[wouc89]

I keep hearing about this on the news. Here In Ottawa the temperatures is around 40 with humidex! Thank god for A/C. How are you guys are doing in the GTA (or elsewhere). Wish you all a functionning A/C system and LOTS of water!!

[Mazdy]

Yup here in the GTA is also 40+......what sucks right now is the A/C is broken at my work....so....go figures...:bang

Yeah, thank goodness there's A/C or else I would have died in this heat.. I go out for about 5 minutes and I'm sweating already..

It says on The Weather Channel that it feels like 41 in Scarborough... I don't think I'd be going out anytime soon....

[Mazdy]

Stay home with A/C and just run GT5 :D

Everyone seems to be staying home. Who wants to play tennis or golf?! :chuckle

I'm still used to this heat, so I'm ok :)

Tennis?! Whoa, one swing and my arm would fly off along with the racket.. :chuckle

[Mazdy]

Tom. Will be hotter....hopefully noone will say "i cant reach the meet at nextmorld because its too hot" :chuckle

[wouc89]

@ zumi: How can you be used to this kind of heat?

also, I dont remember who it was but there a comedian that said he never understood why there was a heat wave alert when its something pretty obvious!! Its not like you can be surprised by it!! Anyway I thought it was pretty funny!! ill try to find that video

[Thrizzl3]

im about 2 shades darker...all from washing my car lol

[aZuMi]

@ zumi: How can you be used to this kind of heat?

I grew up in a tropical country , so I always welcome heat. I've played tennis in 40 degree weather before with a buddy and I was fine.

[SKYMP3]

Don't feel it unless I go out....

Condo = central AC
Car = parked underground and car has good AC
Work = Freezing AC with indoor parking.

Only time I'm under the heat is when I have to go buy stuff at shops, grocery or gas stations.

[aris]

Stay thirsty my friends

[wouc89]

@ zumi: me too i grew up in a tropical country but after 10 years in a northen country I lost that compliance to heat!

@skymp3: show-off :p

@phil: same here! only the skin behind the watch is still in winter shade mode!:)

[Default User]

Meh....I like the heat. Makes my beer taste that much better

The extreme heat alert is more for those that plan to be outdoors for that day. Who's planning a camping trip tomorrow, or plans to be at Wonderland in this heat?

I'm more concerned for seniors and babies that need to be outdoors for extended periods of time...and don't forget pets.

[KenYork]

It's bearable out there. I work outside all year long +40, -40, all the same. Who b!tches about their mailman now?

[SonicBoy]

Too bad we can't bottle it and store if for Feb when we could really use it.

[ShortBus]

i've been working outside all week too...(but we're doing more than just carrying letters).:P

no but i respect all those that work outside all year long like i do.


but tomorrow maybe a half day, i want to go to the beach but i've got a real serious farmers/redneck/t-shirt tan.....

[-RJ3-]

Shorts tomorrow! Wish I can wear cut off shirts at work. Undertaker style hahaha

[peterm15]

Ya i work outside. -40 for me is alot easier to handle.
I work with windows. Touch a pane of glass that's been sittin in the sun tomorrow, you'll know why I'm bitchin.

[-RJ3-]

He'll yah or gettig into the car after a long hard day at work!

My gf works for a dermatologist, one of the best in canada. He sends home sunscreen and other stuff all the time for me. So needless to say I'm stocked up. I even have It for my lips.

[Kiyomi]

[Chuckie]

Give me a call if you're going to play some tennis Gian.
interested despite the heat.

[oxide]

it was 43 with humidex yesterday, ugh terrible.

[bluemazda3]

very terrible... i hate this weather especially when its so humid... and when winter comes we complain its too cold.... no win

[Flagrum_3]

Today it may possibly get to 50C+ with the humidex!! Glad I'm off this week.You guys wanna talk hot, try servicing buses in a garage full of hot buses and no AC.Probably lose a litre of water every hour...it sucks big-time.I'll take the cold over this shit anyday.

[-RJ3-]

Have a wet towel with you and water. Brightside. It isnt a snowstorm!

I for one happen to like snowstorms, just don't like driving/sharing the road in them. :)

[SilentJay]

Be sure to check in on senior citizens! A lot of 'em don't know better and won't keep cool/hydrated unless told.

[Thrizzl3]

ha! i love this weather..

[sp3GT]

^ I really don't mind this weather.

I rather have this then -30 with snowstorms. We shouldn't complain!

[FoXy]

I would like it better if I actually got to enjoy the heat, like go to the beach or something! Instead I spend all day inside then leave just to go home around dinner time and die of heat... boourns.

[Jackal]

I have a tennis match tonight at 7 pm. Lots of liquids with vitamin B and electrolytes. Oh boyyyy.

[Bleemer]

Heat wave? What heat wave, lol...
We're current crossing the northern US through Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Dakota, hottest place so far was in Yellowstone National Park about 83*F, but no one seems to mind. See here for some pics at the park

For those that go south in the summer (Cancun, Cuba, etc.) isnt this the normal temperature in these "desired" vacation locations?

[aZuMi]

I'll let you know if I have time. For sure I'll be at the driving range after work.

[rzapata]

What the H is going on?!?! Even though there's wind outside, it feels like a gas heater blowing directly at you..:bang

[Slade]

I went to Cuba last August (end of August) and it was 50degrees+ everyday, trying to eat breakfast at 8am and sweating into your food was no fun, but emptying the swim up bar of vodka was :)

The humidity wasn't as bad, but it was still there.

[Globex]

Will work from home today :)

[klspeed3]

the one's with a/c are staying home...this week I actually look forward to going to work because of the a/c!! it's pretty sad...i almost want to sleep here :sad

[Noisy Crow]

Well.... I'm wearing a sweater right now! I'm on the bottom floor in the middle of the building... and the A/C is set to keep the window offices and the upstairs at a reasonable temperature. So my area is friggin' cold.

But I am really happy I have A/C in my car... last two didn't.

[Takumi616]

A/C will be on full power today. I just came from outside and it's pretty hot right now as we speak.

[klspeed3]

the 10 second walk from my car to the office was brutal...:bang

[jonjon72]

Thank god for a short work week. Hopefully Boulder, CO next week will be more comfortable. Like the heat but humidity right now is a killer.

[rzapata]

Hmmm did anyone notice that the sky just went dark...... I hope it rains, might ease up the heat a bit...

[aZuMi]

Raining won't really help. It'll only release the heat from the roads/concrete, then it'll evaporate - leaving more steamy air...

I say just enjoy it.

[Chuckie]

No rain until late saturday and early sunday predicted, I heard that on the radio, and just checked to confirmed on cp24 site. The weather network is worse, doesn't predict rain til monday.

[rzapata]

I guess we'll just have to suck it up and live with it... It's really ok for now as it's not really affecting me yet.. Office is cool enough so that's good.

On the other hand, I retract my previous comment about hoping it rains. If it rains, I'll have to go out, and close the car's windows, which means I'll be cooked for about a minute..

Man, I got to stop complaining about this heat. It's not like I've never seen anything worst... :chuckle

[DualSoul]

Working from the DC today. Dressed for outside weather (shorts/T-shirt), so I'm actually a little cold now. :P

[bluemazda3]

AC = full blast...

We might actually be able to cook lumpia with this heat. Haha!:chuckle

[Slade]

I actually had to park in our overflow lot because I was late today, which means about a 5-10minute walk in this weather.

I had the a/c so cold in the truck when I got out my glasses fogged up.

And our office has the a/c on full boar, its great....and if that isn't cold enough I will just sit in one of the datacenters for a while lol.

Made sure to move my dog's crate in front of the a/c at home before I left with a fan blowing on her.

[prinsesa]

I havent stepped out of the house during the past 2 days =D

[wouc89]
