shepp Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Hope everyone's staying cool, It's hotter then a fresh fucked fox in a forest fire here! Ready for fall!!!!! Edited July 18, 2013 by shepp
Microgunner Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 I feel for everyone trapped in the heat wave. Temps have been pretty mild here in central Florida.
imschur Posted July 18, 2013 Report 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
shepp Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report 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.
Armed Eye Doc Posted July 18, 2013 Report 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.

I just checked and it is 92 here but only 44% humidity. That is still too high for my liking. I can do that!! 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
edgecrusher Posted July 18, 2013 Report 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.

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 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
Matt.Cross Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 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 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.

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.
jrtMA Posted July 19, 2013 Report 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.
Carne Frio Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 I hope your heat wave doesn't last too long, but:

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! Yes yes I know is summer but I live in Wisconsin aka the frozen tundra wtf?!?
sketch Posted July 19, 2013 Report 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 !
Matt.Cross Posted July 19, 2013 Report 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 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!!
DNP Posted July 19, 2013 Report 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 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
planeflyer21 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Meanwhile, in Tucson...we're about 15-20 degrees below our normal summer temps right now. :banana:
Magwa Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 We are lit up here in the Northwest hot 98 with 102 tomorrow I am typing at 4.00 in the am ...garden likes it ....
