Hey, I'm not there, I just wish I was. My friend who lives in the Bay Area sometimes checks my forecast and calls me to make fun of me when my weather is terrible but his is great as always.
Same here... I work in a factory in NY and it's usually like 2-5° hotter in the factory than outside... With this humidity it's absolutely atrocious working conditions.
Thanks to the SCOTUS we now have to rely on them to clarify laws like the law in NY that says "all factories must maintain reasonable temperature and humidity."
...that's it. There's no definition to "reasonable" in that law. It's exactly the kind of situation they dumped Chevron Deference for. Now they get to protect corporations even more...
please can we swap? please, it's been 36C outside for the past two weeks (with maybe a day or two of 24C) in Poland. Leaving the house is just not a good idea survival wise, my flat can barely cool down at night to sleep, i'd kill for 15C and rain right now
You should try the pacific northwest. It gets up into the 90s a few days per year. Not really any natural disasters. Floods I suppose, but as long as you don't buy a house in a flood plain (why do people build there?) you'll be fine. No snow, if that's your thing. Just a lot of rain in the fall/spring/winter.
I'm in Spokane currently and really like the climate, though I'm a weirdo who likes overcoming extreme cold and heat (cold more than heat), and I love the snow, driving in it included. I could honestly take colder and longer winters.
We now have smoke season in the PNW. It gets really bad, and last for like a week or 2. I think since like 2018 we have been getting them. Then again, I live in Seattle, and Spokane is a lot further from the mountains.
Honestly, I don't care about the temperature at all. I spent time in Nevada when it was a balmy 102F and it was actually pleasant. But a Minnesota 85F with 95% humidity fucking kills me. There is no escaping high humidity heat.
I'm in the Netherlands. We've had like three days of summer so far. Mostly rain. I'm not complaining though. It's nice change from previous years of serial heat waves. There's still time for the heat waves though, so we'll see how this year will go into the books.
