AimParticipant
This was in a location that had been shady since noon. Taken at 5pm as you can see.
GOOD GOD it’s hot.
A trick: put a bowl of ice cubes in front of a fan. Instant AC.

jamminjMemberOk, I love visiting vegas during the summer months to experience the extreme heat (usually a rarity)… but here in SEATTLE???? no thank you. At least in normally hot weather areas, EVERYONE has air conditioning.
Just no help from the heat, except a bathtub full of ice cubes.
Even going to the movies today, better than outside, but still not cool.

pigeonmomParticipantWaaaaa! I can’t STAND IT!! :@ I can’t afford to go anywhere air conditioned and I have dogs to look after.
We are all miserable.

rockhillsMemberI’m storing wet washcloths in the freezer and switching them out to put on the back of my neck–a few moments of bliss with each one before it thaws out and warms up.

JenVMembertried the bowl of ice cubes in front of the fan. they melted. ;)
right now I am with rockhills – bandana, freezer, wrap around head, repeat.

pigeonmomParticipantOh crap, our ice maker can’t keep up with demand. We will not have enough for tomorrow.

YardvarkMemberI’m just living in the basement. It’s actually a really nice 75 degrees, I’d say. Little smelly, but I’ll take the trade-off. Upstairs, I just start sweating.

EmmyJaneParticipantMy car (which wouldn’t lie to me… don’t even suggest it) registered 109 down at Southcenter.

JayDeeParticipantIt’s cooling down here (79 on the deck in upper alki), and I have opened the windows, and turned on the box fan. Earlier today driving up 35th and over Charlestown, the car said it was 107. Yes, extreme, but not too far off. At 6:30 it had dropped to 103 at the Admiral Safeway, and down to 99 by Schmitz Park. Another night in the new master basement…

EmmyJaneParticipantTonight is the first time I’ve ever been the only one at Westcrest Dog Park.

HollyWilcoMemberCrazy that it’s hotter in Seattle then southern Florida… bletch! Pounding water & craving watermelon!

datamuseParticipantMy husband bought an air mattress this afternoon and we are sleeping on our deck.

rockhillsMemberHeaded up to the roof for a nap.
July 30, 2009 at 8:33 am #673258
JoBParticipantlong night. longer day tomorrow.

JiggersMemberI love hot weather because my skin feels better, but this is absurd. The heat sucks the energy right out of you. No winds makes it worse. You need to almost make a plan before you move anywhere so you don’t tire yourself quickly.

bsmommaParticipantAMEN Datamuse! It was like Michigan yesterday…. except we were missing the pools and EVERYONE having AC! I remember getting yelled at by Grandma to “Shut the Damn Door! You’re gonna let the Heat in!” Aaaaahhh, memories.
July 30, 2009 at 11:08 pm #673261
pigeonmomParticipantFrom a former Michigander here. I appreciate the fact that we don’t have the intense humidity and mosquitoes here. We didn’t have AC when I was growing up but I DID spend ALL summer at the community pool!
