I can't remember Britain ever actually being this hot.

[clo_again]

Though it probably has, I just don't remember it. It just doesn't feel like that now.

Came upstairs about 8pm and it was so hot, it felt like just breathing was a trial. So I lay down to sleep out the worst of the heat and now it's almost 1am, I'm awake again, and I can't tell if it's cooled down at all. I'm wondering if sleeping out on the lawn is an option already and it's not meant to cool down 'til Friday... only to get hot again Sunday.

I was serious about that Antartica question you know.

Since I'm awake - just - and since it's probably cooler now than it'll be for most of the day, I'm going to try and catch up with fic comments and such for a while. I want air conditioning. Perhaps I'll just go sit in a shop with it in town tomorrow and just not move. Mmmmm.

Will stop bitching about the heat now, I swear. Okay, mostly.

WIMP! Granted, I don't know what the temperature is there, but still. I've lived in HOT before.

I really am. I've always said I'm a cold weather person but I didn't realise just how much before this week. I can deal with frostbite, six foot snow, anything cold but heat? No way. I think it's meant to hit around 21C today. Which to me is waaaay too much. :) *moves to Antartica*

[chickybee32.livejournal.com]

21C??? YOU WIMP!

[clo.livejournal.com]

SSSSHHHH!!! I come from a land of rain and grey skies! 21C is practically living in an oven for us. ;-)

[scoobydumblonde.livejournal.com]

*giggles* You are such a wimp. 21C? What is that F? *ponders* *goes to look it up*

Oh my GOD! That's only like 70F? You're such a wimp. You'd die if you came to the US. 70F is our average spring temperature. In Spokane, average summer temp is around 85-90.

... 'scuse me while I go die of shock now.

Y'all are insane, living in such places. How do you cope? o_O Months of cold torrential rain, no problem, but heat? Ick.

*makes a note to visit the Inmates in winter*

[scoobydumblonde.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

US? You're just a big ole wimp! And it's called airconditioning. You live in it when it gets above 80. *grins*

Good plan. As long as you don't mind below 0 F & C temperatures depending on where the Inmates live. ;-)

[clo.livejournal.com]

;P

You get air conditioning! We just get to cook in it. ;-) It's been around 25C today and all I wanted to do was sleep. I am never living somewhere hot, ever.

Minus temperatures, ice, six foot snow, sleet - that I can deal with. I'll probably be out dancing in it and making snow angels. *grins* I think I have the soul of an Eskimo.

*giggles* WIMP! We have hot weather for like three months though. You have it for three days. :-P You would die where my Aunt lives in California. Weather never drops below 100 during the summer and if it does, it's a cold front. *grins*

*giggles* I'll stand inside and laugh while you roll in the snow. ;-) Nah, actually, I'm pretty easy. I like playing in the snow.

[chickybee32.livejournal.com]

*evil laugh* You are gonna love my house. It's usually about 5 degrees colder inside than outside, no matter what time of year it is. There havebeen days when I've left the house in jeans and long sleeves only to discover it was really a long skirt and t-shirt kinda day.

[clo.livejournal.com]

*whimpers* Can... can I fly your house over here? Because right now 5 degrees colder inside would be awesome.

[chickybee32.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah... it's about 12 degrees outside atm, so it's probably about 8 in here atm. I'vegot my winter PJ's on (i never wear PJ's, I'm a nightie girl) an extra jumper, a blanket wrapped around me and I keep boiling water to stop my hands from going numb.

psst... why you not on MSN?

[clo.livejournal.com]

12 degrees?! *blinks* It is winter over there right? I'd probably be sitting around in a t-shirt and shorts, still bitching about how hot it was. I think I have great internal heating - which is great in winter, when everyone is freezing, but not so good when the world seems to have gone insane and decided Britain should have its decade-ly week of hot weather.

To be honest, I'm just catching up on a couple of fic comments I've missed in the last few days and going back to sleep. Feel like I'm working with a head full of fuzz, so don't think I'd be up to that much typing.

Whoa. Y'all obviously don't get a lot of sun in Britain. I mean - I've known that it's gray and rainy a lot therealthough the only time I was in Britain it was sunny and bright but this is just crazy.

I just did online metric convesions to find out how much 21C is in Farenheit. And then I had to check two more times just to make sure it was right. The high for where I live is about 37C with a heat index occasionally reaching around 43C. And I checked that again twice.

[clo.livejournal.com]

Nope. This is really weird for us. Usually it'd have broken and be raining right about now. Our summers usually aren't too bad, we just usually have rainy spells inbetween the sun. I miss my rain.

... You're joking? o.O But you have air conditioning in your house, right? Otherwise, how do you sleep in that heat?!

And suddenly I'm glad that when I was looking at foreign universities I could study at for next year, I never acted on the 'Hey, Texas could be fun!' impulse. I so would not have lasted a week. A day, even.

[mina-pak.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not joking. We do have AC constantly set at 77 degrees Farenheit about 25C. However, a lot of people choose to go to the beach or pool instead of staying inside. And starting in August I'll be spending 4 hours a day outside practicing for our marching band - until school starts and it's only two.

Texas is fun. Not all areas are as hot as Houston because we're right in the Gulf Coast area. The thing about Texas is that it's so big you can pretty much find almost any kind of weather here. I like Austin and San Antonio the best out of places I've visited. Although, I did just look at the weather reports and they're pretty hot right now too but I don't know the heat index.

[clo.livejournal.com]

Air conditioning. *dreams of it* Not worth it for all of the two weeks of the year we'd use it, but still. And we're kinda some distance from the beach and there are no outdoor pools. *sighs* Four hours?! I start to twitch after ten minutes spent outside in the sun when it's this hot. Four hours. *mute disbelief*

It was Austin Uni I could've gone to, not that I could've afforded it, but it was on the list. Then I realised I was mainly excited about the fact that Andy lives there, rather than anything else and decided perhaps I wasn't looking at the whole 'studying abroad' thing for the right reasons. *giggles* The insane heat in Texas is going to get put into tennis fic sometime, come to think of it. *ponders* Because I didn't realise it was *that* hot.
