Title: hot in Paris
Post by: Krusher on August 05, 2003, 12:35:00 PM: Forecasters said thermometers in Paris could break through the symbolic 40 degrees Celsius mark (104 Fahrenheit) -- which has happened only once before in the 130 years of modern-day record-keeping.

Heck that sounds like a nice cool summers day in Texas!

Seriously, if your not used to that kind of heat stay inside. Heat stroke is no fun.

Post by: _Schadenfreude_ on August 05, 2003, 01:31:39 PM: By the way I did happen to notice that even though Liberia has been a steadfast ally to the USA for over 60 years including acting as a major base for America during WW2, now that they have asked for help from USA, begged for assistance the USA has refused to give it.

So if you want to start complaining about allies not giving support and back stabbing perhaps a closer look at the policies of your own country could do with a little inspection.

The best one I saw was a couple of French extraction, who ran a French Restaurant in Florida went out of business - hey their families had only been in America for 200 odd years but gosh they were serving FRENCH food so deserved what they got - do you people ever think??? Are you THAT stupid??

That's what's called a rhetorical question - I'm pretty sure I know the answer.

er it's around 30 degrees here and we keep getting warned about heat stroke by men in white coats on the tv, also trains are now running at 60mph whilst on our side of the channel - as soon as they cross over they speed up to 186mph - we're a bit grumpy about the whole business....

This statement of yours is pure BS. Liberia as a country did not ask us to help against aggression from another country.

Some liberians want to use our troops to kill or oppress some other liberians. We have no obligation as an ally to take sides in their civil war.

Here it is a measley 90 degrees...BUT, with the sun shining the humidity is at 70%.

Off I went to my humidex conversion chart (http://www.physlink.com/Reference/Weather.cfm) and lo and behold (after Celcius/ Fareignheit conversion) this actually equates to a temperature of 112.8 degrees.

So, who is a wimp now?

It's hot in DFW. However, has anyone lived in Houston? Whew...

How do any of us Texans like the way women dress here this time of year? :)

Houston is more of a party town than DFW. I fondly remember the Icehouses.

Post by: Steve on August 05, 2003, 06:20:49 PM: Humidity index? Geez.. sounds like an excuse to make it sound hotter. It's 112 here today, before any "humidity index".
Title: hot in Paris
Post by: Lazerus on August 05, 2003, 06:46:10 PM: It was only 92 here today, but the humidity was between 90 and 100% all day.

On another note, I worked a job hanging seamless gutters in AL in the mid 90's. The hottest summer on record in AL the year I did this. We took a thermometer up on a roof one day, 145 degrees. When I got home, I would go sit on the porch in the shade. It was, on average, in the low 90's on the porch. Too damn cold inside for me with the thermostat set at 74.

Honestly man...90 degrees isn't a fair comparison to your 112 unless you take the humidity into account.

I'd personally prefer the 90 degrees and humidity though, do you actually live in the desert or something?

I live in the Phoenix area ( so does Steve), desert climate and terrain this part of the state.... or are you asking if he lives out in the raw, open desert? :)

This time of year we get the 110-118 plus the humidity of the monsoon season.

We had one year with 173 days over 100..... most years have about 100-140 or so days of 100+

That being said, I just got back from Florida and some parts were around 85-90 degress with 90% humidity and I would have to say I prefer 115 over that. But even when it's humid here, it seems not as bad.......sea air maybe?
Title: hot in Paris
Post by: cpxxx on August 05, 2003, 08:34:40 PM: It was the hottest day of the year so far and expecting it hotter tomorrow. An incredible 29C or 86f :confused: The whole of Europe is on sweltering or on fire and we get a measly 29C. Britain is expecting a 100f day on wednesday. We'll get thunderstorms.

I remember being in Tennessee some years ago. The heat and humidity was almost unbearable. Actually they closed the schools it was so hot. I was standing in hangar doorway. When I suddenly felt a burning in my feet. I was in the shade but my feet weren't. Tip: Don't wear black shoes in a hot climate. Oooow!

I was in Pheonix once, but in January.

I'll never forget looking out of the window of the plane when we were landing and freaking out at the landscape. I thought we were landing on the moon. :) Never seen anything like it in my life.

Great city Pheonix, had a great time, and I was there auditing a software company believe it or not! :) My colleague and I were so hung over one morning that we got into a laughing fit and simply couldn't stop. The reaction on the faces of the staff was quite funny. Here was two disheveled accountants laughing our heads off first thing in the morning, while there to look at their accounting records. :) I don't think they quite know how to take it.

Post by: Trikky on August 06, 2003, 03:23:11 AM: The trains here in the UK are crawling around like snails due to the heat warping the rails. The rail companies involved blame it on the 'wrong kind' of heat and that it's a European wide problem.

When asked to comment, Deutsche Ban said the only summertime problem in Germany was with the air conditioning sometimes struggling to cope. The French SNCF spokesman said 'We only slow down for accidents, otherwise all our trains are running at the normal 215 mph'.

Passengers on the London Underground are sometimes traveling in temperatures hotter than the legal limit for transporting animals, with ambulances on alert in case a train stops in a tunnel for any length of time (a not uncommon event) causing passengers to keel over with heatstroke.

The roads are melting, and adding to the gridlock are an extra 500 lorries a day criss crossing the UK carrying important ice cream supplies to tourists.

I could go on but I'm sitting here sweating in my skiddies at 9.30am and finding it difficult to concentrate. It reminds me of the Robin Williams character in Good Morning Vietnam...'Man its hot! I just saw two little guys dressed in orange burst into flames!'

Post by: Holden McGroin on August 07, 2003, 08:11:26 AM: There is a story about a riot in a small Texas town, and the mayor requested Texas Ranger support. The state sent a Ranger to handle the situation.

The mayor of the town saw only one Ranger, and asked him why there was only one Ranger to respond.

The Ranger said, "Yall got only one riot don chya?"
