What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

[CurSedVoyce]

All kinds of fun weather...

Funnel clouds spotted Thursday in Merced

Funnel clouds have been showing up around the Central Valley for the past 3 days.

It’s nice to be back home where it’s t shirt by the fire weather in the evening

 

[Burnham]

Same here...T-shirt by the fire. But the fire is in the woodstove and I'm in the living room. It's 37 degrees outside .

 

[davidwyby]

I’m jelly of the stove


Whilst up north I slept by one in a house in the woods…not much better.

 

[Knotorious]

It's 46 degrees outside and it's 9pm right now. I have my window open and it's hot in my apartment still from all my neighbors using their heat. What a bunch of squares. It was another perfect, sunny day today. Shocker.

Just turned my fan on. No wood stove for this guy.

 

[Kaveman]

So it begins...for today anywho.

18° at 0600, but dawn is just beginning to crack.

If I could find my hammer, I might could get a jump on fixing it...

 

[CurSedVoyce]

50% chance of rain today at my elevation next to the drive way.

Around 65 today, absolutely beautiful day to go weld on the roof.

 

[Burnham]

34 degrees for a high, after 29 degrees low last night. Snowed lightly from around 3 am and then all day...got about 2 inches. Wet sloppy stuff.

 

[Kaveman]

About 40°, in the pre-dawn gloom. 25mph winds gusting to 40mph. Light, intermittent rain. Mostly the clouds are the high thin type, just enough to shade out the warmth of the sun, while the keening wind chases away any vestige of heat gathering anywhere.

As much as I complain, one way or the other, I don't mind the weather, no matter what it's doing. That is until I have to work in the worst conditions offered. Like yesterday, mounting tires on rims by hand, in the dirt, the gusts ripping dust from the ground and flinging it into my face.

[Kaveman]

Oh piss off both of you! Lolz. I'm consuming Arizona interoccurally! I need to find some goggles for the windy seasons...

 

[lxskllr]

Pretty warm today(50s), and now it's raining. I just started a fire. It's 54° in the house, and only supposed to go to 51° tonight, and 60s tomorrow, but I just felt chilled. I wanted to hold off til tomorrow night when the temps really drop, but whatever. I think I have enough dry wood for the season, and it's free, so why not?

 

[Burnham]

You? Chilled??


54 degrees in the house is shivering zone for this old dog .

 

[Knotorious]

I feel so lame on this thread. Pretty much the same shit, different day. It's 73 degrees and I'm sweating my balls off in my apartment. Got my one openable window open, can't open the other one for some cross breeze; it's just for show apparently. Got my tower fan running at half blast on my body whenever I sit down at my computer. My apartment complex doesn't allow for A/C during the winter months, which is honestly quite cruel for those of us who don't get cold easily at all.

I guess you don't have much time left there to bother, but a swamp cooler might make up the difference in the off season.

My ex used to use one of those. I hear they are highly effective. No, not much more time over here, though. Need to send my money towards having all of my stuffs sent over to MA. But great idea nonetheless.

 

[Burnham]

Wearing a wet t shirt in front of a fan will cool one down quite well.

 

[lxskllr]

If you felt like playing around, and along the lines of Burnham's suggestion, a box fan slightly elevated with a tub of water below it, and a material like a bedsheet clipped to the front of the fan with the bottom in the water might do something for you cheap and easy.

What could possibly go wrong with that ghetto setup?

 

[lxskllr]

Well, ya gotta have some sense. Keep out of traffic areas, and make sure everything's secure. Nothing's risk free, but that's a fairly safe setup if you do it right.

*Puts on wet t-shirt and sits in front of fan and says "aaaaaaaahhh"* ❄️

Now there's a thing you don't see every day...a guy from the rain forest telling a guy from the desert about how evaporative cooling works .

Glad it helped .

Haha, it's pretty intuitive. It's how our sweat functions. It just never occured to me to try it out in my home. But it works beautifully! Thanks so much!
