The Sun is scorching at the moment (At least relative to usual UK weather)

It's 30 degrees C inside my house, my PC's case temp is running at 40 degrees & my CPU temp is 52 degrees while idle/surfing the web. Too hot to run anything demanding :(

And I want to play some UT2004, some Counterstrike, and a bit of NASCAR2003, but I can't... coz I know I'll fry my PC... (Done it before, burnt out a Northbridge in the past by not watching my temps)

Bah!

I've got ice in the freezer, a Bottle of Voddy & half a bottle of Jim Beam sitting here.

Drink, Panzer Dragoon Orta, More Drink and so on from my couch. I ain't shifting :p

But damn I was in a PC games mood...

You're right, I'd better drink myself out of it :p

I think I still have some voddy left over from a party I had while my folks were on holiday, hmmm, I may crack into that tonight if it's still warm outside.

Yes, it is, relatively. When you spend most years never topping 24 degrees, and even that only for a few days a year and the average is 10-15 degrees, then yes. it is hot. to me.

Just as our usual climate is seen as "cold" by those who visit from hotter locations, whereas we just see it as "average".

I've seen people in India walking round in fricken wooly sweaters in temperatues that it never gets to in this country! it really is all relative.

100 F at noon in Phoenix right now. It'll get up to 108 today and that won't even be notably hot.

This summer has been soooo cold :( ... During the summer we are usually around 30 degrees. For the past few weeks we've been hitting 22-24 :( :( . And because of our winters (in Canada) I feel I deserve a hot summer dammit!

Looks like I'm going to Hawaii again for Christmas...

So sweaty, sticky icky… bleh!

Summer is one of the best things in my life. Fall, winter and even spring is just one long wait for the next summer. Man, I need to move south. :/

Humidity + 30 C = omfg. I walked out of my room in Japan and my body started to sweat the instant I stepped out -_-.

Yeah, humidity can make a BIG difference.

With humidity.. it reached 35C (95F) today in St. John's, NL. In fact, Doom III just crashed on me due to overheating. CPU is idling at around 50C and motherboard is 35C (It reaches 58C playing D3). It's usually <50C under load. :p

Greece: 38 degrees C. :p

PS. Actually I wouldn't be so proud of that temperature if I didn't have the air-condition running full speed 24/7, and the beach half an hour of driving...
