Heat Dome - June 2024

[Ben]

Thank fuck the rain has cooled things a bit. The sooner Summer is over though, the better.

You're lucky, the rest of the continent is looking drier than a camel's codpiece.



It's probably raining on @Jawneh, though.

We had the remnants of Hurricane Beryl bring us rain, so we kinda got lucky there.

 

[Mark]

You mean the sale, or the corpse..?

Because not the sale, no.

I knew it was going to be about the reservoir as soon as I saw Rochester and corpse together, though. That's where my partners family are, so I definitely heard about the story.

I immediately showed it to my old lady and said “look, these guys aren’t used to finding bodies in water like we are here”.

The wind is helping here, but it’s gonna rain. All of the leaves are already turned up.

Yeah, but that doesn’t mean shit with these pop-up thunderstorms we get during the summer.



Meanwhile… here we are with this Windows XP wallpaper scenery.



Guess that’s why people here always say “don’t like the weather? Give it a minute.”

It's not supposed to hit me with rain until late this evening into tomorrow morning.

True. I understand weather about as much as I do politics at this point.

I don't.

 

[Mark]

I don't.

Well, the Appalachian Mountains tend to help cook up those storms that hit us from the west, the Great Lakes contribute to that as well. When you’re closer to the coast, the ocean helps them brew up, and then they hit us from the east. That’s about all I have to offer as far as my meteorology knowledge goes.

Basically… you picked a fun part of the country to land on, because on the east coast we get hit from both the ocean and the mountains. I’d assume it’s similar out west, but, I’ve never been.

What I'm finding annoying is that whenever it's cooler than what I have my AC set to at night, there is no wind, making taking the time to open windows before I go to bed and turning off the AC pointless. Tonight, the low is 68. My AC is set to 75. But if I open the windows, my house isn't going to get cooler.

Box-fan in the window? That's what I was doing while mine was broken, but then you've got to deal with humidity more.

No box fan, unfortunately. Ceiling fans only seem to be good at circulating the air in the room their in but not at moving air around beyond. I have a single tower fan.

Yup. With thunder and lightning. Also as an added treat there's a tornado watch for the day.

 

[Mark]

Finally, some relief from the heat.

 

[Mark]

Y’all ready for more?

 

[a dip goblin]

Nope. I'm headed north.

Looking forward to next Saturday, I'll have my sweater ready!!

[Ben]

All in all not too bad at the lake... Though I'd take some rain.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

90 today, 97 tomorrow, 99 on Monday, 92 on Tueasday, then t-storms and temps dropping into the 80s for the rest of the forecast, with lows in the 60s. Hopefully I can open the windows and turn off the AC at those nights.

 

[Ben]

On the bright side...

 

[MC74]

And back to this bullshit again.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

We have triple digit temps AND high humidity in the forecast tomorrow. Not fun.

 

[Ben]

Not as bad as some have it tomorrow, but it's still going to be a bitch. I feel for anyone who has to like... Go outside. I'll be doing my best not to.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

sounds like a blast

 

[Mark]

80 degrees before 9am. Not uncommon elsewhere, but very rare here. It was a beautiful night last night, though. Nice breeze, mild temps, low humidity. The contrast is wild, I dunno how you folks out in the SW do it…

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Rain all day today. Forecast all the way until 9am tomorrow.

 

[MC74]

Calls for another thunderstorm here, but humidex values has the heat clocked at 40 degrees for today and tomorrow again.

 

[Ben]

This was a frigging storm. Hit right as I was getting out of court, and I was driving straight towards lightning strikes in the distance the whole time. Dark enough to need headlights at 5:30pm.

Then it started pissing it down right as I pulled into my driveway, to where I was drenched in the 2 seconds it took to jump out of my car and through the garage door.

10 minutes later, the sun was shining, so go figure. I got the hardest yet thinnest part of the storm.

 

[dimmerwit]

Hottest day of the year so far?

Hot weather will be peaking for many parts of the United Kingdom on Friday, with 31C possible in some spots.

One day only!

 

[MC74]

Another day with temperatures in the mid-late 30s. Gross.

 

[Crystal]

...I'm going to use this in place of age now. I'm not getting older, I'm getting hotter. I'm in my mid-late 30s, baking towards a high of 40.

 

[a dip goblin]

I'm about to leave the lovely temperatured Vermont to head back into a warmer lifestyle.

Oh well.

It ain’t too hateful now. From here to there should be pretty tolerable the next several days.

 

[MC74]

Calls for another 40 degree heat wave up until Wednesday.

Damn you for making me look at our forecast…

I guess the 90’s aren’t so hateful after the week before.

Nope, and this is reminding me of how Goddamn hot it was in 2021. I hate that and can't wait until this dreadful season is over. Gimme Autumn back!

Right?! The fall was great here last year, very mild and comfortable compared to the abrupt transition from Summer to Winter that I’m used to.

 

[MC74]

 

[MC74]

Doubt I'll be getting any sleep again tonight. I can't sleep when it's this hot.

 

[MC74]

 

[MC74]

37 here again today FFS. Calls for a thunderstorm watch though.

37 here again today FFS. Calls for a thunderstorm watch though.

If it’s the same system of storms we got last night, it ended up raining sideways for a good hour or so before it cut out, and then the humidity spiked right back up.

 

[dimmerwit]

That would be 37 in the sun though, which isn't quite as rough.

Sadly, not even the thunderstorms are helping that much. Summer just needs to fuck off.

Oh I know, summer storms always drove up the humidity around here. It seems to be a little less prominent now that I’m further out west, but it’s still definitely noticeable after a storm.

[Fool's Requiem]

I hate this fucking weather. I can't do shit outside when I actually want to. Even yesterday it was more bearable, it was still hot enough to make me sweat and for the bugs to want to fly in my face.
