Is hot, its damn hot!

[DJC]

From my brother in LA:

Yesterday was the hottest day in downtown LA since records began (around 100 years).

113 Fahrenheit
45 Celcius

It was 109 in Orange County.

The car read 128 when I set off to go home - it was parked under a tree in the shade all day with the sunscreen over the front windows and the sunroof closed/covered.

IT WAS HOT

It's cooled off today, only 93 so I've got the roof down.


Thats a bit warm for me!

It's not fun being in those temperatures, though humidity tends to amplify it for me - Dubai at circa 50 with 100% humidity is a killer.
40, with little humidity is about the limit of my comfort zone.

Yeah, the car showed 54C recently but it's the humidity that does it for me (that and the burning bald spot on my head )

The steps leading to my villa are this granite/marble type stuff. It is so hot you cannot stand bear foot on them for 1 second. I kept telling the mrs you could fry an egg, but never got round to doing it. I'd wager it is easily done though.

I often wondered this whilst living abroad... give it a go and post pics for us of the result :-)

I can't even begin to comprehend how hot 113 Fahrenheit must feel.

I was in Vegas the other week and that was supposed to have been about 95, the heat in the sun was incredible. We went out to Grand Canyon, that felt even hotter!!

I got married on a beach, it was 42 degrees when we eventually left the beach for the reception.

Photo's looked goo though

Well it's around 8 degrees celcius in Aberdeen today.

Pah! Bloomin amateurs! It's been over 40C almost every single day here for the past three months, only getting a bit more sensible now. Humidity is brutal though, around 70% today. Highest seen in the car is 55C.

Roll on winter!

As mentioned earlier, it's really all down to humidity. I was in Phoenix when it was 110 but, because it's so dry, it was absolutely fine. I was sweating a lot, obviously, but it wasn't in the least bit uncomfortable.

It's cooled down alot recently.... a mere 40 or so today.

This may just be me being a little thick, but surely 100% humidity would mean your underwater!

Did took you half an hour though.

Can anyone elaborate on the humidity thing? 100% does seems like he would be underwater to me...

there is no "humidity" level, it is "relative humidity" which means the amount of water the air could hold at it's current temperature, as air heats up it's ability to retain water vapour changes, so 100% humidity would mean that at the temperature it is, the air would not be able to retain any more water vapour.

It felt bloody cold coming home from Thailand today
