Just hot how is it right now?
Well... Let's see...
- The temperature this week has hit 40 degrees or over every day. That's 104F, for you metrically-challenged folks out there.
- My air conditioner has been on, continuously, since Tuesday morning (it's now Friday, so that's coming up on 4 days without interruption). It is working its arse off, and has managed to keep the temperature in my house at a wonderfully cool 30 degrees (86F).
- I bought chocolate yesterday, and was genuinely worried that it might melt during my 30 second walk back to my office building.
- Elf is not asking to go outside. At all. He tried a few times earlier in the week, but as soon as I opened the door, he was hit with a heat wave, and ran away to hide.
- Walking home from the shops yesterday evening (7:30 pm), my five minutes out of the house walking at a leisurely pace was enough that my hair was literally dripping sweat onto the floor when I got inside. (And can I just say: Ewww!)
- Yesterday, the state apparently used more electricity than it has ever used before. Mostly on air conditioning.
- Had I gone outside at 3am this morning, and had I stood stark naked under a water fountain, I still wouldn't have felt too cold.
Anyone want to swap climates?
