About the same temps are expected up in Denmark later this week
-from
25=B0C and maybe even up to 30=B0C next weekend.
But that of course raises the question of air conditioning . Just
wondering if anyone in this group would have any opinion on this ?

Here in Shropshire (west-central England) the forecast is for 22 on
Friday, about time too. However I can't be certain it'll be right,
those 5-day forecasts often aren't.
Most years we get the first 70F (21C) here in late April or early May,
this year has been the latest since (so far) 1996.=20

How do you smell at the end of a long day in the heat?

With my allergies I can't smell at all.

Har, har.

But not to kid, since body odor is caused by bacteria spawning in
the liquid sweat and sweaty dampness on your body, and since in
Arizona the humidity is so low that you rarely have
bacteria-promoting sweat on your body, one generally doesn't
smell that bad at all.

Global warming was predicted to produce a short fall in Oz.

How do you feel about the crétin Bush now?

Sadly there is no single person that can be blamed for global warming.
Even if we could turn on a dime, the reversing wouldn't take place for
decades. It requires more creative solutions than merely tweaking a
few policies here and there.

Piffle.

We're expecting 43C here in Tucson this afternoon.

What's the hottest you have had?

(I felt 52C in central Oz once, and was incapacitated)

The hottest I have a nasty memory of was in Los Angeles, California, 46C.
Circumstances have a lot to do with my memory of this heat, however. We
were living in a small apartment without air conditioning, and because I had
a bladder infection, my doctor had told me to take baths as hot as I could
stand. I was hot, hot, hot! Miserable!

It's at the point when my joints start throbbing that I give up. The
only relief I could find was with the coldest beer I could find - and
lots of it. The most important thing was eating the occasional bit of
food too, as the brain does some funny things when your salt levels
drop.

Turn the air conditioning off, and enjoy.

Why not leave it on and stay cool?

The same as anyone would. Why would he be any different?

An opinion on air conditioning? Do you mean "for it or against it"?
Having lived my life (except for 2 years in California) in climates
with very hot weather in the summers, hot and humid as well, I am
grateful for air conditioning when temperatures warrant using it.
That said, I use it as little as possible. A good summer is one when
air conditioning use can be kept to the minimum. I am old enough to
remember summers with no air conditioning and the many measures we
had to take in extreme heat. And I don't care for air conditioning
kept at a frosty level. Just enough to remove humidity from the air
and keep one reasonably comfortable.

Yep. Nothing worse than walking into 20C(68F) from
40C(104F), then out again. It's a shock to the system in
both directions. And also leads to a bloody expensive
electricity bill.

I keep it at 30C(86F) when it's hotter than that outside,
never less than 25C if I bother to have it on when it's over
25C outside. I do occasionally, but only if it's excessively
humid.

Because that would be decadent and wasteful and eco-ugly. Better to
suffer unproductively like people did 5000 years ago (or as they do
today in places like Europe).


You'll be happy, the weather report now predicts 31°C on Friday!

I have been posting Paris weather items since the mid '90s.
Here is my Mar 28 1996 report

There's a good chance it might have been boring as **** in 1996 too!


Some were, but I got complements at the time plus visitors to Paris
inviting me out for a drink!

However, it was my "slice of Parisian" life stuff that interested
people. Since then we spent a lot more of our energy visiting
prisons, which has its interesting aspect.

But please, do tell us the temperature in Paris every day for the rest
of the summer. If nothing else, it will keep the Mixithing in business,
and tthose of us inclined to play with it.

I already posted that Friday it will be 31°C, which will freak Mixithing
out. But Saturday it will drop to 26°C, which is when we head
out to the Caen prison.
