You know it's hot outside when

it’s 94 on your patio at 11:00 PM
your pool feels like the same temperature
you put your sunglasses on in the car and they burn your nose
lady in my office attempts to bake cookies on the dash in her car and it almost works
your group ride cancels because it is 109

I know, HTFU!

you draught resistant plants are withered up and dying

upon climbing a small hill on your bike, you realize that because you chose to ride in such extremem high heats these could very well be the last minutes of your life; and then you pass out over your handle bars.

your pugs can’t stay out for more than 5 minutes.

you run at 6am to avoid the heat, yet when return from a 3.2 mile jont and have lost 7 pounds of water weight.

I spread 6 cubic yards of bark in the yard yesterday morning and promptly passed out and slept for 4 hours. It was so hot there were no takers at the day labor center.

As Paris would say, thats HOT!

You’ve been at 0 F forever in the depths of the Alaskan winter when all of a sudden the Gods decide to send a 35 degree day. You run a round like a mad man in shorts (speedo???) and T-shirt, and you think it’s balmy…

We almost turned on our heater last night. It was freezing (low 50s). Trade you.

Where is the ‘you know it’s been raining a lot when…’ thread?

You don’t want to trade. Bagged my run this morning because I woke up late and it was already upper 90’s a little after 7 in the morning.

Okay, go ahead, call me a freak, but I absolutely love this heat and humidity… and it’s not even August… the best is yet to come! 100 degrees/100% humidity… when I walk out of the door, my body just sighs in contentment.

And since I’m an early riser, I really enjoy running at 5 am… with the humidity at that time of morning, the air is almost always a bit foggy and the scent of the flowers is so intense… the jasmine, the gardenias, the magnolias… absolutely my favorite time of the year to run.

Come home to a cold shower, a hot mug of coffee and watch the sun rise… life is good.

It’s been hotter’n $h1t in PHX. That 79ish deg water felt really good at noon swim workout today.

Where do you live? I don’t like heat and humidity, but I love hot and not humid. Like here in the East Bay or AZ. I lived for 2 years in AZ and worked outside every day.

Sunny here right now but cold and the fog is rolling in. Hate it.

I hope that fog bank is at least 1000 feet deep so it can begin pouring over the east bay hills and down here to the San Ramon Valley where its a balmy 104 right now. It was 90 when I went to bed last night at 9:30 and 81 inside the house when I got up at 6:00 am…88 in here right now and building.

The marine layer yesterday was only got up to 900 feet and the fog didn’t get past Grizzly Peak…WE WANT OUR AIR CONDITIONING DAMMIT!!!

Want to trade??? Seriously.

I’m hoping it’s nice and hot in Pleasanton/San Ramon/Livermore next weekend as I’ll be spending the weekend there just to get away from this.

Currently 100 in Tracy, so you should be just fine.

As they say, be careful what you wish for…but you’re used to this stuff. Sometimes.

You are treated for third degree burns after “frying your eggs” by climbing on your sun soaked black saddle wearing nothing but spandex

Roadkill bubles and pops and smells like Kentuky Fried Chicken

You climb a stranger’s fence and risk getting arrested to drink from their garden hose

Your De Rosa Tango looks like it is melting.

I’m in Phoenix. I don’t mind the heat late morning or in the afternoon. But when you walk out your door at 7 am and it is hot and at least more humid than later in the day, it is harder than normal.

Ah yeah, I remember that. I worked helping to build an adobe house just on the So. Mnt. park border one summer and we worked 5AM to about 11AM. I spent the rest of the day laying in the pool on a raft with a jug of water poolside.

you plan your long workouts around various sprinkler schedules

By the time you hang the last thing on the clothes line the first thing is already dry.

You find yourself in an inordinate number of squirt gun wars

After your lunch workout you need to put an ice pack on your jugular for 20 minutes until you can walk back into the office.

Your gill thermostat registers something when the grill is off.

When being at a place like this sounds “refreshing”

Yep these would probably look good too. :wink:

My vagina starts panting. And I don’t even have a vagina.

We almost turned on our heater last night. It was freezing (low 50s). Trade you.

LOL! I’d sleep with windows open in the 50’s…perfect!

Your windshield cracks when you wash the car.

You run to shade spots in sand or pavement to keep from burning your feet.

Your car at Max A/C only gets the car cool the last 1/4 of the way home. Turn it off
the car is back to 105 in seconds.

Too tired to eat / too hot to sleep .

Ipod cpu goes dead over 110 F , cool down to play.

You ride the busy boardwalks and smooth walking roads / paths , as your the only one out
at 100 + at noon.
