 15 degrees higher in Summer, because the former would have a bigger range for his/her body to adjust to, making the highs in Summer and the lows in Winter subjectively harder to bear.

This may, of course, still favor Thad as the person with the biggest right to complain. I have no idea how cold it gets in Arizona/Phoenix. And regardless, extreme highs/lows still have some merit, obviously.

I do know that my personal variance is around 60-65. I'm sure some people here could beat that. I'm not even interested in complaining, because I never really mind the weather/heat/cold due to my titanium exoskeleton undead nature cushion of dead babies alien physiology psychic projection field nanobots tits.

Anyway, no cheating by using night lows in the winter. You're not outside at 3 in the morning. Unless you are. In which case, you have my sympathy.

[Detonator]

Merged this with the weather thread, because that's what this turned into.

No need to thank me.   

On topic: The DC area can get nasty and humid in summer, but other than that it's not much to complain about.

[Cthulhu-chan]

It can get as low as the mid 30s, up to the 110s.  Phoenix has achieved (barely) sub-freezing temperatures during the day, but it doesn't usually last long.  120+ usually only happens a few days out of the year, as well.  The concrete and asphalt sprawl seems to be trimming off the extremes, though.  Mostly in the favor of hot.

[Kashan]

Oklahoma Gets up to 104-5 once or twice a summer, though it was for two weeks straight this summer. And we usually go sub-zero for a while each winter, plus windchill.

[Thad]

Brutally hot-and-wet is a different kind of brutal than brutally hot.

You know, I was going to stick a disclaimer on my post to the effect of "I am going to stick the first motherfucker to say 'but it's a DRY heat' in my oven"...

Though one is mostly uncomfortable and the other is likely to cause heatstroke and cancer if you spend more than a half hour in it.

...but it seems like you're agreeing with me.

For example, someone who lives in a place where it's 30-100 (a range of 70) would win against someone who lived in a place where it's 50-115 (65) even though the latter is 15 degrees higher in Summer, because the former would have a bigger range for his/her body to adjust to, making the highs in Summer and the lows in Winter subjectively harder to bear.

In other words, mild winters and mild summers are worse than milder winters and skin-melting summers?  Afraid I'm going to have to disagree.

Now, if the range is fully 100 degrees, you probably have a point.  But I don't think there's any place on Earth that matches that description.

Does it not count because it only gets up for two straight weeks? (Honestly, that's enough to even satisfy a girl like me.)

No, you're right, those were bad numbers, and I pulled them out of my ass. How about -10 - 70 vs. 50-115? (Sub zero and mild summers vs mild winters and face melt summers.)

Again, don't get the idea I'm trying to imply you're not someone to complain about the weather. I've been to Arizona, Phoenix even (my uncle and some other extended family lives there) and I know how goddamn hot it is.
