Too HOT!

Postby **Linksquest** » Tue May 30, 2006 5:40 am

It's been getting pretty hot here lately in Maryland.

It was so hot last night that I couldn't sleep.

Today the high is going to be 92 degrees fahrenheit!

Can you take heat? How hot is it in your area?

1. I can take the current heat we are having.

2. The weather site tells me it was 16 deg C today (60.8 deg F).

About 15,1 celsius here in Norway.

Gloabl warming...XD

Yeah this weekend in Michigan it's been about 90-95 every day. I was watching the NBA playoffs and noticed it was 83 in Arizonia...wierd.

It hasn't been quite as hot the last few days in western South Dakota, mid 70s to 80s. But we got an inch of rain sunday that really cooled things off. Usually it's high 80s and 90s.

I can't handle heat very well, I get heat exhaustion very easily. And I burn like mad when it's hot out. If it's in the 90s or hotter, I can burn even when in the shade.

Surprisingly, it hasn't been extremely hot down here in Fl. I don't go outside that much, but when I do, it's not sweltering.
I can handle heat sometimes. I can handle it better than the cold though.

Define "hot" for florida :lol:

It's pretty warm in Maryland, and it's getting annoying. The coolness of the school computer lap and my laptop keeps me feeling good.

Ah! So that's where you are typing this from. At first I was like "WHAT... you're skipping school on your birthday?!?!!" Get to your schoolwork, Ryan! :lol:

We finally put on the A/C just now. Our parents have this rule that we can't put it on unless the heat is unbearable... 92F is pretty bad, :lol:

It's in the upper 80's here in oHIo - about 20 degrees highr than normal. (That's around 30 degrees to our friends anywhere else in the world).

IT awfully hot here in New York. People either ahve no A/C or the thing is broken, whether it be house or car... pathetic... And I have an attic room and heat rises...

High of 86 expected today... thats just nice weather in So-cal. It'll be well into the 90's next week probably... so yeah. I like weather in the 70s and low 80s. Ironically enough I wen't home this weekend and it got down to 35 F one night.

Postby **Syreth** » Tue May 30, 2006 10:58 am

The weather has been strange lately. It's been raining off and on, but before that it got really warm, up in the 90's F.

I know you were joking, but what bugs me is that people believe this... Times of extreme heat is NOT a result of global warming, but cyclical weather patterns... In a number of years, we will have particularly mild seasons... It changes... Weather patterns go through cycles that are longer than people live, so they look at these changes as something permanent, but they aren't...

Global warming refers to the overall temperature on the surface of the earth... I believe it is something to the effect of one degree (celsius, I'm guessing) over the period of 100 years... While that is reason to worry for our great great etc grand children, it'll be a couple hundred years of that pattern before it's enough to do anything, and by that time, mankind's involvement in global warming will be so diminished, that we'll basically be a drop in the bucket compared to natural sources...

Oh, and while I'm ranting, the O-zone has next to NOTHING to do with Global Warming... O-zone filters UV light... Also, it is aparantly a pollutant when it's low in the atmosphere, and is a natural by-product of many industrial processes... Now, I'm not an engineer or a physicist, but I'm wondering... Why can't this be put to use, say in filling in that hole over Australia and reversing damage done by CFCs (which is very little, as of now, since holes form NATURALLY in the Ozone layer, though CFCs will damage it to where it can't repair itself... Eventually...) It's too bad we can't use the CFCs to eliminate the low atmosphere Ozone (and lowering pollution), and prevent it from reaching the Ozone layer...

To be a bit more in the spirit of this conversation, I LIKE the heat. I'm a big fan of hot summer days. It isn't the hottest yet, either... I don't like it when it's the ABSOLUTE hottest it gets really anywhere in california (not counting mountains), but the time leading up to that, I like...

hmm, i'm in Ohio too and we've had low 90's last few days. Personally I like it. Sure it gets a bit warm, but man...so nice & sunny. I'll take this over cold gloominess ANY day.

Yeah, just one thing though. During the last century it has been belived that the avrage tempature on the planet has risen by 1 degree celsius, but if current development continues it may result that during this century the average tempature may rise by 4-5 celsius. Resulting in bigger desert areas, melting them ice polars resulting that the level of the water will inncrease and food producion problems.

Things are fine in Norway now i quess. Nice temp and weather.

it's been like 91-92 degrees here the past few days.

I dont mind heat as long as I can swim and as long as the house has AC :lol:

I think it's actually in the 60s here in Kansas. It was warmer the past few days, but today it's rainy out. It feels like a warm rain to me though, I walked to the library earlier and wasn't all that cold.

That's interesting. Over here it isn't often below 80 and once we get into summer it will be 90+ all the time. Without air conditioning at my house, that can get fairly hot at times. This generally isn't a problem unless it is a humid heat or I need to do heavy physical activity for some reason.

It has been pretty hot here a couple weeks ago, but then clouds and rain set in and the climate change probably got me a little sick again :/ But the heat is heating up, being around 23 today supposingly (overcast right now though). It'll be a HOT summer though, is all I can say. Lats summer wasn't nearly as hot as the summer of 04, but I think 04 heat will return this year.

Here in TN its like 90-95 already -_-''

It's getting hot down here in south Florida. I hate it. I have hated Florida summers since as far back as I can remember. The heat, the humidity . . . eugh. I'm going to quit this state as soon as I get out of college . . . maybe Indiana where the family lives . . .

it got up to 31 degrees celsius (87 F) here in southern ontario (canada) and plus humidity it felt like 41 (105 F) instead lol phew it's getting hot lol but it's supposed to rain on thursday

Postby **Warrior4Christ** » Wed May 31, 2006 2:10 am

It's not a real summer unless it has a run of days over 43C (110F).

It was...so..muggy today...@.@; It wasn't hot..but...MUGGY!

we have no trees where I live..so it was really wierd!!!

Toronto is feeling the heat at 30 C the last few days, + humidity. Please rain soon.

Postby **Technomancer** » Wed May 31, 2006 6:18 am

The weather's been pretty hot here lately too. Today's a little better, I think it might rain thankfully. Unfortunately, living so close to Lake Ontario also means heavy humidity.

*edit: looking at the forecast, we should expect thunderstorms either today or tomorrow. It looks like it will cool down by Thursday.

Sadly, we also have a smog advisory in effect

Yes and no. The data from historical and paleoclimate sources indicates that the current temperature upswing has not only been extremely rapid, but is also without precedant over the past 1000 years.

Global warming refers to the overall temperature on the surface of the earth... I believe it is something to the effect of one degree (celsius, I'm guessing) over the period of 100 years...

That's an average value over the earth's surface. However, it's one that climate scientists feel will have a substantial impact. For example, we already know that it has greatly impacted the mass balance of glaciers around the world, as well as sea ice in Hudson's Bay and the north Atlantic. Similarily, there have been northward shifts of some biomes. A one degree warming trend does not mean that you can just add one degree centrigrade to whatever the weather is doing right now, you have to use it as a mean value (meaning that there may be much larger temperature upswings), and even then one must also consider the variance as well. In any event, if the new research is accurate, the warming trend may actually be substially larger given certain positive feedback effects (e.g. melting permafrost releases methane).

It's too bad we can't use the CFCs to eliminate the low atmosphere Ozone (and lowering pollution), and prevent it from reaching the Ozone layer...

It would be a nice idea. Incidentally, CFC's are also greenhouse gases.
