80 degrees at 5:00 AM in the Philadelphia suburbs

Brutal

 

[FreedomFighter]

I'm in that danger zone and it is probably the worst I've ever experienced. It's nearing Dubai in July levels of heat and humidity.

100 degrees in NYC is exponentially more hellish than 125 in Southern California.

The humidity absolutely destroys you.

This. People need to learn the difference between dry heat and humidity

 

[HyperCroutons]

Even western NY has been brutal hot with high humidity, pretty much 90 degrees with over 75% humidity for days now. Also for anyone doing work or activity outside make sure to stay hydrated already saw some people get heat illnesses the past few weeks.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Excessive heat. This heat is more than what is needed.

 

[jetpacks was yes]

In NYC. This weather suuuucks. Our five year anniversary is today and to top it off my wife is five months pregnant so she's warm enough as it is. Can't go anywhere outside haha. :/

 

[Liljagare]

Meanwhile, northern Sweden allready had its first snow and frost.

I hate the short summers, but dang, that temp is nasty.

 

[Alcotholic]

I don't remember previous Summer's being this awful in the 5 years I've lived in NYC. It's too much.

 

[peteykirch]

i'm using the intense here in NJ to prepare for my trip to Disney World the first week of September.

Figure I should try and go out and do some walking around for a while so I'm used to flesh melting temps and humidity.

 

[CHC]

This summer has actually been pretty damn nice in NYC up until now. Now.... it's hot. It's hot.

 

[Trojita]

I had to pick up my car at a dealership. It was left out in the hot sun.

The car reported it was 117 degrees out.

Dogs can't even sweat man.

To a point. I've been in Vegas when it was 110+. I'll take 97 with 50% humidity thanks.

 

[supermarioworldE]

Another New Yorker here, and I can indeed feel the heat and humidity. Im already not a fan of summers in the city, but after this month, Im gonna have an even greater appreciation for the fall.

 

[Matty77]

Second day of intense thunderstorms, gotta love that NE weather.

 

[gdt]

AC? Dun got one of those.

Personally I think the worst thing in all of this is the weather reporting calling for rain every day... and then there is none. Like do I risk putting out the money to go swimming and then it pours 5 minutes after I get there or do I not go an sit home high & dry like I did today -_-?

How do you live up here without an ac?

 

[Jedi2016]

Mid-90s, huh? That's cute. We've had triple digits here in central Texas for the last week. Heat indexes north of 110. Welcome to the club.

 

[WedgeX]

I'd take some thunderstorms.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

DC area here and I'm At my rooftop pool now. Real feel is 108. There's a strong breeze so it doesn't feel like it and the pool is nice and cold but when the breeze pauses, you feel it. I can confirm that it is indeed very hot.

 

[slider]

How's it feel in the evenings? Comfortable enough to meet up with friends for a drink or two?

I'm flying into NYC tomorrow and damn... I'm not good with the sun.

 

[Regiruler]

I had a company picnic yesterday. Even at 8 at night out in the countryside it was 90 and humid as an armpit.

I had to stay still enough so I generated minimal internal heat in an effort to cool myself.

 

[Lkr]

I can confirm this report; swamp-ass is an epidemic in Boston ATM. Humidity yesterday was disgusting, AND it was 96 at the same time.

I go through 3+ pairs of underwear a day in the Florida summer.

 

[Cellbomber]

DC's always humid in the summer so nothing abnormal except the extremely high base temp. We usually have a few of these periods each year though.

High heat is definitely worse in compact cities like here, NY and Philly since that concrete holds the heat. High humidity at nighttime is the worst though.

I was in Southern CA recently and could stay outside in 90+ degree weather without breaking a sweat.

 

[Matty77]

I'd take some thunderstorms.

It actually just stopped beyond a light drizzle and some faraway rolling thunder, but it's still soup out.

You must be in VA on a building that high (think you said 23rd floor earlier)...there is no breeze ground level and if so it's not doing anything.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Made the mistake of walking around in the sun for 20 minutes, and now I'm sunburned all over my shoulders and neck.

Dammit, NYC.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Thank god this Hell Summer is over. Onwards to Frozen Hell!

I can put on two pairs of gloves, but I cant take my skin off

 

[sikkinixx]

the least coast stays losing. I'll take potential earthquakes and insane housing prices over the hellscape that is the east coast during summer.... and during winter.

 

[Kibbles]

Not even close. SoCal humidity is nothing in comparison to the east coast hellscape. A layover in Jersey was enough to make me question people's sanity for actually living there. I literally could not do it.

Thank goodness for Colorado, fuck humidity.

Yeah I was worried when it was in the 100s during my trip to Vegas earlier this summer but it actually felt a lot better than the 80-90s here in Wisconsin lol fuck humidity.

 

[AbsolutBro]

Dropping $40-$50 a day on ice trying to keep my animals cool. Fuck this weather.

 

[vatstep]

It's So Hot Out Cockroaches Might Start Flying in NYC

All American cockroaches have wings and the ability to take flight, but don't typically do so unless they're in humid climates. It's a common sight in the Deep South, where some call the flying roaches "palmetto bugs." The term comes from the bugs' tendency to hang out in -- and fly out of -- palmetto and palm trees.

RIP

 

[WedgeX]

DC tied the 8/13 high temperature record with 101 degrees which had been recorded back in 1881.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

It's 110 degrees here right now

i hate arizona so much lol

 

[smokeandmirrors]

It's 110 degrees here right now

i hate arizona so much lol

ill trade 110 dry heat for this humidity bullshit every time.

Yup, Arlington. Having the pool on the rooftop really is clutch. Also dangerous; sometimes makes you forget you're being cooked alive.

 

[Arc]

Totally cool and overcast in Boston right now but tomorrow should hit 99.

 

[Lindsay]

Still hot an dry! It rained for 1 minute yesterday but yeah... keep up the good work summer! Even if I am sitting here feeling kinda sick lol. Got alot to make up for since 2014/2015 summers were crap!
