Yesterday was brutal here, 42°c with a humidex of around 50°. I just went outside to walk to the bank and back which is only about a 10 minute walk and I was soaked once I got home. That's like 107f. In Ontario? That's crazy. Man I wonder if the world is changing weather patterns and we're going into some kind of 'Tropical age'? Bring on the Ice Age right now! Around here, it was around that, but 50°C is about 122° (factoring in the humidity). it was simply unbearable the other day.

Consider yourself lucky when the temperature in Scotland is pretty much 8°C year round.

Here's it's been over 100 every day for the past 2-3 weeks. My A/C is set at 71. My house is around 80. My ancient, beast of an A/C can't keep up at all. There seems to be no end in sight for us. I spent last weekend at my cousin's wedding in San Francisco. It was 70 degrees the entire weekend. I almost didn't come home.

I've been on vacation this week, but I can't do anything. Its too damn hot! (I live in Northern NJ, by the way). I tried going to Dorney Park last night, but it was 100 at 6PM, and 99 at 7PM. You only got a hot breeze from the rides. It was awful! I got called into work this morning (loading UPS trucks at 5:00AM) and by 5:20, I was a soaking mess. I just woke up form a huge power nap and was glad that my migraine was gone. Luckily, I have a corner bottom floor apartment with a concrete floor. It stays cool & damp and I rarely need to turn the A/C on. What one earth is a " power nap"?

"Intense Heat Could Result in Record Highs Friday
As another hot air mass moves east, record highs are forecast for Friday and Saturday."

It hasn't really been 100+ in Sac but it has been upper 90s so it sucks.
And add in to it that my stupid car AC choose to die it sucks going anywhere.
But that will get fixed tomorrow.
I think I'm going to go swimming right now with my brother; who cares if it is late.. it's still hot!

It rained for several hours yesterday and I thought for sure it was going to break the heat wave. It didn't. Yesterday it only got to about 95-96 because of the rain. Today it's back to being over 100 again. To make matters worse, I found out that my entire A/C unit needs to be replaced before winter and will set me back about $4k. Really not happy about that at all.

A power nap is a short sleep which terminates before the occurrence of deep sleep or slow-wave sleep (SWS), intended to quickly revitalize the subject
