Its very nasty. I feel like an old bum is breathing on top of me.

Walking to the subway, then being on the platform waiting 10 minutes for the train was straight up horrible. My sweat was going thru my khaki pants and I know my ass was all wet lol. It was pretty embarrassing walking around like that.

It's absolutely disgusting outside, it's like the air has weight pushing on you from every angle possible.

We actually had a hot and humid thunderstorm where I am a few days ago, because of the heat.

Lighting came down and hit a tree a few people tried to take cover under (which is a terrible idea), and I believe 4 people are now in critical condition because of it.

I though Il Nina was supposed to keep summer cooler here and make winter brutal this year... Did it change and go the other way?

Global Warming man, nothing works like it is predicted to anymore.

Won't be surprised if this year's winter is even worse than last year's. Since GW causes extremes in the spectrum.

Worse in the sense that it's extremely mild right?

I'm talking more about extremes.

So while the winter may be mild I wouldn't be surprised if we see more extreme weather swings compared to last year.

The theory with il Nina is that it would defeat El Niño. So, possible either way. It said if we had a super hot summer winter should be mild.! If we had a mild summer, winter would be hell. The south would be cooler than the North in the scenario where summer is hell. So, mild winter is possible.

If your name is Nonoriri you have to go buy Nanami's tampons.
Yesterday I trekked down to Red Hook to eat at Hometown BBQ in the blazing heat, never again. (the food was totally worth it though)

I always love when north easterners complain about temps in the 90's. That's just a regular summer day out west. Hell, come September, that cool! lol :p

NYC is different. When it hits a humid 90 than its like you're trapped in a concrete sweatbox. It's hard to breathe. Also it felt like it must have been 110 yesteday

And out west we're in the desert climate where it holds the temperature longer and hotter. Bottom line, heat waves happen. Frequently. Every summer. I don't get why it continues to catch people off guard.

Yeah I grew up down near the Galveston area till I graduated highschool and today's heat/humidity is exactly like back there.

Miserable.

Sorry, but I'll take 110F any day over 90F + 100% humidity.

They aren't comparable at all. Dry heat is so much better.

I didn't want to get out of my car.

Glasses fogged the hell up as soon as I got out, lol.

Fortunately the AC is fixed at work so the day shouldn't be too bad.

It's actually in the 80s today in Houston though.

Also Houston is a shitjoke don't know why anyone lives there. (Rhetorical)

Houston beat NYC handily in a recent best places to live ranking.

I'm a NYC homer too and prefer it, but cost of living in Houston is nice.

The cost of living is the only good thing about Houston or Texas in general minus San Antonio and Austin.

It is one of the worst cities to live in, visit ect..

I would agree. I prefer DFW/Austin in terms of Texas cities.

Yeah it is. I don't mind it though. This is child's play compared to down south though. You know how we are always making fun of the south for their stupid 1inch snow emergencies? I'm determined that I won't be a hypocrite and whine about how hot 90 degree weather is.

But seriously, stay hydrated. I tried to golf yesterday and I failed pretty miserably.

Unfortunately this summer here has been brutally humid. Right now, at not even 7am, it feels like I'm in a steam room. lol

Philly gaf reporting in. It's hot but it doesn't bother me. I'd take this over the cold any day. Great way to wear a tank top and feel the sun on your skin.

It's actually pretty much the same as down south. (I grew up down near Galveston)

The only noticeable difference is down south you drive everywhere in NYC you walk.
