Microgunner Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I feel for everyone trapped in the heat wave. Temps have been pretty mild here in central Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 It's been brutal here in CT. Today is our most hot and humid day of the year. I saved a tiny little tree frog today who was on the pavement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm gonna be pissed If its hotter there then fla lol. 92* right now 76% humidity and heat index of 99. Which is better then the past two days, some clouds rolled in and the wind picked up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I would generally love for it to be 92 in July here, but you can keep the 76% humidity. That is the unbearable part of your weather. I just checked and it is 92 here but only 44% humidity. That is still too high for my liking.

As a deer camp song from the U.P. states, "it's not so much the heat as it is the gosh darn humidity!!!" And it's sticky here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 97 here in Mass with 73% humidity, 8th day in a row over 95. Add 20* and that's work temps. I am par broiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, Do you live anywhere near Townsend or Littleton, MA? I have family up there, also in Hampton falls, NH. At least it isn't raining everyday up there.

texas30cal Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 We have had a lot of triple digits here already, its only mid 90's now and feels much better, but back to 102 plus next week, be careful everyone stay inside as much as possible.

That's not an option doing hvac/ refrigeration lol. Suppose to break here on Saturday back down in the high 70s low 80s thank god Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose to break here on Saturday back down in the high 70s low 80s thank god I feel your pain brother. I've staggered out of so many 130 degree attics, dripping wet from head to toe, nearly dehydrated and drooling uncontrollably, and covered in that crappy old blown insulation. Needless to say, I don't miss it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say, I don't miss it at all. I know all about it guys. I've been working all week in a rooftop chiller plant. A pair of 650 ton centrifugal's, associated pumps, electrical gear....plus a set of supplemental pumps for a separate cooling system. My god.......it's been about 10 degrees hotter inside than when I've stepped outside to take a break (and cool off). The DC metro area SUCKS in the summer time (well...all the time). The humidity usually tracks right along with the temperature. As Shepp noted.......come on fall.....I'm ready for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrtMA Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Supposed to be about 100 where I am in Ma tomorrow. I have so much yardwork to get done and I keep having to put it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you the mechanical rooms our refrigeration equipment is in is like a semi trailer with 8-12 small block electric engines running (compressors) and the high side pipes are also hot as poop!

sketch Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'm crying dust in the north west but barely touching 80 I'm used to the rain. Yesterday was around mid 70 and down poor for an hour that was sticky shnit but refreshing ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 This is why I'm glad I do commercial no house owners bullpoopy to deal with, no attic! Very lucky on your part. Residential techs usually get stuck with the worst two sides of a home to work in: The top, and the bottom. Neither are worth a flying fish turd 99.9% of the time.

sketch Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I left commercial for the residential because of stupid politics in house now I'm my own boss no more hard hats on hot ass days!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Yeah...hard hats have their place. This stupid "all the time and everywhere" poop is killing me. We wear them on sites where I am in the middle of open land (native...not even being graded)...just because some douche decided we will all be safer with a giant heat magnifier strapped to your noggin. Even when there is no risk of anything falling...out of the clear blue sky. Make sure you stay cool and watch for heat illness...right, but keep that bakeware on your head.

edgecrusher Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 You want to talk about work and heat? It's 2 am right now, the floor reads 103* with an IR gun, and my machine is 600*. Earlier we climbed inside and spent 45 mins in there changing metal screen filters. Yup, hot. And everything in here is water cooled, so 100% humidity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
