^^heat index in Raleigh didn't top 105 last week.

[Edited on July 6, 2010 at 1:09 PM. Reason : not in NC it didn't]

7/6/2010 1:09:26 PM

fuck. now more yankees are gonna move down here

7/6/2010 1:10:47 PM

Nah, they're just calling in sick and flooding the beaches for the cool (70-75°F) water. At least...that's what I'd do.

7/6/2010 1:31:50 PM

Some lady in philly died already because of the heat.

7/6/2010 1:38:10 PM

7/6/2010 1:44:16 PM

^^I was floating in a pool on Long Island till around 2 yesterday, felt really niiiiiiice.

^Geez man, why do you torture yourself? I was never without AC during my tenure in NYC.

7/6/2010 1:45:59 PM

I can't afford to operate an AC unit

I also couldn't afford to buy one now even if I wanted to

but I'm moving at the end of the month

7/6/2010 1:55:13 PM

they have cooling locations across the city i've heard.. if you're stuck at your place

7/6/2010 1:56:04 PM

Here is a picture of one such location.

"Police arrested two parents accused of panhandling in the heat with their two-year-old girl by their side. Now, the couple faces child neglect charges for making the toddler stand out in the heat and beg for cash. The couple, identified as Lindsay Ramon and Jacob Cotton, were spotted by a passerby in the Hardee's parking lot at Emerson Avenue and Thompson Road around 1 p.m. Sunday. The same passerby called police after noticing them in the same parking lot five hours later. "We saw the man standing there with a sign, you know like panhandling or whatever, which didn't bother me. I didn't see the child, the child was actually passed out in the grass it was so hot. We thought it was a duffle bag," said witness Rebecca Lucas. "I didn't see a child at first, I just thought a little pink bag was on the floor. He had picked her up and she was kinda limp." Officers said they found the child's mother at a nearby Wal-Mart with a pocket full of cash and needle marks on her arms. The child was placed in protective custody."

...shit makes me pumped to landscape for 5 hours (after working out).

7/6/2010 2:13:20 PM

^try not to die, okay?

7/6/2010 2:29:18 PM

Man, us here in Oklahoma are supposed to be seeing that kind of weather in July. So far this month we've averaged 88 degrees and have had 6 inches of rain since the first of the month. Stay safe out there, guys

7/6/2010 3:26:39 PM

^^^^

damn.. I'm glad someone saw that and called the authorities. That little girl could have died.

7/6/2010 4:16:53 PM

when i move in the next year or two, it will be to a location with a) COLD weather or b) two seasons (Spring and Fall)

money be damned. i want to be comfortable

7/6/2010 4:19:40 PM

okay this heat is getting fucking old now

7/6/2010 5:17:45 PM

i'm supposed to go for a run in 3 hours.... really not looking forward to that.

7/6/2010 5:18:13 PM

these past 6 hours at temps above 100 degrees have become uncomfortable and I am now very tired

7/6/2010 5:24:38 PM

it's 100 degrees in morrisville right now


shut your bitch asses up

7/6/2010 5:55:31 PM

Global Warming: Highs getting Higher. Lows getting higher.



I don't know what we are going to do when all the ice melts at the poles. A cup of ice water remains ice cold until all the ice is gone... and then the temperature increases rapidly upto room temp.

What is room temperature for Earth?

7/6/2010 5:59:09 PM

^^a lot of ppl in the Northeast don't have AC so why don't you shut up (Snewf, for instance).

^sorry I don't read retarded.

7/6/2010 6:11:52 PM

So you think I'm retarded for reasoning that the absence of ice at the poles will affect the weather? Nice.

7/6/2010 6:17:30 PM

temps here in Florida have been between 90 and 100 for weeks. hell, one day the heat index was 116.

of course, I'm a Mainer, so I'm dying in this heat.

7/6/2010 6:21:36 PM

in honor of this shitty fucking weather I decided to watch a shitty fucking movie

The Day After Tomorrow

...

7/6/2010 6:35:18 PM

and I work outside.

7/6/2010 10:16:21 PM

Someones just pissed because he planned a trip to the north expecting to get away from the heat... And now mother nature says fuck you and had it as hot there as it is here in NC

Neener neener neener!

7/6/2010 10:21:16 PM

65 here in huntington beach and it was the same last week and will be the same for at least another week.

we need to cap n trade some of those degrees

7/6/2010 10:24:16 PM

It really is getting on my nerves up here... I can hardly get things done thanks to this garbage. Usually we have a nice breeze from the Hudson, but it's just like getting hit with a mega hairdryer when you walk out there now.

Not to mention if I want to run, I have to do it at 3 am or never thanks to this crap

7/6/2010 10:25:21 PM

Up here in Richmond it got up to 103 today.... and it sucked

7/6/2010 10:26:27 PM

According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/):

"July 6, 2010
Rapid ice loss continues through June

Average June ice extent was the lowest in the satellite data record, from 1979 to 2010. Arctic air temperatures were higher than normal, and Arctic sea ice continued to decline at a fast pace. June saw the return of the Arctic dipole anomaly, an atmospheric pressure pattern that contributed to the record sea ice loss in 2007."


Also:

"The linear rate of monthly decline for June over the 1979 to 2010 period is now 3.5% per decade. This year’s daily June rate of decline was the fastest in the satellite record; the previous record for the fastest rate of June decline was set in 1999. This rapid decline was in part driven by ice loss in Hudson Bay."




Do with the information what you will...

I would more likely believe what i'm seeing and feeling outside verses your piece of shit sunday times article, solinari.

Is it surprising that every year is the new hottest summer on record? Or is that normal for a place that isn't experiencing a global warming.

you do your side a disservice sir. they would appreciate it if you kept your ignorance hidden by never discussing this topic in public again.

^^hey green earth hippie boy, take your agenda over to TSB where we can laugh at you in the proper forum.

[Edited on July 6, 2010 at 10:56 PM. Reason : its well known that the polar ice has been expanding at a rapid pace the last few years.]

You speak about my ignorance? you have no data in any shape and form. You're such a loser at this argument it's not funny. Your brain is incapable of seeing your own failures. You're shaking a floppy hot dog in a sword fight.
