it's too hot

Post Reply New Topic

That's something I noticed today...

I love warmth, especially the tropical kind... but can't stand contact with direct sunlight.

It's already in the 90s here, and it's only June 1st.

Come late August-early September, it will approach 100 degrees here.

For a year, I lived in Wichita Falls, Texas (which is as far to the northwest as one can get in Texas without actually being in the Panhandle).

Temperatures are usually in the 105-110 range up there, and have approached 120 at times. Fortunately, there is virtually no humidity.

I currently live in San Marcos, in the Texas Hill Country. It's a little more humid than WF, but much drier than my native Houston.

It's supposed to be 90 F / 32 C tomorrow here

I'm also in the UK and too hot!

It's annoying, because when it's sunny, I feel happy and warm (I often feel too cold) and want to sit in the sunshine, but when I do I overheat without realising and start to feel ill. And I get sunburn. And the very dry skin on my hands feels worse. I'm usually okay indoors, or walking outside for short periods of time.
Last night was just too hot, though. It didn't have the nice sunny feel, just too hot.

Next door's cat often comes into our house so we see her a lot and she seems fine in this heat, despite being a black cat (shorthair though).

Good idea to put a cushion in the freezer. I will remember that, it might be useful.

We better not have another heatwave. I don't do well in temperatures above 25C

Far too hot for what I'm used to in Newcastle.

Bought myself a desk fan, and it feels better than sex.

I'm gonna rant here a little bit about heat.

I grew up in chicago, live here now, but went to school in Tucson, and during the summers we lived in vegas. 2 hottest cities in the US last I checked. When I moved down there after high school, to tucson, everyone badgered me about the heat, like 'oh man, how do you like the heat? bad huh? what'll you spend a whole summer here!'
But the heat down there is nothing. Ya it gets up to 100+ regularly. But its so dry, you dont feel it. I'd take 110 degree heat in tucson any time over 90 degree and 100% humidity we get here in chicago on a regular basis. When you can walk out and feel the air its so thick and humid. And those days it does hit 100+ it's awful! Also, down there in the desert, as hot as it gets during the day, it still drops to the 50s and 60s at night. Awesome sleeping weather.

It's kind of hot here too, 25 Celsius or such. I like that, but it gets too hot for me to stay in the sun for too long. It's very seldom that I spend a whole day out in the sun, sometimes I'll stay inside even when it's hot outside. (And nobody understands it and ask if I'm not going to go out in the sun... I know it's an NT-smalltalk-thingy, but I can't help thinking, why do I have to explain it every time, am I not the one to decide that, couldn't it be that I had been there already or was going to do it later, or do you expect me to be out all day long, or... yeah, the aspie mind strikes again... )

But anyway, I haven't got the time to be outdoors for hours because I work to finish my thesis (at theology).

But my room gets very hot in the evening because I get all the evening sun, and then have to sleep with an open window. Then it helps, but can be hot anyway. I then don't lie under my quilt, except from my head which I wrap tightly in the quilt for sensory reasons.
And when the birds start singing at 4 a.m. it wakes me (and the sun rises short time after), and then I may be awake for some hours and fall asleep again and have a difficulty getting up early.

BTW any other knows that annoying situation that people always ask "why don't you go out in the sun / the good weather?" What do you answer?

i might move to arizona one day, i have good dreams about the heat there!

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.
