Hot in the city tonight (1 Viewer)

[Buzzo]

Tomorrow it's 40 degrees here. I think I'll move into the bath and have a bowl of ice for dinner. It's too hot to go to work like. I'm sure loads of yis have been in this kind of heat before but I'm just flabbergasted. It's gonna be 30degrees at 6am! WHAT IN GODS NAME!?!?!

It's too fuckin warm to do anything but sit in the dark in your jockies and sweat. It breaks down barriers when you sit around panting, red-faced with new friends.

Hope winter is cool and porcelain cheeked over there.

Over here it was raining last time I checked

as you can see you're missing all the action

Where are you Buzzo?

It has been a perfect, damp morning here thus far.

I'm in Melbourne. It's been one of the coolest summers they've had in years until today. I'm gonna go watch Purple Rain in the dark with a fan on for the rest of the evening, probably not sleep, wake up tomorrow and walk around being shocked and thrilled. '40 degrees lads... it's like, minus a million in Ireland'.

I like hotness but 40ºC is probably taking the piss a little. nice morning here. and by nice I mean not pissing aids from the sky. which means I have to hoover out the inside of my car. hooray for everything.

One of my favorite calls home when i was living in the northern australia:

Me: So what's the weather like at home?
Ma Fren: Well, being summer, it was about 15 degrees, myself and the young fella went down the park and everyone was out sunbathing. Lovely. How's it over there?
Me: Well it's about 11am, so being winter, it's about 40 degrees, but everyone's hoping it'll warm up later on.

I left in october, my last day we put the thermometer thing outside (it was 41 indoors) and it stopped working when it got to 59. Ah, territory winters.

That is impressive considering just under 58c is the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth.

Ah, the great summer of 1887, 33 degrees in Kilkenny. Roasters it was. And I thought August 1995 was hot.

Yes but:

we put the thermometer thing outside

Aren't temperature readings usually taken in the shade?

 

[Scientician 0.8]

I dunno.

 

[RSJ]

I dunno.

Snared rapid.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Nah, not really.

I got stuck in 55 in the shade in the far away land of the mid-east, more than once. That's strange territory, the universe inverts itself at that temperature. 65 in the sun.

if you put those thermometer things in the direct sunlight would they just keep getting hotter and hotter and be totally inaccurate?

expected high of 21 degrees here today. disappointing. i find i get sunburned very quickly down here though (new zealand) and even when its not that hot you can feel the sun prickling your skin. i have a very uncool looking sun hat.
