Man, it's Hot here in NYC! - SteveG - 07-18-2013
The sun glaring down makes it hotter (stay in the shade) and who knows what Manhattan is headed for as the heat radiates back from the solid stone and concrete environs. Care for some ice in that drink?

Yeah, you guys are hotter than here in Atlanta.
Hope the weather breaks soon.

Actually, it's supposed to be WORSE tomorrow.

Only 93 degrees F. in Minneapolis, but with 45% humidity.

I was about to say "quit whining", but 99 in NYC is hot, so you just go ahead and keep on whining.

What is the problem, not even triple digits yet... :devil:

I guess you won't want to hear about how I had to shut the windows in the office earlier today because of the drafty chills coming in from off the ocean...

I must say, the air conditioning on subways is great. The problem is you have to get off - and the stations are much hotter than street level.
Re: Man, it's Hot here in NYC! - DP - 07-18-2013
Yup. 91º here, 53% humidity, dew point 72º, heat index 98º. Severe storms tomorrow, then 70's and 80's...

"One of the extraordinary things about life is the sort of places it's prepared to put up with living. Anywhere it can get some kind of a grip, whether it's the intoxicating seas of Santraginus V, where the fish never seem to care whatever the heck kind of direction they swim in, the fire storms of Frastra where, they say, life begins at 40,000 degrees, or just burrowing around in the lower intestine of a rat for the sheer unadulterated hell of it, life will always find a way of hanging on in somewhere.
It will even live in New York, though it's hard to know why.In the winter time the temperature falls well below the legal minimum, or rather it would do if anybody had the common sense to set a legal minimum. The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in at number 79.
In the summer it's too darn hot. It,s one thing to be the sort of life form that thrives on heat and finds, as the Frastrans do, that the temperature range between 40,000 and 40,004 is very equable, but it's quite another to be the sort of animal that has to wrap itself up in lots of other animals at one point in your planet's orbit, and then find, half an orbit later, that your skin's bubbling.
...
Fall, though, is the worst. Few things are worse than fall in New York. Some of the things that live in the lower intestines of rats would disagree, but most of the things that live in the lower intestines of rats are highly disagreeable anyway, so their opinion can and should be discounted. When it's fall in New York, the air smells as if someone's been frying goats in it, and if you are keen to breathe, the best plan is to open a window and stick your head in a building.
