It's HOT

[Bozo]

Temps here in Pa are expected to hit 100+ F today.
Glad I'm inside in the A/C.

 

[Stereodude]

Supposed to be 92F here today and 95F tomorrow.

 

[ddrueding]

High 60's to low 70's here (19-22C)

 

[Will Rickards]

The dash in my car read 103°F

 

[Handruin]

It was 100°F here today also.

 

[CougTek]

The dash in my car read 37°C this afternoon. I think it's a bit higher than it truely was, but I'm sure it was at least 34°C. At 11pm, it is still 30°C outside.

The Elsemere island looks like a great place to spend my two weeks vacation at the end of July.

 

[LunarMist]

Yes it is. I need a new HVAC for $6800. :rant:

 

[ddrueding]

I live in a place where AC isn't necessary. That helps.

 

[LunarMist]

It depends on your definition of necessary. Species have existed for millions of years without HVAC. I've lived in many climates including some that have only heat or only AC and some that have a rather stable temperature in between.

However, I'm very temperature sensitive, preferring 22-24 °C and 15-25 %RH, depending on state of attire. Below 20 °C everything aches and above 26 °C my brain functions are reduced. Over 30 °C and I am fried, especially at >40% RH. The AC is on 100% of the time in my vehicles, regardless of the outside temperature or whether it blows hot or cold to maintain the environment.

You'll hate NYC summers then, Lunar. The RH rarely seems to get under 50%, with 70% and over being normal. That makes things sticky and uncomfortable even if temperatures are only 20°C, which they rarely are in the summers. We hit 102°F ( 39°C ) last Tuesday. I think RH was around 40%. Totally awful day. Even at night, it didn't drop much under 85°F. 45 minutes on the bike and my T-shirt was soaking wet. It felt like I was in :diablo:. After sweating like a pig for the last two weeks, even with A/C on, I've developed a pretty nasty rash around my neck. It's gotten a little better after using hydrocortisone cream. With this weather, I'm just as trapped in the house as I might be if it were -20°F outside. At least with the cold, you can always put on more clothes. Even start naked in this weather, I would melt.

I totally hate summers and hot weather with a passion. Can't wait for some nice snow on the ground.

 

[LunarMist]

No doubts there. As mentioned above, I've been to many locations throughout the world. I was stationed in tropical climates for a year straight (well inside Tropic of Cancer) in my younger days. :viking:

 

[LunarMist]

It is 38 °C inside the computer case. I wonder how much it can handle later in the day.:sunny:

 

[Stereodude]

Probably a lot more. :sunny:

 

[LunarMist]

I'm on the secondary system now. Despite the 4.2 GHZ it runs cooler since there is less in the case. It's 82 °F in this room. I still have 13,500 or so RAW files to convert and I don't want to kill anything.

 

[Stereodude]

CPUs all have thermal throttling / thermal protection built in, so as long as the case is reasonably well ventilated I wouldn't worry about it.

You can use something like CoreTemp or RealTemp to monitor the thermal sensors on the die if you're really worried about it.

 

[LunarMist]

The case is from 2001 and has two 80mm fans. It's rather dirty, yet not quite a biohazard. :bomb:

 

[ddrueding]

I still have 13,500 or so RAW files to convert and I don't want to kill anything.

So you convert all the files before making your "picks"? The first thing I do is narrow it down to a hundred or so before doing any processing.

 

[LunarMist]

I am all messed up in H2.

 

[Stereodude]

What are you doing with Hydrogen?

 

[Bozo]

What are you doing with Hydrogen?

Or a Hummer.

 

[LunarMist]

Burning hydrogen would be hot, but it is 77 in here now.

 

[snowhiker]

It's really hot.

http://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/arizona/surprise-2502669/

Temps falling to 109 by next week!

 

[ddrueding]

Surprise, indeed. I think the town could be renamed to "Fuck that..."

 

[LunarMist]

I would be dying in that zone now without a good AC.

 

[jtr1962]

I'm dying right now in NYC. About three weeks so far of unrelenting heat and humidity. It's really the humidity which makes these kinds of temperatures unbearable, and it doesn't get much better at night. I just came back from an 80 minute ride soaking wet. :x

 

[ddrueding]

The humidity has been pretty bad here, too. Today it was 80F with nearly 60% RH. Enough to make stuff sticky, and leather seats uncomfortable.

 

[Gilbo]

So hot... Damn you Canada. Freezing me in the winter, baking me in the summer.

It's 11PM and it's 29C and about 100% humidity.

 

[LunarMist]

100% RH? :-o

 

[jtr1962]

100% RH? :-o

Yeah, that's not overly uncommon here in NYC, either, especially on rainy days. Totally disgusting, even when temps are in the 50s or 60s F. 100% RH and 80+F, ugh. Might as well be in a sauna.

 

[LunarMist]

I though Canada was cold or cool. I guess not.

 

[ddrueding]

Some parts of Canada are like Moscow; hot or cold with perhaps a week in between. 30+C last week, with high humidity, and it will be like that until late August, and snowing by late September.

 

[snowhiker]

Surprise, indeed. I think the town could be renamed to "Fuck that..."

Close. 1am and it's still 93 degrees and 42% RH.

 

[ddrueding]

That is really brutal. This is a bad day for us.

 

[LunarMist]

I'm too hot now here and it will be worse later. It may be time to shut of the main computer and use a notebook.

 

[LunarMist]

That is really brutal. This is a bad day for us.

62°F and haxy?

 

[ddrueding]

Bah, I linked to "current". At the time, it was 74F with 60% RH.

 

[Stereodude]

Cry me a river sissy boy!

 

[CougTek]

I'm too hot now...

I would have expected that from Santilli, but now from you.

 

[LunarMist]

I would have expected that from Santilli, but now from you.

I don't recall the reference. Personal comfort is one thing, but a computer crash is serious. It can't take a shower to cool off.

 

[LunarMist]

It's 80°F in here. Someone may have to do an RDU in a couple of days. This sumner is killing me!
